Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome budget turntable. I’m new to vinyls and I did a lot of research for a good vinyl that wouldn’t break the bank. This was definitely a great deal. Apart from the great aesthetics, it sounds amazing, and I paired them with the Insignia bookshelf speakers (another budget but good option). The sound is crystal clear and sounds more full than what you hear on your normal AirPods. Only thing I’d say, look up how to tune the belt speed on YouTube, I noticed when I first took it out that it was playing at about 5-10% faster than it should have been, but it’s a quick easy fix. This is way better than any of those brief case vinyl players that often damage your records. If you’re new, but want a good turntable that will sound good and last a long time, this is a great option.

I was a little hesitant to buy this turntable at first because of the negative reviews about it skipping and some not even getting it to play but I have had zero issues with the setup, I hooked it up to a couple insignia bookshelf speakers I purchased at Best Buy at the same time and it sounds fantastic. If it gets shaken even a little it will skip, like when I’ve walked too hard and too close to the table its sitting on it skips a few seconds but I think that’s more my fault because I have it on an end table that’s not really well balanced. If I’m not near the turntable its fine so I know its me and will be putting it on a more stable platform in the next few days so I’m sure I’ll have absolutely no problem then. I should also mention that I had been using a Crosley Deluxe suitcase record player prior to buying this and if you’re still using one of those or are debating between whether to buy one of those for $40 or spend the extra coin on this one, don’t even think about it and buy this one. I have run speakers that cost 4 times the amount of the Crosley on it and it doesn’t matter, the difference between this one and the Crosley is night and day. This sounds amazing, still has that full sound with just a slight, barely audible crackle of vinyl, whereas the Crosley is kind of a mess. Even on great speakers it just doesn’t sound right, where this one sounds gorgeous on a pair of $70 speakers. If you’re looking to get into vinyl, committed the sin of buying a suitcase record player, or you just want a turntable without killing your budget, this is the one to get. As a side note, some very minor setup is required, but nothing crazy. Basically just attaching to the belt to the motor, but it takes 3 seconds. You won’t regret it.

I wanted to dip my toes into the world of vinyl and didn't want to spend a ton of money. This player hit all the check boxes for what I wanted. Good price, pre Amp, fully automatic, belt driven and a name I have heard of. Set up was simple, and it hooked up to receiver with no problems. Listening to a record is as easy as load and push start. It sounds just fine and harkens me back to listening to records when I was a kid.

I recently got my Audio-Technica turntable, and I couldn't be happier with it! The sound quality is exceptional, capturing every detail of my vinyl records with clarity and warmth. Setting it up was a really easy, and the build quality is solid, giving me confidence in its durability. Whether I'm listening to jazz, blues, or soul, this turntable delivers an authentic, rich listening experience that brings my music collection to life. If you're looking for a reliable and high-performing turntable, I highly recommend Audio-Technica!

First purchase and it plays and sounds good and it’s simple to use. For the price ain’t bad.

Decided to upgrade from a suitcase record player (it never played records right, everything sounded distorted and fuzzy), and wow... the sound quality is INSANE!! Keep in mind that this one does not have Bluetooth and you will need to buy your own speakers to connect with very specific audio cords. I used a pair I already had that were nice but I'm sure the quality of your speakers have to do with how good the sound is as well. Otherwise, a fantastic intro record player that might look simple but is so much more worth it than those god awful suitcase record players.

I've used a few other cheap record players and this one absolutely blows them away. I have it hooked up to a cheap $30 amp and it sounds amazing through my speakers. It plays like a more expensive player for sure...I guess maybe they are able to offer it at a slightly lower price due to some assembly being required. Only real issue is there's not really any options in terms of balance/weight/etc. Really good price, looks cool and kinda retro, and it's super easy to put together.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the Audio Technica automatic turntable. Its fully automatic belt-drive design made playing my vinyl collection effortless and reliable. The stereo sound delivered by this turntable was immersive and captured the essence of my favorite albums. With the ability to play both 33-1/3 and 45 rpm records, I had no shortage of options to keep the music going. The dual magnet phono cartridge provided rich audio quality, and the diamond stylus ensured longevity and exceptional playback. I also appreciated the hinged detachable dust cover, which kept my vinyl records protected. Overall, the Audio Technica automatic turntable provided an exceptional listening experience and a convenient way to enjoy my music collection

This is a fully functional, user friendly, great sounding turntable. It looks great, works perfectly, fits most budgets. I haven’t had a turntable for 15 years, and this one makes it very fun and easy to share my old records with friends. I got a very serviceable pre-amp for $25 (make sure you get one if your amp doesn’t have one built in).

I have had a chance to use this for a little while now, and recently added some new speakers to complete the setup. This record player was simple to set up, with the most difficult part being the ~3 seconds it took to connect the belt to the platter. I have a decent vinyl collection with new and old/vintage vinyls and all play smoothly and sound great on this player.

First of all, setup is simple and fast. The controls are easy to use, no complex settings needed. Most importantly, the sound output through the use of amplifier or receiver is great that any audiophile will love. I recommend this if you are looking for quality sound. Purchasing online from Best Buy and picking up in the store us no problem.

I'm delighted that the reviews are right - this is a stunningly good turntable for the money. It's very light, so my first thought was that it was "cheap", but the sound is terrific. Very easy to use. Unless you are an audiophile with a $10,000 system, there is no reason to buy anything else.

The Audio-Technica Stereo Turntable delivers a premium vinyl experience with its sleek black gunmetal design. Boasting exceptional sound quality, it seamlessly blends classic analog charm with modern features. The fully automatic operation and built-in preamp simplify setup, while the adjustable dynamic anti-skate control ensures precise tracking. A fantastic addition for vinyl enthusiasts, providing a delightful combination of style and performance at an accessible price point

This is an amazing record player! It is super easy to use and provides a great record-listening experience! It allows for either Bluetooth or plug-in speakers (need to be bought separately). The sound quality with my plug-in speakers is really good!

Great deal, little lightweight but good price, good sound, love the auto start/stop and an upgradeable stylus. Preamp built in makes it easy to hook up to almost anything.

Works great! None of my vinyls have been scratched and it sounds amazing hooked up with my speakers.

I’m loving this player, it’s got both great quality and a super intuitive design. Super easy to connect to my existing sound system, plus there is also a version with Bluetooth if that’s what you prefer. The upgrade this is from my old suitcase style player cannot be overstated. If you have a suitcase style player and care about the life of your records or the quality of their sound, this is an incredible next step in your vinyl journey.

I have so many vinyls and found this turntable at Best Buy is a great finding. The quality is bult to last and easy to use. The price is affordable and recommend this product.

This player is just great. I love how it was designed. It’s got a great look and quality. Easy to use. Highly recommended. Worth every penny

I just recently got into vinyl, and this unit is awesome!! Great price, quality, and performance!! Easily connected to my surround sound system. I previously bought a suitcase player and all it did was skip. I returned it bought this one and I have had absolutely zero issues
