VictrolaThe Empire Mid-Century 6-in-1 Turntable & Multimedia Center with Built-in Speakers – 3 Speed, Bluetooth Connectivity, Radio, Cassette & CD Player, RCA Out, Headphone Jack (Espresso)

I absolutely love this record player. We use this on a regular basis to play records and Bluetooth if we're cleaning the house and hanging out. The sound is great, it travels well throughout the home and blends in perfect to our home decor. It's durable, easy to use, and would make a great gift! Highly recommended!

The media could not be loaded. Before I delve into my thoughts about this product, it's important for potential buyers to recognize exactly what they're investing in. Based on some of the mixed feedback, it seems there may be a bit of confusion regarding the sound quality expectations. Many seem to have prioritized affordability over specific audio needs.Here's the lowdown: this is a plug-and-play record player equipped with a turntable, in the most general sense. It's not a high-fidelity turntable designed for audiophiles or vinyl collectors seeking the precise acoustic fidelity offered by brands like Sonos.If you're deeply invested in the vinyl culture and sound quality, you probably wouldn't be browsing Amazon for a turntable. Your tastes would draw you toward specialized brands such as HOUSE OF MARLEY, WRENSILVA, BDI, ANDOVER, or high-end VICTORLA.Having cleared that up, let me tell you why I adore this record player. Since I was young, I've cherished owning a simple, portable record player—the kind that joyfully spun records like 'The Wiz' and 'Grease.' To me, the Empire model is a delightful step up from my previous Victrola Journey player. The design captivates me with its nostalgic charm and elegant aesthetic.For context, I didn't buy this for its ability to compete with an amplifier or subwoofer. Rather, I was drawn to its dual purpose: firstly, as a practical, no-fuss record player, and secondly, for its timeless, vintage allure.In my view, this player hits all the right notes for creating ambiance. It's an all-inclusive music center that doesn't just play tunes—it also becomes a focal point that sparks conversations during get-togethers. So far, I haven't experienced any issues with skipping or sound quality, though I don't intend it for daily heavy use. This record player shines during special occasions, adding a layer of auditory charm.To potential buyers who are casual music enthusiasts looking for an item that merges function with style, this might be the perfect addition to your home. It's designed to provide a backdrop of music for your life's moments—not to dissect the nuances of sound but to envelop you in warmth and nostalgia.

so beautiful and functional. speakers are really good

I have a much more expensive system for records and CDs, but I needed something for a small room I work in so I can enjoy some music.It looks cool, it has a decent enough volum for background music, CD, radio, cassette all work great. Nothing to brag about but overall it does what it needs to at a low price.The record player is not that great; especially if you’re listening To bass heavy music like EDM. While I don’t listen to a lot of EDM I do get a lot of skipping on certain tracks Digitalisms Idealism. My other turntable doesn’t have this issue at all. I’ve checked the little queue lift and it’s not that issue. My other records don’t have this issue.The record player is likely adequate for most situations, just be aware some music with heavy bass like EDM seems to cause tracking issues. All said and done it fits what I needed. A cheap easy system for light listening in a small office.

Beautiful and extremely pleased. Sounds great perfect size easy to use.

Don't be fooled by how neat it looks. I've used it a handful of times over the years. I got it shortly after moving and didn't get a chance to really use it until the return window closed. I would've returned it asap had I not been busy. Do not buy this. Brand new records will skip. You'll think you're crazy but you're not, it's the record player. The cd player has NEVER worked. Not once. It says 'No' when I put any CD in. And I'm not throwing them around, I carefully place it in the cd tray and use the button to close it. Then nothing happens. Ever. Unplugged it and let it sit for a few minutes before plugging it back in and that did nothing. The radio works but the audio isn't great. If this played records without skipping and actually played CDs then it would be a fine budget item. But no, it's a waste of money and I wish I had returned it sooner. Just don't buy it.

I am absolutely in love with my new Victrola record player! The vintage design adds a charming touch to my living room, and the sound quality is impressive for such an affordable price. It’s incredibly easy to set up and use, making it perfect for both seasoned vinyl collectors and beginners. The addition of Bluetooth capability is a great bonus, allowing me to play music wirelessly when I don’t feel like using records. The build quality feels sturdy, and the turntable runs smoothly. Overall, it’s a fantastic product that brings a nostalgic vibe to my home—highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates great music and retro style!
