Many places (usually DJ phedophile type) label these players as entry level professional. You WILL think differently UNLESS you DJ in clubs! In my mind, these are professional players if you dont scratch, everything is there for you.
The build quality is excellent, solid robust, and use oil damping. Trust me oil damping shock makes a different, shake these things while theyre playing, they wont skip!
Auto cue and loop is excellent, plus manual in out and loop effects make this a really excellent machine for house breaks and playing your own mixes. To do a test, I auto looped 2 tracks both 128bp, synced using the BPP and tempo functions of the players, played both players through a mixer for 15 minutes, they never missed sync! very accurate BPM and tempo. And this was AUTO loop! imagine with manual, you have even more precision.
BPM is always an issue, due to its accuracy (some BPM counters are a gimmic, ie behringer VXM mixers! )however the BPM here performs very well, the players for the quality, are at an unbelievable price.
the MP3 function is great too, get 100 tracks on a cd instead of carrying your collection to a function, in 7 cd cases (like me!)
plus they fully read MP3 tags, what more do you want?
Wah, Jet, and zip effects are really nice, as is the addition of adjusting speed and key of a track
All round great players
Ive been a DJ for 17 years, seen everything come and go, theres no surprising these players are so popular!
awesome!

I have a pair of these units and they are great, if you wont be doing any scratching, this CDJ's have everything you need, they are sturdy and at the same time very stylish, i have been using them at clubs, bars and parties and have never had any problem with them, the only thing is that VBR mp3 have limited functions, apart from that, i would totally recommend them to any DJ, starting or professional, i have used them as long as 8 hours of continuous playtime and they perform flawlessly, plus arent as expensive as CDJ 800 or 1000.

This is a very easy to use player. I ordered 4 of them so I could have them as back up not understanding how good they work. I do not think I would ever need them as back up so in turn I sold them to a new DJ in town and he also loves them. The only bad thing is I needed them 220V and I could not find them.

Very fast arrival and the product was in order with my expectatives. Thanks to Amazon.com and the sailers
See yah on the next shop..Kind regards

Bought one a few years ago to play tracks that never made it to vinyl (or to play my own homemade tracks). As with most CDJ's, it takes a second to get use to it if you're coming from vinyl.

I've taken mine to a few gigs and it has survived, even survived drunken friends at the house. It's done so well that I finally bought a second one recently!

Pros:
Cheaper (and lighter!) than the 800 and the 1000 (or 2000 series). And being smaller, fits nicely into an existing setup with 2 or 3 turntables (and still reach everything fine). Being half black and half silver helps match most mixers and turntables (in the way of looks). The headphone jack on the back is nice so you don't have to turn on your ENTIRE system just to check out a few tracks real quick.

Cons:
No scratching. While the manuel says it does not play VBR, it does. However, the effects are not useable and you can not switch to "remaining time". So the main pain in the butt is making sure your tracks are NOT VBR before you burn them. Also, the 200 is more precise at the +/-6 range with .02 increments, but loses it @+/-10 and 16 with only .05 increments.

THe CDJ 200 is one of the best mixing turntables out there and its affordable..One of the features i like about the CDJ is the beat-loop where it keeps the BPM constant until you chanhe it..its good for changing music...i really recommend this item to everyone who wants to DJ.

i bought 2 of these and one broke down mid session . after a total of 48 hours of use. so if you think that is ok then go buy one
if like me you are appaled then stay away .
