All user reviews for the Pioneer CDJ-800 MK2

I use it for 3 years in a bar where I mix

I like the simplicity and robustness, the jog niquel, the fact that we can keep the CUE button and press play to start the song! it can avoid mistakes on my MK1 800 this function does not exist and if we used it to mix like we were in the shit! You press play or not, when the finger touches the cue was removed the song stopped!

I do not like the CD jumping all the time! Much more than the MK1! CD stops in the middle when it takes him, I thought the plate was defective but apparently I'm not the only one having this problem on AF.

Then I've never used the MP3 function, for me this is a format to flee, but I admit that mix a whole evening with only 4 or 5 CD it must be nice!

How long have you use it? 4 months

Have you tried many other models before buying it? Denon DNS 3500 and CDJ 2000

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
the +: cue buttons and very reactive play, jog, automatic loops.
The -: Only 2 percent for keyed (6% and 100%), there is no song titles so require of them written on a piece of paper or ear to know what you're playing.
It lacks a USB port

How would you rate the quality / price? This is a good deck, but it is more suitable for beginners because I find it too simple for me, if the deck is reliable and worth the money (1400 €)

With experience, you do again this choice? I ... did not buy it, I tested a pair of 800 Mk2 in a few evenings and it is not a deck that I buy too easy to use and missing some stuff (USB port, Title Display ...) However, it will agree to beginners who want more reliable pioneer and low prices.

- How long have you use it? One day I too had the time to go around!

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

Let's start with the least, we must say ke I never try these cd turntables on the advice of some people on the forum (thank you) that my choice is the port on the first contact I 800MK2 deu struts by the plastic shell (fisher price) I m waiting for a slightly more rigid aluminum for the price (800 euros) but good detail and I spend the day sending a cd OUAAAH! the first cd for stalling with my turntables Tecnik, Misr, and two songs left my kiki aprsc guigamp forward, I was looking for a good touch vinyl mind I found the timing is perfect trs pr cis and faster that with a Tecnik 'brief TOP !!!!! For the rest a little tampered g (loops, cue etc ...) but I'm still not go into too much detail, the quality of the material is ac appointment is on (Pioneer)! The perfect no waiting mp3 quick search c kool! For the rest I prfere not speak enough acquainted with the beast!

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No no I got a notice with the people on the forum PLEASE!

How do you report qualitprix?
Good but not better (P. .... of plastic shell)
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes I have long hsiter with a big sister but my stop price, for the same price I got a mk2 and 800 cells sick more then one box! Especially since I do not need thousands of functions there to save my points on cue cards, the 800 mk2 well enough for me! M fuck what the most is that I'll have to buy another is a drug! Hihihihihi! Ciao, go to the dance floor!

- How long have you use it?
I use it for 3 weeks. Before that I had two early versions CDJ 800

- What is so special that you like most and least?
For me the improvement of Jog and the rigidity of the pitch are just great! One has the impression of playing on the 1000 MK2, I think it was the intention. Time to get my second 800 MK2, I had a 800 on loan. The Jog really has nothing to do, it's really very different. The 800 MK2 finally acquire the precision that made him much needed!

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Before buying my first CDJ 800, I had a CDJ 100 S, then the 200 ... Nothing to do with a 800 and even less with the 800 MK2. This new player is really excellent.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Of the range Pioneer, I think the CDJ 800 MK2 offer the best quality / price ratio because they are a real alternative to MK2 or MK3 1000.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Certainly .. Now a pure point of view mix / feel of the jog for me, no difference between 800 and 1000 MK2 MK2. The pitch is a bit worse than the 1000 MK2, but the accuracy is sufficient to catch up properly.

Overall, I advise all those who need to play with Accuracy and reliability, but do not let go for 1300 euros to a 1000 MK3 ...

How long have you use it?

2 days ... I reu this Friday! fesait was a while since I was waiting there ...

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
What I like most? ... Deu.C everything that is really a pure merveille.Elle does everything and not half
What made me a little scrap to beginners is the jog.Je imagined less "plastic" as a. .. but hey I got quickly got used!

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I bought this plate rputation.Avant I had a denon 2600 and pioneer of the cdj100 ... I am the short pass much, much bigger!

- How do you report qualitprix?
Is not to say the price is lev ... Lev TOO! The diffrence in price between 800 and 800MK2 is justified certainly not ... but ... good thing they are beautiful ... vrment any aspect fisher price ... except may be the first to feel the touch jog.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
In fact I wanted to beginners in 1000 ... money worries I pulled over 800 ... NO regrets! These are Partin vrment a drug! It vrment vrment of hardware professional.

I use them for a week, but happiness.
I mixais on gemini indeed ... big change!
Scratch perfect, really accurate, no décallage ...
Online Beverage adjustable to + or-100% master tempo ... a must ...
In short the positives are many, you will find them all in his description ...

Regarding the negatives:
Reduction in the speed range + or-16% in mp3 mode, and increased time to start (though short)
Can not go to a cue point recorded on the plate seamless (the cd is put in pause cue selected) or I've still not found n ...

I would add some effects to him, and also three buttons on cue with instant feedback and would be perfect.
Well I quibble, it's still the benchmark, as undisputed, the must.
This choice I would do without hesitation.

What is so special that you like most and least?
most: it is intangible, indescribable.
minimum: a tap tempo, CA shall have been cool for auto beat loop
Have you tried many other models before buying it?
we can say yes, enough to judge, as well as in noisy rooms quietly in quiet areas (numark cdx, Denon DN-S5000, Pioneer CDJ 1000MK3, SL-DZ1200 Tehnic)
How would you rate the quality / price?
bin fact, very good, because I prefer to cdj1000mk3! is not the same beast of c, but the cdj800mk2 is sooooo close!
With experience, you do again this choice? ...
lol, DJM800 + efx1000 in preparation, and standard CD, so I will continue with them if the gear
remains in that capacity, which should not change!

Other (copy / paste forum):

Well I have since yesterday, I sell my stuff so I too had the tps to try them but qqs minutes I spent with (well, one can count in hours), but then have been very very amazing!
I'm no pioneer, I sooooo rarely mix on the cd pioneer, but the head slap ds!
Well I will give two negative points:
1) I was used to stutter (or given to the cue hot cue without jumping, as a loop, in support of play or reloop) in numark, but I think I'll get used!
2) I have not seen a manual bpm, ca the blow when well arranged mix ke jungle and the bpm is distorted for self-loop! well I potash the doc, but I think not.
Possitive points: puffff! too.
Audio quality with no competitor (or Analogik Numérik).
Pitch really too specific.
Jog puffff I can not say so ...!
Quick return: well done Pioneer!
self loop with time adjustable on the fly ... aie aie aie, in the same idea, I expect my efx 1000.
very good visibility, almost same as cdj1000mk2/mk3
No really, I stand behind my DJM800 + efx1000 not budget for, but people will not have the budget ki like me and want the same as ki cdj1000mk2/mk3 darken the cdj800mk2.
For me (and I was really careful not pioneer) Pioneer viva, Khan was the means.

Finally, since 10/10, I really found a feeling that I had never known a ease. for those who want video on cdj800mk2 www.djleo.org

- How long have you use it?
about 2 months

- What is so special that you like most and least?
the most solid, fast, beautiful, egg tray
the least: when you loose the loop when she leaves or had begun, contrary to the echo loop when the denon when you release the loop from the AC or music would have been without the loop, after that depends on the utility you have loops.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I just tried the denon dns 1000 which has nothing to do full square. about 1000 times less well

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Expensive if you buy it in France, so yes, dear. (In the U.S. it costs almost two times cheaper.)

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
yes, yes.

- How long have you use it?
1 month
- What is so special that you like most and least?
Likesrecise jog
Precision-buttons Cue Start / Stop
Pioneer-quality
-The auto beat loop. It is well to hold all the shots
Memory, cue points and loop
I like least: not super-accurate pitch (it moves slightly from left to right)
It just plastoc design. I prefer that of the CDJ-200 or DN-S3500
-The possibility of reducing up to 1 / 64 the loop ... we would have liked the Hot Cue
In short, the three negatives n'enlèvent a final point to note because they are small.
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No, only the Axis 9. Jog button plastoc not terrible. The onboard effects are not bad.
- How would you rate the quality / price?
to € 540 (recupel included) the plate, I considered good enough: p
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes without hesitation. The choice in this price is always the CDJ-800mkII or DN-S3500. The big difference is the effect on the accuracy of denon and jog on the pioneer. I use too often jog (although I do not scratch) and I will buy a mixing desk with built-in effects so the lack will soon be filled.

I will not speak of the quality of the product. I think everything has been said.
It is clear that it is not wrong by buying 800MK2.
I am a beginner, but nevertheless I could test the CDJ-200 and Vestax CDX-05 for 2 weeks and indeed the CDJ-800MK2 stands out quite clearly.

I just bounce off a black dot (redundant on all Pioneer DJ Products): The price. Ok so everyone says "Pioneer is normal, it's expensive but the price of quality." I'm sorry but this argument is not acceptable! Pioneer Car is expensive FRANCE (or Europe).
I bought my two turntables in the U.S. for $ 620 each ($ 588 without tax). If we convert the price in France in $, it is close to 2 times that. The product is the same, quality is the same. Here again Pioneer has overall more expensive than other brands but the difference is not as severe as in France. In addition to the huge gap RELATED tax Francaise, France Pioneer does not add a little bit in the balance?

However the product is great. I just had quiquonque council to find a way to buy abroad has his turntables. With the Internet, it's getting easier and easier.

So: 9 for the product, 9 for the price the United States, two for the price in France.
So I have put a double note:
CDJ-800MK2 in France: 5
CDJ-800MK2 United States: 9
(If we forget the price: around 9 ... And when I more control plate, probably 9.5)
