This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
When i get rid of it, it'll be because i'm either mad, or upgrading, which i won't do for a long time.
Sound
Expressive, passionate, and perfect for the price. No problems here.
Features
Ok, it doesn't have the features of a cdj, but who cares? For the price, it's wonderful, fun, and most of all, reliable. The jog wheel is easy to use, and the BPM counter is quite accurate. Beginners get more than they need, which is a good thing.
Ease of Use
Learned to beatmix in 3 days, nuff said.
Quality
Love it's design, it's very reliable, and i don't need to worry for a long time about any misfunctions.
Value
199 dollars? Haha, it's worth at least 250. Buy it while you can!
Manufacturer Support
I got 2 at X-Mas, they both blew. This wasn't the product's fault, as i live in Europe, they gave me an American power setting of 115V/60Hz. Very nice, they even sent me 2 fresh ones the following DAY!
The Wow Factor
It just wants to be bought and used to it's potential.
