Customers are saying

Customers love the Empire Bluetooth 6-in-1 Record Player's sound quality, ease of use, and Bluetooth connectivity, frequently praising its multiple features and retro design. Many appreciate the inclusion of a CD player and radio, along with the overall aesthetic appeal. However, some users noted that the volume could be improved, and that the bass response might not satisfy everyone's preferences. A few also reported issues with the turntable's performance.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Nicely Priced All-In-One Player

    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.

    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.

    Worth every penny

    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.

    Stylish and good overall performance. I really like the look and build quality of the Victrola Empire 6-in-1. It’s a great addition to my space and feels solid. I did experience some Bluetooth connection issues initially, which was a little frustrating, but once set up it worked fine. Overall, it’s a good product and I would recommend it.

    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.

    Good unit for the price. Sound is OK. Lots of features, though we haven't used them all. Just been using it to spin vinyl & it works just fine for that. Fits nicely on an end table & fills a small room with sound.

    This was nice surprise buy from my husband. I have many old LPs from my teenage years and before. James Taylor, ABBA, Bee Gees, and several others, I also have the original music LPs from "Sound of Music, "The King and I", and "Camelot" from the 1960s. Listening to them again is such fun. I also have CD books of music discs and I can now listen to those again, since my car no longer has a CD player. The radio is terrific. We sat this Victrola downstairs and found a FM station playing non-stop Christmas music. The sound quality is excellent and it is so easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone who has their original LPs or is buying new ones.

    The styling to start with is awesome, a blend of an older time look while modernly stylish. To have a turntable, CD player and cassette all in one, plus radio is nice. The speakers are what you would expect, from a small setup, so going to find good bookshelves to compliment.
