Our take on the Hercules DJControl Inpulse 200 Controller with Headphone

The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 200 is a two-deck beginner DJ controller with built-in sound card, touch-sensitive jog wheels and a headphone output. Its standout feature is the Inpulse assistant: beatmatch and tempo guidance lights show you which way to nudge a jog wheel, and the Intelligent Music Assistant suggests tracks that fit the current mix. It suits people learning to mix at home on a laptop. Against rivals like the Numark Party Mix and Pioneer DDJ-200, it has the better learning tools and a real headphone jack, but smaller controls and fewer inputs than step-up controllers.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers treat it as one of the best first controllers, mainly because the Inpulse coaching actually teaches beatmatching. Complaints center on the plasticky build and small controls, which feel limiting once skills improve.

What people mention
  • Learning aidsPraisedOwners say the Inpulse lights and track suggestions make beatmatching click faster than with a plain controller.
  • Build qualityCriticisedReviewers describe the body and controls as plasticky and light compared with pricier gear.
  • ControlsMixedThe layout is easy to learn, but knobs and faders are small for larger hands.
  • SetupPraisedBuyers report quick plug-and-play setup with DJUCED and Serato DJ Lite.
  • Headphone outputMixedThe onboard jack is convenient, though output is modest with high-impedance headphones.

Questions and answers

Does it work without a laptop?
No. It is a controller, so it needs a laptop or computer running DJUCED or Serato DJ Lite. The built-in sound card handles audio output and headphones.
Can I use it with Serato?
Yes. It works with Serato DJ Lite out of the box and with DJUCED, Hercules's own software. Serato DJ Pro requires a paid upgrade.
Does it have a headphone jack?
Yes. There is a 3.5 mm headphone output on the unit, so you can cue tracks without a separate audio interface.
Can I connect turntables or a microphone?
No. It has no external inputs, so it cannot serve as a mixer for turntables, CDJs or a mic.
Is it good for a complete beginner?
Yes. The Inpulse beatmatch and tempo guidance is designed for people who have never mixed before, and the software walks you through the basics.
How does it compare with the Pioneer DDJ-200?
The Inpulse 200 adds a built-in sound card, headphone jack and beatmatch coaching. The DDJ-200 is smaller and relies on phone or laptop audio, so it is less self-contained.
