**Cheap CDJ’s with a USB option** Was going to pick up 2x CDJ-200’s, but I see they don’t have a USB option, and I am not really keen on using CD’s all the time. So do you guys know any cheap, $100-$300 New/Used CDJ’s with a USB option, and or also Ethernet ability. Thanks! ---

The only ones I know of in that price bracket are the Numark NDXes, which are RIDICULOUSLY plasticky (and rattly), and the Reloop RMP-1. Neither offer MIDI support though, just USB mass storage. ---

What. No. They’re like 350 at most. You can buy used ones for 200-250. There’s nothing else that compares to the Stantons in the US. Reloop isn’t sold here. ---

Ya Those looks pretty good, I was actually checking those out a few weeks back. Really like the black and red aesthetics too. For the price these would be really good… Seeing them for about $250 used, and if I take something into guitar center, and sell it, I can put even more money towards these CDJ’s. A buddy of mine has some Stanton turntables, and uses timecode to mix, and they seem a pretty good brand. So for about $400-$500 these seem like a decent deal. All I do atm, is 2 channel mix, but if I do eventually 4 channel mix, it’s not like I am blowing my wallet on CDJ 900’s or something. I might have to get an accountant job, like my other buddy, he has 4x CDJ 900’s, and a DJM-800 🙂. I’ll look around for a mixer now, but I think I’ll get these CMP800’s, cause I am already saving around that much anyways. Have you guys ever looked at? or had experience, with the Behringer Mixers?, preferably, the DJX750?, I saw one a while back for $40-$60 on Craigslist used, and I thought about picking it up. Behringer seems like a pretty okay brand. I use MS20’s to mix on for producing, and everything sounds good. I do like the way the DDM 4000 looks. Call me crazy, but I guess, even though I am an audiophile, I like having my gear look good, even though, no one is going to care, when I am at shows ^^ If I am shelling out around $500 on CDJ’s, I am pretty sure I am can get a nice Mixer/Audio interface for around $300-$500 tops also. Thanks again guys! you guys are awesome! > [@johney](#): > > you could maybe score some used 400s, not sure about the ethernet thing tho I only cared about the Ethernet thing, if per se, I forgot one of my USB sticks at home, or lost it, and I only had one at a show, I could link the first CDJ, to the second one, and just use one USB stick, for both CDJ’s. Pioneer CDJ 400’s, seem to be about the same price as the Stantons used. I guess it comes down to whats features each one has/lacks, or what I am looking for in them. I’ll have to compare features, but as long as it has a Jog wheel, USB, Cue, Play, and a Tempo fader, I am not that picky, on what else it has. Just the typical CDJ setup. ---

You shouldn’t need an interface if you have CDJs surely? A quick search on this forum should tell you everything you need to know about the DJX mixers. ---

Ah yes, my bad, I totally forgot, CDJ’s are soundcards in them selves. And if I wanted to, I could still use Traktor to DJ with the CDJ’s… Thanks bro! I’ll do a quick search ^^ ---

You can pick up a Denon X1500 which is a nice little mixer. Effects aren’t too shabby. Behringer DDM4000 is another nice budget mixer to consider as well, but IMO, more suited towards external mixing in Traktor as it’s midi mappable. If you push your budget a little bit, you can buy the Denon X1600 for around 600-700. ---

X1500 range from like 300-500 depending on condition and then X1600 500-750 depending on quality. ---

Ya that should work… a nice little 2 channel setup with 2x CMP 800’s, and a X1500 would be nice… Beats the current controller I have at the moment. All I need to do now, is get a flight case, and I am set ^^ [Next page](https://forum.djtechtools.com/t/cheap-cdjs-with-a-usb-option/58965.md?page=2)
