Clear instructions with easy setup. I haven’t used the Bluetooth, but the sound through the line out has been good. I have a slight crackle noticeable during quiet moments that I can’t seem to get rid of through weight adjustments, enabling anti skate, or cleaning. Still would recommend as I feel this is something I can figure out with time.

Amazing turntable for getting back into vinyl. This record player is amazing and for it's price this is one of the rare times you get a really good made product for very little money. This turntable is far better than the entry level Audio Technica's that don't really over anti-skate or adjustable counterweights. It has good springy feet and a heavy base to dampen vibrations, the cartridge and needle are Audio Technica and can be upgraded, the patter is heavy enough. I was a kid in the 1980s and was exposed to record players, my parents had an expensive Kenwood setup so I know how good vinyl can sound and this player from Best Buy doesn't disappoint. The description says it comes with an extra belt but mine came with one pre-installed on the platter and then two extra in bags along with the instruction booklet. I previously had owned two Victrola suitcase bluetooth players and those things are terrible, sure around Christmas you can find them for as lil as $25 but what good are they when most of your records will not play without constant skipping. I had paid nearly $50 for Rammstein's new album and thought I had a defective record set until I got this player this past Christmas, now I can hear it exactly as it was meant to play. Best Buy and their Insignia brand aren't getting enough credit with this turntable. if you're thinking of getting back into vinyl or know someone in your life younger that's looking to get into it for the first time, this is worth it. Pass on the Audio Technica entry level turntables that have no counterweights, they're more expensive than this Insignia turntable and yet don't sound as good or have as many features. Great job Best Buy, I'm very pleased with my Christmas gift to myself and am now telling everyone I know to pick up one of these. Thanks for putting a quality turntable out that doesn't cost closer to $500.

This is an awesome value for the price. Most turntables at this price are filled with gimmicks such as built in radios, but this one focuses on being a turntable. The instructions provided in the box were super helpful and it sounds awesome! The only thing I don’t understand is why include the Bluetooth connectivity. It’s not an issue since we still have the standard AUX output, but I feel as if sending it over digital Bluetooth signals would defeat the whole point of an analog medium(like a record player) in the first place.

Turntable was packed well, however there was obvious visible scratch on the top of the plastic lid. Appears that manufacturer has poor quality control and let this unit pass for shipping to customer. Called customer service and they arranged to ship another unit. Second unit also had chipped plastic but on the rear of the lid that is not obvious. Unit sets up fairly easy and works well on two vinyl records I tested with. Would of given 5 stars if not for the poor quality control for the lid.

I am sure that fanatic audiophiles will turn up their noses at this turntable, but it is a godsend for those of us who built LP collections in our youth and want to keep our collection in good shape without spending a small fortune. It can connect to a receiver via RCA cable, or to bluetooth speakers for those who don't have a receiver or believe in everything bluetooth. It also has its own 3.5 mm headphone jack (which I doubt I will ever use). I really like that it has a switch allowing connection to a receiver that does not have a dedicated phono jack, if my elderly receiver with such a jack ever dies. The limitations are ones I can easily live with in return for good quality at a reasonable price. The stylus obviously is not "high end," but is much better than in those that come with typical all-in-one systems or cheap "retro" boxes, and the adjustable tracking weight will keep my LP's in good condition (to the extent they still are). It is semi-automatic rather than full automatic, but I can put the needle on the record so long as it shuts itself off automatically at the end. (Unlike my old turntables, the power apparently does not turn off completely when the turntable stops spinning; the speed control has an "off" position to avoid standby power when not in use). It takes a little bit of care to assemble the stylus and tracking weight, but the instructions on how to do so were detailed and clear.

Amazing quality! Simple setup, works with traditional analog speakers or Bluetooth. Great quality as well!

The insignia bluetooth turntable is an amazing turntable! If you’re a beginner, this is definitely a great go to! One problem I have with it, however, is that even the slightest touch while it’s playing can cause it to skip. Other than that, if you leave it alone, it plays just fine! I wish the dust cover was a clearer color, but other than those minor things, amazing turntable!

Great turntable on a budget! I have had this about a month or two and I have yet to have problems with it. I easily paired this with some insignia speakers and it was perfect for casual listening.

Got this as a Christmas gift. Easy to setup out of the box. Connected effortlessly with Bluetooth and the sound quality is good

Very easy to use. Good audio quality. Convenient bluetooth technology. Felt was creased and so needed to be addressed before use.

As someone who was gifted a "suitcase record player", and having used it occasionally, I knew that if I wanted to truly start getting into vinyl, I needed an upgrade. And after a few hours scrolling online, I finally found this one. And even better, I found it while it was on sale for ~$50. At that price, it's an absolute steal. It's very easy to set up thanks to good instructions, and the parts are very respectable, especially the actual Audio-Technica stylus. I would recommend buying a better turntable slip mat, however, since the one it comes with is felt and will sometimes get stuck to records. But even with that, it's not necessary to upgrade it, and for the average person, the slip mat is no biggie. I cannot recommend this turntable enough. Especially if you can get it on sale.

Great turntable for this price. Easy bluetooth connection. May be a bit sensitive but have not worked with the balance yet. Good value.

This Bluetooth turntable may not be a first choice for the sophisticated audiofile but for my purposes it was the perfect choice. I was looking for a simple way to listen to my collection of old vinyl records. The turntable can be used as a stand alone component when used with a Bluetooth speaker or headphone. Connected easily and delivered clear crisp sound. Minor assembly required but very easy to get set up.

This is a pretty decent and functional turntable. I wanted something to dip my toe in the water of vinyl. I’m realizing there’s a lot in making a vinyl sound good. This unit works. Its Bluetooth connects reliably to my Sonos Roam, which allows me to conveniently cast/stream on the rest of my Sonos devices. I’ve been finagling with the counterweight and anti-skate functions and I think I figured out how to reliably play records. I’m going to go ahead and assume there is better though, even if its at a higher price point, hence the four stars. I had wanted to get a sleeker looking name brand for a but more that wouldn’t ship and seems to be out of stock everywhere. However, i’m pleased with this unit.

I wanted a basic turntable without breaking the bank. This in house brand of Best Buy did the trick. Easy to follow instructions and I had the system up and running. Blue Tooth option was an added plus. My local Best Buy didn't have in stock but I bought online.

For a beginner, this seems great. And as a novice, it took some googling but the instructions get you on the right direction at least. Having an extra belt was nice too.

Very good starter turntable for a good price. Especially for one with a bent tonearm and an adjustable counterweight - a lot at this price range won't have either.

Although I sold my large Lp collection decades ago, I retained a few favorites that were unlikely to be found on cd. Unfortunately my fine turntable needed a new belt. No longer available. And my new receiver lacked a phone preamp. The Insignia turntable solved both problems at half the price of the cheapest Audio Technica. I withheld the 5th star because the instructions to set up the weight and anti-skating adjustments were confusing. I got lucky and seemed to have found the proper settings pretty much by chance,
