Advantages: Build quality, built in effects, sound Disadvantages: Not enough decent effects, sound is not as good as other newer mixers
...I have owned my DJM-500 for over 4 years now, and it has lasted the test of time and the battering I have given it. Still perceived as the original ultimate professional dj/club mixer, it has remained as popular as ever. Its build quality is superb, but I believe its sound is not as good as other newer alternatives.
I am now looking to buy a new mixer - so will I buy another of these or a similar Pioneer product? I think not. I believe the advantages of the Allen & Heath Xone series outweigh Pioneer's mixers. Even so, I will still have a place in my heart for the DJM-500 as it was my very first mixer. I highly recommend this mixer to anybody who is starting out and want a mixer which is built like a brick and sounds good....

Advantages: Great all round durability Disadvantages: None.
...How great is this mixer? ive had mine for about 6 years now, and unlike the pioneers range of cd players, this mixer has never somewhat 'gone out of fashion', ive seen it on many films and music videos, the features on the mixer are absolultley outstanding and work very well with other pionner products, i have it with 2 cdj1000 scratch dj cd players and the durablility is amazing, i would strongly reccommend this mixer to any sort of dj. The autobpm counter works very well, and (touch-wood) i havent had any problems with pionner, a very good amp to link your piooner decks to is a peavy-1000watt and a good pair of speakers, you cannot beat the sound! Adjusts on the mixer/effects are great for messing around with, and great for making mixing more fun!...

After years of being a satisfied owner of a humble & by now rather long-in-the-tooth BVL MQ-3200 DJ mixer - one of whose faders has just "karked-it" (possibly as a delayed result of "sharing" an involuntary beer - spilt some years ago!!) I decided to... more
Also called Pioneer Kuro. Kuro stands for black and each one of the plasmas within this range has been designed to deliver better black levels than any other flat TV on the market. You may be thinking why is the black so important? You are probably more... more
I had been without a DVD-RW drive for a few weeks since my last drive gave up. The first thing I noticed when looking for a new one was how cheap they are now. The last one I had I'd only paid £35 for thinking that was cheap, but now you can get them for more
