The site divides its research into product reviews, best-of lists, direct comparisons, and explanatory guides rather than presenting one undifferentiated catalog. Its coverage includes software compatibility, laptop-free use, phones and tablets, scratching, beatmatching, portability, battery power, and channel count. The homepage names products across Hercules, Numark, Pioneer, AlphaTheta, Native Instruments, and CO-Z, and reports 125 reviews and guides.
