Thoughts on the Pioneer CDJ-350 & DJM-350

I would like some opinion’s here if this combo is any good.

2

I can get this whole set brand new for 500 $ just wondering if it’s good quality?

3

the whole set? 2 cdjs and mixer? Even though the its not the best thats a good deal imo.

4

Yeah i can get both cdj’s and the mixer for $500 does the mixer have good sound quality?

5

I think i might just buy the whole set and get a different mixer i dont like the djm 350.

6

Mixers ok. it doesn’t have hook up to trs or xlr, so its not gonna hook up to big systems. The sound is alright, not huge, but its a decent mixer. For the price you can beat that though. THe CDJ jogs are kinda crappy but the usb drive is huge.

7

if you can get djm and cdjs 350 all for $500 new, do it. that seems too good to be true though so be careful

8

Dont worry lol this deal is legit. Are these jogs decent for scratching?

9

I was thinking since the mixer doesn’t have trs or xlr could i just use a adapter?

I would imagine that the jog wheels wouldn’t be ideal for scratching, but then the ideal for scratching would be a good DVS anyway.

I had the CDJ 350’s. I bought them as I had taken an 8 year gap from DJ-ing, and decided I didn’t want to spend £3k on the CDJ 2000’s and then not get back into it.

They are a decent enough beginner deck. They lasted me a few months before I realised I wanted something a little better. I sold them on after a year, and didn’t loose too much money on them, so all good.

But then again, I do have some skills, and am not a beginner, so I grew out of them quick. If you are just starting out, they will do the job nicely, and get you into it well, and should easily last you a few years before you need to upgrade.

I paired my CDJ’s with a DJM 800 for that year too. Which has now been upgraded, and using Traktor DVS with my 1210’s until Pioneer release specs on the CDJ 900 Nexus, then I will decide between them and the 2000 Nexus.

For $500 that is FAR too cheap. I suspect they are stolen at that price. I made substantially more than that selling my CDJ’s alone, and they were a year old.

I use a pair of CDJ 350s at home to practice, while using whatever set up is available at a club when I’m booked. Since I do most of my work with a mixer, I’m curious as to what you feel are major differences between “beginner” and “advanced” CDJs. Just fishing for a reason to upgrade. :smiley:

12

Well, it’s mostly the platter

The club in my hometown has 1000s and they felt kinda weird after playing on 200s and 100s, but it’s not hard to adapt.

13

I think im just gonna get the cdj 350 to practice on.

14

I need to learn to mix on Cdj’s

15

This is a ridiculous question lol is it possible hook up a ddj to a mixer.

16

CDJ mixer?

17

Yeah to a mixer i was thinking of some crazy combo with 2 cdj’s and a ddj.

18

Good deal, but the last time I saw the CDJ-350s in person I thought they felt really cheap and toy like. I cant comment on their reliability though.

19

The only thing good for scratching is vinyl or digi-vinyl. don’t even bother with a platter that doesn’t spin.

As far as the DDJ’s you would have to get the Sx4 or the T1 (dont quote me this is a guess because they are 4ch mixers). If you plan on doing that I wouldn’t even bother with the CDJ’s unless you plan on mixing 4 tracks regularly, which as a beginner would be way over your head. Plus the DDJ’s are not cheap and are really intended to be all in one controllers

Looks like i’ll be getting the ddj sx and selling my cdj 350’s
