I'm happy with this product because it kicks at gigs. I've used it the next month at a big gig and i felt the satisfaction of playing music to an audience!
Sound
The sound on this machine is amazing. At first, I thought it would be something similar to behringer, making something as good for a cheaper price. I guess i'm wrong, this lil fellow plays whatever you want and sounds just fine. Compared to the pioneer mk3, i think they're the same in suond.
Features
The features on this machine are ill, very similar to the pioneer's altho i think that the looping have a small problem. Mine skips sometimes so i never get to cue at the right moment.
Ease of Use
When you first get it, you think "OMG, where am I guna start", looks very explicit and too many buttons, but in a matter of hours, you'll learn how to use this beast!
Quality
It's very rough and strong, I guess it will hold up for a while! Quality wise, perfect, altho it would've been nice if it were to have a bigger screen and more lighting on the buttons.
Value
I think 399 is a joke. Compared to bigger products such as the denon dn-s5000 or the pioneer cdj800 or cdj1000, its really cheap and offers you exactly what you need, altho denon and pioneer have their own way of producing their products.
Manufacturer Support
I didn't deal with them yet, mine works just gfine, apart from the looping, but i got very used to that so i'm fine for the moment.
