The Internet’s Opinion

From 5 professional reviews: a fair amount of evidence.

All five reviews found recommend it as a first controller, mainly because it works with almost any DJ app on a laptop, iPad or phone and is small enough to carry anywhere. The reservations are its toy-like look and the missing gain controls and level meters; no owner reviews could be read because the main retailers no longer list it.

Our take

Rory TassellWritten from the sources on this page, not from a loan unit.

All five reviews recommend it as a first controller, chiefly because it works with almost any DJ app on a laptop, iPad or phone and is small enough to carry anywhere. Two find it toy-looking, and two point out it has no gain controls or level meters. Pioneer DJ no longer sells it and no owner reviews could be read, so treat it as a used buy and check that your app still supports it.

What it is

Status, October 2026: discontinued. Pioneer DJ's DDJ-WeGO4 page marks it as archived in every region, with no price or buy link, and has not named a direct replacement; Bax Music also lists it as discontinued.

What it is

The DDJ-WeGO4 is a two-channel DJ controller for beginners from Pioneer DJ, announced on 8 September 2016 and on sale from mid-September that year (Pioneer DJ product page). It came in black and white versions.

It connects to a Mac or PC over USB, or to an iPhone or iPad through its USB-A port and a Lightning cable, and a slot on top holds an iPad. On a computer it unlocks rekordbox Performance mode while connected, and the box included rekordbox dj and VirtualDJ LE 8 licence cards. On iOS it works with Pioneer DJ's WeDJ app and Algoriddim's djay.

Each deck has a jog wheel with a sandblasted aluminium panel, play and cue buttons, a tempo slider and four performance buttons for Hot Cues or the sampler. Pioneer DJ lists Pad FX and loops among its performance features. The mixer has a two-band EQ and filter per channel, switchable to a three-band EQ or filter mode in rekordbox or WeDJ. With rekordbox dj, PC Master Out plays the mix through the computer's speakers while the controller drives the headphones.

The built-in sound card has an RCA master output, 1/4" and 3.5 mm headphone jacks and a 1/4" mic input. It runs on USB bus power or the supplied 12 V AC adapter, measures 380 x 59 x 240 mm and weighs 1.8 kg. The box holds the AC adapter, a power cord, a USB cable and the licence cards; an RCA cable and a Lightning cable are not included.
