The 9 Best Retro Record Players to Take for a Spin in 2023

“Vinyl is the real deal. I’ve always felt like, until you buy the vinyl record, you don’t really own the album. And it’s not just me or a little pet thing or some kind of retro romantic thing from the past. It is still alive.”

1. Victrola Bluetooth Record Player (for newer listeners)

We’re starting out with a classic record player that is durable, good sound quality, portable, and stylish. The Victrola record player is a safe bet for all casual record listeners. It comes in 5 colors, turquoise, black, white, dark brown, and grey. If you want a record player to turn on for special occasions and mostly have it as a stylish piece of decor, then this is a perfect fit for you.

2. Victrola Multicolor Stylish Record Player (for decorators that want a bold statement or younger children)

This record player is very similar to the one listed above. However, it’s got this very fun print that is perfect as a gift for young children (or if any adults just love fun girly colors). I’ve seen a lot of reviews stating that it’s the perfect gift for children.

3. Angels Horn Vinyl Record Player (for more intense listeners that want better quality sound)

This record player has a beautiful, sleek look. It has the best sound quality of any record player on this list, one of the most easy setups, and is from a trustworthy brand. I don’t recommend for beginners or for children. I recommend for listeners who have a strong record collection and want to upgrade their sound system.

4. Crosley Aesthetic Record Player (for beginners)

This record player is perfect for beginners. It comes in over 30 colors and is perfect for any age. We recommend for younger listeners just getting into record players. It’s the perfect gift for girls, boys, and beginners of all ages. It’s a great price and comes in great colors.

5. Victrola Mahogany Record Player (for classic fans who want gorgeous construction)

If you’re looking for a more classic, vintage record player this is the one for you. But not only that, it’s a great price, and you can play CD’s, cassette tapes, and has bluetooth so you can play music from you phone. You can have the classic feel of a beautiful vintage record player, for a much lower price and modern features of the 21st century.

6. 1 By One Classic Turntable (for advanced listeners who want a sleek look)

This record player has a very sleek look that we love. It has a great sound quality, however, the initial setup and assembly can be a bit of a doozy, with most of the issues coming from the belt (which is the most essential part of a turntable). After the headache of the initial setup, this record player gives little problems, great sound quality, and has bluetooth capabilities if you still have a small record collection.

7. Seasonlife Retro Record Player

This vintage style record player is a stunning piece that would beautifully match a home or apartment with vintage, old-school home decor. Also, the price is an absolute steal for this thing!

8. LP&No.1 Classic Wooden Record Player

This bluetooth speaker has built in speakers and great sound quality. It’s got a great look, but we don’t really recommend for more experienced listeners. If you’ve been looking to upgrade your sound system and turntable for the best quality, we would recommend the Angels Horn Record Player.

9. Retrolife Suitcase Portable Record Player (durable quality, lower price)

Finally, we have our personal favorite on the list for a few reasons. It has one of the lowest prices, is portable, has bluetooth, has the fun look of a Crosley with a better quality, has the capabilities of the portable Victrola but with a better deal and also has a classic, but stylish vintage look. It’s available in 6 gorgeous colors. Our personal favorites are the black and dark green.
