I saw the deal for $80 for just the audio interface and then found this set with headphones and microphones included for only $20 more. It looks like it's normally $300 for the set.
I tried the Rode audio interface and did not like it, and I was going to get focusrite but I think this looks better.

Yeah, it'll work just fine for both of those things.

Went with the H224 because it seemed like a cheap option for a new interface that could handle 2 inputs, had a more mixer-like layout, and reviews were mostly positive.
The included mics and headphone are probably worth $20 if you have no other mics and/or headphones.

I couldn't find a good comparison review of the focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and the H224 so that is good to know! I have been eyeing the 4th gen and even saw some sales, but I think it was $149 at the cheapest just for the interface, and $199 currently for a similar bundle. The rode ai-1 nt1 bundle I got was closer to $300 and I'm just not happy with it for the price.
My first mic was a Sterling, they're really nice for the value end of things. It was kind of like a budget AT2020. I ended up switching to dynamic mics because they don't pick up as much background noise, but I do remember my sterling very fondly.
