Extremely Pleased

If you’ve come here looking for an attractive, all-in-one, medium-range (price and quality) record player, this is it. This is the one you want. Go ahead and put it in your cart. Or, if you prefer, read on, and you can hit “buy now” in a few minutes. Look, I’m a musician myself, so I’m certainly a music lover. And I’ve got good taste. I like nice things. But, I’m not laying down $1k (or more!) for a turntable and speaker set. And neither are you; otherwise, you wouldn’t be reading these reviews. Like me, you’ve got some vinyl and a decent amount of disposable income, so you’re looking for something a little nicer than the record-player-in-a-suitcase but not anything that will break the bank. I’ve got 50+ LPs, mostly inherited, and an equal number of 45s, also vintage. I don’t want to ruin them with low-quality needles and heavy arms; I don’t want them skipping due to flimsy arms and bouncy plinths. So, I did the research. (Unpaid, unsolicited, by the way) And this unit sits in that perfect sweet spot between “cheap” and “ridiculously expensive” (and frankly, pretentious). You get an exceptionally smooth and steady turntable, very easy to use even for rank beginners (my kids can operate it with minimal assistance); nice sounding speakers — nothing party-bumping, but the sound fills a modest living space without distortion; all with a stylishly understated classic vibe that’s unobtrusive and portable. (I easily carried it to class for my students to hear. They thought it was dope, as will you, my co-consumers.) Everything was in the package just as described, I had it set up in no time. Everything works as designed: Bluetooth functions well, within a reasonable but somewhat limited (10-15’) range. (“Limited range?!” Yes. But if you’re walking away with your phone in your pocket, are you really listening to the record player anymore? I mean, you can do chores in the next room, but you can’t walk the dog and expect it to stay connected! Lol) The cover stays on and stays out of the way; whether open or closed, you’ll not have trouble with LPs scraping the lid. It’s everything you’re looking for if you’re looking at $200 all-in-one record players — and it’s what you should be looking for if you’ve been shopping for a cheaper system but are scared off by the negative reviews. You don’t have to spend $1000 for a “good” sound system, but it is worth spending a little more to get something you’ll really enjoy and be proud to own. I promise, I’m not anyone special, and I don’t have a hidden agenda. I was here to review a crummy belt buckle when Amazon reminded me to review some other purchases. When I saw this one, I was like, “yeah, I’ll review it because it’s pretty awesome and I want people to have the joy of owning nice things on a budget.” Ok. You still with me? Then, “buy now.”

Far better than the price

Look, I'm an audiophile that has owned numerous complete stereo setups through the years. My go-to LP player is an old Zenith that I've had for 35 years with capacitor upgrades to keep it smart. I wanted a cheapo "all-in-one" player to set on my computer desk to play records while I work online in my clutter free office room. I tried a couple Target brand style suitcase players and promptly threw them in the trash due to abysmal sound / functionality issues. Oh well, you get what you pay for and I guiltily contributed to unnecessary plastic waste. I decided to give an the intrinsically horrible idea of an "all-in-one" one more try and took a deep dive into reddit and various internet forums. The result was me buying this 1-by-One here. And I hate hate hate buying on Amazon because my experience has been historically subpar. It's a convenient but inferior venue quality wise. I'm 6monthish into having this player and it's been played heavily. The sound is loud, heavy, and smooth. The speaker magically does not bounce my needle yet (though I've seen some bad reviews on this matter. Do take those into consideration). Whatever foot dampeners this has works wonders for me, much better than my traditional players where my 8 year old scratched LPs by running behind me. I don't yet trust it with my most prized LPs, but I'm getting close. The stylus is a quality one and I've not replaced it yet. I buy a lot of trashed LPs from thrift markets and clean them up briefly with an alkaline solution and microfibre clothes before throwing them on if they are overly dirty. But this stylus and player still look and act new. Maybe it's had 600'ish plays, but that's a wild estimate...maybe more...maybe less. Still, I'm very very very happy with the purchase. It's not to replace your audiophile system. But for great sound in a compact place, dude, I'm a happy buyer. I did have some hiccups with setup where the lid wouldn't close over the balancer after I tuned it, but I did something stupid. There's videos out there. Watch 'em. Expect a 30min setup process. All the best! I've played Tom Waits "Closing Time", Miley Cyrus "Plastic Hearts", and Megadeth "Peace Sells" on it tonight. They all sound great Another caveat, the stylus/arm doesn't auto-retract on ending the record. The controls are good, but it's best to manually lift the arm with the control as soon as the LP plays out. Sometimes it senses the end of the LP and turns off after 2-3minutes (but it turns off with the stylus still in the groove). Other times, it runs for like 2 hours before deciding to shut down. Depends on the groove lay out I guess. It has it's downfalls. But it's a perfect aesthetic budget compact "all-in-one" player. Great for LP resellers or office listeners.

Great Beginner Record Player

I'm going to start this off by saying I'd never used a record player in my life before ordering this. My mom gave me her collection of old records, and I needed a way to play them. I spent months trying to figure out what kind of record player I wanted and after reading countless reviews, I settled on this one. As someone who'd never had one before, I was happy that this came with both paper instructions and a video to help set it up. I had no idea what I was doing, but with the video and paper manual, I was able to get it set up. However, I did also use some YouTube videos when it came to balancing the tone arm because I wanted to make sure I was interpreting the instructions correctly (I have anxiety and I was worried about messing up my new, expensive for me record player lol). When I put my first record on, I was excited that the record played, meaning I set it up correctly. Is the sound the best quality in the world? No. But honestly, I'm happy with it. I think the music sounds pretty good. I don't tend to listen to music on anything fancy as it is, usually I have my music playing on my TV or on an Echo Dot speaker at home. I had considered getting something I could hookup external speakers to, but I'm pretty limited on space, so this compact all-in-one was the right choice for me. While some people don't love that the controls are under the lid, it doesn't bother me that much. I tend to set it to a certain volume and just leave it. I kind of like that the controls are under the lid because I have a curious cat who would love to play with the knobs if he had the chance. Volume wise, I think it's pretty good. I keep it fairly low because it's right next to the chair I lounge in, but even when I leave the room, I can still hear it pretty clearly without turning it up. Looks wise, I went with this one because it didn't look super modern. That was just something that was important to me personally. Overall, I think this is a great option for someone like myself who is just starting to get into this. It was relatively easy to setup for me as someone with absolutely zero knowledge or experience. This thing will get a lot of use by me and I'm happy to finally have a record player!

Great Starter Turntable with Solid Features, but a Few Limitations

I picked up the 1 by ONE High Fidelity Belt Drive Turntable with Built-in Speakers because I wanted a simple all-in-one setup for playing vinyl without needing separate speakers. After using it for a while, I think it’s a really solid option for beginners or casual listeners, though there are a few things worth noting. First, the positives. The belt drive system and magnetic cartridge actually deliver surprisingly clear sound for a turntable with built-in speakers. Vocals and instruments come through nicely, and there’s enough volume for a bedroom or small living room. Setup was very easy—I had it running within a few minutes of unboxing. The wireless playback feature is also a nice bonus because you can connect your phone and use the speakers for streaming music when you’re not playing records. The design is another strong point. It has a clean, modern look that fits well with most home decor, and the dust cover helps keep the platter protected when it’s not in use. The auto-off feature is also helpful because it stops the record from spinning endlessly once it finishes. That said, there are a few limitations. The built-in speakers are convenient but not extremely powerful, so if you’re really into audio quality you’ll probably want to connect external speakers through the aux output. Also, while the tonearm and cartridge perform well for casual listening, more serious vinyl collectors may eventually want something more adjustable. Overall, I think this turntable does exactly what it promises: it’s an easy, stylish, beginner-friendly way to enjoy vinyl without a complicated setup. If you’re just starting your record collection or want a compact player for a smaller space, it’s a great entry point.
