I used them more than 5 years and I had already purchased ocaz! Good stuff, simple, robust and ergonomic. But buying a 500 or even a nine 500s now would be like buying a brand new renault 14 left in stock while at the same price you could have a megane! Let's be serious, c'tait an excellent machine in its day but now the cdj 100 and best 200 in the bcp offers more for the same price! Otherwise it is nickel for beginners and low budget.
Damn new or Cdj 500 of OCCAZ? Choose the Pioneer without hsiter!
In fact a small ngatif point: It is sensitive to vibration and small bumps.
