Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got this from Beatbuy on a blackfriday deal. It is way more than expected. Great sound and features. It looks sleek and connects easily to blue tooth speakers

Though it is early as I've only had this for a month or so, I'm absolutely in love with it. Obviously hard to beat for the price... you're getting a "real" turntable with a belt, adjustable tone arm balance, a real AT cartridge, a full size dust cover, AND Bluetooth OUT?? Outstanding value. Sure, it's not an all in one deal with its own internal speakers. But more than half of those that advertise BT are hiding the fact that it has BT IN for its tiny little weak speaker setup, NOT out to your favorite BT setup. And there's SO many great BT available now. As well as RCA out. One very low level dislike, not a huge fan of the felt turntable mat. It's static-y, and sticks to records. So boo hoo, I have to go on Etsy and get a personalized cork and rubber one for $15. Woe is me :) Again just loving this, great turntable and a great price.

This was an easy to set up turntable with all the parts necessary inside. After playing records while owning it for 2 years, I haven’t had any issues with it. Haven’t noticed any scratches on any albums either. The only annoying thing is pairing it with a speaker that’s not dedicated to use with the turntable. I use one that I also connect to my phone sometimes, so switching the source to pair to (speaker, headphones) isn’t the easiest, but once they’re paired the first time it gets better. I do find that I have to turn off Bluetooth on my other devices first (phone, laptop). It does have an “output” jack so I could even plug in my wired headphones for great sound. I bought this on sale for just over 50% off, but it’s still worth it at full price, especially compared to other pricy record players and cheaper ones that have a history of scratching records and can’t be closed all the way while one is spinning.

I grew up listening to albums but never jumped on the vinyl revival—until now. After picking up a few free records, I decided to give it a shot and this Insignia turntable has been fantastic. Easy setup, solid build, and it sounds great whether I’m using Bluetooth or wired speakers. I’m already a dozen albums deep into rebuilding my collection, and this player has made it a fun, seamless experience. Perfect starter table with just the right mix of classic feel and modern convenience.

Sound quality is good and it has a decent number of features like built-in phono amp and Bluetooth. But the build quality of certain components like the head-shell of the tone arm, and the latch on the tone arm and the mechanism to lift and lower the tone are flimsy. Also the motor and drive seem noisy, and stiffness of the platter mat can raise up the records. Overall

Very good turntable for the money. It does not have high end sound, however I was surprised how good my vinyl sounds on it. It is solid built with thick plastic, moving magnet cartridge, die-cast aluminum platter, and it’s Bluetooth that connected to my Sony Bluetooth headphones. This is not a turntable for the serious audiophile and cannot compete with the likes of Denon or Technics but for the day to day, it’s fine.

For the price this is a very good turntable. It paired easily to my blue tooth speakers. It sounds very crisp and distortion free at most loudness levels. The adjustible counterweight and antiskate control along with the ability to replace the cartridge originally sold me on the purchase. It also sounded excellent when it was connected to my receiver. A real plus.

This record player is awesome! Technology has come along to make nostalgia much easier. It is bluetooth, so I connected it to my theater surround system...WOW! Sounds awesome while spinning my old vinyl. Bringing back many memories while enjoying the hassle free convienient hook-up. Highly reccomend to anyone who has a box of records sitting in a corner somewhere. Time to blow the dust off!

Extremely happy with this turnable works very well with my 1981 SA- 103 Technics receiver setup I have. What matter to me as that it came with audio Technica magnetic cartridge and spare belt and cables . The price is just right. I grew up in 1970 . My older lps are great along with the new 180 grams LP too. Very easy to use and having fun again.

My experience with this turntable started out mostly positive, but after a few months of use, there were a few quirks that put it into a lower rating. Pros: - AT3600L cartridge - Counterweight and anti-skate - 33/45 switch without a belt change - Easy to pair bluetooth Cons: - Sometimes the arm doesn't drop until you give it a little shove (soft drop mechanism seems to jam) - Platter gets confused and doesn't spin up when the arm is out of the arm rest. Requires a few tries of powering off and on to get it to snap out of it. With that said, at a discounted price, it's still a decent turntable and a huge upgrade over a suitcase type turntable.

I was able to buy this at a great price, so took a gamble. Turntable seems well constructed , tone arm and AudioTechnica cartridge are better than expected at this price. Easy to set up and calibrate. Set tracking force at 2.5 grams instead of 3.5 and seems to do just fine. After about 10-12 hour break-in period for cartridge and stylus, sound quality noticeably improved (This is common for any new cartridge/stylus) . Bluetooth connectivity went well, no problems.Only complaint is a very slight "buzz" from motor. It doesn't carry through to the speakers, and seems to be diminishing over time/use. Using this in my Tiki Bar and is a great addition to my sound system. My guests love putting on old "Exotica" albums from the 60's. This is one of 4 turntables I own (they = $$$$$) /Very happy with this for the price.

Awesome entry to mid level TT. Built in pre amp with an awesome upgrade path if you are interested in the future. Can’t beat the price of a manual record player with a counter weight.

First, I don't give 5 star unless it's absolutely flawless. This gets my highest recommendation of 4 stars because of a few things. I got it on deal of the day for $80 a month ago. I will start by saying that it has anti-skate and an adjustable counterweight which are needed to get the proper sound. The stylus it comes with is not bad either (it can be upgraded fairly cheaply). If you're on a really tight budget, the fact it has a preamp so you don't need a phono input on a receiver is a plus as well. Or you have the option of 3.5mm headphone jack (I tried it with my Audio-Technica ATH-M50X headphones and the sound is great). I haven't tried bluetooth with it, but I'm sure it's good enough...I personally don't believe you will get the best sound that way. If you are just starting out and want a turntable that won't break the bank and has a few possible upgrades, this is the one. The Sony PS-LX310BT and Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT (or non-BT) aren't worth the extra money over this one. You need to step up to about the $300 range to really get something that's worth it compared to this one (Fluance RT82 for instance). The cover dust cover feels very cheap. The overall build is pretty cheap, but decent enough. There are a lot of things that I could nitpick but again, I paid $80 plus tax...it's just a a value at that price. I look forward to a few years of use out of this before I upgrade to something that costs about 4-5 times as much. Currently I'm running this with a Sony STR-DH190 and a pair of old B&W DM 601 S2's. Also have an older Energy ESW-C10 subwoofer to go with it. The sound is great. I will be returning the Sony receiver though and finding something else that has a little more power and a sub out.

Works well, easy set up and great sound. So glad I purchased this player. Easy to connect to bluetooth. Weight is easy to set and my album that skipped with my previous player plays through. So happy.

Table has good balance and is easy to use. I did upgrade the needle because the one on the player wasn't good quality. Replacing the needle wasn't too hard, but time consuming. The Bluetooth connection works well.

0verall a stellar sounding turntable with counterweight and anti-skate adjustments generally unseen in this price range. Certainly much higher sonic quality than the suitcase turntables that flood the market. Instructions for adjusting the counterweight are somewhat unclear. I'm not savvy to compare to expensive turntables that appeal to the pristine audiophile. I have neither the system nor the interest to be in that class. The Insignia is solid enough, is audibly balanced with good bass and treble, and is worthy of digitizing old and vintage vinyl to wav. The line output is somewhat low but ample. It's a Best Buy in-house brand. Sometimes Best Buy lowers prices on certain items for a very short period with hardly any advertising. With only minutes to go I snagged it at a ridiculously low price. Nevertheless, it's a value at standard rate.

It is very speed accurate... the removable cartridge is nice. Cons: A lot to list here.... Yes you can put an Ortofon Red on this but you'll notice that it sounds like it's scraping the record a lot at sections because it is The counterweight is annoying to use but it works.... it's just a bit more annoying than a $399 turntable... but then it costs 1/3 the price, so... Bluetooth is quite bad. It really doesn't sound very good The grounding lines on the cartridge are connected. You should not do this and expect it to be good. The head doesn't remove so you can swap it or easily put in the cartridge. Pros: It's very speed accurate. I'll give it that. The center spindle lets you stack a few records on it, which is good Sound is fine coming from it. Not that bad but I wish the connectors for the cartridge were better. I noticed mine just popped off on one of them one day. I mean, it's $129 so if you need a budget turntable, it's not horrible. It's better than the generic cheap ones at Target. The speed accuracy is really good on this. Many reviewers saying this and I completely agree. If you're a stickler (as I am) for this, you won't be disappointed. But I didn't like how it worked with my Ortofon Red cartridge constantly scraping on the record to where I couldn't keep the lid down without hearing it... But if you're looking for an amazing player, save up a little and get the $399 Audio Technica model. Bluetooth on that has AptX if you want bluetooth. For a teenager who casually listens to records, this turntable is fine. But it's really a starter one. Don't expect it to be amazing even though it has a counterweight and removable cartridge. You'll be disappointed.

This thing is actually amazing... I'm not sure of the negative reviews.. (The ones where setup is difficult?) This sets up very easy, but I have setup many turntables in my time so maybe it's difficult for people who have not had to put the platter on and and adjust the counterweight etc ever before. (The ones where missing or defective packed item?) If you returned to store, or exchanged for properly working one, then I'm also not sure if that warrants a negative review. I got one that was clean and perfectly funtioning. Bluetooth setup/connection no problems with Sonos Roam and other Bluetooth speakers. I'm super impressed with the quality of this for the price. Snatch this up before someone catches on!! My only suggestion for improvement in the future is to add 78 rpm capability. I would pay extra for that.

Smaller footprint, works great and easy to use for our first record player

Solid turntable for the price. Easy to setup, sounds nice. I would recommend to any person looking for a good turntable for a great price.
