Do you ever find your shopping cart just under 2,000 yen with small items or single orders? While some small items like guitar and bass strings and batteries are now eligible for free shipping, you might still find yourself struggling just to make that extra yen limit.
In such cases, I recommend checking out these convenient small items that are always useful and perfect for DJs. Here are our top picks from a DJ’s perspective!

- Recommended ‘Impulse Buy’ Items Priced Around 100 Yen

Classic Pro / CABLE BAND Zip Tie for Cables

These are velcro style zip ties that are perfect for organizing cables. While these are available at 100 yen stores, Sound House sells them individually. Furthermore, it’s quite rare to find them at this price.
This is especially popular as a helpful tool for DJ booths where cables often become tangled. It helps with cable management and prevents trouble from happening during setup or transitions, and it has also been well-received by DJs who bring their own equipment, such as PC DJs.

Neutrik / NDP

This is a dust cover cap designed to be attached to RCA pin terminals. It doesn’t only prevent dust accumulation but also helps to prevent the terminals from bending and other potential damage. When I tested it on the RCA cables extending from the SL-1200 and other RCA cables, some terminals fit perfectly and some were slightly loose.
This variation is due to the lack of an international standard for RCA terminals, which results in minor differences between manufacturers. So, I recommend trying one first.

Neutrik / NDF

Meanwhile the XLR female terminal caps provided a very secure fit. I tested them on various inputs, including the microphone input on DJ mixers and combo jack-type speaker inputs, and they all fit very well. They are especially recommended for DJ mixers at home or in situations where the microphone inputs are used less frequently.

Classic Pro / ASN221M Conversion Adapter

These are headphone jack adapters. DJs are likely to have experienced situations where they’ve forgotten these at home, lost them, or they didn't come back after loaning them out. Depending on the model, these adapters can be purchased for just a few hundred yen. It's a good idea to keep one stashed away in your PC case, headphone case, record case, or even in your wallet for emergencies.

Classic Pro / ARR411

These are female-to-female RCA adapters (for two cables). These can be used to simply extend cables from CDJs or PC DJ controllers. In past situations, these have been useful for patching multiple cables together to resolve issues with cable connection on-site.

With a budget of under 100 yen, the options are somewhat limited. However, consider making an "impulse buy" from the items we’ve introduced to reach the free shipping threshold and become a savvy shopper! Next time, I will be featuring "impulse buy" recommendations for items priced around a few hundred yen.
