The verdict – Should you get a new DDJ-FLX4? The Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 is a great device, however not exactly a large step up from the DDJ-400’s feature set. So, is getting a new Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 worth it? Should you upgrade from your DDJ-400? Our take on that is as follows: while the new and updated DDJ-FLX4 is certainly the better option if you don’t own an entry-level DJ controller just yet, if you do own a DDJ-400, it might not be worth to swap it for the FLX4 if you don’t exactly need the new Smart CFX, Smart Fader features and the updated looks which are the main selling point of this device. How does the Pioneer DDJ-FLX6 compare to the DDJ-FLX4? Well, first things first the FLX6 is a larger, 4-channel DJ controller with full-size capacitive jog wheels, and the FLX4 is much smaller, featuring 2 mixer channels and jog wheels which size can be best compared to the ones present on the DDJ-400.
