I feel that this machine has covered all the basics that I need. Many of the greatest DJ's have used the same Tech 12 analog players from day one and still use them until this day. I feel the same with my CDJ1000's. They will be here forever as is the Technics 1200's.
Sound
The sound quality is brilliant and very percise, no humming or static, great quality sound. I use these for DJing and putting vocals to instrumentals and the sound is still incredible. It is what you imagine from a studio pressed CD. When recording the playback is flawless.
Features
OK Dj's I am sorry that I have not proffesionally worked with my tech. 1200mk2, but because I started as a digital DJ, I would have to say the backspins and vinyl sounds are terrific. Cueing, large dial, looping (flawless), digital readout, all of this is easy to use. It is also very attractive, people that have never seen a digital turntable are absolutely amazed. It has no rotating platter, so people stare and wonder about how I get that vinyl sound from a CD player. I wish it had a sampler, and effects, then it would be a force to be reckoned with.
Quality
I have had mines now for almost 3 years, no problems yet. (Knock on wood).
Value
Definitely. It is and should be the standard for DJ's. I love the sound of my tech. mk2, but I can buy 1 billion CD's but vinyl is pricey and hard to find at times. It's worth every penny.
Manufacturer Support
Yes, I ordered a new crossfader for my DJM500 mixer. They had it to me in 3 days and answered every question. They were OK.
The Wow Factor
This is the next best thing to my family and GOD. I love my CDJ 1000's.

Pioneer CDJ-1000 mk2 CD Customer Review
A lot of challengers have come up with gimmicky pretenders. Don't be swayed by revolving platters etc. The 1000s are not trying just to emulate vinyl, they've improved upon many aspects of it while other companies are trying to hard to emulate vinyl with a warts-n-all approach. This is a CD player, not vinyl emulator and as that, its a damn good one.
Sound
crystal clear except with lossy formats
Features
Loop, master tempo and hot cue are great features but are basically standard across most players at this price. Could have benifitted from some extra pioneer effects.
Quality
Black plastic finish is nothing special but still looks the part. LEDs on Play/cue buttons are too bright. Very durable - as good on the move as they are stuck in a club.
Value
A great player and industry standard but still a bit pricey for some.
Manufacturer Support
Had one problem with a pioneer product in the past. They sent me a replacement within 1 week and were very friendly.
The Wow Factor
Requisite for any cutting edge DJ.

"GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT FEATURES, GREAT NAME, PIONEER CDJ BABY"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Okay people if you haven't gotten the point yet, its a great product, just buy it and you'll rave about it too.
Sound
The sound is good I guess, not necesarily the best sound you ever heard, but hey, its sound.
Features
This has a crapload of features. The loops the hoops, buy it today just for all the great things you can do with it.
Quality
I think of this as the industry standard for dj cd players. I mean you can scratch, loop, mark, cue and all that on this. The only difference between this and a turntable is size and features, the second of which this one kicks ass.
Value
Definitly worth the money and the wait. Just save up its worth it....
Manufacturer Support
You want support? go to www.the-dj-equipment-guide.com They have great tutorials on this particular product.
The Wow Factor
Definitly a genius cd player hands down. You dont even have to be a dj to have fun on this thing...

"Expensive, but probably the best overall cd player available...although it doesnt compare to a technics turntable."
Sound
Its a digital audio player. It cannot reproduce true sine / triangle waves (and to be fair no cd / mp3 player can) thus is flawed when compared to a vinyl turntable.
Features
Every 'feature' it has can be achieved with two vinyl turntables and an effects unit, the difference being using two vinyl records for looping (as an example) requires a great deal of skill, but pressing buttons on a cd player does not.
Ease of Use
almost too easy, anyone can be a 'DJ' with a pair of these. They cannot make you a GOOD dj though.
Quality
Pretty robust, but then again, it damm well should be for the price.

"The best thing since slice bread for the party DJ!"
Sound
Great Sound!
Features
I am a hip hop DJ. I do not need all the reverb/sample/etc. I need a reliable machine that gives me the real time scratch.
Ease of Use
Like I said before. I am a party style hip hop DJ. I can not get good help anymore, so I can not carry all my vynle around to gigs. Pioneer is a blessing. I was thinking of retirement from DJing until I purchased my CDJs. It is now the standard in clubs. some clubs try to take short cuts, but the other systems stink! Thanks, Pioneer.
Quality
Yes, I am having trouble with the lighted screen. It seems as if the plug is connected to the screen, so if i play with it the light would come on. The machine is still working well, so it is just the light.
Value
Price is way to high for a new DJ, which means more gigs for me. I think you need to pay for quality. I want Pioneer to be more accessable if they are going to charge so much!
Manufacturer Support
Never! My freind says once the scratch capability goes out, it will be hard to get the company to fix it, but if it last for over 4 or 5 years it is ok.
The Wow Factor
Come out with some crazy colors. At this point who cares, people see us using them. I use to only think black so that kids do not think I am cutting corners with my craft, but at this point who cares.
