Feature:
OK Dj's I am sorry that I have not proffesionally worked with my tech. 1200mk2, but because I started as a digital DJ, I would have to say the backspins and vinyl sounds are terrific. Cueing, large dial, looping (flawless), digital readout, all of this is easy to use. It is also very attractive, people that have never seen a digital turntable are absolutely amazed. It has no rotating platter, so people stare and wonder about how I get that vinyl sound from a CD player. I wish it had a sampler, and effects, then it would be a force to be reckoned with.

Quality:
I have had mines now for almost 3 years, no problems yet. (Knock on wood).

Value:
Definitely. It is and should be the standard for DJ's. I love the sound of my tech. mk2, but I can buy 1 billion CD's but vinyl is pricey and hard to find at times. It's worth every penny.

Desirability:
This is the next best thing to my family and GOD. I love my CDJ 1000's.

Sound:
The sound quality is brilliant and very percise, no humming or static, great quality sound. I use these for DJing and putting vocals to instrumentals and the sound is still incredible. It is what you imagine from a studio pressed CD. When recording the playback is flawless.

Support:
Yes, I ordered a new crossfader for my DJM500 mixer. They had it to me in 3 days and answered every question. They were OK.

Overall:
I feel that this machine has covered all the basics that I need. Many of the greatest DJ's have used the same Tech 12 analog players from day one and still use them until this day. I feel the same with my CDJ1000's. They will be here forever as is the Technics 1200's.

Feature:
This has a crapload of features. The loops the hoops, buy it today just for all the great things you can do with it.

Quality:
I think of this as the industry standard for dj cd players. I mean you can scratch, loop, mark, cue and all that on this. The only difference between this and a turntable is size and features, the second of which this one kicks ass.

Value:
Definitly worth the money and the wait. Just save up its worth it....

Desirability:
Definitly a genius cd player hands down. You dont even have to be a dj to have fun on this thing...

Sound:
The sound is good I guess, not necesarily the best sound you ever heard, but hey, its sound.

Support:
You want support? go to www.the-dj-equipment-guide.com They have great tutorials on this particular product.

Overall:
Okay people if you haven't gotten the point yet, its a great product, just buy it and you'll rave about it too.

Feature:
I am a hip hop DJ. I do not need all the reverb/sample/etc. I need a reliable machine that gives me the real time scratch.

Quality:
Yes, I am having trouble with the lighted screen. It seems as if the plug is connected to the screen, so if i play with it the light would come on. The machine is still working well, so it is just the light.

Value:
Price is way to high for a new DJ, which means more gigs for me. I think you need to pay for quality. I want Pioneer to be more accessable if they are going to charge so much!

Desirability:
Come out with some crazy colors. At this point who cares, people see us using them. I use to only think black so that kids do not think I am cutting corners with my craft, but at this point who cares.

Sound:
Great Sound!

Ease of Use:
Like I said before. I am a party style hip hop DJ. I can not get good help anymore, so I can not carry all my vynle around to gigs. Pioneer is a blessing. I was thinking of retirement from DJing until I purchased my CDJs. It is now the standard in clubs. some clubs try to take short cuts, but the other systems stink! Thanks, Pioneer.

Support:
Never! My freind says once the scratch capability goes out, it will be hard to get the company to fix it, but if it last for over 4 or 5 years it is ok.

Feature:
Loop, master tempo and hot cue are great features but are basically standard across most players at this price. Could have benifitted from some extra pioneer effects.

Quality:
Black plastic finish is nothing special but still looks the part. LEDs on Play/cue buttons are too bright. Very durable - as good on the move as they are stuck in a club.

Value:
A great player and industry standard but still a bit pricey for some.

Desirability:
Requisite for any cutting edge DJ.

Sound:
crystal clear except with lossy formats

Support:
Had one problem with a pioneer product in the past. They sent me a replacement within 1 week and were very friendly.

Overall:
A lot of challengers have come up with gimmicky pretenders. Don't be swayed by revolving platters etc. The 1000s are not trying just to emulate vinyl, they've improved upon many aspects of it while other companies are trying to hard to emulate vinyl with a warts-n-all approach. This is a CD player, not vinyl emulator and as that, its a damn good one.

Feature:
the most useful features is one the scratching the sound taste and thestrongest off it and the neatness

Quality:
it made well an more than made well

Value:
it wat the price becuase the effect is too much and they re all useful

Desirability:
it has the most sex appeal for technical marvel

Sound:
the sound is very very expressive because when am using it it give me my taste and that taste is the most good taste i hav3e ever seen

Support:
i will deal with them with honest attitude they really try

Overall:
ok i am satisfied with this product before geting anothere for 5 years

Feature:
Every 'feature' it has can be achieved with two vinyl turntables and an effects unit, the difference being using two vinyl records for looping (as an example) requires a great deal of skill, but pressing buttons on a cd player does not.

Quality:
Pretty robust, but then again, it damm well should be for the price.

Sound:
Its a digital audio player. It cannot reproduce true sine / triangle waves (and to be fair no cd / mp3 player can) thus is flawed when compared to a vinyl turntable.

Ease of Use:
almost too easy, anyone can be a 'DJ' with a pair of these. They cannot make you a GOOD dj though.
