Customer reviews
Drips with charm.
I’m an audio engineer. I cater to the audio snobs who would look the other way at a record player like this. And if audio fidelity is what you’re most concerned about, you shouldn’t even bother listening to vinyl. I grew up with vinyl, more than happily abandoned it one better technologies came along, and decided to give this machine a try after staying in a short term rental that had a player and some records. And I think what this really excels that is listening to the older records from the early 60s and prior. By any objective measures the speakers in this are horrible, but they’re absolutely perfect for that kind of music. And as it turns out, it’s a really fun experience. I’ve been so absorbed into the digital world that I have forgotten what it’s like to actually own a physical copy of your music. The steaks are higher. I ended up buying a random assortment of vinyl records from somebody on the used market, and the very fact that you own a physical peace of recording history provides more incentive to listen to the music. Anyway, in terms of the hardware, This won’t win any awards for durability. The stylus and cartridge will probably have to be replaced after about 300 hours. The tone arm is very light and somewhat resident, which results in fluttering with some records. Again, that’s part of the charm. And why you should steer clear this if you care about fidelity. I also don’t think this would do very well being moved around often, and I doubt the exterior would hold up well over a short amount of time with a lot of banging around. On upshot is that the DC power it requires is 5V/1A. The same as most USB devices. So with the appropriate cable, you can power it off of a USB power bank. As a music and music history lover, this has been a surprisingly fulfilling purchase. It works well for what it is, and for the price, you can’t argue with what you get.

Pretty good for the price, but probably needs external amp/speakers
Ok, this is actually a pretty decent little unit for the money. I was seriously contemplating returning it because it sounded like it was skipping A LOT and/or the audio was cutting out (especially on quiet passages). I read through the reviews and saw that many people were complaining about the same thing, and when they contacted the company they were told that they should tape a light weight on top of the needle arm, like a penny (this was a common trick back when I was younger - 60's-70's when you didn't have an adjustment to increase the needle pressure). Many people said that it didn't work though. I have a professional audio background, and I felt like what I was hearing was maybe a cheap electronic circuit that was made to keep the small internal speakers from being overloaded and blowing them out - some kind of a dynamics controller like a compressor/limiter/gate device. So today I hooked up the external outputs on the back of the turntable enclosure to our entertainment system and it's speakers, and just turned down the volume knob on the turntable itself. WOW!! It works great now!!! I played about 6 or 7 albums - No skipping or volume dipping (except on the beginning of one of my old mid 70's records that was a little warped and I could actually see some gunk on it) and it sounds quite good (especially for what it is). So that's the deal - some sort of wonky electronics between the turntable and it's internal speakers. Not really very listenable without some external speaker system, but pretty decent otherwise. First time in decades that I've heard some of these albums on a turntable. I'll be keeping it.

A Journey I Definitely Didn’t Sign Up For
I bought the Victrola Journey Record Player a year ago along with a stack of records I hand-picked like I was building a tiny museum of my favorite music. I placed each vinyl with the gentleness of a Disney princess handling a fragile woodland creature. I watched the tutorials. I replaced the needle. I put in effort. And this record player said, “Cute. Now let me absolutely remix your life.” Every. Single. Record? Scratched. Every song? Skipped like it was dodging responsibilities. Every listening attempt? Turned into cardio. This thing scratched my vinyl like it was auditioning for a DJ residency in Ibiza. It committed so hard to the DJ lifestyle that I half expected it to ask me for a wristband and a glitter crop top. Too bad I never wanted to be a DJ, Victrola believed in a dream I didn’t even have. BUT it’s okay! Truly. Because whenever I buy CDs from local bands, I never have anywhere cute to put them. And THAT is where this little device redeemed itself. It is, without question, the cutest and most hardworking CD holder I have ever owned. A stunning piece of décor. A loyal little storage unit. Completely useless for vinyl, but absolutely thriving as furniture. So yes, I’m giving it five glowing stars: ⭐️ For its commitment to the Ibiza DJ aesthetic. ⭐️ For turning my records into percussion instruments. ⭐️ For keeping me humble. ⭐️ For looking adorable. ⭐️ And one extra star for being an excellent CD perch. Victrola, whenever you start making CD players, DM me immediately. I want first dibs on whatever chaos you create next.

Perfect entry level record player
This is a great starter record player. It’s so easy to use. You simply open it, remove the plastic cap from the needle, plug it in, and turn it on. That’s it; it’s ready to go. The speakers are perfectly suited for listening in one room or an couple rooms over with doors open and best for quiet listening; by that I mean this is not loud enough to provide party music or drown out crowd noise I wouldn’t imagine. I love it for just relaxing alone with new to me thrift store records. I specifically tested it out with the most wonky, wobbly record I had which was a very early George Jones. You can see from the reflection how warped the record is but this little Victrola played it like a champ with the needle riding the waves not skipping a single time. I was impressed.
