We first paired the turntable with a Braven BRV-X2, a portable Bluetooth speaker. For instance, if you send the Bluetooth output stream to a powerful speaker capable of strong bass vibrations, and that speaker sits on (or near) the same surface as the turntable, there's a good chance that the very music picked up by the stylus and sent to the speaker will cause the table to vibrate, and in these scenarios the tonearm can skip. This doesn't just mean the obvious-a flat, leveled surface-but also a surface that isn't vibrating. Like most turntables, it's also quite sensitive, so you need to make sure its placement doesn't compromise its playback. We ended up adjusting and readjusting multiple times before we could find a setting that didn't skip across the record at times. Getting the tonearm balanced with the counterweight can be tricky.

A USB output would allow for direct connection to a computer or speakers that have USB audio inputs. Bluetooth turntables seem to go hand in hand with USB turntables, and it's pretty common to find both features together, rather than just Bluetooth or USB. More significantly, the most glaring omission is the lack of a USB output. What's missing aside from a screen? An actual RCA cable that terminates in RCA on both ends would be nice, but that's a minor gripe at this price. When in doubt, reboot both devices and start from the beginning-sometimes pairing devices in a screen-free manner requires a few tries. While it doesn't take long to pair, doing this without the aid of a screen on either device can sometimes be tricky. After you put your speakers or headphones in pairing mode, switch the turntable's Bluetooth button to on, press pair, and wait for the red/blue flashing status LED to turn a solid blue. Pairing is a relatively straightforward process. There's also a pitch adjustment knob above it so you can fine-tune the playback pitch. With the power/speed button back on, you can switch speeds between 33, 45, and 78rpm. Everything works well here, but you're left with the feeling that this is a facsimile of a turntable, almost as if it was 3D printed. That said, we're used to seeing metals on parts like the platter and the tonearm. Like most of the elements of the turntable, it's plastic, and popped back on rather easily. There's also a status LED for power and pairing.Īt first, we thought the power/speed switch was missing, but it must have come loose during shipping. There's also a Bluetooth switch that needs to be turned on before attempting to pair (the pairing process also requires the pair button located next to the power/speed switch). You can flip a switch on the back between phono output and line output-when connected directly to speakers, use line, and when connecting to the phono input of a receiver, use phono.

The rounded square dust cover lifts up easily and stays open when pushed back as far as it can go. The turntable sits on four rubber feet with a little bit of suspension in each for shock absorption. What's not assembled is the counterweight, which must be placed on the back end of the tonearm and adjusted according to instructions in the manual. is a belt-drive turntable that ships with the platter and belt already assembled. Measuring roughly 5 by 17 by 14 inches (HWD) and weighing 6 pounds, the onn. turntable works well enough for the price, though if you're willing to spend more, your options improve notably. This isn't unique at this point in the vinyl gear world, but it's more common above the $100 mark. For $79.88, the turntable can easily switch between three speeds, but the main selling point is that it can stream a signal directly to Bluetooth headphones or speakers. is a Walmart-exclusive brand-so we thought we'd kick the tires on what can only be described as a very budget-friendly model. Wireless Bluetooth Turntable is likely to be staring you in the face if you shop at Walmart this holiday season-onn. We rarely review turntables, but the onn. Cartridge doesn't convey as much bass warmth as it could.
