Good Deal for the money!!!!!
By DJ Jay on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2013
I ordered this unit a few months ago as a backup player for a wedding I was DJ for. I used it mainly for the dinner music I loaded 2, 8 gig thumb drives and had my complete wedding set along with the party music and special dances. This unit works flawlessly and is is very easy to use. You can switch back and forth from single play to continuous from the touch of a button. Overall the buttons felt tight and the jog wheels feel real they spin easily but don't feel flimsy. The unit arrived a little sooner than expected which is always nice. I would highly recommend this unit as either your backup mixer or main mixer if you don't like using a pc or turntables. For a beginner DJ this unit is great. You can perfect the art of beat matching,fading and simple scratching with this unit.

A REAL REVIEW-- 1 STAR
By Koli on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2014
For some reason I had believed these 4 and 5 stars about this product was gonna be enough hype to actually make me spend my hard earned $$ on this #PYLE-PRO PDJ480UM.. hmmm..Where do i start? I wont provide enough time to explain after I have already spent my $$ and time and the only 1hr i gave it, I scuttled it, and searched it out --played with it, but then soon realized, its not really a "Pro" and its not worth 200.00 by far. Its worth abt 85.00 and should be sold and marketed to pre-schoolers. No..Im not happy, not impressed and the product i "thought" would be just like the reviews, and bought NEW(get to that in a second)failed from the moment i took it out the box. Yes.. it came with its little accessories like the wires(woohoo), but the faders do not work, the sound is horrid and on top of all that it wasnt NEW, and lucky me, I work and live in assembling electronics, and my PYLE-PRO PDJ480UM came to me USED--WOW--1st time for everyone though, ill be sending it back tomorrow in -10 degree weather and just to let you know how I knew it was REFURBISHED--The Screws Never Lie--They are warped as if its been reassembled more than 5 times and thats being light about it... 1 Star because they force me to rate it, I recommend virtual dj 25.00 software any day over this garbage, and maybe I could be wrong, maybe it was just who sold me the product is a reseller of Used Products and doesnt know it or just maybe their just lying for that top dollar>>> Inquiring Minds would love to know! So I will be Disputing the charge and sending back the product. Dont lie to increase sales and portray it as New when its not.. and i doubt your 8 or 7 left are NEW to. Not angry just feel USED!!

Bought this unit used. Love buying used. Lock button for Microphone In was upside down, had to pull it out with pliers and bend the metal straight. Put it right side up and it clicked right into place. It looks like someone pulled out mic without pushing lock button in and popped the button out. Other then that unit was brand new no scratches, face plates still had plastic cover, no sign of it being used. Great unit for a mobile DJ who doesn't want to lug around a laptop or a bunch of CD cases. I have not been disappointed. Unit is light weight. USB reads up to 16gb and SD card reads up to 4gb. Easily switchable to RCA input if you want to use computer DJ software or even play music from your laptop. I gave the unit 4 stars because when searching for music, it sorts the ID3 tags by album name only. You cannot sort by artist or track title. Really confusing when you have a large collection of music on USB. I.e. Adding 200 songs from 200 different artist will result in you having to click the album name and then the one song that is stored in the folder. Everything else is flawless and the sounds from it is high quality.

Well built but poorly designed.

While affordable & compact, well-constructed and decent sounding, this unit has several serious shortcomings. Black-on-black labelling of knobs makes it almost impossible to read in dim settings. Headphone cue selector (probably the most used switch) is percariously located in between source selector switches (rarely ever used), inviting a major snafu to happen during a set. But the biggest issue is the terrible way that the unit deals with searching/sorting through MP3 files. Quasi-random, not-quite alphabetical, by-file name-only, and sequential numbering regardless of folder structure make it ridiculously difficult to organize playlists. Add to this no ability to search or sort, and only support for MS-DOS formatted media, and you've really handicapped an otherwise good unit that might be an affordable, stand-alone alternative to a laptop-based setup.

EXCELENTE
Pyle-pro PDJ480UM
By James - Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2016
I have been using mine for over two years now. Its two sided so you can switch to each side to play USB or SD. Inputs/Outputs are RCA .Located on top with switches that you can select it to pay an Aux in or Record player (turn table). Has 2 inputs for both sides with Ground. Has all the goodes. In puts on top with microphone on the bottom.(This is not good for rackmount install). Display gives information on track, plus song information and switch selected. It does not have a remote. Wish it had one. Its hard to read the back plate, it all in black. I like the blue display. Takes about 3 rackmount spaces. Plus space needed to install input cables on top and microphone on bottom. I wish the cables were in back like most others like it. Hope this helps.

Returned it back wasn't working properly
When mixing digital files it still makes you work for the mix which is why I enjoy this piece so much
By Amazon Customer - Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2016
I bought this mixer just to try mixing digital files and my vinyl. It's works very well after a bit of a learning curve. When mixing digital files it still makes you work for the mix which is why I enjoy this piece so much. I don't want the equipment doing the work for me. The only thing I wish it had was a cue/program mixing knob. That's the only reason for a 4 star and not 5.
