Review on Crosley CR8009A-DU Discovery Vintage Bluetooth 3-Speed Belt-Driven Suitcase Turntable in Dune Color by Molly Richards

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Extremely bad sound quality. Looks nice.

Basically, this product is a toy, or it can be used as a decoration. The sound quality is terrible. In fact, I had to buy a pair of $75 speakers just to get "subpar" sound quality. Records rub against the open lid during playback, causing speed (and tone) fluctuations. I also had to buy a rubber platter cover to keep the albums from sliding on the hard plastic surface of the platter and lift them high enough so they wouldn't rub against the case. Music sounds way better on your smartphone and 100x better on your headphones or Airpods. If you're hoping that listening to vinyl albums will reflect "what you were meant to hear," you're going to be extremely disappointed. The cheap Sears turntable I shared with my brothers in the 1980's sounded way better than this thing.
