1byone High Fidelity Belt Drive Turntable with Bluetooth

 I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about this vinyl player. It is heavy and durable, yet very easy to set up. The sounds quality is nothing i have heard out of a player that doesn’t require separate speakers, although you can hook some if you like. It is also bluetooth compatible. And it so sleek and gorgeous!!! It is so worth spending a little extra money to get something that will last, and not ruin your vinyls. I am so unbelivably pleased with this thing!!

First and foremost, I have to recognize the pursuit of excellence in customer service that was provided by this seller. Their response time and support exceeded expectations. As mentioned by a previous customer (who recently posted on 08/07), when I received the initial turntable, I also had motor speed inconsistencies causing pitch issues that was soon followed by an underwater/garbled sound. It seems the needle was weak or broken. I was sent a new needle and belt, and it immediately solved the issues. However, I decided to return it and reorder a new one due to some other cosmetic damages and defects it had that I believe occurred during shipping and I was concerned about other issues yet to surface. I received a new one and have had it for several days now…playing it non-stop and have had NO issues. Again, I can’t state enough how responsive and supportive this seller was during this entire process. The unit also comes with a 90-day return policy and 2-year warranty from 1 by One which weighed in my decision to try another one and I am so glad I did.
Back to the review – I tried multiple turntable units with the convenience of built in speakers prior to this one, and this turntable by far surpassed them all! The tone is rich and full for a built in! The highest volume level easily fills a medium size room and beyond. Setup was easy and the instructions (including a video link) were clear.
However, I did find the counter weight to be a little off +/- .5 but in using my digital tonearm scale (highly recommend using one), it was easily remediated to get the weight set at that mfg recommended 3.5g.
There are 2 features that I believe should have larger bullets next to them. The first one is that this unit does have an “Auto-Off” feature (not the same as Auto-Stop). When the turntable reaches the end of the record and it does not register any sound for 3 minutes, the platter turns off and stops spinning. Shortly afterwards, the power on the unit turns completely off. Just to be clear, the tonearm remains on the record, but it is no longer spinning. I did have one album that had an off-centered label on it and it was unable to detect silence for 3 minutes and kept running. Every other album, even those with a pop or repeated click sound at the end did Auto-Stop after 3 minutes and worked as designed.
And lastly, while it does come with “Bluetooth-In” to play wirelessly from your phone or other Blutetooth output device through the units 4 internal front speakers, it does not come with native “Bluetooth-Out” functionality. However, to use my Bluetooth Wireless Headphones with this turntable (which also sound great), I purchased a “Bluetooth 5.0 Audio Receiver Transmitter 2 in 1 with Remote, Bluetooth Hi-Fi Audio Adapter with 3.5mm＆RCA” from PONYBRO here on Amazon and it works perfectly. This is an attractive and retro looking turntable that sounds amazing!

I purchased this record player as a gift for a loved one and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of it. If you’re playing this in a smaller room the sound is surprisingly damn good. In general the whole player has quality feel and look to it, it doesn’t look or feel cheap at all. Given what other record players are available on the market in this price region, this is the best value I’ve come across. I have high standards for everything, and I definitely recommend this record player.

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.”
