CrosleyCR8005DP-BK1 Cruiser Plus Vintage 3-Speed Bluetooth in/Out Suitcase Vinyl Record Player Turntable, Black

At first I bought the offbrand copy of this, the Byron Statics brand and it was horrible. Then I got this and the difference is night and day. The motor on the Byron Statics version is too weak to pull records at the correct speed and has no variable pitch adjustment dial, it had a bad axle that wobbled causing even worse pitch issues, and lastly it played one track much louder than the other; don't ever buy Byron Statics. But then I bought the Crosley CR8005F-FL because I heard good things about it and it is fantastic. This Crosley has a nice and powerful enough motor that evenly turns the record (even if some of the records are warped like mine), there is a pitch adjustment dial which every player needs, the mechanical and structural quality of the player is very nice especially for this price, and the sound is crisp and clear with no pitch or volume variance. I would definitely recommend Crosley (much higher quality than others I've seen/bought), especially over Byron Statics which was junk.As for issues I've seen others have: Never had any issues with the lid rubbing on the record, although I can see where it would if the lid had a hinge defect and couldn't open the full 90 degrees (mine had no such defects). The bluetooth in/out seems to work great but I think people are buying the bluetooth in model and then saying it doesn't have bluetooth out (the bluetooth in model doesn't do both like the bluetooth in/out model so it wouldn't have bluetooth out anyway).

I just love this record player. It plays well and the color I picked is very cool. You can play 33,45 or 78 records on it. The sound quality is wonderful and I am very pleased.

It’s perfect size to move around. The sound quality is alright it’s not loud but it’s not low to the point where you can’t hear it. It works well, you can connect your phone or headphones to it which I like.

For the price, I didn't have high hopes for this record player. I'm pleasantly surprised at what I got!The record player is attractive, functional, and sounds great. I haven't played with the Bluetooth functions; the built-in speakers are clear and plenty loud enough that I haven't bothered with anything external.Despite its good performance, the construction was clearly conducted on a budget. Seams on the case are glued, and not stitched, and the components have a cheap feel to them, though their appearance is average. Still, everything functions well, and the features packed into the player are impressive.The lever to raise and lower the arm is great, and the needle is lowered soooo gently. The arm has a clasp that locks it in place for safe transport. The player features automatic stop at the end of the record, and the turntable itself is supported on a soft suspension, giving it the vintage version of skip protection. In addition to the Bluetooth functionality, there is a phono jack for headphones, and RCA jacks for connection to an external stereo system. Even if there was some expense spared in its construction, the player was clearly made by people who love and treasure records.My only criticism is that the player is powered by a DC wall adapter ("wall wart"). This is fine, but the adapter has no place for storage within the player, which makes porting it around less convenient. Had they built in a storage solution for this, or simply used and AC cord that would wrap up securely, this would have been an improvement. It's a small gripe, and one does not detract from enjoying the player.

I first received a one of these Crosley players from work as a gift. Out of the box, it didn't work. I returned it to my work and they gave me a gift card to order another one.I ordered one in the White Sand color and it worked at first. I used it probably 6 times over a year. I got a new record around the holidays and went to play it and the player wouldn't turn on.Now I've purchased a third player and received the wrong color. I ordered Tourmaline, but received the Mint color as seen in the picture. This player also would not power on upon unboxing.My sister had a Voyager that is several years old and works great so I'm trying to give this model a fair chance, especially since I didn't have to pay for the first couple.I truly don't understand how this model is still being sold because this is an issue I've seen people complain about all across the internet.I understand this is a cheap player, but it should really he priced around 30 bucks max if it's not going to last more than a year IF IT EVEN WORKS IN THE FIRST PLACE.UPDATE: Received replacement. At least it was the right color. It DID turn on out of the box, but quickly deteriorated. Turned it on once and the red power button came on but the turntable didn't turn. Turned off and turned back on, the power light turned purple, still not spin. Turned off and turned back on again and this time the power didn't come on at all. Tried a different power supply and it still wouldn't come on.What a waste of time and money. Crosley should (but wont) be ashamed of themselves.

Husband happily spinning vinyl and grooving on the beat. 100% satisfied! Great product. Easy to use, and sounds delightful in such a compact and clever design. All that at a such a small price is just, well, hard to beat. Thank you!

Have to SERIOUSLY give out a huge shout out to to Crosby ... this vintage player is exactly what you'd see in various camera shots in "A Complete Unknow" ... do NOT expect the best "Hi-Fi" sound - BUT - that's the point - if your after a rustic 70's sound experience - this is the right Record Player to take you back ... you want a high end sound - your going to need to spend north of at least $2k + to get that perfect sounds - then again - if your looking at just dropping the needle on OLD Vinal & want to just listen to music the way it "use" to sound 50+ years ago ... this is a GREAT solution !!!
