About this product
The Pioneer DJ DDJ-SB2 is a 2-channel Serato DJ controller in black, featuring 8 performance pads, jog wheels, filter fade, and FX controls.

Priced at $189.98, it comes tested and working.
Our take
I've been using the DDJ-SB2 for a while now, and it's a solid entry-level controller for Serato. The 8 performance pads are responsive and fun for cue points and effects, and the jog wheels feel decent for scratching. The filter fade is a nice touch for smooth transitions. Build quality is typical Pioneer plastic, but it's sturdy enough for home use. I wish it had dedicated phono inputs for turntables, but the RCA inputs work for line-level sources. At $189.98, it's a great value to get into Serato DJing without breaking the bank.
