HerculesDJControl Mix for Smartphone

Awesome mixer, fully rechargeable and works with both tablets, cellphones, and laptops. It sounds great very easy to use and well worth the money. I love the portability and the included y-cable for connecting to external speakers and headphones for monitoring. I used it for six hours on a single charge. Great back up tool for DJAY Pro users. Me personally I always bring an extra laptop or tablet/ipad as a backup.

This thing is solid !!! Wonderful little controler

For what it is, it's great. There's only so many DJ controllers in this compact form factor, the others being the DJ2GO2 and the Starlight. The latter is also made by Hercules, but the difference between that and the Mix is that the Mix is far easier to pair with a phone, thanks to the built-in Bluetooth functionality and their official collaboration with Algoriddim to bring Djay support to PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.If you want a truly wireless practice session, get yourself a foldable USB-C power bank (the ones where you attach your power bank to the USB-C port) and either Bluetooth earbuds or speakers. Attach the power bank to the controller, then connect it and your audio device to your phone over Bluetooth. I experienced no lag using the controller over Bluetooth, but there will be lag with your audio when using Bluetooth audio devices. It's not bad, but probably bad enough to make you not want to beatmatch. So if you're going with a wireless audio connection, stick with beat sync.Of course, part of the DJ experience is being able to monitor tracks ahead of time. And it's absolutely possible to do that with a headphone splitter, which is provided in the box. But you probably need a separate headphone adapter for your phone, likely with USB-C or Lightning. You connect the splitter to that, then you connect your wired headphones to one end of the splitter and your wired speakers in the other end. No, it isn't possible to do one wired device and the other one over Bluetooth. Obviously when you use wired, the audio latency problem goes away. The drawback is that it's now a bit of a wiring mess.With Djay, you can actually reprogram all the buttons, knobs, and sliders of the Mix to do different things. I mix EDM and personally wanted a bit more control during my transitions, so I changed my Master and Headphones knobs to change the High frequencies for Decks 1 and 2, respectively.While Djay has a subscription component to it, you do not need a subscription to use it with the controller. You may get nagged to subscribe from time to time, but you can have proper DJ sessions without it.Overall, this is really, really good if you were primarily looking to DJ on the go. I don't recommend this as your first DJ controller because you're going to grow out of it really fast, and it's missing some rather useful buttons and knobs that you'll find in the controllers in the next size up. Instead, get yourself a DDJ-FLX4 or a used DDJ-400 for your first one, then consider the DJControl Mix if you want something much easier to carry around while traveling.

Excellent quality product, sound quality is good, buy a speaker for this and it is really sharp, I'm a starting DJ I would recommend using this mixer for starting out

Excelente producto! El mejor mixer portable y versátil!

The media could not be loaded. I like carrying this in my backpack with my iPad so I can DJ any place on the spot, I also carry a JBL Bluetooth speaker with me so I'm ready to DJ no matter where I go it is simple to use and connect. This one connects to iOS devices such as iPhone and iPad through the Bluetooth. It also has a USB connection on the side that plugs into a power source. You can use a USB adapter or a power bank portable battery charger. Fits nicely in a backpack and looks and sounds great it may not have all the bills and whistles of the bigger pioneer units, but it does almost the same thing minus the sound effects. It's great for blending and has sync buttons on it I use it with djay algorithm app on iPad and it is just seamless. I'm glad I made this purchase, and I am satisfied !

I rarely give bad reviews, but unfortunately, there is always a time.I thought this device would be pretty cool to mix with, however, connecting to it turned out to be a nightmare.I had to try multiple different phones (7 in total actually) before I found that my old Samsung Galaxy S20 could connect. None of he other 6 (all newer phones ranging from Samsung, Motorola, ZTE, RedMagic, etc...) could not actually connect to it. All were configured correctly for location, etc... the device is just incompatible with their Bluetooth version.The next issue is that this just feels cheap. Like a corner market toy or kind of the feel of a cheap water gun.After that comes the issue of it not having an internal battery. This would have been an easy addition and considering how overpriced this is, that could be a minimal thing to add to it.Lastly is it's integration with it's software which constantly falls out of alignment with the device.I'm assuming the manufacturer didn't really do any comprehensive compatibility testing and likely tried to produce this on the cheap and it shows.There is more wrong with it and/or areas it falls woefully short, but this likely says enough.

Item is quality good value for money. The ease of use does not align and work as expected we returned item.
