Realising that the turntable I once had no longer works. I decided to buy this record player purely to play records. Although I can connect it to speakers I decided to try it out using it's own built in speakers. They are fine and better than I imagined. The record player is easy to use. Plus the lightness and the small size really means that it fits on any small table. I guess the arm and the leaver could be easier to see. Especially when the light is poor and the whole thing is black. But it looks really good and sound is good. Now to make excuses why I bought that album back in the day.

I like being able to store it as its just so compact. Sound is very good. Has been nice and nostalgic listening to old records again. It has a lovely case and looks well made and sturdy. Comes with all cables and manual. Even came with a card in full colour about how to put the belt on if it came off during shipping which was easy to understand, however I didn't have any problems and it played straight out of the box.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for copying vinyl to mp3

It's very compact and does the job it's supposed to, & comes complete with a disc to load up "Audacity" editing program to your computer.The sound quality during and after copying to mp3 is weak without bass, so don't expect Hi Fidelity.This is probably due to a low end standard stylus & not going through a pre-amp with EQ adjustments.But having said all of that, the unit is very cheaply priced and does the job it should, in a straight forward easy way - so my feeling is, some music is better than no music.If you require listening to your rare precious vinyl the way it was mastered, then I suggest buying a better quality deck and put it through a decent amp.

A nice little record player if you are looking for something that's not going to take up any space and portable too. The sound on this is adequate and a great first record player. Easy to operate so I would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product but records too loud (easy to fix)

C. · 24 June 2021

I bought this because I’m a music producer who loves flipping samples found on charity shop records. This is perfect for what I need it to do.The sound quality from the built in speakers isn’t the best, but at £45 it’s absolutely fantastic. The build quality also seems perfectly acceptable.The main issue I had with this was the actual recording of the samples - using Logic Pro, it recorded far too hot and the vinyls were clipping regardless of what I did. There is an easy fix to this though!Using a MacBook Pro, in “system” and “sound”, you can manually change the input volume, which prevents all clipping and allows you to record at the exact level you need!For anyone who bought this so that they could simply convert their vinyls to a digital format, this will also work for you!If you find that the recordings you’ve made are clipping (too loud and making a nasty distorted sound), change your input volume before you record your vinyls.Overall this is a fantastic product for the price, though it is worth mentioning that by default, it does record too loud.Hope this helped someone!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Piece of Kit

A.K. · 1 August 2023

I’d been wanting to buy a portable record player for ages and as I was given some Bolo vouchers as a gift, decided this is what I’d spend them on.After a bit of on-line research, I chose this model and I couldn’t be happier.It looks great and sounds terrific.I have so many records from when I was a teenager in the 70’s and now I can listen to them all over again.This record player is perfect for me. It’s so simple to use.It’s just what I wanted.

The media could not be loaded. This is the worst record player I’ve ever heard only had it 3 days and the speakers are cracking already. Buy for a cheap price buy it twice!!!
