Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 vs Numark Party Mix II

The Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 is the better controller for anyone serious about learning to mix. It has full-size 111.6 mm jog wheels, 8 hot cues, a 16-slot sampler, and works with rekordbox, Serato, and djay on PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android. The Numark Party Mix II is smaller and lighter at 0.95 kg, with touch-sensitive jog wheels, 4 pads per deck, and a built-in beat-synced light show. Owners rate the Pioneer higher overall. The Numark wins on portability and fun; the Pioneer wins on feel, features, and room to grow.
