Review: Pioneer DJ CDJ-2000NXS2

Pioneer DJ's CDJ-2000NXS has been the industry standard player since it debuted in 2012. Now, four years later, they've released its successor, the CDJ-2000NXS2, along with the DJM-900NXS2 mixer. For the first of two reviews, Mojaxx looks at the CDJ's new features and determines if they're worth the hefty price tag.

for what they ask for, load times with 16 hot cues should load instantly. it should have a i7 in it 😊

top notch review!

Great review! Without HID mode for serato no option for me at the moment. And I'm really wondering about the sp1 implementation.

Just watched this after purchasing sc5000's, I don't play out. Apart from the pioneer "club standard" pish I hear from everyone I don't see how this does anything more than what I have, in fact it has less features. Seams to me that people buy the name first and then equipment second.

Great video/review. I completely agree with everything you said. I own a 4deck nexus set-up & recently picked up a pair of new Nexus along with the new DJM900 & the new decks are cool but I really do prefer my original nexus. The nexus 2 are slow as shit when loading & it's really annoying. The extra hot cues are cool but I use my original nexus's with my DDjSP1 so I already have 8 hot cues on all 4 decks. Everything on the new players are ok. I like the new search feature. Works great but as a whole. Nothing to write home about. The mixer on the other hand I really like. All the little improvements made to that are awesome. Especially in the effects section. I really like the mixer a lot & to me it's worth buying if your a pioneer junkie. It sounds better & is a great improvement. As for the new players I can barely tell the difference in sound. It's like I can but can't. lol. I don't know if I'm tricking myself when I say I hear the difference so I personally can't say for sure. Lol

Hi. Just wondering - based on the concerns mentioned in the video by the narrator - does anyone know if any of these have been fixed or changed in any released firmware updates since? Also are there any other existing issues with the current firmware? Thanks in advance

Not being SDJ supported is a HUGE deal breaker for me. Also that Cowboys jersey! I need to hook you up with a Steelers jersey!

[ellaskins]

hi, can you get in touch please, ellaskins, thanks

Great review, just too friggin' expensive, but that's obviously understandable. It's a great piece of hardware.

Great review! Some great new features there, I am a big fan of the hot cue function, but doesn't justify the astronomical price I'm afraid.

It's a honest review. I enjoy very much all of your work and it's helped me make intelligent decisions..Mojaxx is a beast!

Loved this breakdown… Do you feel the same way at this point… I am deciding whether to go with the used 2000s or used NX 2's… My friend keeps telling me that buying used and then having them tuned up by a pioneer specialist is the way to go… I have the 850's at this point…

Thank You Very Much Nice Review, I was waiting for some of the info that you explained....I got the system for a couple of weeks now and this really is going to help...I can't wait for the Mixer Review!!!

[paulhamacher]

Hi I'm new into DJing. 2:30 And i'm wondering what the fuck is going on with not only the waveform but especially with the phase meter? It's stuttering as fuck. How can that be usefull and even possible on a professional Device that costs >2000$? That's ridiculous. Am I overseeing something?

[DOZEMusic]

Just saying: The Nexus 2 series support Serato in HID mode since a few months ;)

[shanecostello]

Quick question folks, can you change the color on the cue & play/pause buttons??? Dont like the orange & the green colors!! TIA
