I love this record player. I just started collecting vinyl and this was definitely the record player I needed. Definitely something I would recommend to anyone that also wants to start a vinyl collection.

This record player is amazing, one of the best purchases I have ever made
KashAddictKitty –
Crisp sound. Modern look. Fake warranty. I love it!!!
BeverlyF –
Very pleased with the sound quality, turntable easy to put together
MeganS –
I bought this turntable on an open box sale after being dissatisfied with a crosley voyager around the same price point. Its exactly what I needed to get into vinyl collecting without breaking the bank. The sound quality is great and the instructions were easy to understand. Also, being an open box sale, everything was there, wrapped in its original plastic. I’m very happy with this turntable.
UlisesM –
an amazing affordable turntable that’s easy to set up!
MatthewD –
Clear instructions with easy setup. I haven’t used the Bluetooth, but the sound through the line out has been good. I have a slight crackle noticeable during quiet moments that I can’t seem to get rid of through weight adjustments, enabling anti skate, or cleaning. Still would recommend as I feel this is something I can figure out with time.
Aldestro –
Online recommendations pointed me to this turntable and I don’t regret it. I wanted something basic that wouldn’t “speed run wearing out your vinyl” but not to expensive. This turntable hits the key points I found:
Replaceable cartridge
Full platter
Counter weight
For any other novice’s out there this my not be true but I read playing your vinyl no more then twice per day is great for their longevity. It allows time for the viny to “bounce back to shape”.
MaribelE –
Awesome, great sound and make woth sturdy materials. And a great price, love it
RobertC –
Great turntable. Bought this because my wife and I wanted to get back into vjnyl. This is a solid turntable for the price point. Sounds great.
LorieM –
Crystal clear sound -links with ease to a speaker!! Great price
Goofus –
I HATE to give this only 2 stars, but almost immediately one of the hinges on the dust cover snapped in half. Two weeks later I can’t find a replacement hinge, Best Buy wants to replace the entire turntable (which is a total WASTE), and this is why selling disposable garbage drives up prices and fills up trash cans. It’s a really, REALLY, good mid-range turntable, especially for the price, but if I have to cover it up with a bath towel because they can’t send me a 20-cent HINGE for the dust cover………. that’s why it loses 3 stars. It’s a BEST BUY (INSIGNIA)-branded item. I’d expect to easily get a part for it (from BEST BUY). Silly me.

Beautiful! Great piece for display and paying music

The Insignia Bluetooth turntable is fantastic. It is just the right size, the right price and plays my vinyl collection beautifully. I have no complaints.
sekister –
This record player was extraordinary. Never had one like it. Suggest.
Nick –
Bare minimum vinyl player at a decent price point.
IsaacL –
I did serious research on record players and this one was by far one of the highly rated ones. Not only does it have Bluetooth capabilities, it connects to any a wide range of Bluetooth speakers. I would recommend as a really good starter record player.
CarlinH –
A great turntable for the price if you’re looking for one in this price range definitely get it it’s even upgradable
Stephen –
Great deal for the price. Decent AT cartridge and stylus. If the motor holds out, this is the new entry level leader.
Alice –
It is very easy to connect with my receiver or blue tooth speaker and the sound is great.
SachaN –
My husband loves his new turntable. He needs an upgrade from what he had but I wanted to surprise him. He said it was easy to set up and easy to use. The Smiths & Style Council are constantly in the rotation the past few weeks!

Service was quick on line, delivered much sooner than expected..Its a gift so i cant make any reviews on the turntable
GFull –
Awesome player! I’ve been looking for a player for a long time. Much better than the crap ones off of Amazon.
AlexH –
Functions well, easy to use. Probably the best entry level turntable.
AnthonyA –
The girlfriend loves it it is exactly what she wanted
RobertS –
Love the idea of this bluetooth turntable to play vinyl records. Bought it for my wife so she can play the records from her childhood. The Insignia bluetooth turntable looks great and is very straight forward to “assemble” and use. I bought it from Best Buy and it was nicely priced. Unfortunately i rated it a 2 because the bluetooth connectivity that should also be straightforward….is not straightforward! It connected to our various speakers 1 time and hasnt connected since. We played music the first couple of weeks and for the last 10 months nothing. I need to switch it out just to see if its this unit or if its a universal issue

I have had several turntables over the years and bought these for my daughters so they can start out with some.
Pros :
Inexpensive
Bluetooth
Decent Stylus
Good Sound
Counterweight / Anti-skate features (literally a necessity on any turnatable)
Cons:
Can’t remove the cartridge (so can’t install a higher end one) BUT the stylus is replaceable with better Audio Technica ones
Has a cheap feel – frame and everything is plastic basically hence the price (not a deterrent to its performance though)
Only used bluetooth connection so far but do notice a hum thru the speakers – its present when there is no music playing. It’s not overpowering like if you forget to connect a ground wire on a turntable that has one but it is there. Might be less thru the RCA jacks.
When lowering the tonearm on a record, stylus shoots forward a lot but only at the beginning of an album. I know how to balance the tonearm and adjust antiskate but no adjustments seemed to fix it. If you lower the tone arm anywhere but the beginning, it does not skip. So if you start from the beginning, I suggest using your hand to put the needle on the record
Not a fan of the platter not spinning until the tonearm is over the record. I like the platter spinning all the time but since it’s a belt turntable, probably best to cut down on belt wear
All in all and great inexpensive turntable when on sale for $60
BMom –
Gave it to my son for Christmas. He said set up was easy and he likes the sound. Overall seems to be a great value.
user197167 –
Great product! My husband was impressed with how easy and user friendly it is. Sounds great.
KN12 –
Sound quality is good and it is very aesthetic. A good buy for the price. The set up was somewhat complicated.
Mrod –
One of the best value turntables on the market. Great turntable, have used it daily for a year. Love it!

No signal coming from phono or line out. Returned it. Man at the counter argued I hooked it up wrong. One red, one white, one switch, one power cord. Not rocket science!
KevonJ –
It’s a great product for the price. I would recommend.
ZoeR –
My husband and I love this record player! We can connect via Bluetooth and just jam out. It’s great.
RossB –
It is a reliable and affordable option. Very simple to setup and seems to just work.
user210385 –
This is a very good beginner friendly record player! It’s very easy to use and includes Bluetooth. This is definitely a great option!
ChristinaP –
Good for the price. Enjoy the adjustability of the arm. Would recommend as an entry level turntable.
Unknown –
I love this to test when I have my sample of my vinyls when I receive them
Tc304 –
Love this record player. The sound quality from the Bluetooth is excellent and gives the feel of an old school record player.
JoshC –
Never would I think there should be a buyer beware risk at Best Buy. This review is more about the low level of service I received from Best Buy rather than the product. The turntable arrived with a broken stylus so it doesn’t operate properly. (This was an open-box – excellent condition purchase, which is advertised as works as new) Everything else works perfectly fine from what I can tell. Since Best Buy sells an identical replacement part for $24, I thought it would be an easy issue to rectify, but I was clearly mistaken. Best Buy refuses to take care of the problem which would cost less than $24 and wants to replace the entire product which is currently unavailable and no firm date of a restock. From a Customer service standpoint the problem is an easy $24 fix which I would think is a smaller loss than returning the entire product which they would have to fix anyway with the same part plus the labor of the employees to process everything. I guess we all lose in this situation but you would think you wouldn’t want to lose another customer to Amazon over a matter of $24.

Bought as a Christmas gift , it is the best player I have seen for the price, I also purchased the blue tooth speakers to go with it the sound is amazing.
Delfina0309 –
Lack of automatic play feature makes it a little bit more difficult to use. But otherwise this record player represents good value for price. Components also feel very sturdy and well-made
MikeW –
I purchased this as a gift. As a vintage audio equipment nerd, I have to admit I was skeptical, but it was Christmas and everything else around this price point had already sold out. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! It’s very manual and WILL require setup before use (unlike popular offerings from brands like Audio Technica in the price range), but the tradeoff is a turntable that is much more flexible and adjustable should you ever decide to upgrade components.
DLG2 –
The record player was for my granddaughter and was exactly what she wanted. She is pleased which pleased me.
KristenM –
This turntable is great for beginners. It was easy to set up and it sounds great
LeonardC –
This is my first record player and it is flawless. Thank you Best Buy! Ive played 100 records on it and it’s perfect. Wow. What a treat. Thank you INSIGNIA! I would recommend this turntable to anyone. One more thing. I also bought the Sony XP500 bluetooth speaker at Best Buy and it does connect via bluetooth and it’s great listening through it. Both good and wow.

I love the sound, wish i could adjust the speed more but that is my only complaint
