I'm pretty new to vinyl collecting, and have been cherry picking albums here and there due to already owning so much on CD. I have been limiting myself to only picking up my personal favorites, but insisted upon picking up the Beastie Boys entire catalog. Loving the enlarged album artwork and display them proudly in my man cave... They sound great on vinyl!
Mar 23, 2018 18:49Woooo!!! Totally kicks butt I would recommend it to anyone!
Dec 01, 2017 19:01Great album but I wish the price was lower, I can find cheaper online
Oct 20, 2021 07:37Have seen kenny in concert before. When I saw this release. I knew I had to have it. I was not disappointed.great guitar and great songs
Jan 02, 2021 16:37Unbelievable concert!!! KWS ROCKS!! But this if you love the Blues!!!
Jan 01, 2021 17:09Add a soundtrack to your drive with this built-in Alpine Bluetooth receiver. It supports audio streaming, so you can listen to your favorite radio apps or personal playlist via a smartphone, and the AM/FM tuner offers convenient access to different stations. The CD and USB inputs of this Alpine Bluetooth receiver ensure maximum playback options.
Where do I begin? This unit totally revamped my Sound system. This is my first time owning an alpine head unit. I had the Pioneer 80prs and while that is a good unit, this is a better unit. Sound quality is superb as expected from alpine. Bluetooth is crystal clear and it really makes the music come alive. I’m in “awe” how amazing this head unit is. I bought 2 and can’t wait to have the other installed in my other car.
May 21, 2020 21:39I've always bought Alpine and the quality still shines through! Super easy to use and setup. Love having bluetooth feature now. Keep it up Alpine! Customer for Life!!!
Jul 10, 2020 17:08good control placements, excellent sound quality!!

It’s so nice looking and the sound is incredible and crisp, I’ve had one of those Crosley suitcase players for a few years and this was a great upgrade
Nov 05, 2021 21:19The built in speaker has surprisingly great sound. I’ve had this player about a month now and have had zero issues with it. I’d definitely recommend!
Sep 11, 2021 11:03the purchase was made because I actually saw her in concert here in Denver so when this came out // she performed it exactly how I remembered it and it was one of the greatest concerts I been to so for this to be a replica of when she came to Denver is a plus so if you enjoyed this concert if you went... this will be a reminder of how great the concert was and if you weren't able to go//still purchase this as she performed all her hits
Aug 16, 2015 12:03Sade takes command of the stage with just her persence. Wonderful stage lighting. The band and back up singers are phenemonal. The sax player for Jezebel will have you giving him a standing ovation in your living room.
Jun 24, 2013 11:16Sade is one of, if not, the best female vocalists throughout history. Her sound is simply amazing. Not much you can do wrong with Sade. Its a great DVD to own if you missed or attended her last tour. It's like you're there all over again.
Mar 16, 2014 07:49One of my favorite artist. Love all her music. She sounds even better live
Jan 04, 2019 13:37I have long been an admirer of this artist Sade and am even more pleased at seeing her in concert, a pleasure I had never experienced till now. Left me wanting more
May 31, 2014 12:10Sade's performance is always a satisfying delight.
Jan 21, 2019 19:04Great relaxing music and videos to enjoy during our gaming nights at home while playing pool or dominos or grilling. Love it!
Oct 25, 2014 13:00Have purchased many DVDs in some instances I was dissatified. However hands down best concert DVD in my collection

May 21, 2021 15:54I recently broke my needle on my ATLP60X and needed a replacement so I bought this one and it’s perfect!! Very easy to install and works great!!
Sep 18, 2021 09:36Every now and then, you find an old record to play, and you need a working record player. This did the trick, and gave better quality sound than I had with the old needle.
Sep 10, 2021 16:13It just makes sense!
This will be my second Audio- Technica stylus the first coming with the record player that I purchased during summer. I been listening to records old and new and this (needle) has stood up through playback of some of my scratched and dirty vinyl. A few of my records are scratched but I wanted to listen to them anyways because I they are music I listened to growing up. It played them perfectly fine and let me tell you it still does.. so 'it makes sense' to stick with what works! I bought this one to put away for when the stylus that came with my Audio-Technica player does go bad. It seems it very well may be a long time and if not I have this one ready to play the next hundreds and hundreds of hours of music enjoyment.
Jan 28, 2021 06:51works immediately, I put it on and it started to work within minutes, only issue I had was when my dog keeps thinking my record player is a toy whenever I play stuff and he'll bark at it the whole time which is pretty annoying so I don't know if that's something inside the replacement or just my dog but either way just kind of annoying but would recommend this for replacing old needles, thumbs up two
Apr 16, 2021 12:44My record player kept getting stuck and skipping so i popped one of these on ot and now it works perfectly.
Nov 09, 2021 09:53Did what it was supposed to do- worked as a replacement

Jan 29, 2021 15:16The greatest Beatles album is Let It Be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May 15, 2020 16:05Nice case to store and transport my albums. The color is so cute and the construction is well made.

Only wish they would've been digital audio disks that would work on all cd players
Jun 04, 2021 22:54I bought these for music I bought online so I could play it in my car (yes, I guess a bit dated but it works). Discs work fine, they do the job
Oct 20, 2021 11:47Great price, good quality discs that shipped quickly.
Nov 12, 2021 16:05I still use these discs to burn MP3s to CD audio format for play in my car.
Aug 23, 2021 09:49These do exactly what they are advertised to do. Burn music to them and it plays back flawlessly. What more could you ask from the blank recordable disc?
Apr 04, 2021 03:55Three perfect CD stack for an audiobook with a case for the car!
Jul 16, 2021 22:40I BUY THE CD'S BECAUSE I MAKE CD'S FOR PEOPLE EVERYONE IS NOT INTO DOWNLOADING MUSIC. SPOTIFY AND APPLE MUSIC DOESN'T CARRY SOME OF THE MUSIC I OWN.
Nov 21, 2020 07:58great packaging, very easy to open. the discs are highly quality and will hold a large quantity of data. highly recommend these discs.
Oct 16, 2020 16:01Create permanent music files on discs from the Verbatim CD-R 50-pack. You can preserve your music for decades to come with 50 blank CDs that record clear and fast. Take your existing CDs and burn them onto these discs so they last longer while maintaining the original quality. This Verbatim CD-R 50-pack is great as a reliable media storage option.
The CDs I use in a music studio to record lessons are no longer available at Costco, so I've been searching for discs that will accurately record music. Verbatim CDs work very well, but are much more expensive than those I bought before. I'm still looking for 100s at a more economical price.
Dec 30, 2016 22:46used disk to put music mp3s burning was fast play back was as expected good
Oct 27, 2019 07:03Great CD's with big Storage for a lot of música and videos
May 04, 2019 00:04These have worked perfectly for recording music we want to save.
Dec 04, 2017 11:34Don’t use CDRs much anymore, but Verbatisms always treated me well. Low failure rate.
Sep 01, 2021 01:31Verbatim is my go-to brand. But they're becoming scarce these days as everything switches to downloads. But for us "0ld Schoolers" still using discs, they're perfect.
Oct 23, 2021 14:39I purchased these discs to transfer songs from my home computers music file library onto CDs for listening on my car CD player during road trips. So far they’ve worked fine very good sound quality.
Nov 12, 2021 18:41I know use back stuff personally and stuff on my computer
Dec 05, 2021 12:22Replace worn parts to get crystal clear sound with this Audio-Technica elliptical replacement stylus. The elliptical diamond design follows record grooves precisely to reduce distortion and improve response from the VM95 series. This Audio-Technica elliptical replacement stylus can be used to replace worn styluses and keep dual moving motor cartridges running flawlessly.
I purchased this item to replace the previous AT-VM95 cartridge that came with my AT-LP120 phonograph. My original cartridge looked a bit different as it was completely rectangular box-shaped, so I had to double check to make it was the right replacement.
I believe this was just an upgraded version, though and I could swear it sounds better than my last one. The little protective plastic cover is easier to remove once you've slid it into place, by the way.
Sep 24, 2021 18:55the product seems as described so far - I have not yet used it since I bought it anticipating my current needle is about to go bad. customer service was great, how ever I did find it very confusing showing up to a closed store but curbside was still available. I almost left uptight thinking the app and store hours didn't match up - this is extremely confusing and there needs to be something in the app to indicate while the store may already be closed, curbside is still open.
assuming the product works, everything else was great, especially the store employee delivering to this to my car and answering my questions about why the store is closed but they still do curbside. generally I have no need or desire to go inside best buy so I appreciate this curbside delivery and hope you keep it after the pandemic ever ends.
price wise - best buy is equal to anywhere else, if not cheaper, and sometimes you just don't want to wait for shipping even if it's next day
Jan 02, 2021 01:41I bought this as a replacement for the original that had worn down due to use. It works great and am very happy with it.
Oct 01, 2021 01:19This is exactly the stock needle that comes with the ATLP120 Audio Technica Turntable. If you want to replace your needle, this is a good, cheap option that works, but you might consider upgrading and keeping this around as a spare.
Jul 23, 2021 15:45It was a one time shot. The staff explained how to make the replacement and it worked. I did not have to go anywhere else and did not need to wait for a delivery to my house.
Jul 30, 2021 16:58Works great, definitely no fault in the stylus! AT packages them well and they hold up great. Pricey little buggers, but they last a while, so just a unfortunate side effect. Would definitely spend again to replace it, though - wouldn't chance it otherwise!
Aug 04, 2021 10:46This is a mediocre stylus at best , I returned this item because it was not what I needed when I bought my AT-LP120X from the Central Park Best Buy it was not only missing this stylus cartridge but my product was missing the entire Headset but I have heard this thing in action @ a friends and I was not that impressed so after my nightmare purchase I treated myself to a Ortofon Blue Stylus Cartridge Combo and now my AT-LP120X Sounds Stellar
Sep 23, 2021 19:19Third replacement stylus in less then two years.. granted it was operator error on at least one occasion but they work as intended, I do wish the price point was better ($50) as if you accidently drop it took hard on the record it will very easily ruin..
Jun 05, 2021 11:31Enjoy your treasured vinyls with this Audio-Technica automatic wireless belt-drive turntable. Bluetooth connectivity enables pairing with wireless speakers and headphones, and the included RCA cable provides compatibility with wired components. This two-speed Audio-Technica automatic wireless belt-drive turntable plays 33-1/3 RPM records and comes with a 45 RPM adapter to accommodate singles.
Really nice record player i use to have those cheap suitcase record players and my record would always skip well i bought this one in hope they wouldnt skip and its really nice quality and they dont skip the only bad thing is you need some extra money to buy separate speakers but i already had some laying around so i only bought the record player really recommend
May 31, 2021 17:33I've got an old record collection that I've been wanting to play again but I wasn't up on the newer turntable technology. I'm a video producer so I'm familiar with Audio Technica microphones and took a gamble on the AT LP 60XBT turntable and couldn't be happier. Set up was so easy I didn't need the instructions. I just paired it with my Bose speakers and heard the deep luscious sounds of vinyl beaming from the 50s, 60s and 70s tunes. The AT LP 60XBT has a small footprint and fits in my record cabinet well. The cushioned feet help keeps possible bumps from damaging my records. If you're researching, do look for this feature, it's worth the added price. And since they are old, some of my records are scratched and skip or get hung up in spots and all I have to do is gently press a finger on the turntable's arm to get it to continue on. (Like in the old days!) I didn't care for the look of the suitcase turntables and from reviews I noticed users didn't like them because their lids didn't fully cover the record. This is important to note because besides your records, you don't want dust to get into your turntable or needle. For the price, this is an excellent starter turntable. The only thing I wish is that it had some sort of "stop gap" mechanism to prevent the arm from operating when there isn't a record on the turntable. My grandson is fascinated with the turntable and keeps turning it on to play! When there's no record on the turntable the arm will still automatically activate when the "start" button is pressed and the needle drags across the turntable as if it's playing a record. But I don't think any turntable has this option, although some do have a latch to lock over the arm.
Jul 27, 2021 01:21Everything you need to play record vinyls are provided by this turntable. Everything from support for both types of vinyls, 33RPM and 45RPM. It also doesn’t bend the disc such as the Victoria I had bought before this. It supports analog and 3.5mm output.
Oct 13, 2021 09:32Great turntable for the money. Plays old and new vinyl beautifully. Pairs well with my 1990s Pioneer system. The Bluetooth function is awesome with my JBL patio speaker. Happy with my purchase.
Oct 15, 2021 16:21I LOVE IT! i have used it for the last month, i upgraded from a suitcase record player and there IS A DIFFERENCE. it’s so easy to use my echo dot as the speaker. it’s also so pretty lol
Mar 05, 2021 16:23This record player is simply amazing for the money! I’m new to the vinyl world and im sure there’s better record players on the market, but I didn’t necessarily want to spend hundreds on a record player. The sound quality of this unit is mind blowing and functionality is smooth. This paticular model has bluetooth, so it paired up to my samsung surround system in seconds and no loss of sound quality compared to old school rca’s or 3.5mm aux. This unit does have those outputs as well if you choose to be hard wired, but the benefit of bluetooth is you can have this unit anywhere in the room as long as you have a power outlet nearby. If you’re on the fence like i was about which record player to choose, do not hesitate and pick this unit up! You won’t regret it!
Oct 11, 2021 22:33Great quality and easy to use... the only down fall is that I need to have a set of speakers for it and speakers don’t come with it
Jan 04, 2020 20:45Great record player, especially if it’s your first. Affordable and high quality with an easy setup. I had everything working within a few minutes and only minimal assembly was required. Sound is superb and the Bluetooth technology is quite convenient. I have a small speaker and the tech allowed for a wireless setup which was ideal for my minimalist preference. Highly recommended.
Feb 07, 2020 17:49Display album art while enjoying your favorite tunes with this Crosley vinyl record stand. The versatile design accommodates 7-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch records, while the white finish brightens up your music corner. This portable Crosley vinyl record stand has an easy-to-carry design and two grooves to hold your album in place.
Cool device for small spaces, I enjoy this item to hold my Lp as I play them daily.
Nov 14, 2021 17:29It works as intended to display an album cover. I bought it also to hold an lp while cleaning but to me it’s easier to hold the record. It’s foldable so you can store it when not using. Hard plastic ok
Oct 11, 2021 14:28Excellent stand for displaying records and cleaning them too.
Sep 16, 2021 21:19Attractive stand for your "now playing" record sleeve. When you aren't playing anything, it still looks very nice.
May 10, 2021 20:00This is a must for those who have vinyl records. I use mine to be put the records as a decoration in my room. It only holds one record for display.
Feb 25, 2021 17:06does what it says, on the cheap end, but works fairly well.
Sep 17, 2020 18:19It isn’t expensive and it does what it’s intended to do. However, i guess i didn’t pay much attention online because it’s a lot flimsier in person.
Aug 13, 2021 15:29Unique product. Excellent price. This product is difficult to find. Needed this product to display my vinyl.
Oct 23, 2020 19:19Made from carbon fibers, the AudioQuest record brush gently reaches into the groove, pulling out dust and dirt that would otherwise snap, crackle, and pop through your speakers. Don't let those little intrusions turn into big interruptions.
I bought this brush to replace an old one and it works well. I wash my old records and then use the brush for subsequent plays. I like that it has the metal guard, and it can stand on that, though a separate stand or case would be good. No real cons.
Feb 27, 2021 16:15this is an essential product for enjoying vinyl. However, it is important to read the instructions - which are printed on the back of the box - before throwing it away.
If you simply place the brush lightly as the record spins, it may leave the collected dust on the record. the key is to spin the brush slightly counter clockwise so that the dust stays on the brush. I'm guessing clockwise vs. counter doesn't matter as long as you can manipulate the brush to lift off the dust.
Jul 09, 2021 15:36I bought this anti-static record brush as a replacement to one that I had purchased on Amazon. I had to replace it because the hinge had broken and could only maneuver it from certain angles. This one feels like it's better quality than the Amazon one and allows me the full range of motion while dusting my records.
Aug 19, 2021 14:51This works well as we have very fine vinyl and an older, vintage and great quality Denon Turntable. We want to make sure our records are free of dust when we play them.
Nov 20, 2021 10:23I love it because It helps my Lp's play better and its the best to jeep them clean. Good buy.
Nov 14, 2021 17:27It does a pretty good job getting rid of dust and static.
Nov 26, 2021 00:50An a essential item to have for anyone who listens to vinyl records.
Nov 14, 2021 07:29This LP cleaner is so great I purchased an additional as a gift.
Nov 13, 2021 07:50Keep your music blaring with this Studebaker Master Blaster Bluetooth boom box. It connects to your smartphone or tablet for convenient audio streaming, and the AM/FM analog radio offers precise tuning options so you can listen to your favorite stations. This Studebaker Master Blaster Bluetooth boom box has a CD player and USB port to maximize media input.
Going okd school w/ a boombox!!! A must have if u old school like me!!!!
Jan 26, 2021 12:23The sound is not bad at all for this size of Boombox, and have all the convenience features, I love it.
Aug 12, 2019 10:13I've read the past reviews, and took the risk purchasing through Deal of the Day. I will tell you I have people offering the full price if I would sell it to them. Needless to say, I've kept it and continue to enjoy this flashback boombox. Although not the quality of sound like the new generation of systems like Bose, Sony, and other brands of the like, the sound quality is pretty good. Obviously, the quality of digital music nowadays is a lot higher, so it is a step up from the analog music played through the original boomboxes.
Overall quality is fairly good. The knobs are cheap plastic, and not the quality as found on the original boomboxes, but if you can look past it, you will enjoy. The only thing I would've appreciated would be having the VU meters rather than the light show, like the ones installed on the JVC and Panasonic boomboxes of yesteryear that I owned as a teenager.
Overall, I am enjoying the boombox, and further enjoy the reaction people have when they hear it playing "old school" rock and R&B.
May 10, 2019 16:16The Bestbuy on site specs read: Cassette Player yes. This was a gift for an OG with a large cassette collection. This does not have a built in cassette player. You could hook one to it, but no. It looked cool and fun with the disco lights but I had to return it.
Jul 20, 2019 15:21It was nice to find a modern version of a "retro" boombox like in the 1980's, that plays CD'S and
is up to date to play MP3's with a USB Flashdrive
input and bluetooth too from an external music
player, as I can from my smartphone.
The digital aspects, in red, are useful for showing
the mode chosen, etc. The Peak Sound displays
and blue backlights on the speakers are colorful.
However, the Peak Sound levels are quite sensitive
to the recorded levels, and they reach peak easily.
The Bass and Treble tone controls are helpful.
The AM and FM reception are moderate in their sensitivity, failing to pick up and separate weaker
AM stations, and FM Stereo reception requires a
fairly strong signal. It would be nice to have these
Frequencies in a digital readout, which have been
available for over 30 years.
There are not any recording capabilities such as to
CD's not Flashdrives, which would be nice, but
probably at a greater cost.
So far the internal rechargeable battery seems to
power the unit well.
Jun 14, 2019 16:45Your technician Brian Herring was a vey polite and knowledgeable man. He hooked up my home theatre system right down to the very last wire. He talked about what he was doing it , just to clear up any question od doubt I may have had. If I ever should need a Technician for anything again, I'll request Brian . Good man!
Apr 26, 2021 09:21It has a built in rechargeable battery, very loud speakers, Bluetooth, CD and an AM/FM radio. Great for the beach, or the outdoors.
Aug 09, 2019 16:53I like it mostly for the CD player. I have to have it close to a window to pick up clear stations, even with the antennae fully extended.
Sep 05, 2020 12:07Listening to Roberta Flack takes me back to the 70's. The CD has her greatest hits. I ordered online and was fast to receive in the mail.
May 07, 2021 20:35I love to hear the music on this cd. It’s the easy listening of ballads that soothe the soul.
Jun 20, 2021 12:55Great album--really great price. Best Buy often offers hidden gems at bargain prices. This was one. Roberta's best are on here. A CD you will play and play.
Jan 02, 2021 12:37Bought this for a relative. She love Roberta Flack
May 04, 2021 19:42This is a great find! I love all the music and the price was certainly right!
Jan 08, 2021 20:53great cd brings you back to the 70s . I have always been a big roberta fan and this cd does is a good choice for your collection.
Sep 18, 2020 16:56If you're born in the sixties you should know Roberta Flack. The songs are smooth R&B. Love the duet with Donny Hathaway.
Jan 17, 2020 15:44Love hearing the songs I grew up with. What a voice, wish she was still making music today.
Dec 28, 2019 10:40Listen to your favorite albums with this Onkyo DX-C390(B) 6-disc CD player that features Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry technology for clear, brilliant audio. The high-precision multibit D/A converter delivers high-quality sound.
Needed to replace a Sony 5 disc changer that after 12 years stopped working, saw this online, read some reviews, owned and loved Onkyo products previously, you had it for pickup at the store, connected two wires: ‘Voila!’ Couldn’t be happier!
Jul 26, 2019 20:15I purchase an Onkyo system back in 1997 and it has been very good for many years. The 5 disc CD Player became non-functional so i was in search of a replacement. I was actually looking for a single CD Player but came upon this new 6 Disc Onkyo player. It hooked right up with the same space and connections and performs beautifully.
May 25, 2018 17:12This multi-disc play went into my airplane hangar so when I'm wrenching on the bird I can work steady without having to change discs with greasy/oily fingers. It works as advertised and we especially like the random/shuffle function.
Jul 08, 2016 19:09This was used to replace a pioneer cd changer in a rack system purchased in Japan, in 1989 (Air Force vet) that stopped working. This was a open box (but, still pricy). Shipped in the original box. The item looked brand new. no dents, scratches etc. All buttons worked including the remote. It seems CD players for the home intertainment centers are being phased out , thus the pricy sale tag. A better product than the item it replaced.. I have never purchased an open box item however, I am very pleased with my purchase
Dec 13, 2019 20:12Outstanding, Now a days 6 disc players are hard to find.
Aug 16, 2019 18:34Everything works great and it's appearance is nice. My only glitch is that it's quite noisy when discs are changing.
Jan 23, 2017 17:17The six disc player provides hrs of music and I can load all the discs from my audio book.
Oct 13, 2018 09:07This device was a lot easier to set up than what I was expecting, very easy to replace the old unit. Many more features then my old Sony unit.
Jan 07, 2017 12:05The passing of Eagles co-founder Glenn Frey could have spelled the end of one of America's finest bands. Instead, a revamping of personnel which included Frey's son, Deacon, and Nashville stalwart Vince Gill breathed new life into the group, and the material, old and new, sounds better than ever! Highly recommended!
Oct 30, 2020 15:18Heard this was a good dvd so purchased it for my husbands birthday. He loves it.
Oct 01, 2021 15:21Great to see Deacon Frey carry on for his father. Great audio and video quality, although not available in Blu-ray or 4K. Several new arrangements on old Eagles Songs.
Jan 01, 2021 17:55This is a great Item to add to your collection if you are an Eagles fan ! If you attended an Eagles concert on their tour in 2018 this is a must !
Jan 05, 2021 16:09Really enjoyed previous Eagle concert. Wonder if they would continue after Glenn Frey’s passing.
Deacon Frey and Vince Gill have filled the void. If you are an Eagles fan this DVD/cds is for you. Highly recommend.
Nov 21, 2020 13:13Been waiting for this to be released. It's awesome! The sound quality is unbelievable. The Eagles never disappoint. DVD was just as good. I will be listening to this for awhile!
Oct 23, 2020 18:29This is an awesome present! Love the Eagles myself and so does my niece.
Dec 12, 2020 11:27Great DVD and CD. The music is timeless. We are especially enjoying the CD

Easy install and bluetooth works good calls are clear
Dec 25, 2020 22:04Great price easy to install. Purchased the pioneer to replace my old that stoped working. The new units have a smaller jack in the back.the microphone is on a 9 foot plug so you can put anywhere.
Jul 26, 2020 05:06It has all the features I was looking for. It’s fairly easy to operate and fit in my vehicle nicely. The price was excellent.
Jul 06, 2021 09:22Sound real clear and loud great for the price. I had it installed about a week and no issues
Feb 26, 2021 16:17One of the best single din cd players ive purchased. Great product. Easy to use. Great design. Bluetooth and app application is great.
Nov 08, 2021 10:03It’s a good radio with some good options: Bluetooth pairing of your smartphone so no more audio cable, although it does have one jack just in case. It also has a usb charger port so you can use the cigarette lighter port for charging another phone. Two other settings besides the standard AM/FM and aux, which I have yet to use are the Spotify and Pandora modes. A lot more power than the one I had before, so the sound quality is nicer, cleaner.
Mar 26, 2021 17:41Bery good options on this radio and very easy to do self installation
Jan 29, 2021 15:47I love this pioneer that my boys bought for me,
It did take a very very long time to get it because of the shortage.
It has a great features actually it has way to many for me I’m in my 70s so all I need is the basics, I use the CD player the most.
I would recommend this to all my friends.
Sep 17, 2021 20:37The Pioneer AVH-3500NEX DVD is a DVD touchscreen receiver which goes into a DIN (2" tall) dash opening. It includes seamless integration with your smartphone device, providing easy access to navigation, music, podcasts, contacts and more. And best of all, the motorized screen folds away when not in use.
Amazing unit for people that don’t have room for a double din stereo, or simply don’t want to destroy the dash to put one in. Love my 2006 BMW 325i, it just needed to be current with technology, and this stereo completed my wish! Some people might complain about the screen, but we have a couple of 2015 cars that have the same type of screen. If you want an “IPad touch feel” than this is not for you as those are twice the price! If you just want a screen that can go in when you want or out, then get this radio! Apple car play and Bluetooth work amazing! I don’t mind plugging in the wired connection as anything is better than what I had before. I am so excited to have Sirius XM as before I had the portable XM radio with all types of wires all over my car and now with the module connection to the back of this radio I have no wires on my dash! I often find myself excuses just to drive around now, I love it!!
Jan 23, 2021 16:47This radio had everything I was looking for: Bluetooth, USB port for charging and Apple Car Play function. Everything else is just a bonus. It has hands free calling, reads your text message, you can verbally reply to the text message and say"Send" and it'll send it. Yes, I know it has a DVD player/CD player but I wasn't interested in those features since this was a gift and the person using this radio doesn't listen to CD's and I was uncomfortable splicing into the parking brake to have the DVD feature to work when the car is parked. If you don't want to modify your dash, or a double DIN radio just doesn't fit but you want modern features, this is the solution. The car that I installed it in looks like it always belonged in there.
Sep 11, 2020 01:47A must have unit
Works great
Apple play and DVD player
Sep 25, 2020 16:02Love it something I got for my birthday I know it will look good in my lowrider I havent put on by I will soon
Oct 04, 2020 01:39Bought this radio because a double din would not work in my application but still wanted a bigger screen. So far I am very happy with my purchase. Bluetooth is easy to connect and just as easy to switch between when multiple devices are connected. Android Auto works flawlessly with my galaxy s10. Most importantly the sound quality is excellent and adjusting the eq is simple with a wide range of frequencies. The only reason for the 4 star rating is because of the price compared to a comparable double din.
Jan 17, 2020 15:17Omar at Florence sc BestBuy and his guys were awesome showed me things about the radio all is working correctly except when i touch it lol
Oct 30, 2021 10:05What’s the Scottsdale location they have stereo put in most awesome installer ever highly recommend it great product and service
Oct 29, 2021 16:02when I first got there I was told my purchase was missing parts and I had to contact the manufacturer to get them. Turns out the parts came to $60 dollars with shipping..at that point I wasn't happy.
But the installer and the manager Made me happy by covering the costs of the parts AND the shipping.
I have to make another appt for when these parts come in but so far I'm very content..Thanks!

I just installed in this in my 2002 F-150. Fit well with little modification. Had wanted a double DIN but too much modification was needed to the dash. Love everything about this radio - sound quality, Bluetooth, hands free calling, etc. Can be a little tricky to operate at first. The only disappointment is that the specs say it has "selectable color illumination". This model does not. Now I have blue illumination on the stereo with green everywhere else. Not a huge deal but it is is disappointing when specs are incorrect, so beware.
Aug 24, 2019 19:19Radio is very expensive-looking works great in my car I will post a couple of pictures
Mar 12, 2021 18:07We bought this to replace the old non-working radio in our 1993 Ford Ranger. It was an easy install and sounds great. We plan to purchase another one for our 1995 Nissan pickup.
Aug 08, 2020 21:10The radio works excellent The geek squad I would recommend having them install it they do a great job it looks great in the car I had no issues with it it was exactly what I was looking for when I asked them and told them they directed me to this radio and I have no problems I also recommend getting the extended warranty and when The geek squad installs it you get a lifetime warranty on installation I'm very happy with my experience
Oct 30, 2020 14:31meets all my needs for what I need am,FM bluetooth has everything u need plus more features u wont even use
Nov 07, 2019 12:08Great player that allows for hands free calls in the vehicle. Has both FM & AM with the ability to program lots of channels, and the CD player works great. There are lots of features, and I'm still working through those because all I really wanted was anew CD player in my truck- the rest have been bonuses. The only thing that keeps me from giving this 5 stars is that it goes into demo or ad mode (showing what it does on the screen) after it plays for a while. It might be me and I haven't figured out how to get that to stop (besides pushing the display button on the remote).
Aug 02, 2021 08:25Excellent Sony deck. Fairly easy to operate . Comes with an owners manual. You cant go wrong with Sony electronics
Mar 05, 2021 20:28This stereo looks great and is packed full of amenities with a super low price I would definitely buy another for my other cars.

I already had kicker speakers installed in my Toyota Corolla. Andrew installed this radio today and I thought I would have a lot of highs and would need a amp to get some bass. Boy was I wrong! This radio sounds amazing. I like my music loud and I honestly don’t think I need a amp. Still getting use to the controls. I really don’t care for the microphone. You have to yell at it but I really don’t care about that to much about that after I heard my radio. Display is pretty basic. Nothing too fancy. I like the apple car play. Plugged my phone in and BOOM it was there. I wish you could hear my car! Those kicker speakers sound Amazing compared to the stock radio. The installation was quick and looks great. You really can’t tell I have a aftermarket radio in the dash. This radio even hooked up to my factory back up camera and the steering wheel controls still work great. Very happy with my purchase and the customer service I received at Bismarck Best Buy. Thank you Andrew!
Sep 06, 2019 22:01Nice Upgrade on 2007 Ford F150. Makes older vehicles look modern. I needed to upgrade speakers as well OEM speakers didn't have the clear sound I needed. Android Auto works perfect had my daughter do Apple Play as well they both work fine. Bluetooth works perfect although a few times pressing Pandora on Radio displayed not connected. Quick fix was to link phone up through Android Auto USB then everything synced back together.
Jan 30, 2021 08:42This Pioneer consistently amazes me. It is so feature packed, that it took me a while to learn all it can do. This is not to say that it's hard to learn, just that I usually do not lean a feature, until I need to use it. The Apple Car Play, Rear Backup Camera, DVD/CD, Reception, and Sound is phenomenal. The interface with my steering wheel controls works seamlessly, and the SirrusXM had fantastic reception. With everything this unit offers, it is one of the best deals period. Add on top of all of that, Free Instillation, it's hard, if not impossible to beat!!
Oct 16, 2019 20:10Bought a JVC 6.8” unit that died on me after just a few months. Best Buy swapped it out with this unit and it works 100% better than the JVC. Screen is a little smaller but I actually like the side panel with physical buttons. A+ Head unit!
Dec 11, 2020 21:21I love it, Pioneer always been my choice for car stereos, this Deck does it all, The only issue i have with it is when you watch Youtube videos on it it buffers alot and can be glitchy.
Jul 24, 2020 16:17This fit perfectly in my 2000 4Runner and works great! I love all the options and the sound is incredible. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a reasonable Apple Car Play stereo! Don’t forget to buy the mounting bracket and plug adapter!
Mar 27, 2020 21:11This system has nice, sleek design but I wish the volume buttons were a little bigger. Nice size screen and sinks well with phone for hands free talking.
Jan 16, 2021 08:14My old 2005 minivan is now almost as good as having a new car's media center. Apple Car Play is great. I can also listen to my favorite podcast. Good value for the price. I would have done it long time ago if I know there is such good value product.
Mar 07, 2020 19:51Enjoy timeless vinyl in modern quality with this Sony wireless turntable. Bluetooth connectivity pushes high-quality audio to wireless speakers and headphones, while a built-in phono audio output ensures wired devices can be connected as well. A minimalist design simplifies use of this Sony wireless turntable to a single button press, and two operating speeds allow for customizable playback.
To begin with, I have an extensive collection of vinyls dating from the early 60's to the present. I am an avid music lover, and, consider myself an audiophile since I was always fascinated with sound reproduction, amplification, and sound equipment. I started building stereo systems for friends and family back in the late 50's. Collecting records was a culture for me back then, and still is. I go through my record collection often, and, play records at least three or four times a week. Vinyl, analogue records capture full and complete sound waves. There is nothing better then to enjoy outstanding audio from analogue recordings as they were meant to be enjoyed. I prefer the dynamic audio quality of my vinyls over any of my sound-modified, digital CDs. I have a high-end, 'old-school', and costly turntable. But it has no pre-amp, nor does it have Bluetooth technology, or a USB port, for digital conversion of my vinyls using my computer with the appropriate software. So, when I had an opportunity to review the Sony Stereo Bluetooth Turntable – PSLX310BT in exchange for a comprehensive review, I was excited to see what technology could offer me in this updated turntable.
These are the features of this Sony Stereo Bluetooth Turntable, which strike me as the most outstanding:
** Design & Build – Overall this Sony BT turntable is designed for simplicity as an 'entry-level', bargain-priced, record player. The cabinet is made of sturdy plastic in a flat, black, matte finish. It is an attractive looking unit and fits into my home entertainment unit quite nicely. There are four cushioned, round feet on the bottom of the record player, which are designed to absorb shock and prevent vibrations from degrading the playback. This Sony turntable features a hinged, removable, clear plastic dust cover. It is thick enough to provide protection against unwanted sound vibrations from nearby speakers, and dust and debris. The total weight of this unit is under eight pounds because of the lightweight plastic cabinet and aluminum, metal turntable and tonearm. I was impressed by the belt-driven, aluminum, die-cast and balanced platter. It also comes with a foam cushion, 'slip-mat' to keep my vinyl records stable as they are playing. This Sony unit is single-record-play only. However, it will play either 33 1/3 LPs or 45s. The 45 adapter is stored in its slot on the right side of the player cabinet housing. This turntable has a highly sensitive, newly designed 'straight', aluminum tonearm. It is very different from the standard 'J' styled tonearms of the past, which consisted of counter weights to balance them. This aluminum tonearm is programmed to find the beginning grooves of my records and automatically returns back to the tonearm-rest at the end, ready for the next 'Start'. If you are new to vinyl records, or, just want a Bluetooth updated turntable, this is the ideal unit for you.
** Controls – The unit has a Power/ON/Standby Button on the back of the unit to turn the turntable ON/OFF. Topside, on the main deck, are three user, selection knobs. These knobs allow me to choose the size of record (7” for 45s) and (12” for 33 1/3 LPs), speed (33 1/3 & 45 rpm), and for Bluetooth pairing. At the right-front of the unit are three push, selection buttons, 'Start', 'Stop', and 'Up/Down' (for tonearm re-positioning). Pressing the Start Button initiates the auto-play and the tonearm and stylus will play whatever size record I have selected. The Stop Button will halt the record playback and return the tonearm back to its rest. The Up/Down button allows me to pause the playback, and, or re-position the tonearm to a different part of the record by hand. Pressing the Up/Down Button after the playback is paused or re-positioned will automatically lower the tonearm to continue play. On the back of the deck are selection switches for output selection and 'Gain' selection. The 'Gain' Selection gives me three options, Low (-4 dB), Mid (0 dB), and High (+6 dB), to match the overall volume of the record I am playing. When the Output Switch is set to 'LINE' the turntable's audio signal passes through the built-in phono pre-amp. I set this switch to 'LINE' when I am using the BT connection. The Output Switch also provides for phono (out) selection, which bypasses the built-in pre-amp. It allows me to connect the phono (in) on my amp receiver using the provided RCA audio cables. The RCA audio cable is only 52 inches long and I needed approximately eight feet of cable to connect to my amp-receiver. Also, I wanted the audio cables concealed. So, I purchased a pair of RCA Plug Couplers and a longer audio cable at my local Best Buy to get it done. These user-friendly controls are explained in detail with illustrations in the 'Operating Instructions' included with the Sony turntable.
** Bluetooth Pairing – This feature was fascinating to me because I have several quality BT speakers, but, was never able to use them playing my vinyls. I went from my turntable to my amp-receiver using RCA audio cables and that was my only connection. This Sony turntable has a built-in phono pre-amp. So now, I can take advantage of my weatherproof speakers with BT technology and enjoy my vinyls while listening outdoors near my pool and hot tub. WooHoo! I can also pair this turntable to my sound bar or headphones without having to use RCA audio cables. Pairing is very easy. The Bluetooth Pairing Button will flash blue when depressed. When it pairs successfully the blue light will remain constantly ON. If I disconnect a paired device the indicator light will turn orange, and, go into standby mode until reconnected to a BT device. This turntable can pair up to eight different devices and remember that information as it registers them, so you don't have to pair them again. But only one device can pair at a time for playback. This Sony uses the following codecs, aptX and SBC. I found that my BT speakers also support the same codecs. Having the aptX codec brings the music alive with near CD quality over BT. WoW! What I also love about using my BT speakers is they have a mobile App for my Smart Phone. The App allows me to control the volume of the speakers, choose pre-set EQs, and, or, user-adjustable EQ settings. How cool is that? I do all of that with my amp-receiver too, however I have to connect the turntable using RCA audio cables and switch from 'Line' to 'Phono'.
** USB Port – On the back of the deck is a USB, type 'B' port for connection to a computer for conversion of the analogue sound tracks to digital through the appropriate kind of recording software. This is a 'must' for me in the coming weeks as some of my records are now over 62 years old. I have approximately 400 all together. I am going to evaluate the existing software available and get started on this project soon.
** Set Up – Out of the box it took me approximately 30 minutes to have this turntable ready to play records. Installing the platter and drive belt takes a little patience and finesse. I have large hands, so I asked my wife, who has much more manual dexterity then me, install the drive belt.
** Vinyl Record Care – To achieve the best sound playback possible vinyl records must be as dust, debris, and smudge free as possible. All vinyls should be cleaned thoroughly with a dampened microfiber cloth, dried, and stored in a controlled environment. Vinyl records are a dust magnet due to static electricity and an anti-static record cleaning brush is a valuable tool to have for cleaning the micro-grooves. Because fingerprints can damage vinyl I started handling them with gloves after cleaning. I also started to store them in polypropylene record sleeves along with the cardboard outer sleeve to preserve the original artwork and artist information. In time vinyl records increase in value, so they need to be protected and stored properly.
** Maintenance – From my past experiences: Keep the deck, stylus, and cushioned slip mat as dust-free as possible. Keep the hinged dust cover in place when the player is not in use. I found having an extra stylus and drive belt is good practice. These are the items in your turntable that will eventually wear out. Sony has Parts Distribution Partners listed that you can order these items from at their 'Support' website.
** Summary – Over the past five years Vinyl record sales have been increasing while CD sales have dropped off. New generations of folks are now discovering the energizing and full bodied, analogue sounds that only vinyl records capture. Love my vinyls! This Sony Stereo Bluetooth Turntable – PSLX310BT can be your gateway to linking the past with present day technology. I highly recommend the purchase of this unit for your own personal use, gift for a family member, or special friend.
Apr 23, 2019 17:24I admit, I'm one of those guys that prefers all the music in my pocket and subscribe to a streaming service. But my parents gave me some old vinyls and I thought it would be cool to give them a try. I am admittedly not a vinyl junky, and in fact, I've never owned or probably ever operated one. But I must admit there's something magical about them, hearing the needle hit the record and just the way it sounds. Plus, when you buy vinyls, you aren't going to buy everything (maybe you will) so your collection better represents you and your tastes.
This turntable was nice for me, because it has Bluetooth. It doesn't look special, it's a big hunking square piece of plastic, and while I prefer to hardline my speakers into an amp to play, I appreciate the flexibility of streaming to a soundbar.
SETUP
As a person who likes electronics, I generally skip past the manual and figure it out myself. However, I've never put together a turntable before and while there isn't much to do, I would recommend reading the instructions as there was more to it than I expected (I assumed it would literally be ready to go out of the box).
You simply connect the "rubber band" to the gears, put in the metal plate, snap on the hinges for the dust cover (which was hidden in the styrofoam) plug it in, and you're off.
Setting up red/white audio connections is easy. If that's the route your taking, you simply plug it into your amp. Bluetooth on the other hand, was a bit of trial and error. Normally you would connect a Bluetooth speaker to your phone and you can interact with a screen, but obviously the turntable doesn't have one. But I found the process pretty simple. You hold the Bluetooth button down on the turntable until it starts blinking blue and amber and then you put your speaker in pairing mode and they should connect. It took me a couple of tries, but it was pretty painless. I keep my turntable on (there's a hard switch in the back) to maintain that Bluetooth connection to my soundbar to limit connection issues. I have yet for it to disconnect while the turntable is on.
SOUND QUALITY
Obviously, sound is really only as good as your speakers. I'm no audiophile, so I don't have an elaborate system for playing music. I usually listen through my soundbar. What I was impressed with is that the "old timey" (for lack of a batter descriptor) sound came through the soundbar. It sounded like I was playing a record and creates an wonderful listening experience. All in all, I don't think you'll be disappointed with the sound.
EASE OF USE
So this is where my ignorance re turntables came into play. Using it. There's a cover to protect the needle, I removed it, but every time I tried to place the needle on the record (after turning it on and the platter began spinning) the needle kept going back to its position. Well, it's motorized. This make it easy to operate but takes a little fun out of it. You don't even have to press the needle. You simply push the start button and the needle goes into place on its own. It's a nice feature, but I sometimes like to place the needle on it myself.
CONCLUSION
As a vinyl newbie, this is a great turntable. It's easy to set up and operate, although I assume most are, but it has the added convenience of Bluetooth that I know most turntables don't have. If you are looking for flexibility in your setup (I'm thinking keeping your turntable far enough from your audio equipment that would make it difficult to hardwire it to your receiver) then this is your best bet.
I guess the only downside is it's footprint. It's pretty large although most are. Sony could have shaved off some of the plastic on the sides but I assume it's to keep the standard width of home audio components.
Apr 12, 2019 13:37Having gotten back into listening to my old record collection, my old record player with built in speakers wasn’t cutting it. I have Google Home speakers in my home and they sound terrific with streaming audio. I wanted to extend this listening pleasure with my records. This Sony record player seamlessly connects to my Google home or any other Bluetooth speakers.
Pros:
• Easy to setup
• Super easy to use
• Looks great on your bookshelf
Cons:
• Unused AV cord is not detachable
• Button actuations feels a bit cheap
I was looking for a replacement record player and I knew Bluetooth was the route to go. Bluetooth speaker’s sounds 100x better than any built in record player speakers. Setup was a breeze and it auto pairs when I hit the play button. What I love about this record player is that once you set your vinyl on the platter, close the lid and hit the buttons on the front to start playing. No need to manually place the tone arm. Hit play and it will automatically play the first song. Hit stop and it will put the tone arm back to the resting position and turn off. There is also a button to raise and lower so you can choose where to start on your vinyl. Once the record is done playing, the tone arm automatically returns home and stops the vinyl from spinning.
I would recommend this record player to anyone looking to use your better sounding Bluetooth speakers to listen to your records.
Apr 16, 2019 00:31True vinyl aficionados have never accepted digital reproduction. Analog sounds better, they say, and always has. I cannot agree or disagree with that premise, since I haven’t listened to my LP's for more than 30 years. Another consideration is that I am not a person of means enough to invest in turntables that cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars, and esoteric cartridges that require another huge cash outlay. But I had an ample collection of those LP's languishing in the closet, with many titles that I had not listened to in years, and along came this Sony with a belt-driven platter and a Bluetooth radio to boot. How could I resist the temptation? I couldn't, of course.
An Initial Challenge
This turntable is elegant and understated. The tone arm is shipped battened down to the it's rest, and the stylus is protected with a cover to secure it while you assemble the turntable. You must physically install the aluminum platter onto the spindle, and thread the belt which spans its inner diameter over the motor spindle. The instructions guide you through the process, but I mistook a vinyl appendage under the platter for the motor spindle. When I powered up, nothing happened. I quickly fixed the problem, found the motor spindle (it's metal), threaded it, and applied the black rubber mat to the top of the platter.
The literature states that the cartridge is of moving-magnet design. The stylus is replaceable, but the instructions do not indicate that other manufacturer's cartridges can be installed, which is understandable given the price of this device. With its dust cover installed, the assembly is quite attractive, and its all-black color will neutrally blend into virtually any home environment.
My receiver's low-level phono input had never been used until I attached this turntable's phono plug connectors. There is a three-level switch to adjust the output to suit your amplifier or receiver's sensitivity. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound. The records I played had been well cared for over the years, and, on most there was little groove noise, and relatively few pops and crackles. But some were present. Such is the nature of the interaction between grooves, vinyl, dust, styli and time. If you don't have a phono pre-amp on your receiver or amp, the turntable can also send a high-level "line" signal to one of your available inputs.
I would describe the "sound" of the Sony cartridge as neutral and well-balanced. I listened to several classical pieces and the imaging was precise. I just sat back and enjoyed the music, just as I would have so many years ago when LP's provided virtually the only high-fidelity sound source available in the home. I did have some initial reservations about the isolation provided by the turntable's feet. The Sony sat on a five-foot-wide hardwood enclosure which holds my other components. The floor is hardwood glued to a concrete slab. A 12-inch powered subwoofer is about twelve feet away. I listened at moderate to high volume without issue, so perhaps my reservations were unfounded. Still, in using this or any turntable, the user should be careful to protect the delicate stylus and careful to have the volume turned down when initially playing a record.
When the start button is pressed, the platter begins to turn, and the arm lifts and moves to the initial record groove, without the user having to touch anything but the button to initiate the process. If you want to pause, another button is pressed to lift the arm off the record in place. The upward and downward movement of the arm is nicely damped. Pressing the Stop button causes the arm to lift and return to its reset. The arm also returns to the rest if the entire side of the record is played through.
What about Bluetooth?
I have the diminutive Sony Bluetooth speaker, the SRS-XB21, sitting on a shelf on the other side of the large living room where the turntable is placed. I never thought I would be using it to listen to an LP on a turntable, but in a few minutes, I had the devices paired. The turntable will allow up to eight separate devices to be paired with it. The sound was just gorgeous. I was able to take the speaker into the next room to enjoy the music playing on the turntable. I have never understood how such rich sound can come from such a little speaker, but the input from this turntable was perfectly reproduced. I have another practical reason for using the Bluetooth feature which I will explain in more detail later.
USB Transfer
This turntable also has a USB output, but the cable is not supplied. I have one and connected the turntable to my computer to make a digital copy of one of my disks. I can't speak for all, but I am thinking this use for the turntable may be a significant purchasing reason for vinyl owners like me.
A Little Work, But It's Fun
"Ripping" LP's, of course must be done in real time. It requires the use of the Audacity software which Sony refers you to in the turntable manual. The audio runs from the phono amp on the turntable, through the USB cable and into your computer for processing. Depending on your operating system, you may need to adjust some of its audio-handling parameters to receive and process the signal from the turntable and monitor the signal while you record. Since I wanted to convert the tracks to mp3, Audacity required me to download a codec to accomplish that. In making the conversion, Audacity allows you to add the metadata from the song such as the artist, title, track number, etc. Once converted, Audacity also provides a means to edit the digital file, if needed, to trim it or to add fading, as the user may desire. The sampling rate selection affects both the audio quality and the ultimate size of the outputted file.
I was very pleased with the sound quality of the ripped mp3 files. Now, I suppose I am going to spend hour after hour listening to some of my long forgotten, but always-loved vinyl tracks while they are converted to digital form. It's a tough job, but somebody must do it, and I'm the man. Thank God, I have held on to those records after all these years. I am going to be having some great fun for many hours.
Bluetooth revisited
One issue that I had was deciding where to place the turntable. I promise, the design is beautiful, but all my existing audio-video equipment made permanent placement a challenge. My stuff is in a cabinet directly under a large flat panel tv mounted on the wall. To fully enjoy all the features of this turntable, it needs to be in proximity of both my computer and my receiver. But after I ripped the tracks for this review, my wife did not like the placement of the turntable on top of the audio-video cabinet I was using. I disconnected it and moved it to a built-in bookshelf in another part of the living room. Instant wife approval! From that location, I can use the Bluetooth connection to enjoy the music from the records, and simply move the turntable temporarily back to the audio-video cabinet for ripping sessions. I have a man-cave upstairs with an amplifier and computer set up which might also furnish a permanent resting place for the turntable and future ripping chores, but for now, the little black beauty stays where it is.
Wrap-Up
As you may have surmised, I very much like this turntable. It is affordable, physically attractive, practical, and has been a joy to use. And now my track-ripping duties are going to keep me busy for a long, long while. Oh, the torture!
Apr 04, 2019 09:36Brief
This is a solid choice for an un-complicated consumer grade turntable, which is fully automatic (One-button start and stop) and an integrated Bluetooth interface that works great, connecting automatically upon start.
Pros
- Minimalist design.
- Full-automatic operation: Three buttons up front: Cue List, start and stop. Inside the console, speed :33 1/3, 45 RPM, Size selector, and Bluetooth Control.
- Phono or Line output with gain control.
- USB audio output for converting to digital.
- Bluetooth listening.
Cons
- Belt Drive: Turntables can be either Belt-driven or direct-driven. Most consumer turntables are belt-driven, which produces stable speeds with less vibration, but the belts eventually wear out. It's very easy to replace with no tools by lifting the platter, but will need to find a replacement, fresh belt when the time comes.
- Bluetooth: It supports Bluetooth 4.2 with codecs SBC and Apt-X. It doesn't support AAC (which is used by Apple and others) and it also doesn't support Sony's own LDAC for high-definition Bluetooth audio, which is baffling considering the purpose of playing from a Turntable is to maintain audio fidelity. To be honest, the SBC codec is sufficient for playing with smaller speakers, but differences can be notable with headphones.
- Instead of providing RCA posts for audio output, it has permanently attached cable with RCA connectors. I have no idea why they would do that.
- The power supply is an external brick adapter. I find this very inconvenient.
- There is no lock on the arm, so if you need to move the turntable, the manual indicates the user needs to tie a string through the arm. Every turntable I used has a clip to lock the arm, except this one.
- The power button (standby) is on the back, which is the only way to turn it off completely.
- Likewise, the gain control is also on the back of the turntable. Gain settings can be adjusted when playing different records.
Observations
- Because it's a consumer turntable, it doesn't have strobe speed control. Not an issue for people that just wants to listen to music.
- The arm is very minimalistic. Very nice and lightweight. It works very well, but again, as a consumer turntable it doesn't provide weight adjustments.
Audio
- This is a proven mechanism that's very similar to previous Sony models, with a redesigned arm. The base of the plate is cast metal, which provides a stable foundation. The phono cartridge is Sony's MM type.
Comparative listening
Playing the same record: Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon, 2016 Remaster, which is a fine quality remaster in a heavy vinyl pressing, versus the 2003 CD, in my personal opinion, the LP produced warmer but detailed sounds. CD had more clarity but also more metallic sound. The turntable was able to produce the detailed background sounds this record is famous for.
Overall
While this is not, and does not pretend to be a pro-grade turntable, the overall design and appearance is very nice, with a fully-automatic mechanism to keep it a pleasant experience, and Bluetooth transmitter to make connecting the turntable as simple as possible, but there are obvious design flaws, although small, that would've been addressed in a better way.
Apr 11, 2019 22:55Vinyl has been making a comeback for years now and nothing is more evident of that than Sony putting out new record players like this one. So far, my experience has been pretty solid!
PROS:
- The player is really nice to look at. It has a matte black look with a slight speckle to it and the dust cover is nice. Overall this is a very modern yet simple looking player.
- Set Up is pretty easy. If you have or haven't used a vinyl record player before, it's easy to set up and the manual gives a lot of insight.
- For playing music you either need a Bluetooth speaker or a speaker you can plug the component L/R wires into. Straight forward music playing set up.
- Once you have it set up and connected to a speaker, playing music sounds excellent! I was really impressed with how good the sound is and overall operation of it is straight forward and not complex at all.
BLUETOOTH:
- I put Bluetooth in its own category because it has pros & cons. Once Bluetooth is connected, the record player works really well and is smooth, but getting to that point seems outdated. Basically, you need to hold the button on the speaker in pairing mode and hold the record player's Bluetooth pairing mode button at the same time until they connect. So it's not that it does not work, it just seems a little too basic for how expensive the record player. It maybe would be nice to have some sort of display screen to select which Bluetooth speaker you want to connect to or something like that.
- Regardless, it works well connecting! It just doesn't feel as nice as it could be.
CONS:
- It would have been nice if the player had a built in battery for portability purposes. Just would be an added benefit given how it already has Bluetooth capabilities.
- I really do not have issues with this vinyl speaker overall, very happy with it!
BOTTOM LINE:
- If you are looking to upgrade your current record player or buy your first one, you will not go wrong with this one. It looks really high end, has great ease of use, and the Bluetooth functionality is a great benefit!
Apr 03, 2019 18:31I bought this turntable so I can enjoy my records again, old turntable and speakers just not sounding good and found out it would cost alot to fix and not worth it. I did alot of research about bluetooth turntables thinking I could modernized and connect to my nose or the sound bar. Compared this with the audio technica turntable and opted for the Sony as they seemed comparable and the Sony was IN STOCK at Best Buy near me!
I found this easy to assemble. Connected to my Bose speaker via bluetooth after a couple of tries. Sound was much too quiet for my taste however. I was unable to connect it to the sound bar, may have needed to disconnect it from the tv which I was unwilling to do to my family. I opted to buy some bookshelf speakers (Edifier) and just use the RCA cable. Voila! Great sound easy to use. Just had to get used to the power button on the Sony turntable being in the back and make sure the output select is on
"line" and gain select is on "high".
I definitely recommend this turntable!
Mar 13, 2021 16:32I really love this turn table. I wanted one that has blue tooth and after reading reviews and researching I went with this one and I am so happy I did. One complaint is the felt on the bed comes up with the record.
Mar 06, 2021 09:23Tune sound quality with this Audio-Technica record care kit. It gently removes microdust, fingerprints and static to improve tracking and record life on LP and EP vinyl, and the brush pad and care solution work together to reverse daily wear. Generate high-quality sound by treating your records to this Audio-Technica record care kit
My records have been in storage for over 30 years. This made cleaning them up fast and easy.
Apr 16, 2019 13:46Bought this to match the brand of the turntable I bought. Only listen to records casually. Generally buy from secondhand or record stores.
This product has helped clean quite a bit of 'gunk' off of the ilder records Ive found. To be honest, you can only clean off so much previous, caked ok residue before you have to actually get a little more pressure on the record.
This product, though, can get the general grime and what not off of the record and helps shine it up. Disclaimer: i always take a soft cloth (or microfiber) to the record before to get the all of the loose hair and dust before using this product
Jun 15, 2021 17:48We experienced a lot of damage to our record collection which was down in the basement, from Hurricane Ida. This product made our records look brand new and was so easy to use. We haven't played them yet so I don't know about the sound quality but at least they are clean.
Nov 06, 2021 14:23Getting back into vinyl and figured I needed new cleaning kit. Used it as directed a few times but didn’t think velvet got moist after the 5 minute wait time. Now just put three drops directly onto velvet and clean album. Works much better.
Oct 22, 2021 16:38My son is into music. He makes beats and videos for his customers. It’s very important for him to take care of his equipment. This was a great purchase.
Oct 07, 2021 07:30This is a wonderful kit and works wonders on how my vinyl records sound. Many years ago, I never heard of anything like this. Then after I bought my new Audio- Tecnica turntable, I heard about this. When I first bought the turntable, I just played my records as is. But then after I bought this kit, it was like night and day.
Jan 15, 2021 16:17I’ve used this to clean some old (40-50 years) albums that had been in my parents’ attic. You can see all the dust it picks up. It’s not a deep cleaner per se but for surface dust & light fingerprints it seems to do the trick. I use this & an anti-static Boundless brush before spinning most of my records as it doesn’t take much time to let them spin a few times for a quick cleanup before dropping the needle. If you’ve got some heavy duty cleaning to do you might look into some other methods but this is a good option for a light, fast brush up.
Feb 06, 2021 11:01I only Gave 4 Stares,product a bit pricey for a 2 oz bottle of fluid.
Like the idea of fluid goes in the brush itself instead of a spray bottle. There are two ports on top of or backside of brush to inject fluid.
Apr 03, 2021 09:49The DP-300F has been designed with heavier base construction for reduced vibration and improved performance. This easy-to-operate fully automatic record player comes with a manual lifter mechanism that lets you to place the needle on the record wherever you want, so you can skip to a different song in the middle of a side. The tonearm has a removable headshell for ease of cartridge replacement, and features adjustable balance and anti-skating controls for proper tracking. The diecast aluminum platter produces uniform rotation for smooth flutter free operation. The turntable is powered by a DC servo motor and belt drive system and has rotation speeds of 33 1/3 or 45 rpm. Built-in phono equalizer preamp connects to almost any receiver or amplifier for an open, more enveloping soundstage. Includes a MM cartridge so you can enjoy your analog record collection right out of the box as soon as the DP-300F is connected to your home hi-fi system.
I would recomend this to any one that did not have at least 1k to spend on a better turntable this one plays great I have a sweet set up and my klipsch speakers never sounded so good
Apr 10, 2018 09:10I would describe myself as a budget audiophile, I try to look for the best sound for the money without going broke. While I do have some expensive speakers and amp the rest is based on value for the buck that is why I bought the Denon Turntable. I have had it for two months and I will now write a review.
I give this turntable 4 stars it is the best fully automatic turntable on the market. 4 stars because the turntable is hardwired instead of having RCA jacks so you can put on better quality cables
The instructions on adjusting the tonearm are vague in one area, luckily there is an excellent U tube video that shows exactly how to set it up. I also purchased a scale to measure the tone arm weight this allowed me to measure what the actual weight, and it was .5 grams off of what the dial said on initial set up now its spot on.
The cartridge that is standard has a Conical stylus, this rides high in the record grove and does not providing good high frequency response because it cant go down further in the grove. plus its harder on your vinyl, at the price point of this turntable the cartridge is the weakest point. I tossed it, and added a higher quality Grado Green with and Elliptical stylus. This is the only fully automatic turntable with a user replaceable cartage on the market, you can put on just about any one you can afford. All the other fully automatic turntable that I looked at did not have this feature so not worth the money as the cartridge is what produces the sound.
I got rid of the rubber platter mat and exchanged it for a cork mat in order to reduce static and increase the sound quality which it did.
I found out that both the phono preamps I had, the one built in my AV receiver (I am using my AV receiver as the preamp for a higher power amp in my system in order to drive 4 ohm electrostatic speakers.) and the one built in to the turntable did not supply a high enough output as I had to turn the volume up on the AV receiver to maximum to get it to a good listening level. I ended up purchasing a high gain phono preamp that increased the level from 40db to 60 db and it works perfect now.
The turntable places the stylus on the record very smoothly no sodden drop, no wow or flutter or turntable rumbling. I cant comment on the sound as it would be discussing the upgraded cartridge and preamps sound.
Dec 03, 2016 12:44A great young man helped me out. He was polite, well-informed, answered all my questions so that I was able to make an informed choice about a record player with speakers and tuner/amp.
Oct 16, 2021 08:53For the price it is worth to buy it is basically an automatic and it can be used semi auto it also has what i think are two great features it is auto start and auto stop if you like it can be stopped in the middle of a record and return to arm rest with one push of a button very good for the price
Oct 22, 2021 17:44The assembly for the turntable is easy, you just have to follow the simple instructions and it’s ready to go. This is my second record player but my first one over $100. The design is simple, yet sleek and sturdy. It has some weight to it, which is good. This definitely has more to it than my previous one. I still need to read all the instructions to get the best sound and use but overall I am loving this turntable.
Nov 01, 2019 16:23Pretty good turntable, however the cartridge appears to be inferior. I am basing this on the sound quality I was used to from my old B&O, so this may not be a fair comparison. I will purchase a better cartridge shortly and that will take care of it. Otherwise I am happy with my purchase
Aug 06, 2021 16:38This turntable works like a champ (at this price point). As my first turntable it is easy to set up and I love the auto off feature it offers. The only inconvenience part is the length of the phono cable. I definitely recommend it if you look for a solid turntable at a affordable price range.
Jan 02, 2020 23:07Such an easy to use turntable, love the automatic features. Sound quality is fantastic and I love that it has the built in preamp
Nov 01, 2021 19:14Spin your favorite classic LPs with this Audio Technica automatic turntable. The DC servo belt drive keeps the motor running at a constant speed for optimal performance, while a fully automatic mechanism lets you play vinyl records with the touch of a button. This Audio Technica automatic turntable has an RCA output for wired connectivity to powered speakers, computer or stereo.
I purchased based on multiple positive reviews and was not disappointed. Plays well and sounds fantastic when hooked to my receiver. My receiver does not have a dedicated "phono" slot, so I just used the CD one instead, since I never use CD's anymore. Works fine. Put the whole setup on my desk, as shown in pictures with this review.
This is not a bluetooth version, which is fine, as I just connected directly to my receiver as shown in the photo. Be sure to have some headphones to bring out the sound correctly.
I especially like the automatic button control that is missing from the more expensive Audio Technica turntable. Just push a button to either stop or start and the unit returns the tone arm once album complete. Also has a separate button raise and lower the tone arm to stop and start as well as place anywhere on the record and lower safely.
Note that this plays 33 and 45 speed but not 78, in case you want to play very old vintage records (which I don't).
Its been years since I have listened to music with "cracks" and "scratches" inherent in old records and I love it!
Don't let the low price scare you. This is a quality machine and super easy to use. Plays well with no adjustments needed.
Dec 25, 2019 15:34Im happy my purchase Turntable AT-LP60X. Its a very high quality product and i will to buy Best Buy again.
Jun 13, 2019 11:56I love this record table. Great value for the money. Please buy this instead of a crosley I’ve had no issues. I plug it to my jbl speaker with an auxiliary cord and it’s sounds amazing. It’s super easy to use as well.
Oct 16, 2020 16:27I love this record player, definitely a step up from my old one!
Feb 12, 2021 20:48A great turntable for an even better price. The stepup from the ATLP60 is even better, and truly is great for the price. It’s a great record player for someone who isn’t new when it comes to records, but isn’t exactly a “veteran” either. A very good record player. I use a pair of powered logitech speakers with this turntable and it sounds great. The preamp is a great convenience and makes things a little less expensive. Would 100% recommend.
Sep 18, 2020 22:36I purchased this for my daughter and I chose it because the specifications specifically said it is bluetooth enabled. I bought the turntable only as she has bluetooth speakers. She is not happy now as she has no way to hook them to her current speakers. I have no idea if this even works since she set it up, but no speakers.
Apr 17, 2020 15:24This turntable sounds surprisingly good for the price. It was quite easy to set up, basically plug and play. I have a large vinyl collection, mostly LP’s I bought 40 or more years ago. This turntable has brought this old recordings back to life. After hearing only digital music for long, vinyl sounds so refreshing. What a great sound for $100.
Feb 19, 2021 16:55I absolutely love this turntable it is very high-quality premium and easy to use. I originally bought one of those suitcase turntables or should I say record players and let me just tell you do not buy the suitcase turntables spend the extra money and get this turntable the sound quality is amazing you get premium features and it’s made out of premium materials you will not regret buying this turntable. I do want to mention that this turntable does not come with speakers built-in so you’ll have to buy some separately or hook it up to your existing sound system like I did! Now right out of the box it sounded terrible just like the suitcase record players but I had it on the wrong setting because it was set to that setting out of the box but once I got it to the right setting for the connections that I had it sounded amazing so just wanted to let you know if it doesn’t sound good at first make sure you have it on the right setting!
Apr 02, 2021 16:35The Pioneer AVH-2550NEX 6.8" VGA touchscreen DVD Receiver offers seamless integration with you smartphone. These options are Apple CarPlay®, Android™ Auto, Weblink, Spotify® and Pandora® controls, built-in Bluetooth®, HD Radio™, iDatalink to name a few. It has an intuitive, customizable VGA interface where you can set your home screen to display your favorites.
Access to Spotify alone makes this purchase worth it. It's as much fun as getting a TV for the first time. I can choose what bands want to listed to -- things I'd never hear on terrestrial radio like: Dispatch, Lucky Boys Confusion, The Czars, Australian Country Music Artists, almost anything you can imagine!
The user interface can be tricky though. You cannot easily input a new GPS destination EVEN WHEN STOPPED because the car is worried you're driving. I usually have to pull the jack out or speak loudly towards the microphone --several times in a row-- to get voice activation to work.
Still, this is so much more enjoyable than my factory head unit. I can't wait to take even a grocery store trip so I can listen to Spotify.
Nov 20, 2020 20:56I bought this item on 9/16/2020, I was able to get it installed 2 weeks after 9/16. I waited 2 weeks for a harness and interface to fit a 2012 Malibu. Literally a week after installation, CarPlay quit working. I got a message and took a picture of it. I called Bestbuy, and unfortunately I don’t have their extended warranty, so they didn’t help me. I called Pioneer Electronics and that was a total disaster. They have no idea what this product even existed and I thought that was strange. I am dealing with it now, and for those that do not care about Apple CarPlay or the USB connection, take your shot but you’ll probably have a better experience with this product than I did. But, if I can go back, I would have got a different brand. Pioneer electronics are not very helpful.
Nov 06, 2020 18:28I installed this in my 2009 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited to replace the factory radio. I also installed the iDatalink Maestro module to retain all of the factory original features and was required in order to control front to rear fade as I kept the factory Infinity amplifier. The Maestro also gives me an engine gauge screen on the new Pioneer, tire pressure, door status, battery voltage, and engine error code display/reset via the ODB connector. I also replaced all of the factory speakers. JBL Harman components in the front, JBL coaxials in sound bar, and a Pioneer low profile sub in the rear. Finally I also installed a backup camera which is displayed on the Pioneer screen. So far I love the Pioneer head unit. Amazing sound quality, great features. I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Android Auto is really cool. Allows me to run Waze navigation and other apps like Pandora when my phone is plugged into the Pioneer USB port. My only complaints, thus the 4 stars: (1) Wish there were two USB ports, keep switching between USB thumb drive loaded with music files and my phone for navigation. (2) Control buttons on left side are rather small. Overall a great radio and great price! Was $450 but got it on sale for $299. TIP: The Metra dash install/trim kit I used has very soft/cheap plastic, cracks easily. I've read that Scosche makes a better quality one and will pursue that brand for future installs.
Dec 09, 2019 09:41So far- so good. Really nice unit with capability to do so much. I plan on adding on the Maestro feature this spring, along with cameras. That’s what I like about it....if you can’t afford to do everything at once, you can add features 1 by 1. I’ve never been a pioneer fan, I usually like Kenwood. But, after seeing a review on the Money Pit feature on Donut media’s Facebook page- pitting pioneer against the exact Kenwood model I was contemplating, it won me over. Granted....the unit they reviewed was a 1500 NEX- if I went with a more expensive model it should be just as good, if not better. The call quality on both ends are great. After seeing mine - I have friends and family looking to upgrade.
Mar 04, 2021 09:07The best car stereo I've ever had. I'm still learning all the stuff this stereo can do. I have before and after pictures.
Jul 17, 2019 20:21No Disappointments here! Expect nothing less from pioneer. Always satisfied with their products. Apple Car play works flawlessly.
Oct 18, 2021 22:34Absolutely love the pioneer audio
Everything I was looking for and at a reasonable price
Oct 22, 2021 15:56I love it definitely recommend it anybody looking for a good radio
Oct 04, 2021 20:51What a performer, what a woman so sore for and so heartfelt her music and her words are all inspiring
Dec 10, 2021 10:35Batteries delivered as ordered and high quality. They worked in application very well.
May 13, 2020 10:42My daughter and I are diehard Adele fans, and we really enjoyed the back story told through this dvd/cd pack. The cd that comes in this pack is the audio version of the dvd.
Jul 16, 2016 21:52I watched this and wished I was there. Can tell you how refreshing it is to hear a real singer
Oct 20, 2018 17:36This movie is a perfect outline of Adele's rise to fame with her impeccable musical talent. Highly suggested to people who are fans of her.
Jun 02, 2016 12:18It is great to see the history of this great singer. Very soulfull. Love her music and her attitude
Jun 17, 2016 17:03This package has both a movie documentary on Adeles story and a cd with some of her interviews. It mostly talks about how she began in the music industry and her first albums. It was very informative about how she began her music career, I just wished it had more music videos or concert clips. Over all it was nice.
May 13, 2016 22:39Really love Adele. It was fun to watch and learn more about her.

pretty good radio just dont like i need the emergency brake on to watch dvds
Sep 05, 2021 20:52Lots of features for a great price. I buy sacds and dvd audio discs. I was amazed that they played in the unit! Great power too. Would have given 5 stars but the instructions are less than explicit. Takes time to access certain adjustments.
Jul 26, 2019 18:09Keep your vinyl record jackets in pristine condition with these Crosley vinyl record outer sleeves. The plastic construction protects contents against dust and scratches, while the 25-count pack lets you preserve multiple albums. These Crosley vinyl record outer sleeves are precisely sized to provide a proper fit and are reusable for added convenience.
Outer sleeves are good - pretty standard, like you would get a store already on your album. Not as clear as the Groove Vinyl sleeves (these are slightly cloudy) and are softer/less sturdy. If you are aware of the Groove Vinyl outer sleeves they are very clear (Albums look great inside the sleeve) but they are a bit stiff. These are soft and a touch cloudy, but protect your LPs just fine for a bit less $
Oct 07, 2021 12:33I prefer the kind with the fold over flap but this was all I could get here. The thickness is nice and doesn’t make an annoying crackle. Once you open it and put a sleeve in it it’s pretty easy to get it in and out. I only bought the pack of 25 and found it wasn’t enough so I’m getting more
Oct 11, 2021 15:01Excellent well made item,great for a collector of lps.
Jul 23, 2021 17:08These are a bit on the thin side but, if you take good care of your records, it's not really an issue. They have a slightly powdery feel to them but I don't consider that to be a problem.
Jan 23, 2021 13:18I bought these for protecting some of my more valuable records. They're SLIGHTLY thinner than the sleeves I've bought in the past but also considerably cheaper. They're really nice quality and can easily fit standard and gatefold records. I'll definitely be buying these again once I run out.
Sep 21, 2020 13:3612 Inch Protective LP Sleeves for protecting vinyl record jackets from shelf wear.
Vinyl records are making a huge comeback and these are a must have for protecting the the outer sleeve (jacket). They fit single and gate fold covers nicely.
A great way to protect your vinyl collection.
Jun 23, 2020 17:20Great way to protect records. They are good quality and clear so can still display the vinyl cover. I am very satisfied with the purchase.
Jul 02, 2020 07:13these are great to help protect your vinyl records if they do not already have plastic

Works well does everything I wanted it to do would not suggest that if you never installed one I would let someone else do it the installation kit is not as easy as they say and instructions are poor. Installed in 2004 2500 Dodge pickup
Jan 17, 2020 20:38Kenwood has done it again. Another fantastic product and performs flawlessly. The touch is very responsive and layout is eazy to navigate while driving. A ton of sound options as well as custom accents. A great radio. Graphics are 4k tv quality.
Oct 04, 2019 06:30Works as advertised. I really enjoy the ease of the use.
Mar 26, 2021 19:37Pretty dam good deck does everything I could imagine and more.
Nov 01, 2019 17:01Really like the unit...does everything I wanted it to ...love the android auto
Mar 20, 2020 18:23The stereo worked great for the first year. Now it will not connect to my phone. It cuts in and out on music. Attached is the picture that happens when I plug the phone in. I took a lot of time looking at and comparing stereos.
Feb 07, 2021 20:09Pros: Clear screen, lots of functions, clear screen when playing DVD's
Cons: instruction manual lacks android auto setup, no remote.
Purchased this unit as an upgrade from a previous Kenwood. I really like the touchscreen. Its clear to see on the brightest days. Also there's multiple functions including dvd player and backup camera capability. I've tried to setup the android auto function on my own since the manual doesn't mention it, but I haven't figured it out as of yet. Not a big deal though. There is no remote which would make it alil easier when driving.
Overall, this is a pretty good unit and would recommend it to anyone who's looking to upgrade.
Aug 20, 2020 22:40I have a 2004 F-150 pickup, which until yesterday had the factory radio....pre-MP3, pre-Bluetooth, pre Android, Pre-Iphone/pod/pad.....it had Am/FM and played CDs.
Bought this last week to come out of the dark ages, and learned at checkout the installer had just quit. Tried to call the next nearest Bestbuy (65 miles away), but no answer for 3 days.
Woke up yesterday and decided to just throw it in myself. Soldered and shrink-wrapped all the connections to the wiring harness, ran the microphone wire, and voila....21st century tech in my 15 year old truck.
Sounds great, Android Auto integrates everything in.....navigation, Bluetooth phone and music, address book, etc. very impressive. Download the whole manual...it comes with the quick start guide but the real one is 108 pages. It even updated the time automatically. Capabilities are almost overwhelming.
I was going to spring for the one with onboard GPS, but this is actually better because my phone and Google Maps are always current, and I’ve used the phone for years for navigation...now I can just have the map broadcast onto the dash screen.
Nov 03, 2019 11:21Refine the quality of your audio with this PylePro ultracompact preamp. Its extra-low-noise audio operation converts phono signals to line-level signals for improved clarity of sound. This PylePro ultracompact preamp is universally compatible to turntables and other studio equipment, and can accommodate magnetic pickups to tailor your sound production needs.
I bought this pre amp to try as a second one against my music hall mini. I have 7 different tables and and two different setups so I have a good comparison. I wanted to have both my tables connected to switch between easily and this was cheap. It does work. But the sound quality is lacking despite its specs. The highs are cut off and muted in comparison to the music hall. The quality is greatly diminished and doesn’t do the vynil justice. The grounding lug is so tight that you have to turn it by wrench. I am disappointed and will use it for now until I can get another music hall.
Oct 28, 2021 14:47I bought this when I realized my Harman Kardon receiver didn't have a phono input. This pre-amp is working great — my turntable's sound quality is unbeatable and everything sounds wonderful & clear.
Nov 11, 2021 11:02Plug and play. Very easy to use and works great. Would definitely recommend!
Nov 03, 2020 15:04I wanted to get something inexpensive just to play records for my Sonos system. This worked great. I would have given it 5 stars if it had a power button.
Jul 19, 2020 09:22Discovered when hooking up a new receiver that it did not contain an amplifier for my turntable like the previous model. The solution was to order this part that interfaces between the turntable and the receiver. Not happy to have an added piece of equipment, no matter how small, but it works well and I can once again listen to my 45's and 33's.
Dec 30, 2016 22:27This pre-amp preformed very well and met all of my exceptions. There was no distortions detected and the unit was very quiet in the system.
Jun 12, 2021 08:13Exactly what I needed to play vinyl albums I hadn’t heard in nine years. I easily installed it in my home theater and it works like a charm.
Sep 17, 2021 16:22This replaced my generic one. It's hooked up into my TCL sound bar with woofer and records sound great! 6/5 stars if i could.
Apr 23, 2021 17:20Vinyl audio has authenticity that digital can’t compete with, but you can’t argue with the convenience of modern wireless speakers either. With the Insignia NS-BTST21 Bluetooth Stereo Turntable, you can enjoy old school music using the latest technology. The turntable’s semi-automatic belt-drive design plays your 33-1/3 and 45 rpm 12-inch records. Its adjustable counterweight and magnet cartridge provide reliable tracking and a rich sound that help you lose yourself in the music. Connect a Bluetooth speaker wirelessly to make your music portable, or plug in your tried-and-true wired speakers with one simple connection. After your record is done playing, the turntable will turn off automatically and the detachable cover shields your turntable when it’s not in use. Music holds a lot of memories, and it can also create new ones. Make them count with this Insignia Bluetooth turntable.
Was concerned about buying a house brand (Insignia is Best Buy’s brand). But I am so happy I purchased this turntable. High why and the cartridge is top notch. So far, so great!
Oct 22, 2021 17:59I purchased this as a re-entry into vinyl and so far it's been great. The sound quality is great. It has features I expect on higher-end turntables like a counterweight and an upgradable stylus. The Bluetooth connectivity allows me to connect directly to the speakers. I highly recommend this.
Oct 19, 2021 22:26I purchased this turntable to use with my Edifier Bluetooth speakers. Easy to pair and sounds great.
Oct 22, 2021 17:14This product was pretty great. I would like to add that this specific turntable will need a receiver to get things going, so when shopping for these guys, keep that in mind!

Jan 29, 2021 15:16i ordered this expecting to receive the wooden one pictured. got a black one. tried to return for correct item. was told the manufacturer sku was same for all so no way to choose.
Nov 18, 2021 16:31The greatest Beatles album is Let It Be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mar 05, 2021 09:05Super easy to put together and looks nice in the room!

This multifunction machine revives your old albums with multiple playing options, and Bluetooth compatibility works with modern smartphones. The two-way detachable speaker system delivers smooth sounds from this Sharp mini stereo system.
Works great bass is amazing love everything about this system
Apr 29, 2021 21:26I love the music quality. It is nice to have a cd player, radio and cassette player all in one. My only problem is that I can not find a power button on the actual unit. Usually your first set of batteries come with the remote, but since they didn't I have not been able to find the power button. I love the unit other then that. I have even hooked up the Bluetooth to the device. The surround sound makes it sound like the bands are right in the house with me.
Jan 16, 2021 12:16It has been so long since I 've been able to get lost in my music. But with the 5 CD changer I am in music heaven. Being able to play 5 CDs was the reason I purchased this item. The system does a lot and it has taken me a bit to get familiar with all the buttons. ECO will turn off main display. Have not figured out to keep the time on the display....but I will. And the music plays on.
Mar 12, 2017 13:08This is a very nice component. The sound is fantastic and I thoroughly enjoy listening to my favorite music, whether it’s cd, cassette or radio. I am impressed. Also, I don’t have to change my cd after it ends because I have 4 more that will play.
Jan 02, 2021 12:32I purchased this stereo system, it was not what I expected. Without raising the base to level five sound sounds like crap. So you have to raise the base level to level five and it still sounds like crap you have to push the button for extra bass in order for you. To hear the sound that you should normally here at level five without extra bass. When you hit the button for extra bass it’s still not loud enough. When you hit the button to lower the volume level of the base level it will not go back down to level one it stays locked. And when you hit the CD open up the door for city one it opens up and closes instantly before you can even put the CD in. The font lettering on the stereo system is sooooooo small in print Font you can barely even read what it says the stereo system it’s not worth the price that they’re selling it for very disappointed also you cannot store your favorite radio stations with a remote control. You have to search for your favorite radio station. System is hard to set up for Bluetooth. Very unhappy with this product As you can see in the pictures you can’t even see the font lettering even up close in the picture. This is a crappy product. Not worth $219 with taxes
Jul 31, 2021 10:27The music quality is very good. So easy to pair up the Bluetooth and i love the extra bass. Makes the music louder.
Jun 12, 2020 15:51This stereo has all of the features that I was looking for. I can load 5 cds and start them playing. They will play progressively on their own for a long time while I work. I also have a large collection of cassettes from the 80s. It can play them too. The fm works ok. I will add a tv antenna and cable, which will plug into the back. There is one thing that I really do not like about it. You have to use the remote to 'boot' it up. Tell me what if the batteries corrode in the remote.
Apr 05, 2019 22:08This Sharp mini stereo is just what I wanted. Compact but performs like a larger system. I have tested all components and have been satisfied with it.
I suggest that before you operate this mini stereo that you read the instructions and the online Q&As. This definitely helped me to avoid issues since I was aware of setup and became familiar with the main unit and remote prior to using it. A lot of buttons to push but taking the time to learn the mini stereo system was beneficial.
Sep 01, 2020 11:04Share your tunes no matter where you roam with this Toshiba portable boom box. The top-loading CD player lets your play your entire collection, and an AM/FM tuner means you can stay on top of the news or the latest hits. This Toshiba portable boom box offers memory storage for up to 30 of your favorite stations.
Hard to find CD players nowadays, they have the way of the cassette deck. Nice to be able to play some old collectibles with this little player.
Feb 12, 2021 09:41Worked as expected. instructions were clear so inserting batteries and playing CDs or radio was easy.
Jan 30, 2021 09:16I listen to mostly audio books. This is a nice little item that meets all of my needs. Great value!
Aug 12, 2019 11:04The Toshiba boom box is just what I wanted for my bedroom. At night when I read it fills the room with my music as I relax.
Jan 18, 2019 17:29I love it, it's getting very hard to find these. I have so many CD's
and my old player was wearing out, so now I have a new one !
Aug 17, 2019 06:20Never expected this radio to be sooooo small, very disappointed!...
Mar 05, 2021 21:41The fine print and proximity to each other make it difficult to operate. It was purchased for use in a group home with developmental challenged individuals and is unlike that it can be used independently and some staff mentioned difficulty in operated, even those with advanse degrees
Jun 26, 2020 16:49My son wanted to replace his old desk top stereo system and found this one. It has all the functions he was looking for and takes up very little space.

Great upgrade from my 2011 Camaro's stock radio. The only "wish" I had was volume control when using Android Auto. When using the radio you simply make circles on the touchscreen to increase (clockwise) or decrease (counterclockwise) the volume. In Android Auto mode, you have to use the tiny volume up/down buttons. Other than that, everything is great. Matched with Kicker CS Series speakers all around.
Mar 25, 2020 19:22Android auto was awesome but it stopped working a few days ago due to my battery being trained and adding steering wheel button converter for the head unit I'm assuming because those are the last things I did before it stopped working but before that is great
Jun 07, 2021 03:22JVC My 1 St I like all the things but if you have it on GPS I did not find a way to play the radio. I find it a bit hard to use and I did not have Boynton install it it take two weeks so went to an other store grate install fast and clean but did not spend any time on how too use it. Day I boat it getting help is just bad like if you are at Walmart I did get the rune a round had to get a MGR to get me help never can get help at this store and I spend $$. This time I was sold all the parts for the install.
Jun 12, 2019 23:32still figuring out how to use it, but connects to phone nicely, play music through IHeart radio on my phone. Very happy with my purchase.
Aug 08, 2020 09:32it’s a little different from the pioneer but the $100 difference slows in not only picture quality but overall user experience. highly recommend. installed on a 2007 jeep patriot
Aug 15, 2020 12:10Keeps on losing sound out of nowhere, I’d have to turn it off and turn it back on just to get the sound back!
Jul 25, 2020 09:36We bought a used 12 lincoln navigator and the stereo in it was just outdated. The navigation system was clunky and hard to use, and the bluetooth wasn't the best quality. We upgraded to this stereo and the calls are perfectly clear, the apple carplay works perfectly. We are so happy.
Jason, our tech did an amazing job of installing it for us and showing us how it all worked before we left. I could not be happier with this purchase.
Jul 12, 2021 07:30Replaced a stock radio on my Tahoe. Has all the features I wanted.
Installed it myself, with the purchase of the PAC harness and dash kit. Install was about an hour, retained all my steering wheel controls. Absolutely love the fact that this is totally hands free calling and text. GPS runs through the phone but does reflect on the unit. Great radio for the price.

I needed a new radio for my commuter car. I didn’t really need the CD player but, that’s no problem. Long as I could use the radio through the Bluetooth on my iPhone. I can so I am happy with that. It’s got lots of good features that you have come to expect from a Pioneer stereo. Having the option to be able to change the display colors is always a bit of a fun option. I know Pioneer has had the option for several years but, it’s always a good feature. You definitely get everything you are looking for here too. Great sound quality with multiple different pre set sound settings you can use. It’s nice to have the hands free availability to talk on your phone. You just have to install the microphone that comes with it. Overall, I really like the radio and I will buy another Pioneer unit again.
Oct 17, 2021 16:50I installed it very easily in a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. Installation was easy.
This unit gave a new life to the van. I listen to streaming music and talk to friends, so the Bluetooth connection and hand free microphone is perfect.
The sound quality is also very good. It is crisp, has really good bass and equalizer settings.
I like the face plate with the multi-led colors. The fact that it is detachable is a bonus.
There is an cell phone app that can work with it and it is pretty good.
I removed one star because the Bluetooth connection takes a tad too long when i start the car. In one instance the connection got lost. I also don’t like that I can’t turn off the unit. Maybe I mounted it wrong but there is no simple on/off button on it. The last annoyance is the mobile app. I have to accept a warning each time the phone connects.
Overall great unit at really low price.
Jan 16, 2020 02:27Nice compact powerful unit, a lot to know. I wish they would give you more than a quick start guide had download a lot of information.
Nov 05, 2021 15:39Works and looks great, no problems with bluetooth like some of the others i read reviews on
Jun 19, 2020 22:33Had Best Buy people install it, works great! Sound is still clear and not distorted or noisy at all. Easy to use
Apr 18, 2020 17:39I am
listening to it now more than what I expected
The Blue tooth and microphone are good they can hear me clear on my calls.
Jul 02, 2021 19:39Works great!!Learning how to use it was a little difficult, but after that it was awesome!!Also did great jobs on both installs!!
Jul 30, 2021 16:01Work excellent the customer was very satisfied with the product and the installation
Jun 26, 2021 13:11Keep your record player clean for smooth play with this Crosley Groove Goo vinyl record cleaner. The cleaner eliminates dirt, dust and debris without leaving scratch marks. This Crosley Groove Goo vinyl record cleaner has a fresh scent to remove bad odors and comes in a convenient jar with a lid.
This slime is awesome for cleaning the interior of your car. It's basically the product I know of to help you reach very hard to get to crevices in your car. My car is 2yrs old and it still looks brandnew inside with the help of this stuff. Far better than vacuuming. It doesn't last forever, so buy a couple of them and stock up. I have found the same quality product for $2 to $3 cheaper on Amazon thou.
Dec 10, 2020 12:44Works great for removing dusk and debris but it is also very sticky and easily sticks to record
Jun 09, 2021 07:26Gets all the dust and other stuff off your records and its fun.
Mar 01, 2021 07:19This stuff works great and does exactly what’s in the description.
Feb 13, 2021 13:07Works great and doesn't damage the records. Easy for my daughter to use.
Jan 03, 2021 11:12I play vinyl non stop and this Goo is a time saver in cleaning off any dust or air dirt. It’s perfect! Highly suggested.
Sep 12, 2020 16:03At first i was like, Na wont work. Sticky icky does a great job. Works great. Going to order another one today. Highly recommend it. Omar.
Jul 10, 2020 16:30This is the most crazy item I have ever purchased for records. Remember that goo you could buy...I have long forgotten the name...and you should do the same with this product too!
Apr 06, 2021 20:56Save treasured family memories with this VIDBOX VHS to DVD converter. Ideal for beginners, this small unit features Easy Wizard Mode to transfer tapes at a touch, while Creative Mode includes the ability to edit video and upload to social media. This versatile VIDBOX VHS to DVD converter even creates photo slideshows and audio files to capture all your special moments.
Chances are, you or your parents have some old home videos on VHS, VHS-C, Hi-8 or Mini-DV tapes that are locked in storage somewhere. These tapes are bulky making them complex to organize and store. If you are to digitize them, they will take as long as the videos. It's not like a Bluray or DVD where a copy can be made within 10 minutes.
If you keep the tapes, two major things can happen. One-the film used to capture the recording will deteriorate and the tape can no longer be played. Two-you wait so long that devices needed to play them are no longer in existence or in production so you end up scrolling through Craigslist, eBay and or visiting a thrift store hoping to find a working player.
Well, nowadays, almost every family owns a computer/laptop. With that being said, this capturing device and software is all you need to transfer your old videos onto your laptop. I don't use the DVD recorder because that itself will become a problem later in life when disc players become obsolete. I mean I don't even own a DvD/Bluray player. My laptops do not have disc drives. The only way I wold be able to watch is kick my kids of their PS4 to utilize it.
However, I do use the format converter so videos can be converted into a Youtube friendly format to be uploaded. This way, your videos are forever safe and can be shared with your family and friends with a single click. The formats offered are mp2 and wmv. Which is sufficient because if you're transferring old videos from tapes, their maximum resolution will be 720x480. You do not need anything beyond that resolution. I have transferred a handful of very lengthy 4 hour long VHS and VHS-C tapes flawlessly. Do this now before VHS players become inaccessible.
Apr 11, 2020 19:42Very easy to use. Has wizard mode which make conversion to digital very very easy and advanced mode which give further control to make this a very easy powerful device. Offers many digital file formats and editing features. Very pleased!
Mar 26, 2019 09:30VHS to DVD 9.0 will digitize video from virtually any source that can output it's signal thru either composite (the yellow, red & white RCA plugs) or S-video cables. And you can save your digitized video into several common video and DVD formats, going straight to DVD or saving as MPEG or VCD files. I just finished doing over 20 VHS cassettes of old home movies, and will soon start converting about as many mini-cassettes from our old Sony video recorder. VHS to DVD 9.0 comes with software to edit video (add sound, titles, transitions, add or delete clips, etc) but it is relatively slow even on my new Windows 10 Dell desktop (thus the 4 star rating). My wife, kids and grandkids are enjoying watching the videos on the big TV without all the hassle of a VCR machine. I'm a very satisfied grandpa.
Mar 02, 2019 14:29This is the first product like this I've used. I've been struggling with it. I did find after reading the online user manual twice that you should burn a DVD at slower speed. I thought that was the answer to my DVDs not playing on my DVD player. It worked once, then not the next time. Advanced mode is not really intuitive. USA customer support, which is nice, but they recommend you read the manual first. I called back after I read the manaul, then i got a little more help. The people at Best Buy couldn't help me much either, as this is an "outdated" thing to do. I am still hopeful I will be able to convert my over 30 VHS and 8mm tapes to DVD and save them on my PC before I give up! I would probably still recommend it to a friend if they were computer savvy since the only other choice is paying a much higher price to have tapes professionally transferred.
Jan 16, 2021 15:10It works if you want to burn a dvd that will play on your computer only. I was unable to copy a home vhs tape to dvd and play on any of my dvd players. Maybe I did something wrong.
Nov 06, 2021 21:33This works great for me. I wanted a system to capture my old VHS and Hi8's and this does a great job doing that. I also wanted a system that the files can be saved in a format so I can use some of my editing programs that I like to use. This does that. I have not tried the VIDBOX editing program since I use my own but it is there if I need it.
This is the perfect system for my use.
Sep 24, 2021 17:07I copied a vhs tape to a dvd and could not view the video. I then copied the tape to my laptop, then burned it to a dvd and was able to view it. I sent it to someone to see if they could view it, but they couldn't. believe it has to do with a missing codec. It's a good product and I'm still trying to figure out a few things with it.
Oct 19, 2020 12:37For years I wondered how I would transfer old VHS-C tapes which I took of my kids when they were little, grade school, Mid and High School, etc. Looked at companies online and the cost was truly prohibited. When I saw this software at BB, wondered how good the transfer quality and overall product would be. To my surprise, this product has performed tremendously. Everything loaded with no problems to my PC. The only drawback is getting a hang of how to edit some of my videos but thru trial and error, have now gotten the hang of it. Worth the buy!
Jul 23, 2021 20:50Stream wireless music from Bluetooth-enabled devices with this single DIN BOSS Audio in-dash stereo. The preset EQ offers various combinations to suit your sound preference, and the Electronic Skip Protection feature delivers continuous performance for the CD player. This BOSS Audio in-dash stereo supports USB charging and file tagging for added functionality, and the remote control provides effortless operation.Geek Squad® installation is strongly recommended for this product. Please visit your local Best Buy store for details.
Had everything in that it needed to hook up a little basic knowledge needed generally good product was missing remote control from box Best Buy wouldn’t help I contacted boss audio and they sent me a new Remote control that same week
Dec 06, 2019 16:03The new radio I purchased from Best Buy works great. It’s one of the cheaper ones that they had in the store and I have no complaints whatsoever. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family.
Dec 07, 2018 16:16After sending the unit back, and had Best Buy replace, I had to call the product tech support. They pointed out an ambiguity in wiring instructions that prevented power from coming on. In no way was this problem Best Buys fault! They were exceptional in their willingness to replace item and provide free UPS shipping lable.
Oct 12, 2021 15:29Nice for my fun truck. My old but nice truck named Justintime. This replaced an broken radio and it sounds great.
Oct 01, 2021 15:50I got some nice surprises with my purchase so I am extremely happy.
Apr 23, 2021 15:21Works well in my car and works well with speakers I bought.
Dec 16, 2020 20:01I'd give it five stars... but it's not quite there. The stereo itself is great. Big display, plays all types of media, and is easy to operate. The sound from the speakers is acceptable for a $60 head unit. It's not concert quality, but it's not bad at all. The blue tooth however, is... well it is. Can be kind of spotty, and from what I hear from people on the other side of the phone call; it sounds "tinny". The one other thing that takes a star away is the silly, faux, sound bar to the left edge of the display. It serves no purpose but to annoy, or confuse. It just pulses constantly with no rhyme or reason, no coordination to sound or volume that I can discern. A feature that isn't really a feature as much as a distraction. I think if that silly thing were absent from the unit, it would be a 5 star (for the money) unit.
Jan 13, 2020 05:58Radio is fine. I bought this radio for it's bluetooth for handsfree phone. You cannot activate it by nor can you load a contact list and it does not use your phones contact list. You have to initiate the call from your phone and then it will connect. Very disappointed - no where does it say this in any of the info.

I like the unit it functions well, however their app for my phone is too hard to get connected and requires you to plug it in to the unit at first to get it to work. Instead of just working with full functions via Bluetooth. Once you get that to work it’s not too bad. The sound is average and it being a DVD player means a lot can play on it. There is another annoying thing is when you put in the usb and are searching folders the folders are not what you named them. Instead they are a number and not in order. Too much to deal with when you’re driving.
Jul 18, 2020 07:28Best radio I ever had so many amazing features. Get your car vin connected to your radio and you will get to se and reset engine light codes.
Mar 19, 2021 22:12It's been MANY years since I went shopping for head units, mainly because stock systems are so great these days. However, I picked up a 1992 MR2 and it definitely needed modernized.
I was pretty surprised to see how much bang for the buck this unit is. It connects flawlessly with my phone and does a stellar job. I also like the fact that it has an actual knob. Many (most) do not these days.
Super-happy with this one.
Jul 08, 2019 10:25The DDX376BT is a great buy. So far I'm pleased with the performance of the hu. Would say the quality of my purchase is an investment.
Dec 07, 2020 10:53It’s great I enjoyed this items... My friends who slso ride on me.. they enjoy my kenwood
Jan 12, 2021 13:41So far so good’. It was purchased for a teenager and she loves it.
Mar 13, 2020 15:23Best Buy installed quickly and professionally. The volume knob is a little small so I purchased a remote for 20 bucks. Overall pleased with purchase and installation!
Sep 06, 2020 00:51I bought this head unit because it was a lot of features you were getting for an awesome price. Sound quality and EQ are the best part about this head unit. It connects very fast via Bluetooth and the video quality on the h/u are great quality. The things that aren't the best are the phone call quality and connection. When a phone call comes in or is sent out it will connect the call 90% of the time, 10% of the time it will not connect and I will have to re-dial or answer on my phone itself. After the call ends if I am listening to music through Bluetooth the music takes 2-4min to re-connect and even then I sometimes have to press play on my phone before it starts to play again. Another con is the volume dial is very small and depending on how the dash kit sits it is a pain to get to, I had to purchase a remote on amazon to make it easier.
Also...if you add a backup camera to this unit be prepared to have a 1-2 second pause (blank screen) while it notifies you to "look at your surroundings before backing up", this only happens if your h/u had just started with the vehicle. This message and pause do not come up if your h/u has been on for more than 5min.
It is a nice h/u but it is frustrating when you need to make a call and it wont connect and your music wont re-connect after you have completed a call. Some are okay with these issues but it sucks when you are driving and can't really mess with anything. Hope things work out better for you!

Sep 04, 2021 10:49Love it. Put it together and it is a very good size. Will hold quite a lot of albums. Like the color and it is easy to transport if you have to move it. Glad I bought it,
Dec 25, 2020 19:59Good but a bit pricey for what it is. Still satisfied overall

Jul 03, 2020 16:25Such a great vintage look to store records. Perfect for us!

The antibacterial formula prevents the buildup of germs, while the antistatic microfiber cloth has a soft and gentle surface to help avoid damage.

I ran out of vinyl disk cleaner a while ago. Glad to see they still make the fluid and the "brush". Both work well.
Aug 27, 2021 16:09Cleaning set easy to use and practical will order again
Nov 15, 2020 12:27Its an ok cleaning set. Less expensive than some others. Only trouble is getting the cloth back into the container.
Jun 04, 2021 16:54Play CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs on this Memorex portable CD player. The 60-second anti-skip protection ensures interruption-free audio, while programmable tracks let you easily recall your favorite tunes. This Memorex portable CD player features an LCD for simple frequency navigation, and the included stereo earbuds offer crisp and clear sound.
A blast from the past! I haven’t used a portable disc player since junior high (early 00’s), so its been awhile. I am fortunate to have a large collection of music on CD’s – thanks Dad, so I figured I’d give this player a spin. The setup comes with the disc player, earbuds with support fins, batteries, and the manual.
I’ll be honest, the player itself is not asthetically pleasing. It looks and feels on the cheap side, which it is. Not really a knock against it, but don’t expect a svelte looking/feeling piece of equipment. This is priced on the budget side, and the looks are in line with that. The budget build affects the buttons on the device – they are not soft/easy actuating buttons. It takes a concerted effort to push them, and they make a loud click upon actuation. There are pros/cons to this. The pros are you know the button has been pushed, and you won’t accidentally click buttons when you don’t mean to. The downside is single hand operation is tough with rigid buttons – you can do it, but its just a bit harder than it needs to be. All the buttons are on top, so you don't have to go searching for anything. The headphone/outlet jack are located along the side (AC outlet pack not included). I think it just uses a stand 5V AC wall wart, but I’m fine with just batteries anyways.
As far as features goes, it has just about everything you would expect. It has no issues playing burned discs. I didn’t have any .mp3 discs to try out , so I can’t comment on that. It has the anti-skip button – a needed feature for anyone reliving the old portable CD player days. I was able to hold the player upside-down and/or sideways without it skipping. I tossed it onto the couch and dropped it on the floor from a foot or so up while listening and it didn't skip. So that works well. The player has all the normal options of repeat song, repeat all, shuffle. It all has a song preview mode where you get the first 10 seconds of the song before jumping to the next. Then there’s the program feature that lets you select which songs to skip on the disc – kind of nice if there’s that one song you absolutely hate on the disc. The selection isn’t saved after a power cycle, so you have to reset it each time you turn the player on.
The sound is nothing special. A lot of it comes down to the quality of the earbuds/headphones you use. It sounded really good with my more expensive headphones, and pretty flat with cheapo earbuds. It has 3 equalizer options (rock, pop, surround). Rock makes the bass prominent, pop makes the vocals prominent, surround didn’t seem to do much until I used my larger over-ear headphones. It simulates a broader soundstage. For me the either the Rock or Pop setting were used depending on the genre I was playing.
The player comes with packaged earbuds. I was excited to try them out because I prefer earbuds that either have the support fins (like these) or ear hooks. Compared to some $2 cheapo earbuds I had, these sounded quite a bit better. You could discern the difference in sound in the Surround ESP with these buds, whereas the other buds didn’t bring that out. Unfortunately the earbuds fell apart after the 3rd use. Pretty disappointed there since I thought they were comfortable and didn’t sound too bad. So my advice, don’t rely on these earbuds because they seem to be prone to failure (actually my second pair in this case to fail).
Overall, this is a good player that brings back some memories. My SO and her kids are in love with this player, so its kind of cool to see the next generation enjoying something that was revolutionary in my childhood. Be prepared to swap out for different earbuds – I had several pairs laying around so this wasn’t an issue for me.
Apr 29, 2020 01:50Throwback? Maybe NOT! This portable CD player provides a versatile way to listen to some of your most favorite CDs. It comes with a super-basic set of ear plugs. But, it is NOT limited when it comes to more enhanced listening pleasure. I have used a more expensive set of over-the-ear, noise-canceling headphones and am overjoyed at the reproduced quality of music by this player.
My newer vehicle does NOT have a CD player. My guess is that the Techie-Gurus have determined CDs are NO longer a viable, mainstream participant in this Digital, Streaming World of Music. Things change. Or, do they just evolve into more popular venues? I am a Vinyl-Fan and have an extensive collection of over 800 records. My wife has an accumulation of over 500 CDs and she loves listening to them daily on our high-end amp-receiver. But now, this Memorex Portable CD Player allows her to enjoy her CDs anywhere she ventures around our home. WooHoo!
The updated LCD screen allows her to maneuver the various options featured by this Memorex CD Player. An intuitive and simple display shows all the various options provided. Even without the high resolution codecs this CD player does a terrific job when paired with a high-end-over-the-ear headphone. I am impressed by the quality of sound reproduction. I highly recommend the use of more quality listening ear headphones.
We have used this Memorex Portable CD Player in various positions. In my pocket in the upright position and at various levels of horizontal. It is sensitive to bumps and jogs, so we use it in the most passive positions possible. The sixty second anti-skip protection ensures interruption-free audio. For its Price-Point, this is a terrific bargain.
I highly recommend the purchase of this Memorex Portable CD Player. It does an outstanding job of delivering crisp CD quality music. . . .
Apr 27, 2020 21:26The product worked, but they gave me a used/previously opened product - I paid for new. Not everything was included in the box. I am usually happy with everything I buy from Best Buy, but this was disappointing.
Jul 09, 2021 17:47Excellent price and sound is nice and clear. Perfect for my walks
Nov 10, 2020 18:08Decent quality for a very reasonable price. Sounds pretty good for the price
Sep 28, 2021 21:04Not the most ergonomic CD player but I enjoy the anti-skip because I do remember walking funny from class to class with a CD player in my pocket (huge) just so it wont skip my favorite parts. You've got to really appreciate the small things. Also, there's something about the sound a CD has that's different than a digital file. All in all I would recommend simply because it was built right. I like that it has the ability to play MP3's as well. It's a very simple piece of tech and it has very basic functions. This is the perfect vehicle for a trip down memory lane.
May 01, 2020 15:52The Memorex products aren't exactly known for being examples of cutting edge product design, and I'm not even 100% sure that the Memorex company is producing these products, or if its just a licensee of the brand creating cheap electronics, but that being said, if you're still looking for a way to take your favorite newfangled "Compact Discs" on the road with you.
The playback capabilities were solid, and the audio jack was fine when used with higher-end headphones, like my Beats Studio 2's and their AUX cable...
There's a very specific reason I mention that -The included headphones are awful and even crackle when plugged into the port - To the point that I thought the audio port itself was defective upon use. Turns out the included headphones just aren't worth it. Rubbish!
The unit functions well enough - The anti-skip works well as long as you don't knock the device around too much, and the controls are a bit mushy but this isn't a high-priced product. This isn't a Sony Discman competitor, but Sony stopped making those a few decades ago.
If you have a need for a new portable CD player in 2020, this is your only option, so I'd recommend. With your own headphones its a passable and functional replacement for the players of yore.
May 10, 2020 22:40It's definitely high quality. It plays great and with the choice of earbud size I found one that fits and it sounds great. But the controls are hard to get at once I put the player in my pocket, With my old one I could turn the volume up or down with a touch & with this ,I have to take it out
Oct 15, 2021 15:49Play your classic music collection with this silver Crosley cassette player. The built-in Bluetooth receiver supports seamless digital audio streaming, while the AM/FM tuner lets you catch news, sports and emergency broadcasts. This Crosley cassette player features a microphone so you can add a personal touch to your mixtapes and recordings.
I had a radio/cassette player for many years. The cassette player stopped working. I went on line to Best Bey to see what I could find. I was shocked to find one so similar to what had. I very quickly ordered it. When I received it I was very shocked to find it also has a USB port. I love, love this. I get a radio, cassette, and a USB port.
Thank you, thank you.

Aug 21, 2021 20:40I live way out in the country and have a hard time picking up radio stations, I needed the metal antenna, the wire antennas don't work out here, and my cats tore the wire up. :)
My 24 year old daughter asked were I got something from the 80s!
Feb 20, 2021 08:06it was very nice to be able to purchse the radio with a cassette player which i had been looking for a while
Sep 03, 2021 22:34Works ok, very cheaply built. High price for what you are getting. I bought a small old used player at goodwill for $6.00 and it works better and better quality than this.
It serves the purchase for what I needed but don't expect good sound quality.
Mar 05, 2021 17:52We order this player on line and I picked it up at our local store. It is a great value and we are enjoying it.
Dec 11, 2020 16:28This looked like a great product. It arrived quickly. I tried the radio and it worked great. Then I tried to play a cassette. This did not go well. The cassette started to play and then made a funny noise. When I checked it turned out that the spool to the left that should be taking up the tape was doing nothing and it was eating up my cassette. I tried two other cassettes with the same results.
Dec 09, 2020 06:33I was looking for something that I could use when the lights are not working for entertainment
Sep 18, 2020 22:58Works greats and I get a lot of compliments about it.

Fit perfectly in my 01 Honda Prelude! Love the facts that I can customize the face with a photo of my choosing, has a built in USB port so I can use my phone for Spotify and charge at the same time (Apple user problems lol), and just over all looks high end. The guy that does the installations at the Stroudsburg location is awesome! Looking to buy this again for my 01 Integra!
The only thing I wish was that it came with a remote for my backseat people!
Oct 09, 2021 16:53Nice for what it is, still haven't figured out android auto and bluetooth sometimes wants to do call only for android. It's really nice for Apple users though.
Oct 08, 2021 15:53First off let me say it's better than what I had before. I still had the basic knob radio that came with my Charger in 2010. But... Its still pretty basic.. can't watch videos unless it's a DVD and DVDs are pretty much obsolete in my home. Soo it just plays music. Also should've read that the XM tuner doesn't come with it so I have to go back and pay another $100 to buy the tuner and have geek squad install :(
Feb 19, 2021 21:04I'm reviewing my purchase experience for this product. the associate at the front counter was amazing providing me locations where I can have it installed and was more than helpful. after I am done having it installed which is going to be on September 25th that was the first available appointment,. I will follow up a review regarding its look, sound, and the bells and whistles of how it looks and operates in the car after installation by The geek squad.
Aug 30, 2020 10:51Works great. A replacement for a factory radio on my 2000 Ford Ranger. Could not be more happy with the installation at Best Buy and my new device!
Oct 15, 2021 21:20This was a replacement for a previously purchased item that was defective. It appears this unit is actually working as expected.
May 07, 2021 16:43Excellent sound quality and it plays DvDs great for lunch break
Aug 07, 2020 17:06Loved the stereo fits great and very easy to navigate
Nov 02, 2021 20:28Convert audio files to your favorite format with Roxio Easy CD & DVD Burning 2. The built-in Gracenote technology lets you add artist metadata and album artwork to your audio files. Roxio Easy CD & DVD Burning 2 has a Roxio MyDVD feature, which lets you turn your videos into professional-looking discs.
this is one of the worst software products i have ever used. not easy at all to use. Not intuitive, DO not buy it. had it for 3 hrs and no refunds on software. What a joke. TRY and find a Youtube video for help. GOOD LUCK!! needs a total redesign.
Dec 21, 2019 17:01I know I can go online and download free programs that will do something similar. However, the price you pay for doing it is not always worth it with ads and other obligations you accept in the process. I used Roxio before, and was happy to go back to it. I was impressed with the sale price. I will be using it to download music and some other items used in my work. I was a WordPefect user for years, and have used Corel products over the years and have been pleased.
May 13, 2021 09:22I'm learning how to burn DVDs and CDs. Wish I had more time to do it but the few times I have it's gone off really good. Being over 65, new technology is sometimes hard to implement. Thank God for the Geek Squad all the help they give me! Thanks again for helping me to select the right program!
Sep 23, 2020 09:59Good Product. Does what it states. Not too difficult to use. Good results
Nov 18, 2021 20:49It wasn't what I was looking for. I did had help but young person wasn't well informed.
Oct 09, 2021 12:24There are very few recording software packages available which will allow you to record CD's almost as good as the CD's themselves. Stay away from anything Apple, as it compresses the music and is pure junk. FLAC recordings are the way to go. They take up a bit more memory space, but now memory chips & hard drive space is readily available and relatively low-cost. This software - version 1 & the replacement version 2 both do an awesome job!
Sep 27, 2020 12:03This product does an excellent job at helping me organize and retrieve my playlist to burn in an efficient manor and time.
Jul 26, 2021 13:03It easy-to-use. Burn cds and DVD.
Ir reminds me as z old roxio Easy created in 2002
