    What I pushed the purchase of 850, is the price. If I had had the budget, I probably would have tourn towards 900. But although the screen is tilted all beauty and two three options intressantes team this model, the diff ence between the two do not got a rationalized my cart price also lev. 850 rpondant my expectations perfectly, I do not regret my purchase. It really is the ideal compromise all that is this price level. It is just as perfect as are the 900 and 2000, even if it does not play in the same way.

    2 years of use, after the royal cdj 400 is for display, jog accuracy, ergonomics, and I use it with hard drives in rekordbox. I do not have that choice since I saw the nexus 900 for display and the link.

    I use them for a little over two years
    Before I had the cdj 800 cdj I tested the 900 and 1000.
    Plus, it has everything a large, easy to take a hand, reliable, no gimmicks.
    value for money is correct, it remains pioneer.
    It was for me the mixer.
    Least, it does not turn into cdj 2000!
    Loops was not very perfect before the update.
    The official mapping for traktor is moldy.
    With experience, Pioneer remains a reference for cd players,
    I do not regret my purchase!

    -How long have you use it?

    Since more than a month.

    -Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    yes ndx 400 cdj 1000 mk3 cdj 2000 cdj 2000 cdj 900 nexus nexus.

    -What is the particular feature you like best and least?

    Most: the buttons are well spaced with good size that leaves room for some functions, there is no risk of pressing the wrong button. It is easy to use, cars-loops are perfect, there is a proper screen and resembles screens cdj 900 cdj 2000 to 2000 nexus. Jog is 206 mm, the same size as the cdj professional range.

    Cons: it not lack a lot of things for a product at this price. What is unfortunate is that the songs are a bit long to load. As I mix with rekordbook, you can not have the pitch by + / - 100% on the other hand can have it in cd.

    -How would you rate the quality / price?

    a mid-range Pioneer with a fair price, given the level of the deck. I think the price is affordable.

    -With experience, you do again this choice?

    Yes, because it is a product that provides opportunities to mix at a good level.

    I for 1 year.
    Before I used CDJ200, 850 are therefore multi player set preparation more efficient thanks to rekordbox. Tag useful function. Loops good even if perfection does not exist.
    Goodies: Jog precise, accurate vinyl mode, wide choice of auto loop function tag useful, good navigation in playlists.
    Cons: unreadable screen outside if sunny, missing RJ45 plug for sync.
    Value for money interesting even though we know that Pioneer is the market leader.
    I remake that choice but I'll take the CDJ900 can be for one or two additional functions.

    Acquired a year ago, I use one about once a week.
    I had CDJ 100S, CDJ 200, and 400.
    We find good features "Pioneer" common to other plates that mark.
    It's a bit expensive, but I do it again this NIOHC no problem, because they seem indestructible!
    I also mixed on the 900 and 2000, and frankly, the difference in use does not justify the price difference.
    I also recommend for those who have less budget, CDJ 350 which are extras.

    Platinum affordable value with the same base report that the CDJ 900 or 2000 without rj45 for link. But for the price, we are not disappointed. Very satisfied with my purchase. My silver plates are coupled with an Allen & Heath console area 62, which gives a very tablet without breaking the bank!

    disappointed!

    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    I practice this brand for almost ten years and never had any problems.
    why is it that ca kidding now, coincidentally 16 months after purchase (1 year warranty).
    In summary, the cd spend more, read the block has changed (280 eur hands works included).
    At the price I have to pay (new), I have a little cross.
    I do not recommend this product and wonder if I will not go in the competition.
    I may be too demanding, but anyway, do not push!

    What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    What I like the most is the opportunity to enjoy the multi (CD, MP3, PC).
    The Rekord box compatibility
    That the JOG is the same size as the range of 900 and 2000 CDJ

    What I like least is the wave form in CD mode which is (almost) non-existent.
    The analysis is too long to be usable

    How would you rate the quality / price?
    If the mode slip and link function are not a priority is to have the plate.
    For the price, it is excellent.

    cheaper than the 900 but same abilities

    Pioneer CDJ-850Published on 10/06/12 at 21:49
    The CDJ 850 is one of the best and most affordable solutions to having a CDJ set up. It is made by Pioneer and for years they have been making these CDJ units and they are very well built and constructed. The CDJ 850 is one of the cheaper ones when it comes to price, not cheap in quality. For less than a 1 grand, the CDJ 850 almost has the same features as the 900 models except the 900 models cost a lot more.

    The CDJ 850 has top of the line mixing features and an unprecedented sound quality. You can pull all of your files and music from CD’s USB drives or external hard drives, and it plays WAV, AAC, AIFF and almost any other type of audio file that is used. Keep your computer at home wi…

For less than a 1 grand, the CDJ 850 almost has the same features as the 900 models except the 900 models cost a lot more.

    The CDJ 850 has top of the line mixing features and an unprecedented sound quality. You can pull all of your files and music from CD’s USB drives or external hard drives, and it plays WAV, AAC, AIFF and almost any other type of audio file that is used. Keep your computer at home with the CDJ 850 like you do with the 950 because all of your stuff can just be on USB drives. So what is really the difference between the 850 and the 900 besides the price. Well for starters I think the 900 has a better build to it, and a more stylish design. In my opinion that is the main thing that is the difference with the two. The CDJ 850 seems to be more for a DJ that is a beginner or with a smaller budget to work with and needs a CDJ device.

    The CDJ 850 comes with a DJ management software called Rekordbox, its not the best software for DJ management but its pretty darn good for it to be free with the CDJ 850.
    The face of the CDJ 850 is made so that the DJ has the quickest control and access to the music files. And with the WAV running across the screen you will have the proper visuals you need to be able to mix properly as well as have the artist name, and BPM of the song right there in front of you. The CDJ 850 is a low priced machine with everything a DJ needs. It would be my first unit if I was just starting out.

    Hello,
    Very good stuff,
    For cons, I have a colleague who bought in November 2011, and she just fell down .. after 15-20 evenings.
    After making a loop, the button was left on, no way out of this loop .. good .. he turned off and restarted it ... remarchait again.
    And then a few days later extinction of the plate ..
    Right now she is in Paris for repair ..
    I'll let you know ..
