Pioneer DJ DJ Controller, 5.16X22.95X13.46 (DDJ-SB2)

The Pioneer DJ DDJ-SB2 controller is an amazing product for the cost with a cutting edge quality, and a clean digital sound. The jog wheels with platinum touch are very precise. Despite coming with Serato Intro, I used the table with Djay Pro (Algoriddim), and the response of controls, mixer, pitch, equalizers, effects and crossfader, were perfect. The lighting and colors of the buttons are good, without exaggeration. In the dark or low light it shine calling more attention. Talking about be noticed, anywhere you go with the SB2, it will not be difficult to impress your friends and hear someone say: -"Wow, what a beautiful controller!". It really looks professional and the performance is professional. As my first controller, I am very excited because it is possible to practice all the djs techniques, including the famous scratch. If u looking for a robust, competent controller, with a buit-in mixer that will not let you down, this is the perfect device to begin to mix at the exact moment you connect to your laptop. Just enjoying it!

WARNING: DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU ENJOY MUSIC. YOU WILL SPEND HOURS SUCKED INTO THE HOME THAT IS DJ-ING.With that being said, I'd give this deck 6 stars if I could. Build quality, function, everything is perfect & the price is right on. This is an awesome beginner deck that you can sink hundreds of hours into without feeling like you're being held back by hardware. Any serious DJ would be looking to upgrade their deck eventually to get more control, but this deck will keep a noobie going for a while, while they learn they basics and begin to progress into the intermediates of DJ-ING. Highly recommend upgrading to the full version of serato safer you've played with this for a month or two on serato intro.

This is an amazing DJ controller. There are an insane amount of possibilities with this compared to other starter controllers and the best under $300. It has different options to loop tracks and play sound effects.Pros-Affordable-Easy Use-Easy SetupCons-Doesn't come with softwareIf the controller had come with the full version of Serato software it would have easily gotten 5 stars. They offer a trial for the software but don't actually include it in the bundle.Other than that, wonderful controller! Pioneer really hit the spot on this one.

Great controller for the price! Loaded with great features for what would be most people's introductory controller. The controller is small and light, making it easily portable. The self-powerd USB plug means there's fewer cables to worry about. The jogwheels have a little more tension than I expected and don't spin very freely if you try and throw them forward or backward, but they are exceptionally sensitive and easy to use. Operation with headphones plugged into the controller is much better than some of the pricier controllers I've used.All in all, a super simple and enjoyable controller to use and absolutely unbeatable for the price.

I used to dj when I was younger with a set of 1200's and a simple 2 channel mixer. Just recently I have been itching to mix again, so I thought I would buy one of these all in on controllers. I thought something under 300$ would feel kind of cheap, or toyish. Boy was I wrong. The ddj sb2 has completely surpassed my expectations. Not only does it feel sturdy and professional, but it comes with a ton of cool features like filter fader, effects, and looping controls. The only draw back, is to truly unlock it's features you will need to purchase serato dj for 129$, but compared to virtual djs 300$ price tag it's nothing really. Technology sure has made it easier to relive my youth and mix again without spending thousands of dollars. Buy this and you'll be blown away.

I'm a middle-aged man and I wanted to try my hand at making my own music selections with a twist. I was a big fan of House music back in the late 80's and early 90's, so I thought what the heck? This can't be that hard can it? I bought the Pioneer brand controller because, well, it's Pioneer and most of the reviews were positive towards its use, design, and functionality. There are several buttons which control how you want your music to be heard. The touch pads seem quite sturdy for me, but then again, I'm not using it every weekend. I like the feel of everything and have no complaints. I had already compiled a large library of music and off I went. I have tried on numerous occasions to get the right mix down. Boy! is it hard! I will never look at a DJ and think he/she has an easy job. I'm not going to sell it because I like it that much. Maybe you have no aspirations of being a DJ either and so I would heartily recommend the Pioneer DDJ-SB2 to get started with. I have been using Virtual DJ 8 with the controller for which I also paid 99 dollars. So, keep that in mind that you won't get software with this controller. Some will say you get Serato but that is for a much limited version which you can only use for 10 minutes at a time. If you want to do any DJ'ing you're going to need better software.

This is quite a good DJ controller. Easy to use and quite a lot of new features compared to what I started out with (Numark Party Mix). It even comes with Serato Intro. Serato is a hella of lot better than Virtual DJ in my opinion. More professional appearance, better features, easier to use, and very compatible with many controllers. I'm not planning to go all pro and all, so this one is perfect! Still get chills listening to my own recorded trance sets!
