Journey Bluetooth Portable Suitcase Record Player – with Built-in Speakers, 3 Speed Vinyl Record Player, RCA Out, Headphone Jack (Black)

The portable record player arrived packaged well. The record player plays the record well. The record player does not skip. The sound was great and has bluetooth connectivity. This record player is beautiful and the lavender color looks as advertised. My daughter likes how the portable record player can be closed-keeps it protected. It fits well on the large record player stand purchased for it through Amazon. Great price. Update:03/31/2026, I was able to add one video.

Ok, this is actually a pretty decent little unit for the money. I was seriously contemplating returning it because it sounded like it was skipping A LOT and/or the audio was cutting out (especially on quiet passages). I read through the reviews and saw that many people were complaining about the same thing, and when they contacted the company they were told that they should tape a light weight on top of the needle arm, like a penny (this was a common trick back when I was younger - 60's-70's when you didn't have an adjustment to increase the needle pressure). Many people said that it didn't work though. I have a professional audio background, and I felt like what I was hearing was maybe a cheap electronic circuit that was made to keep the small internal speakers from being overloaded and blowing them out - some kind of a dynamics controller like a compressor/limiter/gate device. So today I hooked up the external outputs on the back of the turntable enclosure to our entertainment system and it's speakers, and just turned down the volume knob on the turntable itself. WOW!! It works great now!!! I played about 6 or 7 albums - No skipping or volume dipping (except on the beginning of one of my old mid 70's records that was a little warped and I could actually see some gunk on it) and it sounds quite good (especially for what it is). So that's the deal - some sort of wonky electronics between the turntable and it's internal speakers. Not really very listenable without some external speaker system, but pretty decent otherwise. First time in decades that I've heard some of these albums on a turntable. I'll be keeping it.

So... I WILL say that the buckle part that's supposed to keep it closed was broken when I opened it, but since I don't plan on taking it all over the place, I'm not as worried about it, just a bit disappointed. The record player plays vinyls so nicely, and the needle assist that lowers it down slowly for you is really awesome. No setup required really, you just plug it in, super easy. Volume is good & records play clear. The size is perfect if you love listening to vinyls but don't have a lot of surface space. And I love being able to connect my Bluetooth to it so I can play my own music from time to time.

I purchased this product for my daughter whom had lost most of her possessions in a move. We wanted to replace her record player but didn't want to spend a ton of money. The reviews were ok so we decided to drop the 50 dollars for this player. The color is super vibrant. The player itself is a pretty good. It has blue tooth capability. Which is pretty great. The sound through the speakers is fine for what it is. It is not the best player but for the money it works well. We can hear it fairly well in the bedroom. The packaging was TERRIBLE. They just shipped in the original box, I would of liked to have seen it packaged a bit better with some wrap around it inside another box. I didn't expect it to work to be honest. The box looked beat up a bit. But in the end it works and over all happy with the product. I give this a 4 Star. * 1 star (Nope, DO NOT LIKE IT AT ALL!): I would either return or throw away this product. It was a waste of my money and not functional. I will never order again. ** 2 star (Think twice before buying - don't like it): I'm not a fan of this item and I won't order it again, but it has at least one positive quality. *** 3 star (It’s ok): This item has both positive and negative qualities. It may work for some people, but I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase or recommend it. **** 4 star (I like it): This item arrived and functions as advertised. I would change a few things about this (including pricing), but is a good product overall. I would use this item. ***** 5 star (I love it!): This item is AWESOME. I will use it and recommend it to others! I just LOVE it! It works as advertised and is an all-around great product. All of my reviews are written with the hope of helping other Amazon customers make the right buying decisions for themselves. To help increase awareness of a particular product it might be positive or negative, but in the end it is honest. Thank you for reading my review. I hope it has helped you. I will be happy to answer any questions if that might help you make your decision. Have a great day.

It's a nice record player. Simple and easy to use. My 11-yr old daughter was able to use it right out of the box. It is compact and light. The sound isn't great but you can connect it to headphones or external speakers for better sound quality.

I first saw and used one of these at an Airbnb we stayed at. Wound up buying one for my parents for Christmas to replace an old 70s GE turntable they had that no longer worked as they still had a lot of records that they missed being able to play. I was so impressed with the look, portability, durability and more than anything, the sound. Some of my parent's records were scratched, a few had multiple or deeper scratches and you would never know because they needle went right over them and the sound quality was amazing! They love it, I love it and now I'll be getting one for our house. Haven't used the Bluetooth on theirs, but looking forward to on ours.

I’m an audio engineer. I cater to the audio snobs who would look the other way at a record player like this. And if audio fidelity is what you’re most concerned about, you shouldn’t even bother listening to vinyl. I grew up with vinyl, more than happily abandoned it one better technologies came along, and decided to give this machine a try after staying in a short term rental that had a player and some records. And I think what this really excels that is listening to the older records from the early 60s and prior. By any objective measures the speakers in this are horrible, but they’re absolutely perfect for that kind of music. And as it turns out, it’s a really fun experience. I’ve been so absorbed into the digital world that I have forgotten what it’s like to actually own a physical copy of your music. The steaks are higher. I ended up buying a random assortment of vinyl records from somebody on the used market, and the very fact that you own a physical peace of recording history provides more incentive to listen to the music. Anyway, in terms of the hardware, This won’t win any awards for durability. The stylus and cartridge will probably have to be replaced after about 300 hours. The tone arm is very light and somewhat resident, which results in fluttering with some records. Again, that’s part of the charm. And why you should steer clear this if you care about fidelity. I also don’t think this would do very well being moved around often, and I doubt the exterior would hold up well over a short amount of time with a lot of banging around. On upshot is that the DC power it requires is 5V/1A. The same as most USB devices. So with the appropriate cable, you can power it off of a USB power bank. As a music and music history lover, this has been a surprisingly fulfilling purchase. It works well for what it is, and for the price, you can’t argue with what you get.

Used one time and now the speakers do not work. A friend had a similar problem. I changed my review rating due to the fact that they were very helpful when resolving the problem.
