Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the style and the price but you get what you pay for. Husband had to use a 1970's remedy to get it to play the records without skipping.

This Victrola Journey+ Bluetooth Suitcase Record Player is a delightful blend of vintage aesthetics and modern functionality. The suitcase design gives off some serious retro vibes, making it a standout piece in any room. Beyond its charming appearance, the Bluetooth feature brings it into the 21st century, allowing seamless connectivity to external devices. While the audio might not be audiophile-level, it's decent for the cost.

I am new to the Vinyl hobby and was looking for a record player to play the records I have recently bought. I thought this might be a good start, but I was met with a few issues that might not be worth the price to performance. To start, the audio quality is sub-par. It's as if you had a speaker that was just amplifying a sound from a smartphone without any bass. However, you are able to connect RCA cables to connect to an external speaker which makes the sound a tad bit better. The bluetooth works fine - a bit tricky, but fine. You would just need to make sure the record player light is blinking while your bluetooth speaker is searching and attempting to pair. I'm not sure what it is, but this record player skips certain parts of one song on one of my records. I tested it with another player from the same brand that I ordered online and it had the same issue. However, when trying the record on another player it does not have the skipping issue. Giving it three stars because it does play, but I don't think this is worth it. Ended up returning it for another record player.

Good sound for a portable record player. BT feature expands its uses. Ability to connect via RCA cables to stereo amplifier is excellent and earns this Victrola a place in my listening room.

I quality is nice, easy to use- only criticism is if you want a smoother sound and smooth while louder volume level I’d suggest going for a audio technica. Not bad at all tho! But I will say she’s alright- good price and good for anyone getting into vinyl

This record player is great for someone just starting out with vinyl. The sound quality is quite poor due to the location of speaker. The size and portability is nice feature.

Sound is subpar, but portability and BT is nice to have

You can definitely get better turntables than this, but I wasn’t willing to spend more than this. But for the price this is actually pretty good and can’t complain. Once I build up a bigger vinyl collection i will probably upgrade but if this is your first turntable then this is a good start and good price for one!

Plays well and sounds okay, but it’s been skipping songs a lot. Not sure if that’ll ruin records over time.

For the $50 sale price it’s ok. The records play without skipping unlike what other reviewers have said, even the 180 gram presses seem fine. The problem I have is that built in speakers sound a bit thin, and if you think you can get around this by pairing to a bluetooth speaker, that actually sounds worse. Plug in some good headphones and you get a wider frequency response but the sound is still harsh and weak due to a poor internal amp. My daughter seems to love it so that’s all that matters.

All the forums are full of people warning againt a suitcase player and after ignoring and purchasing it myself i understand why. Yes it will play your records No it won’t damage them. But the speaker quality is sub par. And thats me saying nicely that it is awful. I guarantee any smart home device speaker is clearer and “fuller.” On top of that, even if you get better speakers, the aound this puts out is bad too. But if for the novelty of playing records and it looking good in a room then yes it works.

It looks good sitting on an end table. That’s all it really is for me these days is decor. There’s only so much sound the built in speakers can turn out, and the quality is not that great. Sadly plugging in external speakers does not help much as you cannot bypass the internal ones. Turntable is made of plastic and feels cheap. Good price though. Lie I said, does look great as a vintage piece in the corner of a room.

College aged son wanted to explore old vinyl we had laying around...he finds in thrift shops. Great solution.

Pretty easy to use but I think that the actual record player could’ve been made better

Bought this for my 12 year old who wanted to start collecting vinyl. Sound is tinty, but it works. I’m kicking myself for throwing the box away because i saw this same player on Woot for twenty bucks, so that stings a bit. I got myself a turntable and that sounds a lot better than this.

As expected, the quality is as good as the purchased amount. But, it does look nice.

Works fine but record only sits on maybe 2/3rds of turntable so is a little bouncy.

Overall good product. The Bluetooth feature makes it even better!

They dont make the like they use to. Just bought it while my other player is getting repaired so it did its job.

it’s okay but unfortunately probably not very good for your records. if you have two or three records you’re going to want to play, great. otherwise not worth ruining a large collection of records
