Whether you’re a vinyl lover looking to spin your beloved collection wirelessly to your favorite headphones or external speakers, or you just want the best of both worlds by streaming music through your record player too; there are plenty of choices out there to really help you pump up the volume.
Here are the best record players with Bluetooth available today.
Q: What Is the Point of a Bluetooth Record Player?
A Bluetooth record player can be connected to a stereo, powered speakers, or headphones wirelessly. This means that no cables are necessary to connect the turntable.
Best of all, Musica’s speakers produce two-channel stereo sound, which is the way most music is made; so you can enjoy the same high-quality sound that your chosen artists intended. As an added bonus Musica can even be connected to your television via an optical cable, completely transforming the sound quality of your TV.
Naturally, this level of audio heft comes at a price, and the Como Audio Musica Turntable Bundle is certainly not a cheap option. However, the sheer quality of sound this setup will give your vinyl, CDs, TV, and streaming is difficult to argue with. If you can afford the price tag, this offers a truly immersive audio experience, with bags of style to boot.
Its adjustable counterweight ensures that your vinyl won’t suffer scratches or other damage. Keeping the stylus sitting firmly in the groove means that you can too! The sound output will depend on the quality of your speakers or headphones of course, but this is a robust unit that looks the part and won’t let you down on playback either.
This is an affordable option for anyone looking to listen to their vinyl wirelessly through their favorite headphones or external speaker. It’s engineered to protect your records as much as possible, giving you peace of mind to sit back and get on with enjoying your music.
As well as the usual wireless functionality, this offers fully-automatic operation; meaning no fiddly manual lifting or lowering of the arm. Simplicity itself, not to mention the risk reduction in your vinyl becoming damaged. As with many other Bluetooth turntables, speakers are not included with this player. However, with the abundance of available speakers and headphones out there, this is no great shake.
Many music lovers out there prefer to listen to their records through headphones anyway and for budget buyers, it’s perhaps more important to spend a few extra dollars on a better turntable than an inferior one with sub-standard speakers. The cherry on top is the noise-reducing AC adaptor, which cuts out any additional noise in the signal chain, and delivers a clean and crisp playback.
Though it has a built-in speaker, don’t expect the sound quality from this to be the best. You’ll want to beef things up a bit with external speakers. On this note, this record player supports Bluetooth input but not Bluetooth output. This means you can stream music from your phone through the player, but you can’t connect it to external speakers via Bluetooth.
Depending on what you’re looking for this may or may not be a deal-breaker, although you can’t expect high-end functionality for a mere fraction of the price. However, it looks great and evokes a certain nostalgia. It will sit discreetly in any home and is perfect for anyone wanting to play their vinyl or stream via their phone in the background, without breaking the bank.
It has everything you could reasonably expect from a budget-priced Bluetooth record player, and it can be easily connected to your favorite headphones or external speakers. Again, this record player is sold without speakers, so your listening experience will depend to some extent on the quality of the speakers you are using.
It has adjustable counterweights to protect your vinyl and prevent scratching and offers a decent overall sound quality. It is a fairly bulky unit, but this is in keeping with the retro style of the manufacturer. Robust and solid, this Retrolife record player provides a good balance between style and substance for a reasonable price.
Dependable and built to last, this is definitely worth considering if you have a limited budget but want something that looks the part and that will preserve the integrity of your vinyl collection.
With Bluetooth, it is possible to play music wirelessly at a distance of up to 30 feet.
Q: Does Bluetooth Ruin Sound Quality?
While Bluetooth as commonly implemented does degrade the audio quality to varying degrees, it doesn’t have to. It’s primarily up to the manufacturers to use Bluetooth in a way that diminishes sound quality the least - or preferably, not at all.
Q: Can Bluetooth Record Players Play Vinyls?
Yes. Bluetooth record players can play vinyl. This means you can listen to your favorite records and build up your vinyl collection while being able to enjoy music from your Bluetooth devices.
It also means you can, in most cases, connect Bluetooth speakers to your Bluetooth record player.
