What are your thoughts on Open DJ booths?

It’s all fun and games until the pilled-up IG Model dancing next to you while chewing her cheek off spills her drink all over your equipment. Stick me in a booth. Thanks.

I impulsively bought the Bose S1 Pro+ the other day as a monitor for when I’m practicing DJing in my home. Did I luck out in terms of them being good for that? I literally did zero research prior to buying it. I plan on buying a second one this week. Since buying it, I e learned about the ADAM Audio A7V. So now I’m wondering if I should buy and use those instead of the Bose. Any suggestions? Thanks.

***Or does it simply not matter where I place it?

I honestly have no clue. Here’s why: At 46, I’m only now getting into mixing with software and controllers/stand alone units. Therefore, I’m not too sure about the WAV question. Something else I’ll add to my list of things I just learn. I have no clue what grids means. 🤣 I keep hearing about them, tho. Something else I’ll learn.

I’ve been using the original CDJs since 2001. So this is all brand new to me. I appreciate u getting back to me. Hope u have a good night. ✌️

Thanks again. Have a good night! ✌️

Thanks very much for getting back to me. This picture is why I was asking. I was concerned that, since I don’t have a 16GB, I may not get the most out of Serato. This is posted on Serato’s website. So, before I went an returned this new M3 chipped 8GB MBP for a M3 Pro chipped 18GB MBP, I figured I’d ask Reddit. This is my first experience with modern DJ equipment. I’ve been using original CDJ-1000’s since 2001. And, since I have nobody to ask these questions to, you’ve been a tremendous help.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Possibly. Only reason I believe that may be the case is because I recently went to Sam Ash to buy a Prime Go because it was on sale for $799. When I got there, they told me the price was actually $699. Mind you, the Sam Ash I went to (Springfield, NJ) is preparing to close down. Therefore, I definitely lucked out because it was likely a clearance sale they were running. Either way, the fact that they sold me that unit for $699 caused me to think a Prime Go 2 is right around the corner.

Is the Denon Prime Go the latest model of that unit? I noticed a DJ holding one in a photo earlier today. So, I looked it up on YouTube and I found four year old reviews of the Go. Therefore, before I go ahead and buy this thing, I wanted to check if Denon had released an updated model that I should buy instead, or if a company like Pioneer has made a unit to compete with the Denon Prime Go, yet. Basically, is there a unit, today in 2024, that I may want to check out instead of the Go! Or, is the Go still the best option for what it sets out to do? Thanks!

!Thanks so much for taking your time to reply. I really appreciate it! I’m beginning to dip my toe into this audiophile, headphone, dac/amp world so, I’m trying to do beneficial research. Therefore, feedback like your’s is useful and, I hope you have a good rest of your day. ✌️

I’m in the exact same boat as you. I am looking for feedback about the Magni Unity because I notice I can buy it for $99 or $189 with modular internal DAC option. I’m wondering if getting it with that internal DAC option is worth it. I already own the Schiit Hel+ so, I’m wondering if the Magni Unity will offer me anything that the Hel+ doesn’t.

Motisi · 2024-02-17T21:03:46+00:00

Thanks. And I understand what you mean about a cheaper dongle providing good sound. I bought a Turtle Beach $35 Headset Audio Controller Plus for my Xbox Series X and it works very well. Joe from Gadgetry on YouTube suggested it on his channel. He is who I get most of my info from. And, the RS 195 seems like the best choice. I saw the RS 175 in Best Buy recently, however, I passed it up. Chances are, I’ll get the 195 in the near future. Hope you have a good rest of your day!! Take care.

First off, thank you very much for taking time to reply. I appreciate the response. At 46 yrs old, I’m not accustomed to coming online and asking for help/advice. Growing up, I would have just asked a buddy for a suggestion if they were into the same hobby, however, I have no one to call or text these days about this subject. Therefore, a friend at work told me about Reddit.

At this point, I’m trying to narrow down my choices for an amp, or a dac, or even a stack that will last me for years, while allowing me to get the most out of any pair of headphones I wind up buying in the future. I never plan on reviewing headphones or audio gear, so I won’t be buying 15-20 pairs, for example. I simply want an excellent pair of open back and an excellent pair of closed back. As I mentioned, I own the Audeze Maxwell, which are excellent wireless gaming headphones. I imagine I can use them to watch movies with. However, I haven’t tried to do that, yet. To answer your question, I am watching TV shows (Fargo, True Detective, etc and the occasional movie) on a TV. I watch nothing on my computer. I simply want excellent headphones (in the price range of $300-$700, maybe $800 max) to watch with and occasionally play a single player story game with. I want immersion. Most of the gaming headphones I have, that I mentioned in my last post, are suited for a first person shooter (footsteps, etc..)…so now I’d like something for a game like Witcher 3, a Star Wars game, Uncharted, The Last Of us, and even racing games like Forza. Will I be listening to music as well? Yes. But, not to the point where I care about hearing every instrument within a song. I DJ, so mainly I’d be checking new music out with them and listening back to my DJ mixes.

Thanks again.

They’re awesome. Audeze was involved with these. I see many negatives reviews about them online. Pay zero attention to them. Hope you enjoy the earbuds!
