#1 Is this a good record player for beginners or people who only want a few records to play for the aesthetic? Absolutely. The sound quality is meh, but I mean what do you expect for $40. It plays the records no problems, and the bluetooth is great for just whenever.
Now here is how you can upgrade your setup with minimal spending. Get an RCA to mini jack cable. Plug that into a speaker you already have or if in my case you have a practice amp cause you play an instrument, get a mini jack to 1/4 converter and plug it into the amp! It works great!
#2 Will this ruin my records?
No. It will not. I made a little scale and using pennies weighed out the tracking force to be around 5g. Now compared to $200 record players that track at 3g this seems like a lot. But be aware, when records were made, they were made to withstand up to 7 or 8g of tracking force cause lots of old players tracked at around 5 or 6g. Now tracking heavier like this will yes, wear them out faster, but it will NOT ruin them! The needle is also a diamond, so the needle is pretty decent actually.
Now you can actually fix the tracking force on this thing. Get a small scale, like the kind to bake with, put your tone arm on it, get some pennies and nickels and start stacking them at the back of the tone are where the counterweight should be. One your tone arm reads at about 3.5-4g. Take those coins, tape them together, and tape them to the back of that tone arm. Maybe even go for around 4-4.5g because in my experience these cheap ones skip very easily.
#3 Is it portable?
Absolutely not. You need to plug it into an outlet, and it could totally break with some throwing around. Also the lid is completely useless.
I took the lid off by unscrewing the screws on the back hinges. The lid is NOT big enough even when open to run 12" vinyls. The edge is right under your record, like millimeters under, and if you have ANY warping, at all it will hit the edge and cause it to skip. This is likely the problem a lot of people have when it skips and just don't know it. Just take the lid off its useless.
#4 Does it skip? Does it sound weird?
No, not at all. I had it skip on me once, and after replaying that section it never did it again. Probably was just my fault since i accidentally tapped the vinyl I was playing when getting it out of the sleeve. Also I tested the wow and flutter using a phone app. Let me tell you that it is BAD, like the wow and flutter is REALLY HIGH. But, even so, I didnt notice ANY sort of distortion in the sound. It might be worse when playing above 33rpm but at least for 33, its fine.
#5 Is it worth the price?
100% as long as you know what your getting. I didn't expect this player to be good or even great. Its okay at best and I'm fine with that cause its $40. If you are looking for a very nice player that delivers great sound quality, dont get this. If you want to really get into vinyl, dont get this. If you want to experience the most you can from your records, dont get this. If you want to just play a couple of records for cheap and have them in your room cause its cool and aesthetic, go ahead, im doin it for that exact reason.
(Also, I purchased an amazon return and found no problems with it. Dont be afraid to purchase a used one for less, you can always return it if it is actually broken, but it will probably work anyway)
The packaging was great, so no damage to the contents when it arrived. It took me a while to unbox it, but it was a great experience, overall. Unfortunately, the spinning portion where the records are placed is not CLOSE to being level, which means that my records are on an emotional up-and-down journey when they circle back around. The worst part is that certain songs on the records skip. ALL OF THEM! ... well, I only have two! LOL! XD But they're brand new records... one I sent back and purchased another... still skips. I'm not interested in purchasing a higher quality needle, but I did purchase a weight to see if it'll help. I'll try it out at another time. One should've been included, in my opinion.
The cost is really smart for a beginner. I love the suitcase-style design, man. Super modern. I've not tried the Bluetooth function yet; I just sit and let the records play when I'm in the mood. The sound quality isn't the greatest, but hey, the speakers are super tiny and not built for that. I'm sure I could hook it up to my mixer and get a much better sound quality, if only the records (brand-new records, if I didn't mention it before) didn't skip... sigh =(
Nostalgic satisfaction met vs poor build quality... 3 out of 5 stars. I've learned a lot more than I thought I would with this record player. Man, they've got so many different color options and things... I guess it's a good product, or even a gift, for someone that doesn't own a lot of records or know what they're doing. You speak to a true enthusiast about this product, they'd walk away from you unless you put in more effort into getting a much better one (which I'm sure is available).
I hope this helps you in making your purchase. I believe that a customer always deserves to be satisfied, and in this case, I'm just alright. It's tough out here for a lot of people, man. That said, subpar products are unacceptable. The seller has no idea how their patrons have come to earn the funds they're now using to support their company, but hey, wishful thinking. I still plan on whipping it out and listening to my records... skips and all. Take care and enjoy! (=
