    Default Are the cdj 900s worth buying?

    Hey all, i've been using numark's ndx 400 and 200's for about 4 years and now its time to upgrade. Should i go for the cdj 900s? are they still worth buying? Found a pair for around 1200$, used ones.

    thank you

    Yep they are not nxs, can u tell me why u dont prefer the regular 900s atm?

    my budget is 1300$ max, so basically i can only get cdj 1000's mk3 or cdj 900s. the 2000 is around 1000$ a piece :/

    and i have never used any pioneer gear before so thats why i dont want to go for the 2000 straight away, can u please explain why the 900s aren't worth it? plus i rly like them

    P.s: new 900 nxs is around 1300$, so i cant rly go for it

    thats basically the only pair i can go for, i could go for 350's 400's 1000's and these. But thats it, i cant go for 900nxs atm or the 2000s. And i finally got some cash to bu these, kinda always wanted to

    If youre gonna get 900 base you might as well get 850's.

    Why? the 900s support advanced HID and rekordbox.

    I cant think of a single feature they dont have that I would need.

    Access to cue points (900NXS you can use the mem/recall button to access your rekordbox cue points), full color screen, better rekordbox to cdj library access, sorting, etc.

    Like I said, nothing that Id ever need. If I wanted to stare at a screen id be using a laptop.

    If you can save $1200, I would recommend saving a couple hundred more and getting a new pair of XDJ-700's. More features for pretty much the same price.
