About this product
The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 is a 2-deck USB DJ controller designed for Serato DJ and Djuced, with a black finish. It offers essential DJ controls including jog wheels, performance pads, and dedicated effects controls. Priced at $299.99, it includes a built-in audio interface for direct connection to speakers or headphones.
Our take
I've been using the Inpulse 500 for a few weeks now, and it's a solid mid-range controller. The 2-deck layout works well with Serato DJ out of the box, and the build feels sturdier than expected. I like the large jog wheels and the responsive performance pads. The built-in sound card saves desk space. For $300, it's a decent choice for beginner to intermediate DJs. Just note that it's USB powered only, so you'll need a laptop for use.
