With its various features and user-friendly design, it promises an enjoyable and customizable listening experience. This classic and understated turntable from a trusted name in audio is a small step up from entry-level, but manages to blend easy setup, sound quality, room to grow and features with a palatable price tag.

The best-sounding turntable is one you enjoy listening to. Some people prefer the rich, authentic quality of an older turntable. However, many of the newest turntables bring you that same sound, but with a bunch of new features and a more reliable experience. Easy setup and convenient features: Changing speeds is easy with a dedicated button. It also has a an automatic start and stop. Despite newer record players with integrated Bluetooth streaming entering the market (even hi-res wireless options like the Cambridge Audio Alva TT V2) this Sony continues to deliver the best combination of performance for a Bluetooth model, and for a very affordable price, too. Some of the best turntables in our list also come with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity baked in, so they’ll work with audio tech or smart home devices you already own, like the best wireless speakers and the best headphones to upgrade your at-home listening experience. You’re expecting wireless to match wired: It sounds better hard-wired, no two ways about it. But that's always going to be the case.Then again, if you want a more high-end performance from the get-go, take a look at the Pro-Ject Carbon Evo at the top of our guide. But, as we wrote in our review: "If you want a turntable that just works, looks good, and can be upgraded later, the Fluance RT81 is the turntable for you." We like the TechPlay ODC35BT RED record player because it combines the nostalgia of vinyl records with the convenience of modern technology. The built-in Bluetooth technology allows users to connect wirelessly to their music players, such as iPhones, Samsung devices, or other smart devices. This feature enables effortless streaming of digital music libraries, adding a new dimension to the listening experience.

Finding the best record player for you can seem confusing, but there are some key details you need to consider when choosing your next turntable. The Victrola 50’s Retro Bluetooth Record Player is a great option for beginners and vintage enthusiasts alike. It combines the charm of a retro design with modern features, making it a valuable addition to any music lover’s collection. The Lenco LS-410 is an all-in-one turntable: it has four built-in speakers, so you can listen to your vinyl without a single other thing needed. And it has Bluetooth built-in so that you can also use it as a wireless speaker, and actually the sound is pretty chunky and nice for that. Sonically, you can do better though. As we said in our review: "This isn’t the most dynamic sound you ever heard, for sure, but neither is it the most inhibited. And when it’s put into proper context, the LS-410 is a perfectly likeable and periodically quite impressive Bluetooth speaker. ' It depends what you're comparing it to. But yes, vinyl sounds better than lossy and compressed MP3 files. Vinyl also tends to sound better than CDs because records are an end-to-end analog format.Victrola Retro Bluetooth Record Player and Multimedia Center – Built-in Speakers, 3-Speed Turntable, CD Player, Radio, Vinyl to MP3 Recording, Wireless Music Streaming (Red) The Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT is our top budget choice, and an excellent option for beginners. Setting it up is fairly straightforward, but does require some assembly. You can use it with a wired connection to speakers or headphones, or wirelessly via Bluetooth. With a built-in phono equalizer function, Audio-Technica says that you can use the AT-LP60XBT without a “phono amplifier or connectable equipment with a built-in phono amplifier”. You can also use it with your own external phono amplifier if you prefer. Once setup is complete, though, the sound the Pro produces simply astonishes. If you've ever heard of vinyl described as "warm," this is definitely not that. When paired with a decent system, a high-quality turntable like the Pro-Ject should sound as good as, if not better, than the equivalent digital file. Through testing, I found the Debut Pro has a way of making even well-worn records sound hi-fi with plenty of high-end detail, an expressive midrange and surprisingly deep bass. If your music needs some pep -- if your records make you sleep rather than dance -- this player is a great way to energize your system. The downside to the Pro-Ject's enthusiastic presentation is that with the "wrong" record, the sound could become a little fatiguing. Ultimately, new turntables are more advanced than older turntables, but it all comes down to your preferences. Are high-end turntables worth it?
