This a great record player for any regular collector that just wants something simple. It’s very easy to setup and get right into listening. This specific one is Bluetooth compatible so it makes it so much more easier to setup. Has a nice clear dust cover that sort of makes your vinyl look cool. I enjoy it for its simplicity, build quality, and its look it’s just modern and sleek.

After my last one broke, I wanted to get another one that is simple to use. I think this is a really good turntable. It’s easy to put together, to use and connect through Bluetooth. The records sound really good. For the discount that I bought it for, I feel like I got a really good turntable for a really great price.

I grew up with vinyl records in the 60’s and 70’s. Using the same records played on the Audio-Technica Fully Automatic Wireless Belt-Drive Turntable with Bluetooth sounds so much better. I already had a bluetooth speaker so all I needed was this turntable. If you do not have a Bluetooth speaker you will need to purchase one to listen to the albums on. I love that I can have my turntable in one room and my speaker in another. My old records never sounded better. The sound of the vinyl does not have the same sound at all and some of the albums are worn a bit but it doesn’t matter with this turntable.
This turntable’s footprint is small. It has a removable lid making it easy to put on my albums or 45’s. It comes with a thing to put on your 45 records just like the old record players. I had no problem syncing the Bluetooth speaker to the turntable. It was so simple. I do have a good quality speaker though. I have two speakers but have not tried to connect both at the same time yet. I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work though. I love this turntable and the sound of my old music is better than digital older music.

High quality record player with a great sound and bluetooth was easy to set up. Very good for casual listening and the automatic arm is very convenient!

I purchased the Audio-Technica LP70XBT as a Christmas gift and it was a huge hit. The sound quality is excellent—clear, warm, and well-balanced—and the Bluetooth connectivity makes it incredibly easy to use. As a first-time vinyl player purchase, this was a great choice: easy to set up, well-built, and very user-friendly, yet it still delivers impressive sound. It performs far beyond its price point and is perfect for beginners and vinyl lovers alike.

As a first time owner of a record player, this Audio Technica has been fantastic. The ease of use combined with superior build quality and Bluetooth connectivity make this a no-brainer purchase to me. Highly recommend!

Being a gray-haired senior, I’ve been around long enough to remember when playing vinyl records on a turntable was the norm and your only other alternatives to listen to quality hi-fidelity music was either FM radio or a reel-to-reel tape deck. Nothing was more exciting than to run down to the local record or department store to get the latest cellophane-wrapped Beatles LP, found alphabetized by artist in the racks of records! Fast-forward to the present day and it’s interesting to note that turntables physically haven’t really changed all that much, but how they connect is a different story. The Audio-Technica AT-LP70XBT turntable gives you the option to connect to a stereo receiver either the old-fashioned way using RCA-jack cables (included), or by connecting via the newer wireless Bluetooth technology. Using Bluetooth means you basically don’t really need a receiver at all…so you can connect directly to any Bluetooth audio device, including wireless headphones, earbuds, or speakers. Making the connection using Bluetooth is as simple as putting your listening device in pairing mode, then pressing and holding the Bluetooth button on the turntable for two seconds. I discovered that the switch on the rear of the turntable needs to be set to “Line/Aux” when using Bluetooth. If you connect using the RCA cables to a stereo receiver and it has “Phono” inputs, then this switch needs to be set to “Phono”. That’s it, couldn’t be simpler! Also make sure when connecting to a receiver that you connect the ground wire, or you will hear a horrible humming sound. To make it easy, the ground wire is conveniently part of the RCA cable. I didn’t see any mention of this in the instructions.
The turntable was an easy setup right out of the box. Of course, having prior experience with turntables was a bonus in my case. Fortunately, the instructions should be able to quickly guide you effortlessly through the setup process. About the only other thing I found missing in the instructions was how to install the dust cover, but it’s easy to figure out without too much trouble and it’s pretty self-evident how it attaches.
The operation and features of the turntable itself are basic and unlike higher end equipment, there’s nothing to adjust and that’s probably a good thing for most people just wanting to listen to records. There’s no fussing with things like adjusting tonearm balance, anti-skating force, or platter speed. Those are things best left to audiophiles who are likely to spend thousands of dollars on expensive high-end turntables. I found the tonearm works smoothly and quietly with simple start and stop button controls. With the AT-LP70XBT model, you need to lift the dust cover for button access, while some of the other Audio-Technica models have buttons on the front of the turntable. I’m not sure which is better, but I think I like the cleaner look of the AT-LP70XBT better. While the phono cartridge is fixed on the tonearm and can’t be upgraded, at least the stylus can be replaced if and when it wears out or becomes damaged in transport. There is a clip on the tonearm support to lock it down for obvious safety reasons when moving the turntable, not only to protect the stylus but also your precious vinyl records if they happen to be left on the turntable.
It plays the standard LP record albums at 33 1/3 RPM and comes with an adapter to play 45 RPM records. There is a selector lever switch at the base of the tonearm to select record size, so it’s important to set that switch to 7” when playing 45 RPM records or else the tonearm will set down on the felt platter. The normal setting is 12” for playing 33 1/3 RPM record albums.
It’s been years since I have listened to my record collection and it’s fun to hear them again, complete with pops and scratches from hours of playing with reckless abandon. Whether you’re young or old like me, the affordable and easy-to-use AT-LP70XBT turntable from Audio-Technica will bring your dusty old record collection back to life to enjoy once again.

This is an excellent turntable at this price point. I won't take off points for it lacking 78 speed since that setting is truly for audiophiles who happen to have those records. We paired it with the Edifier bookshelf bluetooth speakers and the sound is rich with a wide spectrum. (It did take a few tries to get them to connect; that might be more of an issue with the speakers than the turntable). I did find it odd that it didn't include an adapter for 45 rpm singles. (Maybe we lost it when we opened the box.)

The Audio-Technica AT-LP70BT has great quality and is very easy to use. The design looks clean and modern, and it worked perfectly right out of the box. A great choice for enjoying vinyl without complications.

I purchased this online as a Christmas present for my stepdad and picked it up in-store!
He loves music, so I figured this would be an awesome gift - which it really was. He also mentioned he used to have a record player when he was younger, so it brought some cool memories back! It looks great, we had no issues setting it up, and it sounds amazing (we hooked it up to our speaker system in the living room). Now, we will be starting our own vinyl collection.
I don’t know much about record players / turntables, but my stepdad is happy so I’ll take his word for it! So far 10/10 - would recommend + the Bluetooth feature? Love it :)
