134 reviews at 3.8/5, real backing for this entry-level Gemini player.
Random times unit stops in middle of playing. Other than that it is the best follow up to the no-longer made 3 Radius 1000 we have used the past 12 years that no longer can be repaired. A reliable Dennon for 1K would be stretching it.
✓ AmazonI've been a disc jockey for 50 years, and still use equipment that allows me to do a quality job, for the money and options the MDJ-600 has, I'm thankful and will continue to use them since I still play cds for all my events!
✓ Amazonworst falsely advertised dj player I've ever come across. Absolutely unusable piece of trash for DJing. can't ride pitch while mixing, the pitch fader's nature is too blocky, improperly engineered, unlike any pioneer from even 2002 with digital pitch or turntable with analogue pitch. just can't it. doesn't properly increase or decrease in a smooth manner, being blocky so can't ride mixes. unusable for beatmixing. hums noises when you turn platter, crashes constantly, plays random pops or skips, doesn't hold pitch. have to convert your whole library to its supported wav/aiff formats or it plays noise when you load the files. can't index usb drives with its own searchDB. crashes. can't properly do standard 16 beat loops even using its x2 loop expansion it skips and messes up loop boundaries. just a terrible, unusable piece of garbage. doesn't read most .WAVs. doesn't support .FLAC built horribly. drifts pitch -1/5 stars. I bought two in a rush without usability testing and then didn't touch them for a year and horribly regret my decision to do so. avoid like the plague.
