Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this unit because my wife wanted to experiment in vinyl. I wanted something that could do more than just play records, so I appreciated that this unit also had a CD player, radio, and Bluetooth as advertised features (we don't have any cassettes). The overall build quality is decent, and we VERY much appreciated the mid-century aesthetic FAR more than the other faux-antique design options Victrola has to offer (to us, their Aviator and Navigator models look cheap and ridiculous more than anything nostalgic). The speaker quality is decent for an all-in-one unit; it lacks deep bass, but can still fill a larger living room without issue. CD Player, radio, and Bluetooth all functioned well, but it absolutely falls flat on its face when it comes to record playing. The first unit we purchased was a lemon: the record player was fully DOA so we returned it and purchased a new one. The second unit had an absolutely horrible wobble to it and I believe the needle was either broken or bent on arrival. We exchanged that unit and decided to give them one more chance with a third unit. Everything seemed to function, but the record player quality was just abysmal to the point that it might as well have been broken. Scratchy, distorted, and faded to the maximum degree. It really bummed me out how terrible the record player was on all these units because we liked everything else about it. We returned our third unit and instead opted for the Victrola Eastwood Signature; it only has Bluetooth and built-in speakers as additional features to the record player (no cd, cassette, or radio). It utilizes an Audio-Technica cartridge and I believe that to account for the MASSIVE difference in audio quality for the turntable; it sounds far better than other Victrola all-in-one turntables. If Victrola offered the Empire with a markedly better build quality for the turntable like they have in their Eastwood Signature, it would be a grand slam. Unfortunately, this is much more of an easy pop-fly out. Avoid this unit.

This audio system works great and has that classic, quality, nostalgic sound that I was wanting. Love the aesthetics. The record player and CD player is easy to use and works great. I love that I can connect my cellphone to the audio system via bluetooth. I gives the songs that I am streaming that same quality sound.

I really love my Victoria Bluetooth Stereo Audio System. It is compact, yet the sound can be heard throughout my entire residence. This multifunctional stereo enables me to listen to CDs, Tape, and old-school albums, and the radio. It is perfect all by itself.

Amazing gift. Plays records with amazing sound qaulity as well is able to play cassettes and even has blutooth capabilities. Loving it thus far.

At first glance, this Victrola could be your standard generic music player. However, it holds quite a bit of power for such a device. It is somewhat heavy, but that is due to its sturdiness. The speakers are above average. It won't win any audiophile awards, but it is quite enjoyable. The turntable is easy to use, and doesn't require a person to have a degree in turntablology. This was a gift and my niece loves it in her college apartment. A+

Good sound quality, clean design really easy set up

Comes with record player, CD reader, Bluetooth, cassette and even Radio! What else could you want from a speaker?

Good price. All the necessary functions with no unnecessary frills. Everything right up front and easily accessible. Good looking and fits in well with current decor. Equipped with necessary accessories included in the package. Nice sound.

Very nice product, with classic looks. All function well (CD/cassette/record players), and has ability to send to Blue tooth device, as well as output to a stereo receiver. Only minus, is I wish it had a remote control function.

Rather nice and fashionable. The entire setup is rather large. I picked it up and it was a rather large box. Looking at it you have no idea how large it is until you see it in person. It takes up a large amount of space wherever you choose to put it, so make sure you have plenty of space for it. The volume on it, hits a certain point, then it catches and you can keep moving it up little by little then all the sudden it jumps up. It seem's like a discrepency in the product? I will need to get it looked at. Its okay, but the volume has a few issues and the sound quality is on the less that average side for me. It looks nice though. Very Nostalgia with the lighted part of it.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved it. Sound quality is great and t's aesthetically pleasing. He is a music guy, so if he says it's good, it's good.

Purchased this unit to replace an old LP/CD player. Sound quality is decent when I play vinyl or CDs through the unit's built-in speakers - better than I anticipated - bearing in mind, I've only played the unit at low-to-medium volume. Sound quality for tapes is comparable to that of another cassette player I own. Haven't tried Bluetooth or USB ADC yet. Ease-of-use is decent, especially after you give the instructions a quick read. Overall, a good value for the price, and it's nice to have a single unit that can play several different mediums.

The sound quality is pristine! I enjoy all of the features. I can now thrift and not worry about cassettes, discs, or vinyls. This has it all. It even has bluetooth connectivity. Its like if the past and future had a baby.

It looks very Nice in my living room. Sounds is great too

I love my Victrola Bluetooth Stereo Audio System Gold/Brown/Black Stereo. It's set up next to my bar and I can play my albums, CD's and Cassette tapes. Although I wish it had AM Radio.

Woah. I had my heart set on a $399 record player and was saving my pennies, but loved the more vintage look of some truly older machines out there. Came across this one and it had great reviews with that older appearance, so i took a shot. The reason for wanting a more expensive one originally is that sound is important, and I’m so absolutely stunned by the sound quality of this machine for the money. Plus, I have (too many) cats and the ability to close the top lid to keep the hair and dust out of the turntable is so functional. Trust the reviews! I only collect records currently, but like the option for cd and casette in the future if needed. Great machine, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Pretty solid. Not super loud. It would be nice if there was even an external speaker option.

We bought this for my father in law for Christmas. We wanted something that would be easy for him to operate and this turned out to be perfect. He truly enjoys it and loves the classic look. We hooked it into our surround sound and it sounds great.

Great sound quality for the size! Love the ability to play my records and also have the flexibility to use Bluetooth from my phone plus the other features. Love the vintage look and lighting!

The sound is much better than anticipated! I love the different listening options i.e. Bluetooth, CD, etc. Connects easily to your phone and plays seamless. The vintage look is slick as well.
