Victrola Journey Bluetooth Portable Suitcase Record Player – with Built-in Speakers, 3 Speed Vinyl Record Player, RCA Out, Headphone Jack (Gray)

Easy to use, sound isnt great but was clear and good enough for a 50$ record player. I did not have trouble with skipping or needle arm weight as some other reviewers mentioned. Gave my Parents a Vanilla Fudge record to play with and they dug it.

This was perfect for my child who has recently got into vinyl collecting. This is a really great size for her room and easy for her to move around. They quality of sound is wonderful, the records play perfectly, and it is easy for her to use - especially as a first time user of a records and a record player! Very recommended for budding music lovers and explorers!

I bought the Victrola Journey Record Player a year ago along with a stack of records I hand-picked like I was building a tiny museum of my favorite music. I placed each vinyl with the gentleness of a Disney princess handling a fragile woodland creature. I watched the tutorials. I replaced the needle. I put in effort. And this record player said, “Cute. Now let me absolutely remix your life.” Every. Single. Record? Scratched. Every song? Skipped like it was dodging responsibilities. Every listening attempt? Turned into cardio. This thing scratched my vinyl like it was auditioning for a DJ residency in Ibiza. It committed so hard to the DJ lifestyle that I half expected it to ask me for a wristband and a glitter crop top. Too bad I never wanted to be a DJ, Victrola believed in a dream I didn’t even have. BUT it’s okay! Truly. Because whenever I buy CDs from local bands, I never have anywhere cute to put them. And THAT is where this little device redeemed itself. It is, without question, the cutest and most hardworking CD holder I have ever owned. A stunning piece of décor. A loyal little storage unit. Completely useless for vinyl, but absolutely thriving as furniture. So yes, I’m giving it five glowing stars: ⭐️ For its commitment to the Ibiza DJ aesthetic. ⭐️ For turning my records into percussion instruments. ⭐️ For keeping me humble. ⭐️ For looking adorable. ⭐️ And one extra star for being an excellent CD perch. Victrola, whenever you start making CD players, DM me immediately. I want first dibs on whatever chaos you create next.

First off before I write this review let me just say I did a lot of research on this kind of record player and even a few of my own experiments so i would consider what i found to be pretty credible. I wish someone wrote a review like this for me when I was considering buying it. #1 Is this a good record player for beginners or people who only want a few records to play for the aesthetic? Absolutely. The sound quality is meh, but I mean what do you expect for $40. It plays the records no problems, and the bluetooth is great for just whenever. Now here is how you can upgrade your setup with minimal spending. Get an RCA to mini jack cable. Plug that into a speaker you already have or if in my case you have a practice amp cause you play an instrument, get a mini jack to 1/4 converter and plug it into the amp! It works great! #2 Will this ruin my records? No. It will not. I made a little scale and using pennies weighed out the tracking force to be around 5g. Now compared to $200 record players that track at 3g this seems like a lot. But be aware, when records were made, they were made to withstand up to 7 or 8g of tracking force cause lots of old players tracked at around 5 or 6g. Now tracking heavier like this will yes, wear them out faster, but it will NOT ruin them! The needle is also a diamond, so the needle is pretty decent actually. Now you can actually fix the tracking force on this thing. Get a small scale, like the kind to bake with, put your tone arm on it, get some pennies and nickels and start stacking them at the back of the tone are where the counterweight should be. One your tone arm reads at about 3.5-4g. Take those coins, tape them together, and tape them to the back of that tone arm. Maybe even go for around 4-4.5g because in my experience these cheap ones skip very easily. #3 Is it portable? Absolutely not. You need to plug it into an outlet, and it could totally break with some throwing around. Also the lid is completely useless. I took the lid off by unscrewing the screws on the back hinges. The lid is NOT big enough even when open to run 12" vinyls. The edge is right under your record, like millimeters under, and if you have ANY warping, at all it will hit the edge and cause it to skip. This is likely the problem a lot of people have when it skips and just don't know it. Just take the lid off its useless. #4 Does it skip? Does it sound weird? No, not at all. I had it skip on me once, and after replaying that section it never did it again. Probably was just my fault since i accidentally tapped the vinyl I was playing when getting it out of the sleeve. Also I tested the wow and flutter using a phone app. Let me tell you that it is BAD, like the wow and flutter is REALLY HIGH. But, even so, I didnt notice ANY sort of distortion in the sound. It might be worse when playing above 33rpm but at least for 33, its fine. #5 Is it worth the price? 100% as long as you know what your getting. I didn't expect this player to be good or even great. Its okay at best and I'm fine with that cause its $40. If you are looking for a very nice player that delivers great sound quality, dont get this. If you want to really get into vinyl, dont get this. If you want to experience the most you can from your records, dont get this. If you want to just play a couple of records for cheap and have them in your room cause its cool and aesthetic, go ahead, im doin it for that exact reason. (Also, I purchased an amazon return and found no problems with it. Dont be afraid to purchase a used one for less, you can always return it if it is actually broken, but it will probably work anyway)

Good sound quality and stylish design that really fits the product. The price is fair, no need to highlight it. Overall, very satisfied with my purchase.

Estoy contenta con el producto, pero amazon no cumplió con el plazo de entrega. Aunque me digan que no es culpa de Amazon, sinó de la empresa subcontratada, yo se lo compré a Amazon.

It's incredibly amazing and works perfectly fine. The seller was so helpful and absolutely trustworthy! It was a gift for my sister and she loved it Im thinking to get one for me as well.

It’s a great value for those getting into vinyl. It looks cool and plays LPs well. The speakers are decent for the size. It even has Bluetooth!

Very poor, like a child's toy
