In this Head To Head feature we're pitting the Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX2 against the XDJ-RR. Both are two-channel standalone devices for Rekordbox, meaning you can spin using just a USB thumb drive that has all your music exported from Rekordbox, and you can also connect them to your laptop for spinning with Rekordbox DJ.

Wow! Great video! After watching, I'm now interested in the DDJ RZ!
Nice!
Great comparison video and good insight about the main differences, will go for the RR myself, as I just need it to keep my skillset up to date
Awesome, enjoy the RR!
I appreciate your presentations. Thank you.
No problem, thanks for watching :)
Great comparison. I’ll be going for the RR. It looks more than capable enough.
It's a nice kit, enjoy!
I prefered going for the RR specially the mobility for my gigs in private events and plug and play at bars (moving lights, speakers and a +7,7 kg gear is a pain in the ass)... Anyways just the fact of having an all in one system make you look very very professional to common folk and will grab someone's eye for sure... and in my case makes me look as a better option for potential costumers❤
Thank you for the review in helping me decide which one to purchase as an upgrade from my Traktor S4.
So which one did you go for?
@@digitaldjtips The RX2
Im about to upgrade also from s4 to RX2 :) s4 is nice also though
Need to do a head to head of xdj-rx2 and ddj1000
I have an RR, absolutley love it, i saw no point paying an extra 500 pound for showy offy features, it does what it needs to do! Id love an RX2, but my budget didnt allow it, but i have no regrets purchasing my RR! Id recommend it
Great, thanks for your feedback Healy X Green.
Excellent video. Thanks.
You're welcome.
at that price, I was expecting a 4 deck!
Im a starting dj from Belgium and just ordered the xdj-rr. It's my first bought controller ever, hope it will be nice. Great video!
Enjoy! It's a very nice controller :)
Me too ,, I gonna start with rr
Damn that RX2 looks awesome
Wait until you play on it.. my god..
Nice video could do with some more head to heads it gives people more of an understanding of what to buy kind of like top gear only it’s Dj Equipment keep up the good work 🎼🎼💯👊🏾
Glad you liked it! We'll definitely look at doing more head to heads in future :)
Exactly what I was looking for!! Great break down.. now... who’s got an RR used with a coffin for sale?...
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped
It’s 2018 Touch screen is the way to go!!
agreed. being able to finger type to search for your next track vs endless jogwheel scrolling. seems like a much smoother workflow.
Great channel
Thanks!
I don't ask a 4 channel stand alone controller but at least a 2 channel and a 1 external line input with independent volume to use with an external cdj at the same time I work with other 2. Those two external line input of XDJ RX2 don't satisfy my needs. For exemple if I use right line and have an external cdj connected to the same line I can't use it when I want... Must play a track on left deck first and then use external cdj. They should have at least one external line with independent control. Like a controller with 3 channel mixer. I don't know if I am expressing myself in right way.
If your starting out as newbie and you have a tidy some.of cash then the rx2 would be ok but if your needing a laptop as well the rr will be good point to start from.or if you ain't got much cash and you need a laptop and a controller I go for the ddj400 1st.
Thanks Charles! :)
Need to do a head to head of mcx8000 vs XDJ-rx2
We kinda did it on our Facebook Live this week.
Can you use serato with this?
great "head 2 head" ofcourse the RX2 is the way to go.
Thanks Jose :)
Very helpful video, thanks. From these two I'm choosing RX-2. But which one of these: XDJ-RX2 or XDJ-XZ is more better for home use?
Depends what factors are important to you for "home use" size? weight? what?
I have owned the MCX for about a year now and I'm pretty sure I'm in a good enough position to give my opinion.
I honestly prefer the MCX over both these two systems just for 4 things...
================================
1: Can switch between Serato/Engine seamlessly or can use 2 channels for engine and 2 channels for Serato at the same time (It's what I personally use).
2: More channels, which gives me the chance to show up on clubs and connect their CDJs with DVS.
3: Bright asf screens.
4: It's construction is metal.
================================
Now someone may not like the MCX for the following reasons.
================================
1: The screens are seperated, which makes things WAY harder for people who cannot Beat Match by ear (Not my case).
2: You cannot scratch easily as on for example an RX or an RZ which those have controls for the Jogwheel, but once you get used to it you can create some amazing scratching performances.
3: Most people that are Pioneer users and use CDJs may not like the engine standalone and how it works
4: Hasn't got a touch screen, which to be honest I don't mind on the MCX which I am more of a knob guy.
================================
I'm open to a discussion and other opinions
Thanks for the detailed info!
No problem, looking forward to you making a video on this topic and you may use my comment as a "User Experience" in the video!
Cheers!
Im getting the RR
Awesome :)
Hi Joey - watching your videos - it helped me decided so I went ahead and purchased the RX2 version. Thank you - your explanations are the best !
While I'm happy with the effects - there are a few things that happen to me that I'm unsure how to solve: ( any hints are welcome )
- Something about the set of - tunes when loaded start automatically not allowing me to cue at first
- I connect my laptop to the equipment, and follow instructions, controller reads and analyzes laptop tracks but music only plays from the computers speakers - ( I followed the audio instructions ) What shall I do to get the monitors speakers to play what I see on rekordox/laptop ?
- What keys are compatible ? Meaning - if I'm to mix 2 songs - what is a chart that explains the probability of match based on KEY ?
- With rekordboxDJ + beatbort premium ( paid ) account - is it possible to export musci from my premium soundclound into rekorbox using the USB stick only ?
Thanks for all this !
1. You can toggle the "auto start" playback of music in the Settings of the XDJ-RX 2
2. Have you installed the drivers for the XDJ-RX2? If so, you should be able to select the XDJ-RX2 as the Output in Rekordbox DJ's preferences
3. Check out the "Camelot System" graphic online :)
4. No
You're welcome! :)
I have the RR, fills all my needs for what I want and need at home, which is to practice and keep my shit tight for work.
The RX2 is great, but maybe too much of a luxury for home and my budget.
I also assembled a booth for a small ish unit. RR is a great, unit yes it could be improved but then you would end up with a RX2 or something too similar to make sense.
Good vid btw
Nice one, glad it's working well for you
Let's be honest here, the RR is the better pick when it comes to mobility. I would NEVER take the RX2 outside of my house with fears of drunks spilling their drinks on my equipment.
They're both pretty portable but the RR does work great for that
As a beginner, would you recommend the XDJ-RR over the FLX6GT?
Nice Head to Head video! Is the RR capable to run a Rekordbox ready external hard drive with 1TB music?
I asked same quastion Pioneer support and they said yes:)
Yes. I use a 2tb external ssd with my xdj-rx and xdj-rx2.
i have an RR but practice on a friends RX often... if find there is nothing differernt with them other then the extra effects... but what u can create using both colour and effects at same time makes up for it... You you really need a touch screen?
Yeah the touch screen for me is a "nice to have" not a deal breaker but everyone is different I suppose
Good lord i cant decide what to get. Used Rx1 or RR. Or save up and go for the RX 2 (Used). Every device is nice to have but yeah. Its a hard decision :D Thanks for your video :)
Let us know what you decide!
What did you decide? Im currently undecided too
Rx2 no doubt
Hey recently I learned about. (IN EAR MONITORS) and I was wondering is it possible to use wireless. Ones.
"If they have them"
because I heard that marshemello used them. But I never see him disconnect them. When he walks around. So they must be wireless?
Never heard of wireless in ear monitoring, let us know if you find anything out!

Sir I will take one RX2 and one RR please..
XDJ RX2 vs XDJ 700s and a DJM450 mixer???
Nice idea. We'll try and get on it.
it was a good idea make the same thing with xdj-rxONE and the xdj-rr .. can you make this? :)
We'll consider it, cheers!
I like my RX2, but it’s very wide and weighs 20 lbs. So it’s bigger/heavier than a carry-on suitcase, and it doesn’t have any handles. It’s very awkward to pick it up by the sides. I feel like an Oompa-Loompa struggling to deliver a pizza that’s as big as I am. It’s a little scary putting it in my car. I would almost rather pack up my DJM-900 and two CDJs.
It’s a little frustrating to look at the RX2 or the RR. They could EASILY fit full-sized wheels on the RX2 if they didn’t waste so much space in the mixer area, and they could easily fit RX2-sized wheels on the RR. Obviously Pioneer wants to reserve normal jog wheels for their top-tier CDJs. Everything else gets small wheels - except the DDJ-1000 which gets toy wheels with phone screens in the middle.
What you mean by toy wheels? They're awesome on the DDJ-1000 (and XZ) :)
@@digitaldjtips My first controller was a DDJ-1000. I don't think the screens are very useful, and they're tacky. It really stands out that Pioneer took cheap phone screens and masked off part to make it look rounded. The wheels function fine, but they're a little less solid than CDJ wheels. The RX2 might have capacitive wheels, but it feels crazy solid. I swear the RX2 feels more sturdy than my CDJs. I think in pictures, the DDJ-1000 looks really nice and the RX2 is kinda ugly, but once I actually used them I didn't like the DDJ-1000 and I think the RX2 is really nice. Every part of it is solid. The EQ knobs are as good as a DJM-900, and the filter knobs are actually nicer on the RX2 than on a DJM-900. Not that I think it's dumb to get a DDJ-1000. If I were going to use a controller I'd rather have a DDJ-400, though, just because it's closer to the actual CDJ layout.
I'm a student and beginner dj interested in genre House, Should I buy xdj rr or others?
Rr should be more than enough even if you have gigs, unless you really want to use turntables or need a booth output. Other than that, as helpful as the touchscreen is, you can do just fine without it
For the same price or cheaper you can pick up a controller with a 4 channel mixer and with more features
pioneer xdj rx2 Vs. denon mcx8000??? Which is better?
Denon. Has more stuff built in it.
Bro which studio monitors u use
Joey uses the Focal Twin 6Be’s :)
@@digitaldjtips thems the bomb.. . . . Love focals
you should compare xdj -r1 vs. xdj-rr.
xdj - rx2 its all in one but not this same level
Good idea Dave :)
If only the XDJ XZ can utilize 4 channels on standalone... It will be worth the upgrade from these two...
For sure
pinoy ka pre?
The RR has no boot exit
is there a 4 channel RX??
No, only 2 channels
No and they'll never be one ever.
Then go for the rx2. You can plug in 2 other cdj
in denon prime 4 yes ;)
XDJ RX1 or XDJ RR New?
Good question, not much to choose to be honest but I'd go for the RR just as it's a newer model.
Forget these two for a while.where is the next controller from pioneer that sits in the middle of the ddj 400 and the ddj 1000.This is what am waiting for
What kind of Pioneer controller would be ideal in your book? :)
RX2 for the pure reason it has IEC 120v input. Would love to spend less on the RR but thats a deal breaker
Why is this important?
I just asked Siri how many dj controllers are currently on the market and she just started smoking and blew up. Stop getting pimped by pioneer and just buy the one that works best for your needs.
ha! 😂
A 4 channel version would be great but I really doubt Pioneer DJ will do that because it would take their CDJ/DJM range out of the running 😕
DDJ-1000 o XDJ-RR?
They're quite different, depends if you want standalone or 4 channels more
Digital DJ Tips i finally decided for the XDJ-RX2, good review!
😍😍😍😍😍
I still think first gen RX is the best one....
Was definitely a nice controller
Prime 4 on the way
Cool, let us know how you get on with it Justin!
@@digitaldjtips haha sure will. Man I'm getting super impatient lol. It's taking forever
It'll be worth it when it arrives!
No one uses Denon in clubs or festivals...well hardly anyone
Rx2 vs Rx2 at home
Lol :)
Can’t stand dead platters like that on the RR . No visuals just a dead jog wheel.
Fair enough! Really doesn't worry us, but everyone's different! :)
No sense comparison
If you dont buy the rx2 you doing it wrong
Definitely a solid bit of kit :)
Sorry Pioneer but Denon is winning the battle
Thanks for watching!
