Owner Insights

Software and compatibility

  • It's reported that the XDJ-RX runs smoothly with the latest Rekordbox versions when exporting to USB, despite its age.

    Source
  • The XDJ-RX does not display all Rekordbox memory cue points or custom colors, leading some users to resort to HID mode.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The unit is frequently used as a standalone device for practice and small events, minimizing the need for computer integration.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Compared to the Denon Prime 2, the XDJ-RX feels outdated and sluggish, with noticeable differences in response time.

    Source
  • The RX3 is lighter than the XZ, approximately 20 pounds versus 30 pounds, which may appeal to users needing portability.

    Source

Build quality

  • Even after significant use, including exposure to harsh environments like Burning Man, the XDJ-RX remains functional, although some buttons may become slightly less responsive.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • The XDJ-RX is considered a worthwhile purchase if acquired at a bargain price, with past used sales around £850.

    Source

Features and functionality

    Source
  • The RX3 features a large touchscreen, making it easier for visual users, but requires careful transport due to its extension.

    Source
  • Only the RX2 and RX3 models support RGB display aligned with Rekordbox's colors, a consideration for visual performers.

Critic Reviews

FIRST LOOK: 60 minutes with the Pioneer XDJ-RX – DJWORX

djworx.com

Pioneer's XDJ-RX impresses with its standalone functionality, offering a refreshing break from dependency on external software. While lacking certain modern comforts like rubber performance pads and a touch screen, it compensates with a familiar CDJ/DJM workflow and excellent jog wheels. The non-touch screen could use a higher frame rate, but its logical layout serves its purpose. Effects are limited but practical, and the construction is lightweight with a robust feel. Despite minor quirks, such as persistent effect lights, the XDJ-RX provides a focused, engaging DJ experience, making it a solid choice for those seeking autonomy from laptops.

Pioneer XDJ RX Review

djtechdirect.com

The Pioneer XDJ-RX is hailed as a versatile powerhouse, ideal for DJs at any level. Its all-in-one design mimics the CDJ Nexus experience without the hefty price tag, making it accessible for aspiring club DJs. The ability to record mixes directly to USB, along with seamless integration with Rekordbox, are standout features. Though not a full club replacement, it offers a taste of professional DJ setups. Minor gripes aside, it’s a stellar choice for those seeking functionality and affordability, garnering an enthusiastic 10 out of 10 from the reviewer.

Useful!!

First of all a controller is nothing nothing like a pair of CDjs and a mixer but I must say this is a good piece of equipment. The best feature about this product is that there is no need for a laptop to mix live (of course you have to import your tracks into rekordbox then your USB beforehand but once you've done that you're ready to go!) Most clubs already provide the equipment but once in while when there is a house party or there is a venue that doesn't provide the equipment this comes in handy, it is accurate, easy to understand and most of all easy to set up. It will save you a lot of hassle!!

Perks of This Controller! from a; RX user.

The XDJ-RX allows you to simultaneously play back and record tracks thanks to the dual USB ports. On top, two USB soundcards let you record your performances directly to a USB device to review them later.

The integrated use of the Rekordbox software, allows me to simultaneously stream tracks from the 2 USB slots. But also use the controllers built in wifi to stream another 2 iOs products with the Rekordbox software.

Great piece of kit I use at home and on the road!
