The difference
A CDJ-3000 is one player: you need two of them plus a mixer to set up. The XDJ-RX3 is a single all-in-one desk with a 10.1-inch screen and a mixer built in, so it is one case and one purchase. Both use the same rekordbox layout as the players in clubs. The CDJ price is per unit.
Which to buy
- The Pioneer CDJ-3000 if you want the club-standard layout, or you already own one CDJ.
- The Pioneer XDJ-RX3 if you want one case, one price and a booth-sized screen.
