"Perfect"

I got this as a gift for my fiance, I had preordered it not know it wasn't the SX version. Well needless to say, when I gave to him worried of the outcome he was thrilled! And might I say shed a tear or two. And found that he enjoys it much more than the SX. And zzounds are amazing with trust people to try the product, and pay in installments! Made it easy and affordable!

"Great Controller"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Just got this controller about a week ago and its incredible !!! I have used other controllers but this is the best by far !! The pro looks and feel are great features and the pads add versatility to your mixes ! I was not impressed all that much with the Serato DJ (too much setup involved with library ) so i choose to keep running my Virtual DJ with this controller and it works wonderful after setting up the parameters. You will not be disappointed with this !!!

"Great mix of form and function."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The DDJ-SR is the perfect mix of form, being a fairly portable controller and function, being packed with features, some that are exclusive to the SR model. The price point is a nice middle area between the more costly and less portable DDJ-SX models and the entry level DDJ-SB. The build quality is what I would expect from Pioneer, while being light weight and compact enough to easily take out and about.

Upgraded from a ddj wego and this is miles better. Awesome features, the performance pads are responsive, big jog wheels, the serato software is excellent. If you want a professional feeling controller for a great price this is your controller. Pioneer made another excellent product which is always expected of them.

"Love it"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I really like this controller. this is the first one i've owned, but Ive used a NI S4 and a couple others before. You cant go wrong with Pioneer. The pads are really fun, and the jog wheels are great too. There was an issue at first when moving both pitch faders at once, but that was solved with the latest firmware update. If you dont need the four channels and stand alone mixer of the SX, get this.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have always been a vinyl DJ. I decided to get this as a backup and for small gigs. It works amazing. All the features Im use to using with the SP1 plus the convenience of 4 decks and 2 channel mixer. Great for the price. I only wish it were the same platter size as the bigger brother but no biggie. Sound is excellent. Mic inputs great. And I can record live sets easily. Worth every penny!!!

"Perfect... exactly what I needed!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I was bred a vinyl DJ since '97 then jumped to Serato with control records. Although vinyl is still my overall preference (especially for clubs), the DDJ-SR is exactly what I needed for mobile gigs and recording mixes at home. It's compact, light weight, everything (cues, EFX, etc.) is laid out perfect on the controller, and definitely an easy transition from vinyl!... no lag to reaction times, spinback feature in Vinyl mode, jog wheels much easier to control than other controllers I've tried and (if needed) the Sync feature to quickly beat match your next song versus using the pitch. I chose this model over the DDJ-SX because of the price point and I since I'm more accustomed to a two-channel DJ setup. I have yet to try the on-board mic input since I send all my gear to a Mackie mixer but it sounds great over my system! I was considering other controllers but went with Pioneer for their great reputation with DJ equipment and I'm glad I did! The DDJ-SR did not disappoint and I highly recommend it to anyone! Only con for the meantime is that, since it's a new product on the market, carrying cases are limited.

"Pioneer DDJ-SR"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
What a difference from previous virtual DJ setup! Every time I turn the DDJ on, it works flawless. Setup was sort off tricky because I had update the firmware, it took a couple of tries since i had to go to Pioneer's website for instructions. Once setup was complete the DDJ-SR function great. I had some issues with the unit freezing up but, once i update the firmware to 1.07, i have no issues since. i'm still trying build my crates in Serato, so it will be awhile before i will finish my library. you definitely want to create your crates as that will help your selections to load must faster. Overall, a great product and i'm 100% happy with this unit. Additionally, the transaction with ZZsounds was painless and fast!! A great store as well.

This controller has a very solid feel and all control knows and faders are suitable to the Pioneer name. The precision on all aspects of audio monitor/cue management are very very precise and make for great ear to live ratio. The fx knows and pads are highly precise. The sound monitoring and eq is spot on. My suggestion....if you are a house music DJ and work as an artform, get this controller!!!

Was a vinyl dj back in late 90's finally earning a living thought I would buy the SR. This thing is sick!! The tricks I could only think of back in the day are a simple button press away!! So much fun. Paired with Serato it is unbelievable. Not to mention the Pulselocker. I am so glad I made this purchase! Have fun

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
There was a small mishaps with the shipping but it was resolved with a credit being issued for the undelivered services. The controller itself looks nice but the software has bugs that need to be worked out. I am currently working with Serato to resolve the issue. I would go with the Pioneer DDJ SX over the DDJ SR. Im looking into returning the DDJ SR and ordering the DDJ SX. it is more stable with the software. Overall the controller is good.
