Nice, simple and practical
Practice
Pro
- small and powerful
Contra
- no rear outputs, Bluetooth only
Price/performance ok.
Generally good value, but the deck is relatively small and light (which is perhaps exactly what some people want).
Push buttons feel rather cheap, sliders, discs and knobs feel as they should.
Function with e.g. Rekordbox without any problems.Pro
- Beginner friendly
- Favourable
- Does what it should
Contra
- Too small (for me)
- Keys hard (feels a bit cheap)
Top for beginners
Wonderful for beginners, the only disadvantage is that you only have a USB connection and no Aux.

- Compact
- Simple
- Bluetooth top
Contra
- No Aux connection
Plays its role correctly, latency in CUE return
It does its job, but it's almost impossible to synchronise one piece of music with the other using headphones and the CUE function.
In fact, the device comes with a source splitter adapter that allows you to use headphones to mix in the 'conventional' way, but this adds a latency of over 30 ms, making manual synchronisation completely impossible. It's a shame.
The software also sometimes struggles to find correct and consistent BPMs. You'll need to check the sources and metadata of your sound files.
Pro
- Inexpensive
- Works quickly
- Free software
Contra
- CUE return latency
- Few connections
