Our take
The Roland DJ-505 is a serious piece of kit. Out of the box, it feels solid and the build quality is excellent, typical of Roland. Integration with Serato DJ is seamless, and I love the built-in drum machine effects that let me add beats on the fly. The pitch faders and jog wheels have a professional feel. However, the price is steep for a 2-channel controller, and the learning curve might be steep for beginners. Also, the USB audio interface provides clean sound, but you still need a separate mixer for multiple sources. For intermediate to advanced Serato users, it's a solid investment.
