- I snagged this Crosley Portable Turntable at JC Penny for $39 during Black Friday sale. Its a fun little portable player. Has Bluetooth in and out, plus line out if you want to use external speakers. I really dig this for what it is. Let me know what you think down below!

Just got one as a gift. I have not played LP’s since I was a kid- that’s all I used to listen to… the DOORS, Fleetwood Mac, etc back in the day. And I have to say, though you may not get the hi fidelity experience with this - it is an awesome little record player. I hooked it up to my stereo system and sounds pretty good! But it’s not just about the sound- it’s about the experience. There is a warmth and connection to the music as you hear the little scratches on the vinyl. Holding the jacket and sitting down reading the lyrics, looking at the pictures or art while listen to a side of the album - is an experience- it is an event - something different then what you get on a one-off on our phones . It forces you to appreciate the composition of the album and song selection without rushing off to the next “recommended” song on a digital algorithm. Both have its place, but it’s nice to slow down a bit and just enjoy the experience . Anyway, the CROSLEY is a good entry for someone new to vinyl or someone just wanting to listen to some old records again!
You are so right about the experience.
My son got one similar for Christmas last year. I've probably played with it more than he has. Thanks for the videos my friend!
Thanks for watching. I like this little portable turntable for what it is.
Wow what a great little player. Congrats! Vinyl will always be THE way to listen to music if you do not want to just stream it.
That's a sweet deal! I didnt know Star Trek was on record. Cool finds!
I dont know how many Star Trek records where made but this was a fun find.
I've never used a record player before so I watched this to see how to get the thing to spin, LOL. Thanks for your help.
No problem!
Great video, Star Trek on record. Sounds like a lazy Sunday on the couch listening to this.
I dig it
I just received my first Portable Turntable for Christmas and I love it! unfortunately I threw away the protective piece for the hold down clip. Overall still great video!
Thanks. Hope you get lots of enjoyment with yours. I dig mine.
Cool! I just gave my son all my records. I wouldn't have time to play them all anyway 😄
That's great!
Awesome Sold! Great album choice! Thanks for sharing Cobra
Thank you. Much appreciated
One thing I noticed was that when you stopped the record player, it didn't make that scratching noise.
I got one of them while back fun little rigs.
Awesome!
I just got one today from Walmart. Black Friday priced at $35. I forgot just how cool records sound!
Awesome
These units always run fast at center.. put it at about 11 o'clock :)
roger that
you are amazing, I hope you enjoyed your product you really helped me with mine so thank you.
You are so welcome!
Gracias me sirvió mucho su video...mi Crosley funcionó perfecto...
de nada.
thanks for the help. I was being held up on the plastic cap on the needle lol
You are welcome!
I got the Star Wars version for free (technically) a while back from half price books. It was a 50 percent off sale and I had enough in my trade ins to pay the rest.
Excellent
Thanks for the review
I used to have that album!
Im going to give it a good cleaning before listening to the rest of it. But i think i may have had it as a kid.
Omg i got this player for Christmas its my first time using a record player, tysm I literally had no clue how to use on of them but, does it matter how you position the needle? And if so how are you supposed to do it?
If you are asking about placing the needle onto the record, then just do as I did in the vid. Use the lever to raise the needle arm. Position it over the outer portion of the record. Use the lever to lower the arm. It will slow lower onto the record. If you lower the arm somewhere else on the record it will be fine but it just starts playing at whatever part of the album that its. So it maybe in the middle of a song or whatever.
@@TheRealCobraBurnout OKAY THANK YOU!!!😊😊
@@l3nalol you bet
I just got one today as a gift
That's dope I like it!
Thank you Sir
is the part where the needle is (where it goes up a level) supposed to move about? the entire platform slides about as if it isn’t really attached properly
What should I do if mine makes a scratchy noise when I use it? I just bought it and every time I’ve tried to play a record it makes a scratchy noise. And when I attempt to lower the volume it messes up the sound and just sounds even scratchier :(

Haven't used a record player ever in my life lol
You must be from Oklahoma
@@TheRealCobraBurnout 😬
@@HopsAndLeadI’ll take that as a yes, Haha
@@christechguy He knows 😂
@@HopsAndLead Haha it’s all good buddy, I am from Pennsylvania. If my family didn’t own a pawn shop we would’ve never had any records, haha.
Do you happen to know why this version doesn’t have the rubber guard for the turntable?
It has 3 rubber nubs built in to the platter. Probably so nothing flops off when traveling with it.
Asking a naïve millennial, is it right to expect a loss in sound quality if your using Bluetooth? Does it affect that rich sound you get from listening to analog?
Headphone or earbud quality probably will have some effect on sound. Decent set should translate the sound good.
Thank you
Being honest, I had a turntable like this. And I had NO PROBLEMS with it. Of course, many people gave me flack online. They said: "It probably is damaging your records. It's just that if you're playing them on this, you're not noticing it." To which I responded: "Well, then if this is what I am going to use to play my records, then it really doesn't matter, does it?!"
spot on
@@TheRealCobraBurnout Yea. You know, I had a vague memory of this STAR TREK story. So I checked it out on UA-cam. Yea. It will have you running for your wolfbane (?) 🎄and crucifix ✝. Of course, one has to wonder why M'Ress kept such crucial information to herself while all these horrible things were happening. Crazy.
@@TheRealCobraBurnout I guess she claims she slept trough it. But seriously! Just how sound of a sleeper could she have been?
Hi! I just got it as a gift, I don't know anything about these but I'm worried cause when I try to play a record I listen to the song double, at two different paces, I don't know how to explain it very well, do you know what could be the problem? 😞
sorry I'm not sure what is causing that.
@@TheRealCobraBurnout thank u for answering tho
i have the same problem, you can hear the sound that comes from the needle and then you can hear sound from the speakers like 1 second later
@@dominikskraburski3489 after reading a lot on the internet I found out that the sound coming directly from the record is normal but the intensity (or how much it interferes with the sound coming out of the speakers) depends on the quality of the turntable. I decided to return it and buy an audio-technica instead. I'm really happy now.
Are you using Bluetooth speakers?
do you like the record player so far? I just got mine today but black and red
I do
One question: What is the difference between Crosley Cruiser Plus and Crosley Cruiser Plus Turntable?
Trick Question?
@@TheRealCobraBurnout it’s not! I want to buy one of them but I’m not sure which one. It’s my first time on getting one
@@home.gymfattofit It’s the same thing.
Can I play music from my phone via bluetooth?
yes
please help where do i get the cord to turn it on what kind of cord is it????
Check the label on the bottom of your record player. It will tell you the size of the power adapter needed. Mine says it uses a AC power adaptor (DC output 5V 1A). The volts are important as some of the players use 12V instead of 5v. Here is one on Amazon to look at for a starting point: amzn.to/3OjDK1G
If still not sure, I recommend contacting Crosley to verify what you need for your model number. crosleyradio.com/contact-us
Be SUPER CAUTIOUS with the type of adapter that you get because it needs a 5 volt power adapter , anything higher in voltage will fry the record player destroying it.
Cant play my vinyl still
Can it be any size vinyl? I just got one today!!
yes
It will only wear out records if you play the same record like 1000 times non stop. THAT TREKKIE RECORD IS FILTHY AND HEAVILY WORN BEFORD YOU PLAYED IT , THAT RECORD WILL OF BEEN BETTER LEFT IN THE GOODWILL STORE
Goodwill often has the dirtiest of records.
How much does it cost?
Mine was $39 during the last Black Friday sale.
Wym rip records?
"Wym"?
@@TheRealCobraBurnout I think they're asking, "What do you mean?".
@@DoNotPassGO I explain what is meant in the vid.
As long as you like it lol
Bro
Im bringing it over to your house next visit. Spin your collector records on it.
@@TheRealCobraBurnout 👿👿
Hetfield will be upset at you for that one.
I have an old copy of Kiss’s Destroyer I’ll let you torch lol
@@jeffaroony Yes!
