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…

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Nothing here

Great for those who love vinyl

I won't lie, I bought this purely for aesthetic reasons. It looks almost exactly like the one my grandma had when she was a kid, just a little smaller. For a beginner when it comes to vinyl this is perfectly fine but as other reviews have said the lip on 33's (large 12' diameter vinyls) the lip is a bit uncomfortable, on 45's and 78's the lip isn't a worry. Everyone. The sound quality is good, the house doesn't fill up, but for an average room it's quite normal. If you're just starting out with

Pros
  • Headphone jack for private listening
Cons
  • Available in white only

Compatibility Issues

Compatibility Issues Let me first say that it was a pleasure working with the seller who sold us. Crossley not so much. This device is only compatible with Bluetooth 5.1 technology. So if you want to run it through the soundbar or any other device, it won't work if it's not compatible. Also, you can't use the auxiliary jack and plug into anything because the player won't work. You must connect the headphones to the accessory you are using in order for it to play. They don't tell you everything.

Pros
  • Ready to play with adjustable pitch control to fine tune your recordings
Cons
  • Long delivery time

not working: turntable

I ordered this pack on 5th August but wasn't home until the end of August and only attempted to use the turntable last week due to my shift schedule. I was very excited to hear some brand new records that I got extra because I knew I would have a turntable to play them. Unfortunately the player I received didn't work at all. I followed several Youtube tutorials to make sure I didn't miss any important steps. The player didn't spin, and as far as I know, the player didn't even turn on. I went to

Pros
  • RCA output allows Discovery to be easily connected to your existing stereo or speakers
Cons
  • Great price
