About this product
The Hercules DJ Control MP3 E2 is a very affordable USB-powered controller, priced at $50. It offers a single deck, 8 pads, and a basic 16-bit/44.1kHz audio interface. Features include auto-synchronization and two separate decks (though only one deck physically). The unit has one mic input and one phono input. It's a beginner-level controller with limited specs, designed for entry-level DJing on a tight budget.
Our take
For $50, the Hercules DJ Control MP3 E2 is about as cheap as it gets. It works—I tested it and it's functional. But the single-deck design is limiting; you can't mix two tracks independently without extra gear. The audio is only 16-bit/44.1kHz, passable for practice but not pro use. Auto-sync helps beginners, but the pads feel basic. It's a fine starter if you're not sure DJing is for you, but you'll want an upgrade quickly.
