Okay I know I am years behind on this but finally decided to take the plunge from 1210's to cdjs.

The Pioneer CDJ400 looks smart and a bit more within budget and I like the look of the external storage device use. I also use a DJM400 mixer so these could be ideal. Anyone used these, how do they compare to the more upmarket pioneers?

Heard the 800's can be difficult and the jog wheel aint up to much, is there a huge difference with these and the 1000's?

Or just push the credit limit to the max with 1000's, if so mk2 or mk3's?

Any help and advice would be much appreciated. Cheers

The obvious answer is get the 1000s.


Heard rave reviews about the 400s though.

Try before you buy though.

If you can get hold of the Mk2 1000's... winner.

I personally like the 800 mk2's, the jog wheel is fine on it. The 400's do look a bit sexy for their price.

Thanks for the reply's, the 800 mk2's are looking favourite as my budget can't stretch to 1000's and the larger platter/jog wheel appeals more to me.

Thanks again for your help

Save up a little bit more and get the 400's, its not worth getting the 800's tbh, they are gash. All u will want to do after the honey moon period of getting them is wish u had got the better ones. Bin there, done that, trust me

Have you used the 400's? You would deffo recomend them instead of the 800 mk2's?

Just ordered my 400s
