Incredible sound. This was easy to setup I replaced this with one of those portable vinyl record players that broke on me. The price, brand reputation and reviews was what sold me. I like the fact I can just hit start and the record arm automatically loads on to the vinyl. The Bluetooth connection was very easy to connect to my home theater soundbar . Must buy for anyone getting into vinyl but don’t want to spent too much

I picked up the Audio-Technica AT-LP70XBT as a way to ease back into vinyl, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with it. Right out of the box, setup was super simple. I had it unboxed, plugged in, and spinning records in under 10 minutes. The instructions were clear, and everything I needed was included.
The built-in preamp is a huge win—I was able to hook it up to my powered speakers with zero hassle. And the Bluetooth? Works like a charm. I paired it to a soundbar and even some wireless headphones just to test it, and the connection was rock solid every time. No dropouts, no weird lag.
Sound-wise, it’s exactly what I was hoping for. Clean, full, and surprisingly detailed for a turntable in this price range. I’ve played everything from older jazz records to newer 180g pressings, and it handles both really well. Definitely a step up from the more basic models out there.
Aesthetically, it looks great too. The black and silver design is clean and modern without being flashy, and it feels sturdy—not cheap or plasticky at all. It fits right into my setup and looks like it costs more than it does.
If you’re looking for a reliable, easy-to-use turntable with great sound and Bluetooth as a bonus, this is it. Whether you're new to vinyl or just want something that sounds great without getting too technical, the AT-LP70XBT is a fantastic pick.

I am a huge vinyl fan, been collecting since age 3, so 40 years! Wanted a player in my bedroom but it is so hard to find quality sounds these days. They just are not making products like they used to. Came across this ageless namesake and decided to try it out. Of course, speakers matter, but overall, a smooth, rich quality sound! I have it hooked up to the Edifier bookshelf speakers and the sound is divine! Jazz and blues put me straight into dreamland. I am extremely eclectic, however I lean towards the Blues, Jazz, Soul R&B, and Indie. I throw in some Pop, too. You can NOT have an AT player and miss the chance of blasting Whitney, MJ, Prince, or Mariah!

After existing in this world across six decades, I have owned many forms of media. Records, 8 tracks, cassettes, and CD's. After living through the heyday of all of those formats, I'll be the 1st to tell you that the compact disc is the greatest thing to ever happen to music on physical media. Period, stop, end of story.
As a child, I had many records, everything from "turn the page of the read along book at the sound of the bell" to popular artists of the time. My experience was that records skipped, popped, hissed, scratched easily, and as a child, were broken easily.
With that being said, I haven't owned a record player in over 35 years. I came into possession of my mother's old record collection a few years ago and after watching them collect dust I decided it would be fun to listen to some of them and see (now as an adult) what all the hype was about with everyone being on the vinyl comeback train.
After reading a lot of reviews, I chose this unit for its rating at the price point. It came with all the cables needed to easily connect to my home theater AV receiver. The instructions are fairly simple to read and understand. The assembly, including installing the drive belt (which was something I'd never done before) was not complicated.
I'd call the sound "pretty good" for what I remember records sounding like. I quickly realized that the sound produced is directly related to the condition of the record placed on it. The pristine ones sound pretty good (but nowhere close to the quality/clarity of CD) and the rough ones hiss and pop a lot.
I was however impressed that this player would play the old damaged records without skipping at the scratches. I'm including a picture of the damaged record. It didn't skip but it did hiss and pop a lot.
I then moved this unit from my home theater to the bedroom where I had the records stored and connected it to my blue tooth speaker. This was also easy to do and sounded just as good as it did with my AVR.
I'm giving this unit 4 stars because it is easy enough to use and produces good sound. I'm taking one star because I'm not convinced I wouldn't have gotten similar sound quality from a cheaper player as long as it would connect to my AVR. But in all honesty, I don't have another modern example to compare it to, only my memory of the 1970's and 80's.
I don't believe my misgivings are directly for this particular unit as much as it is for vinyl in general. For those young people that think they've discovered something great from the "vinyl revival" I can't wait to see what you think when you get around to the "CD revival" if it ever happens.
Long live physical media.... in every form available.

I love my new Bluetooth record player. It was easy to hook up and worked immediately. Now I can enjoy my nostalgic records and take me back in time :-)

Great bang for the buck. Able to change the stylus and cartridge. Paired it with edified speakers. Sounds great. Been using it at least 5-6x per week with multiple records. Previous record player scratched vinyls now it’s flawless

First Record player and its an absolute dream. We don't know much about them, but so far so good. Everything sounds great and the auto play is very nice. Blue tooth is a nice touch as well

Record player has everything an audio head needs! Works great with all my Bluetooth devices and sound quality is great on all my records. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Great tunable. I had an audio technica back in the day with some cheap bookshelf speakers and it was a great turntable but less than great sound from the speakers. Now I hook this up to my Samsung soundbar and it’s so loud and great quality.

Easy order, easy pickup, great product that the family is enjoying. Connected to our sound system with minimal effort, right out of the box. Sounds great!

It works really good! Pretty easy to set up as well. The employee that helped me did an amazing job explaining everything I needed to know about it which is greatly appreciated.

Great turntable, easy to put together, operate and connect the BT. The anti resonance not the best.
I wish it had an extra belt drive. Overall it is a GO for me
