All user reviews for the Pioneer CDJ-800

- How long have you use it?
About 2 months.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
A scratch tearing, for ease and rapiditité Sampler slot, jogwheel extreme accuracy, look great (I own them in black), loops easy to create brilliant, exceptional accuracy of pitch ...
for less ben yen is not much from the fact that the loop slightly affects the tempo of the song but it's really not much to quibble!

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Jb Systems DJ5000, Pioneer CDJ 500S, numark.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Ben in my case I am lucky to have them paid not very expensive (€ 590 on one visioshop.fr) Very good value for money.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Without hesitation YES!!

- How long have you use it?
For 1 year with a friend, I got mine not long ago

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The most fun is the indicator of cue point in the middle, he can see his point with a precision demonic.
The vinyl mode also excellent, I started on vinyl and it's been a pleasure to launch his record as a turntable, while keeping the crown to pitch bender, we believe it almost ... At the same return the quick return is also excellent!
The precision of 0.05 is also apreciation, ca helps to extend the mix! on the other hand I prefer one mode to mode 10% 8% because of the sudden the pitch is really very very sensitive!
The buckles are nice but not really useful, they are perfect rarements! Better to edit yourself and rebalance loop in reloop ... and auto loop buttons become cutters ... nice but I prefer the hots carrment cue! But hey you can not have everything!

On the negative side is the crown that is too slight (compared to the CDJ 1000), who have been accustomed to mix with the 1000 will have strange sensations in pitch bend
Always on the crown, the intensity of the pitch bend does not depend only on the amplitude we use to move, it also depends on the speed at which it is done ... This is because enmerdant to catch a micro lag must be given pTis tweaks in next / back ... it's the only thing that really bothers me in this deck, but hey you get used to it.
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
CDJ800 (lol. ..), 1000, numark axis 8 / 9, no test denon ...

- How do you report qualitprix?
Abusive, Pioneer has a policy unreasonable prices, they remain static is simple. The output of the 800MK2 1000MK3 and did not reduce the price of older models (which itself had almost no moves ... but hey, another cot their stuff is of excellent quality is the standard club so ...

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Being given that I already mixais on this model before buying it, the question does not arise!

- How long have you use it?

I use it for 5 months

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

The particularity of this stage and no doubt the precision of the scratch: put on the pitch with 100% master tempo! She does not move a muscle, no bugs on the horizon; perfect, and the pitch is prcis (0.05%: mix well and long as they like)
The cotsdcevant: a single recordable cue point and indeed a first for the plastic used all over the plate, a little junk ca f (buttons, tray, foot Anyway some aluminum will not have Does not the luxury price surtou o the Beast lol) but nothing alarming!

For my part, after two weeks I had ramen in a pioneer stage, as it mettai over 20s found the track and once the latter found his props .. the saturated serious! So one week in customer service (3 year warranty so cushy lol) and here we go again like clockwork .. then biensur Pioneer do not make a perfect machine proof I had a breakdown ds The beginning lol but it does change my opinion on this pa article (the failure should occur while a device electro)

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I tried the Pioneer CDJ1000 MkII as well as, the good, without comment were black with the CDJ800 Kelka function and more!
I tried the Denon dns-3000 and the 5000 (like it is worth, the 5000 dot is the alpha track, shuffled to the fingers in a pa mix is ​​better) but otherwise I think cot Vs DENON PIONEER reliability are both from the trs good stuff .. diffnce is to do depending on the type of mix (to scratch: Denon and the mix: PIONEER) and j ' pa add that this is a coincidence that every club and every evening prstation electro (house techno trance tribal etc ...) are team of the Pioneer CDJ1000 locurence!

- How do you report qualitprix?

Oh here's the price in question Fache! Indeed, a turntable 600 for the rest of the ca cheap though, but when you love it does not count, and economy must always be veiled c lol
And when we toured the other brands while remaining within the same range of stuff .. you realize that Pioneer is certainly more above but when we toured the advice and testing pioneer: it becomes galemen account they are much audessus. then 1200 for 2 are correct!

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...

With the exprience I referrer that choice of course, but and yes there is a but, if j avai a bigger budget, j'hopterai CDJ 1000 MKII for that are just big sisters ... so CDJ800 if someone hsite between various product and Pioneer are included in the list .. more .. rflchissez not buy pioneer eyes closed! open even when the guy pay for the store, do not go over 1200 a customer! Thank you again later old man lol)

I used the CDJ800 for 6 months, excellent plate!
the buckles are really good when trs if we mix it all because they are unfortunately not perfect.
The pitch 10 / 100 allows you to make mind-blowing mixes and remains stable all the time, trs well to make long mix, and with the master tempo mix of songs you can pitch well without the shrill voices.
However, the master tempo is trs acclre performance when the song, but if you idle, the sound quickly becomes electronic (-5% means it gets dja mtallique). When I mix a song and as I slowed down -5% or more, I cut the master tempo.

As for the pitch, it is super stable, but not when prcis trs is -100 +%. Gnralement I hold the piece also prcisement as possible, then I refine the rglage with the other platinum (CDJ1000). I prfr that the pitch is less mportant (30 or 40%), or as the race of the cursor is more important.
Finally, the CDJ800 is a great deck, but I'm happy to have a CDJ1000 CDJ1000 avec.La can refine the timing of the pieces, and I do not think that having to mix 2 CDJ800 is the best choice, because of the difficulty of the pieces with the stalling pitch + -100%

Hello,
> I use the CDJ since eures + years. They are present ds ttes my sheets (versions to choose from the following budgets: CDJ1000 or 800).

> CD robust and reliable in the functions requested. The little sister of their envious CDJ1000 nothing. Ideal for mixing in excellent conditions, they offer all the guarantees if vs want to stay in budget - expensive than the 1000.

For those who mix across our small planet like me, this is a reference that is found in almost all providers.

> Since the advent of CD players-flat, I used the Pioneer. Not that I'm an aficionado of the brand, but by early next + "platinum reference" ds heads available data sheets.

> Good value for money, (quite rare pioneer !!!). This explains my final grade + high compared to the CDJ1000.

> Why change? Maybe for testing products from the competition. Always be his own opinion.

It's been two and a half years that I use a pair of these two marvels beyond a shadow of a problem.
I find them excellent for use as I do (ie evening between friends and personal pleasure).
Regarding the fact that it does not gre MP3, little interest being given to me that I would use it. I use rarely VINYL mode, but the little that I use, I have no problem under control. The handling is fast enough. I recently tested the CDJ 800 MK2 (her replacement) ... I stay on the MK1, MK2 Jog seems the hardest, and the MP3 function is, for me, unnecessary.
The CDJ 800 plates are excellent, and I would do without hsiter this choice, if I do it again.

hello,
I use them for 1 week

I already tried the CDJ-400 and I started with CDJ-100S

I like most is that the jog, the loops (auto or manual), ease of set everything falls under the hands is very very fast ... and simpas

I did not find at least for now ... can not be the mp3 playback but as I had CDJ-100S CD I have no mp3 ...

pretty good value for money as found nine Used prices start in the ... 700euro mine have cost 750 euro per pair with two Flyght box ... So rappot money very interresant although AC is therefore an investment for some ...

I put a score of 10 because everything I like ... they are very deadly and hérgonomiques effectiveness ... so impressive ...

big favorite ...

I used the CDJ800 for six months. It's an excellent deck!!
I like the auto-loop function.
The +10/+100 pitch setting allows you to create amazing mixes and is very reliable. Very convenient to make long mixes.
The master tempo function is very powerful when you increase the tempo. It doesn't sound so good when you decrease the tempo (the sound starts getting metallic already with only 5%). When I mix a track and decrease the tempo by 5% or more, I turn off the master tempo.

The pitch is very reliable but not very precise in +/-100% mode. I generally sync the track as precisely as possible, then I fine tune the other deck (CDJ1000).
Finally, the CDJ800 is an excellent deck, but I'm happy to also have a CDJ1000 to fine tune the track sync. I don't thing that having two CDJ800 is the best solution because of the inconvenience with pitch.
