Very reliable and just what I needed.
Sound
This is one of best low grade CDJ's out there for the money
Features
All the features you need cue, pitch (multi), a sampler and reads mp3's can't beat it.
Ease of Use
Very easy to use and simple doesn't have the multi card inputs and USB but very practical and simple.
Quality
Does what I need CD mixing use can't scratch with it so it's more for straight forward mixing and looping. Also one of the fastest loaders.
Value
Worth every penny or just get the 2000 if you can afford it.
Manufacturer Support
Pretty easy to deal with just going to cost you if you need repairs.
The Wow Factor
Straight forward no frills CDJ with the quality of Pioneer can't go wrong.

"Pricey but essential if you cant afford $600 or more."
Verified Customer

A great unit but only makes you wish you could afford the CDJ1000's or CDJ800's if not only for their features but their solid build.
Sound
Sound quality is excellent.
Features
It only has a few basic features but are executed extremely well.
Ease of Use
No explanation needed here.
Quality
Being a musician first & a DJ second I have to say the unit build seems "toyish". Actually, one of my units just stop working one day in Dec. and it's been at an authorized service center for about a month & 1/2(so far)! So it's been in the shop for a little over half the time I've owned it(an issue with main circuitboard that's on national backorder). DISCLAIMER: It wasn't bought from Zzounds (I know better for next time).
Value
The reason you would buy this instead of it's competitors is the 0.02% increments (within a +/- 6% range) & the mp3 compatibility. Nothing like bringing 2-3 cd's(50 songs each) loaded with mp3's to a gig. Mixing in 0.02 increments makes your mixes sound like butter! In my opinion, the price at $400 is pretty steep for what you get. I value it at about $325-$350.
The Wow Factor
This is unit is for a pro or semi pro home (and club in a pinch) use. Make sure you buy a coffin for it. Use these for practice and once you go into a club that has the big brother, you'll rock it!

"Very good for the money, if you can afford it and have something less, get it!"
By far the best player I've owned, I recomend it to everyone.
Sound
Great sound quality. Couldn't ask for more.
Features
Great for any dj who is just starting out, it is a very simple interface and it is packed with features. The pitch slider is very responsive and the so are the cue and play buttons. The effects are nice if you want to add a small personal touch to your mix. The disc text display mode is very helpful when trying to find a certian track within a cd, the folder search buttons are also very helpful with this. The jog wheel is very good for minor pitch changes and makes up for the lack of pitch bend buttons. Plus, it just looks all around sweet!
Ease of Use
Super easy to use once you learn what all the different buttons and features do.
Quality
This player is top of the line for it's price range. You can always expect the best from Pioneer.
Value
Great buy for the money. I spent the same amount on a different player of a different brand and I can now conclude that it was stupid of me to buy that other brand, I would have much rather have spent it on a CDJ-200.
Manufacturer Support
I have not yet needed to use support, and I hope I never will. From what I hear, Pioneer is very good at replying to support claims. The CDJ-200 also comes with a 1-year parts and labor warentee.

Quality

"This is so muchg better than the CDJ 100, nearly perfect"
as long as i don't use CD's and mp3's more or step my game up i will hold on to this machgine as long as it works.
Cannot imagoine spending twice as much for a CDJ 800 just for the Jog Wheel and a CDJ 1000 MK3, which is the desired Top Quality choice there just ain#t no way i will ever spend that much on a CD/mp3 Player unless i win the Lottery.
Sound
sound is digital clear , fat and loud - no problems with it whatsoever- might even be a 10, close to perfection
Features
astonsihing and you have so many possibilities, even more than with the DJM 400 alone, together you can remix on the spot samle, loop or wash your sound in effects without end.
Ease of Use
can be a bit too complicated to use if you just want playback. The Jog Wheel is what lets this CD Player down in comparism to the bIg Bucks Pioneer CD Players, doesn't feel like the real thing at all
Quality
everything works perfect , feels solid and looks great - luv the blue lights under the Jog Wheel
Value
For it's price this is a Top Produc, Compared with the CDJ 100 this si worlds apart.
Wasn't it for the Jog Wheel and the VBR incompatibilitie you could even use it in a Club or at Liv Shows- some even do it, astonishing
Manufacturer Support
no experience, never needed any repairs, not with my older Pioner CDJ 100
