Victrola Journey - Bluetooth Suitcase Record Player - Brown

I love this vinyl player! It comes in a bunch of different fun colors (pink, blue, black, etc.), and love the retro look. It’s perfect for starters, it is very easy to use. It’s compact and light. The sound isn’t the best but it’s very good for the price. If you’re looking for better sound maybe a higher end vinyl player is for you. I’m personally happy with the sound though. You can connect your phone to the speakers of the vinyl player to listen to your music via bluetooth but cannot connect a bluetooth headphone to listen to records. Other than that, I’ve had no issues with vinyls skipping. Everything works well :) I definitely recommend this unit!!!

I bought this Victrola record player because I wanted something simple and nice-looking to start listening to vinyl at home. Overall, I really liked the design and how easy it is to use, especially for beginners. ✔️ What I liked: * Beautiful, decorative design that looks great in the home. * Very easy to set up and use, perfect for beginners. * No need for extra complicated equipment to start listening. * Decent volume for home use. ❌ What I didn’t like: * Sound quality is basic compared to more professional setups. * It feels a bit lightweight/less sturdy. * Some vibration at higher volume levels. Overall, it’s a great option if you want to get into vinyl easily or just want a stylish functional pie

I’m an audio engineer. I cater to the audio snobs who would look the other way at a record player like this. And if audio fidelity is what you’re most concerned about, you shouldn’t even bother listening to vinyl. I grew up with vinyl, more than happily abandoned it one better technologies came along, and decided to give this machine a try after staying in a short term rental that had a player and some records. And I think what this really excels that is listening to the older records from the early 60s and prior. By any objective measures the speakers in this are horrible, but they’re absolutely perfect for that kind of music. And as it turns out, it’s a really fun experience. I’ve been so absorbed into the digital world that I have forgotten what it’s like to actually own a physical copy of your music. The steaks are higher. I ended up buying a random assortment of vinyl records from somebody on the used market, and the very fact that you own a physical peace of recording history provides more incentive to listen to the music. Anyway, in terms of the hardware, This won’t win any awards for durability. The stylus and cartridge will probably have to be replaced after about 300 hours. The tone arm is very light and somewhat resident, which results in fluttering with some records. Again, that’s part of the charm. And why you should steer clear this if you care about fidelity. I also don’t think this would do very well being moved around often, and I doubt the exterior would hold up well over a short amount of time with a lot of banging around. On upshot is that the DC power it requires is 5V/1A. The same as most USB devices. So with the appropriate cable, you can power it off of a USB power bank. As a music and music history lover, this has been a surprisingly fulfilling purchase. It works well for what it is, and for the price, you can’t argue with what you get.

Full disclosure: I bought this as a "new other" Amazon Warehouse deal to use as a photo prop. For my intended use, it worked perfectly and I got some great shots. However, I do not use it to play music. Review is largely on build quality. This is a handsome unit that isn't as over-the top or gauche as others within the price range, and it builds off of the classic Crosley styling with a name that has some specific brand cachet attached to it. Still, I would hesitate to play any records on it that I am seriously attached to or that hold sentimental value to me, due to the questionable arm weight (non-adjustable) and lackluster needle (higher quality replacements are available online). This unit isn't the most practical, and it doesn't always make the most sense in practice. It needs to be plugged in in order to function, but it is billed as a portable unit with built in speakers. So you're getting lightweight, portable build quality and small built-in speakers, but you also have to plug it in to use it. That contradiction leads to some head-scratching. Still, it looks quite handsome in the process of making you question your buying decisions. As my unit was an Amazon Warehouse deal, I can't comment directly on the build quality and packaging as I received it. However, while owning and transporting the unit for photoshoots (always carried gently and never jostled around) I noticed that the clip that holds the tone arm in place ended up breaking at some point, leading the tone arm to flop around inside the unit while closed up. I was able to fix this with a hair tie, but it's something to keep in mind. At the end of the day, if you are looking to play a record you picked up at the local thrift shop, or you need something for the person in your life who is picked "vinyl" as their hyperfixation of the week (I say this wholly without judgement), this unit is an easy and cheap way to get them started--though they will want to look into upgrading as soon as they are willing to commit to the hobby. If you're looking for a good turntable for listening and enjoying vinyl, or looking to start a collection, another model from a more enthusiast-oriented value brand like Audio Technica would suit your needs better.

This was my first record player, and I absolutely love it! It plays all of my records beautifully with clear and distinct sound, and the mechanics of the player is very easy to operate. When I am not using the record player for vinyls, I am using it simply as a speaker for music from my phone. It is very easy to connect and use throughout the day. Not a bad cost for the player, and definitely worth it in the end!

My 12-year-old has been really into vinyl lately, and I love that she's getting into something that feels a little more "classic" than just streaming everything. We got this Victrola record player in aqua turquoise, and it's been a hit. It's got that cool suitcase style, and it's pretty compact, so it doesn't take up a ton of space in her room. It has built-in speakers, which makes it super easy to use right out of the box. She absolutely loves this player. It's been great for her to explore different music and get a sense of the history of how people used to listen to music. It feels pretty durable for the price point, which is important with three kids around. My main concern with anything like this is if it will last, and so far, it seems like it will hold up to daily use. It's definitely worth it to see her so excited about music.

This Victoria has nice sound, is easy to operate and has a very nice case. Lovely color.

I bought this used! So I should’ve expected this. Right out of the package it looked brand new, as if it had just sat on someone’s table collecting dust. The twist ties were still in the original spots, so I was super happy since I got a good deal on it. Once I tried to play my records however, there was a very noticeable echo of the song that was playing. It was higher pitched and slightly ahead of the normal sound. It got louder as I turned up the volume as well, so I tried changing the needle and the problem persisted. I took it to 2 local record shops to see if they could figure it out and they were stumped. I think it may be a wiring issue or a problem with the speakers being out of sync. I was stoked that I would’ve been saving a used product from ending up in the landfill but it seems that’s where it’ll be heading anyway since it arrived damaged. I wish Amazon would’ve done a quality check before slapping it into a box to send to another poor customer. It was advertised as being in “like new” condition and only being opened, never truly used. So the fact that it arrived damaged was pretty disappointing. Really hoping it didn’t scratch my records as well.

Estoy contenta con el producto, pero amazon no cumplió con el plazo de entrega. Aunque me digan que no es culpa de Amazon, sinó de la empresa subcontratada, yo se lo compré a Amazon.

It's incredibly amazing and works perfectly fine. The seller was so helpful and absolutely trustworthy! It was a gift for my sister and she loved it Im thinking to get one for me as well.

It’s a great value for those getting into vinyl. It looks cool and plays LPs well. The speakers are decent for the size. It even has Bluetooth!

Very poor, like a child's toy
