HerculesDJControl Starlight with LED Light HDP DJ45 Closed-Back, Over-Ear DJ Headphones Bundle

More than what I expected! I'm 61 (yes, 61) and use to DJ back in the day when I was in the military. I got tired of just listening to my music, I wanted to play with it! Bought this controller and I don't regret it. A big step up from my Gemini mixer back in the day. You can create loops, stutter, play FX's, cue, sync, and scratch! This little baby has a built in sound card to hook up your powered speakers and a headphone out jack to cue your songs. This thing keeps me busy and I'm learning a lot! Well worth the money!

This a great bundle for the price. I gave the headphones to my dad and he uses them all the time. The controller itself is very handy, the vynil scratch mode is very on point. Very light weight I’ve taken it on a bunch of road trips so it came in handy when friends wanted some fun I could dj on the spot for them. My only complaint is there’s no faders but I can deal with that because there’s volume nobs anyway and they added Bass Eq nobs which is very essential and other controllers of the same size don’t have the bass eq. Overall I’m rating it a 5 stars because for the price it’s the best quality out there, you can literally bring it anywhere and if you’re starting out and are on a budget you will learn well enough on this! Also it comes with serato light which a lot of other controllers don’t come with a program you have to buy it separate. If you expect to ever play a gig live most of the time they will have cdjs with serato on them so it’s great to start practicing with that program.

I bought this more as an experiment than anything. I wanted to see if I could perform even the most basic mixing transitions and effects before spending $250 or more on a performance worthy controller. I think of all of the pocket controllers, this is the best as far as which features it offers. You can't browse and load your files with it so you will be working with your computer in tandem, but even with the other pocket controller that does allow file browsing, you still use it with your computer close at hand so, no loss. What this controller does offer that the others lack in is the scratching ability. One button and you are in vinyl mode and able to scratch. The high/low pass filter is nice as a starter and you also have the ability to adjust the bass for each channel. Basic effects, samples, looping... It does the very basic functions and "tricks" DJs use. Just don't expect more than the very, VERY basics.This particular controller is really best suited to those with only the slight interest in mixing as a hobby or for kids as a way to see if they would be interested in DJ work. This works with Serato DJ Lite, which is entirely free and is a basic version of software heavily used by professional DJs. So if you are totally new to mixing and what DJs do, rest assured that at least the software is exactly what you might use as a pro DJ (Just minus a few features the pro version adds). I actually only had mine for 2 weeks before giving to my 10 year old grandson who loves EDM. He was THRILLED!My new controller is due any day so I guess you can tell that the experiment showed I both could do it and enjoyed doing it.

This worked well for about 6 months (only used it about 10 times) but then it simply stopped passing audio through (appears to work outside of that). I have been trying to open a case (their site can't seem to allow me to open a case online) or chat with someone (it gives some note that if someone is available the chat icon will appear, but it does not appear) - no email option. I can only post my frustrations here - happy to update this posting if someone helps me.

Me encanto el producto, fue un obsequio que la persona que lo recibió está agradecida.

My son loves this PROBLEM IS it’s not compatible with his ACER CHROMBOOK315 laptop.HELP PLEASE: CAN SOMEONE SUGGEST A INEXPENSIVE LAPTOP THATS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SERATO DJ LITE SOFTWARE?

I tested this as well as the numark and this one is a little larger but definitely better in my opinion. The knobs are larger and easier to use and there is a bass/filter knob, which the numark is missing. It also seems like this one has more options for headphone cue monitoring (i.e. can monitor the master by using the shift button).

I think this small DJ set up is really all anyone needs it’s portable you can pick it up and take it on the go all you’ll get some practice in at lunchtime something small that doesn’t take up a lot of room hooks up to iPads and Max or windows a good Buy.
