It's made with the same quality as other players out there. So in my opinion it's good.
Features

The best features of this product are the larger display screen with 3 lines of info. Better pitch control. And of course the new new Rekordbox Software.

1. This product is very easy to use.
2. Clean layout
3. No learning curve at all b/c I use to have the CDJ800's.
4. This is a solid product. And you will know that when you test the ani-skip function. Superb for gigs with lots of rumble from the sound system or people dancing and causing the decks to shake.
Sound
How is the tone?
Solid Sound.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
This is a good product however I am disapointed that Pioneer didnt give this model the "Quantized Looping On The Fly" function. You have to set up your loops via Rekordbox prior to a gig to have quantized loops.
Value
Was this item an overall good value?
The value of this product is excellent. If you want to have the comfort of the standard design in todays clubs/gigs you will encounter, there simply isnt anything better.
