HerculesDJControl Mix for Smartphone

Awesome mixer, fully rechargeable and works with both tablets, cellphones, and laptops. It sounds great very easy to use and well worth the money. I love the portability and the included y-cable for connecting to external speakers and headphones for monitoring. I used it for six hours on a single charge. Great back up tool for DJAY Pro users. Me personally I always bring an extra laptop or tablet/ipad as a backup.

The media could not be loaded. I like carrying this in my backpack with my iPad so I can DJ any place on the spot, I also carry a JBL Bluetooth speaker with me so I'm ready to DJ no matter where I go it is simple to use and connect. This one connects to iOS devices such as iPhone and iPad through the Bluetooth. It also has a USB connection on the side that plugs into a power source. You can use a USB adapter or a power bank portable battery charger. Fits nicely in a backpack and looks and sounds great it may not have all the bills and whistles of the bigger pioneer units, but it does almost the same thing minus the sound effects. It's great for blending and has sync buttons on it I use it with djay algorithm app on iPad and it is just seamless. I'm glad I made this purchase, and I am satisfied !

TL;DR: The quality is pretty good but there's a few bits that could be improved. Overall: Not bad but a bit pricy for what it is.Pros:~Hefty. This thing weighs more than expected. The weight doesn't make it any less portable but it feels like it could withstand being dropped.~ DJAY is a robust bit of software, especially considering it's written for Android/iOS primarily. The pro feature are mostly worth the subscription price.~ There isn't that much input lag. It is almost as responsive as my Inpulse 500 controller which is impressive over Bluetooth.~ Dedicated low, high, mid controls and performance pads. The addition of controls solves a lot of my complaints with the smaller controller~ Roomy for a mobile controller. It's just as easy to work with as a full sized controller and the button placements are identical to the 500. No learning curve if you're used to Hercules kit.~ Bluetooth sound out isn't terrible. There is noticeable lag but nothing that you can't get used to. If the lag is really a problem, use a hard line output. DJAY works on most devices with a usb to headphone adapterCons:~ Stated battery life is way too generous. With heavy effect/control use, the battery lasted around four hours on a full charge~Will work plugged in but only sort of. I don't know if it's a particular glitch with my phone but upon reaching a full charge, one deck in the software started glitching. The problem resolved itself when I unplugged the controller from usb power. It didn't freak out until it was full, however. I can't say if this glitch is repeatable.~Yes, there's bluetooth output lag and it is noticeable.~ This is a software gripe but since this thing is software locked...when scrolling through the music library, the UI will crash if navigating too quickly. Using the navigation buttons/knobs on the controller seems to work better but the back function is buggy so some touch navigation is required.~Price. $219 is steep for a controller that can only be used on mobile devices. However it does outperform similar, more expensive units.~ An updated, somewhat modern devices is needed. The software is a real a double s on older phones/tabletsAs stated above, I like it overall. As a seasoned DJ, I find that it does enough to just barely make this work for live performances. That said, I'd rock a party/club with it but I'm aware of the potential for it to get pissy. The need for an updated phone, the somewhat minor software gripes and the fact that this goofy thing is over $200 is what knocked it down a star. I'm pedantic but I'm also impressed with what can be done with it. Play with it, enjoy it for what it is and don't expect the world and you'll be happy.

This thing is awesome for it being Bluetooth , zero to no latency even on Bluetooth and the controller you pick up super fast, only thing I don't like is you have to pay 50$ a year to use the app

Works great! Haven't tried Bluetooth yet

This thing is solid !!! Wonderful little controler

I use it with the DJ algorithm pro app for iPad. It can also be used with virtual DJ program. Only drawback is that you have to pay for both programs to get the full effect from them or the free trial. Fits in the front pocket of a backpack. You need a dongle with a headphone jack to power it and get the sound out with no latency from using Bluetooth. The Bluetooth works but I don’t recommend using it.

I rarely give bad reviews, but unfortunately, there is always a time.I thought this device would be pretty cool to mix with, however, connecting to it turned out to be a nightmare.I had to try multiple different phones (7 in total actually) before I found that my old Samsung Galaxy S20 could connect. None of he other 6 (all newer phones ranging from Samsung, Motorola, ZTE, RedMagic, etc...) could not actually connect to it. All were configured correctly for location, etc... the device is just incompatible with their Bluetooth version.The next issue is that this just feels cheap. Like a corner market toy or kind of the feel of a cheap water gun.After that comes the issue of it not having an internal battery. This would have been an easy addition and considering how overpriced this is, that could be a minimal thing to add to it.Lastly is it's integration with it's software which constantly falls out of alignment with the device.I'm assuming the manufacturer didn't really do any comprehensive compatibility testing and likely tried to produce this on the cheap and it shows.There is more wrong with it and/or areas it falls woefully short, but this likely says enough.
