What reviewers say about the Pioneer DDJ-FLX4
Only one whitelisted tester, MusicRadar, published a hands-on review; no other whitelisted audio outlet covered this exact model. MusicRadar calls the FLX4 a strong contender for best beginner controller, praising plug-and-play setup, effective smart auto-mix/FX functions and Bluetooth plus USB mic routing, while flagging small jog wheels with no display, an over-simplified single-colour layout, and a small crossfader.

the FLX4 is likely to be a successful successor to the DDJ-400, and is a strong contender for best beginner's DJ controller on the market right now
I found the jog wheels to be small and light but with a solid enough feel to them in the mix, although they don't have any visual display unlike rival Numark Platinum FX, which is a shame
there's no doubt it works pretty well, and would be a super fun function for a newbie DJ
