About this product
The Pioneer DJ DDJ-XP2 is a sub-controller designed to expand the capabilities of Rekordbox DJ and Serato DJ Pro setups. It features 16 performance pads per deck, allowing for expanded trigger modes like Hot Cues, Beat Loop, and Slicer. The unit connects via USB and is powered through the host computer. While it doesn't include a sound card or mixer section, it adds tactile control for DJs who want more hands-on command without upgrading their main hardware.
Our take
The DDJ-XP2 is a solid addition if you already own a compatible Pioneer mixer or controller and want more pad-based control. The build is typical Pioneer—solid, with responsive pads. It works seamlessly with Rekordbox and Serato out of the box. My only reservation is the price: $350 for a sub-controller feels steep, especially when many all-in-one controllers include similar pad functionality. If you really need 16 pads per deck and use the software heavily, it's a polished tool. Otherwise, consider whether your current gear already covers that ground.
