Quick verdict
Choosing DJ equipment here comes down to a clear tradeoff: a lower-priced dual-CD unit in parts-or-not-working condition, or a new eight-channel mixer designed around broader input mixing. The NEW BAXS Professional DJ Audio Mixer - 8 Channel DJ Bluetooth Controller Soun is the straightforward pick for someone seeking a new mixer with Bluetooth streaming, USB playback, and DSP effects. The Edison Scratch 2500 Professional Dual CD USB MP3 DJ Audio Mixer is aimed at a much narrower use: a repair, restoration, or parts project involving a digital dual-CD/USB MP3 mixer.
The listed-price gap is $40.19. That difference matters less than condition: the Edison is explicitly sold as parts or not working, while the NEW BAXS is listed as new.
At-a-glance comparison

|---|---|---|
| Listed price | USD 99.00 | USD 139.19 |
| Condition | For parts or not working | New |

Where each mixer wins
Pick the NEW BAXS CT80S for channel count and a ready-to-use feature set. Its eight-channel format is the more natural match for mixing multiple microphones or line-level sources, and its Bluetooth input can be mixed with other channels. The USB interface, flash-drive playback capability, MP3 player, and 16 preset DSP effects also make it the more feature-focused choice for a setup centered on varied inputs.
Choose the Edison Scratch 2500 for its specific dual-CD/USB MP3 format-only when its condition suits the plan. The Edison combines CD and MP3 playback compatibility with digital effects including echo, filter, flanger, delay, distortion, and dub echo. That specialized format may be appealing when those built-in playback functions are central to a repair or component project.
Product notes
Edison Scratch 2500 Professional Dual CD USB MP3 DJ Audio Mixer
The Edison Scratch 2500 is the lower-priced entry at USD 99.00 and has a distinct all-in-one direction: dual CD drives, USB MP3 functionality, two channels, and a collection of effects that includes echo, filter, flanger, delay, distortion, and dub echo. Its digital interface and MP3/CD-player compatibility give it a clear use case for someone interested in older-style media playback within a DJ mixer format. However, the condition is the deciding limitation. It is listed for parts or not working, signal operation is untested, a power cord is needed, the front knobs are pushed in, and one low-EQ knob is described as loose. The drives open and close and both screens turn on, but that does not change its parts-oriented status.
NEW BAXS Professional DJ Audio Mixer - 8 Channel DJ Bluetooth Controller Soun
The NEW BAXS CT80S is the better fit for a mixer-focused setup that needs more connections and modern playback options. It is listed as new and brings eight channels, eight XLR mic/line inputs, Bluetooth streaming, AUX, a USB interface, flash-drive playback, and 16 preset DSP effects into one board. Bluetooth is described as an input that can be mixed alongside other channels, which is useful when wireless audio is part of the source mix. The main limitation is simply its higher listed price of USD 139.19, along with a format that emphasizes input mixing rather than the Edison's dual-CD playback layout. Buyers who specifically want integrated CD drives will find that the NEW BAXS description points in a different direction.
Final choice by use case
Choose the NEW BAXS CT80S for a new eight-channel DJ audio mixer with Bluetooth, USB playback, XLR mic/line inputs, and 16 DSP presets. It is the more suitable choice when the goal is to connect and mix several sources.
Choose the Edison Scratch 2500 when a dual-CD and USB MP3 mixer format is the priority and the project can accommodate a parts-or-not-working unit with the stated knob, power-cord, and untested-signal limitations. Its lower listed price reflects a fundamentally different condition and use case.
