Bluetooth Record Player

I love it and I love it because it brings back memories. Now, about the player itself. Obviously, for the price, the speakers/sound is going to be terrible, there is no doubt about that. However, there is always a way around that. Get yourself an AUX cable and plug that part into the headphone jack, take the other end of the AUX cable and plug it into your Bose stereo! Fixed your problem :) I haven't used the cassette player yet, I really want to, I'm just too lazy to go out and search for any in the storage right now. I'm sure it will play great tho. Stereo works fine. Haven't tried the record thingy yet. Have read other reviews that it's quite tricky to actually do, but I'm sure I'll manage. It did take longer to get here then it said it would, but I blame that on the postal system and UPS. It is almost Christmas right now so, the mail is probably REALLY backed up. If you want a cheap record player, just to play and hear some good oldies, or even new stuff and have a nice sound bar to hook it up to, then totally grab this.

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by this product! We purchased this to put in our son's room, as we wanted to share the records and cassette tapes we used to listen to as kids with him. My expectation was that the sound quality would be mediocre at best. However, it sounds great! There is a very noticeable lack of base tones, but for us, this is not an issue as the player will mostly voice kid material. Records and cassettes play great; no scratching or catching. The only thing that we found a little frustrating is every once in a while, you'll hear a slight hum. This is because the speaker is so close to all the other electronic mechanisms in the product that feedback is inevitable. It really is impressive how much they've included in such a reasonably-sized item. We are very please with this purchase, and have considered buying another as a gift for a family member. Highly recommended!

Does everything it's supposed to do. Speakers and written instructions could be a little better. However, you can hook up other speakers via headphone jack and controls on front panel are labeled. A bit of experimentation was all it took to record to usb. Note, however, that the bluetooth function is for input, not output. You can play music from your phone through the speakers on this unit, for example. You must use wired headphones to listen. Good value for the money. The cassette tape option is nice for those of us with old music collections.

First of all, the LCD display on the front of the unit is not visible when viewed head-on. You have to view it at about a 60 degree angle from above to see anything on it. At first I thought it was broken until I happened to stand up and caught sight of the display writing. Others have reported this problem also. But the worst problem is it is entirely flaky about recording MP3s to USB. Often pressing REC does nothing. Sometimes it appears to start recording, and then the display will read DECFULL. Other times you will think you have successfully finished recording a record side, put the thumb drive in your computer, and you find jibberish file names. When you try to delete the files, Windows complains that they are "too long". I had to format the thumb drive to get rid of the corrupt data. And note - it would corrupt previously good files that had been recorded also. So I had 2 good side recordings, and then on the 3rd recording it blasted all the recordings in the storage directory on the USB stick. So if you DO get a good recording, copy it to your hard drive right away before making more! I think it took me about 11 tries to record 4 record sides. Sound quality is about the same as a basic clock radio. It has two small speakers. I was not looking at this as a means to play records to listen to, but to digitize them. The speakers are just a convenience to listen as you are recording so you know when to start/stop recording. If you are looking for a way to play to listen, this device is not for you. There is a headphone jack that may provide a better experience; I did not try it. I really wanted this device to work. The workflow is simple - plug in USB stick and press REC and STOP at the beginning and end of the record. But unfortunately the device is too unreliable. You spend 20 minutes spinning a record thinking you are recording it only to find it was corrupted or you get a DECFULL error. I'll be returning it.
