Review on Versatile Vinyl Record Player: Bluetooth Enabled 🎡 with USB Vinyl to MP3 Encoding and Built-in Speakers by Bryan Sperling

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lots of features for your player today!

Surprisingly, this record player is actually a good old "record player" too. It has its own (very poor, inferior) amplifier and stereo speakers if you really need it to play solo. But. I would very rarely use the internal amp and speakers. It has standard RCA jacks for right and left line out cables to your "Hi-Fi" or "Stereo" amplifier and much better speakers you probably already have. Use it. Or. This does an amazing job of sending a Bluetooth signal to whatever you have that can receive it. My daughter has a "soundbar" with a subwoofer on the TV that supports Bluetooth (she plays her MP3s from her iPhone through the soundbar). This player transmits everything it can receive via Bluetooth and plays very well on the TV soundbar. Most large flat screen TVs these days come with a "soundbar" that you can buy to match - Walmart's "TCL" TVs have a great sound system that you can buy. And this player connects to play stereo in amazingly high quality! This player connects via Bluetooth, but it took a long time to find and connect. But when plugged in, the turntable did a great job of streaming music to the soundbar via Bluetooth. Another odd feature is that this player accepts Bluetooth input from your "device" and can play music through its own amplifier and computer speakers. But. why would anyone do that? The internal amplifier and speakers are definitely of poor sound quality. Another (and BEST) feature: MP3s are created and stored on any USB stick! That's why I bought this turntable! I can save all my old MP3 rock 'n' roll recordings to a USB drive and transfer them to my computer or anywhere else! It takes practice to time them to start and end when you want (or you'll have to edit them later on the computer). But there is a button on the player to start and stop recording mp3 to USB, so everything works fine. LAST AMAZING FEATURE: IT WILL PLAY THE 78S! It's hard to find a turntable that plays 78 RPM records! I have a lot of stuff from my parents and even my youth that I want to keep in MP3 format. When I was about 6 years old, we had an old 78 RPM record player/cassette player/radio at home that we could RECORD at 78 RPM! I have children's and family 78rpm records that are priceless, and now I can play them (and make MP3s) again!
