About this product
The Roland DJ-808 is a DJ controller with a built-in TR drum machine, vocal effects, and four-channel mixer. This used unit from Japan includes box accessories and is tested. It features 16 pads, 24-bit/96kHz audio, and multiple inputs. Priced at $1,580.95, it's a premium controller for producing DJs.
Our take
Getting a tested unit from Japan is nice, but the price is steep for used gear. The DJ-808 itself is impressive—great sound quality, deep effects, and the drum machine is a blast. However, the layout can be overwhelming, and some knobs feel cheap. The vocal effects are a plus but not essential. For $1,580, I'd rather buy new or consider the XDJ-RX3. Only go for this if you specifically need Roland's drum integration.
