Top 10 Best All In One Record Players (With Built-in Speakers)

There’s just something about vinyl. That said, other audio formats have value as well. But who has room for so many different pieces of equipment?

Luckily, now there are some really great all-in-one record players that can do a lot more than just play records.

Unfortunately, a lot of these multifunction turntables don’t work all that well. You don’t want to invest in a piece of equipment that will ultimately be a big disappointment.


I adore music and like to listen to vinyl as well as other formats. It was important for me to find a multifunction player that did it all and made my ears happy.

After all my research and testing, I came up with this list of the top 10 best all-in-one turntables. Personally, I really wanted one that could record vinyl into a digital format.

I’ve included some of those but also others that don’t quite do everything but perform very well with what they can do. This list also covers a range of price points.

Electrohome Signature Vinyl Turntable – Classic Looks, Also Plays CDs & MP3

If the design of the Audio Technica AT-LP60BK-BT is too futuristic for you, the retro Electrohome Signature Vinyl Turntable might be more your style.

It features handcrafted real wood cabinetry with a deep walnut finish. It looks like something from days long past but it has all kinds of modern touches.

In addition to playing 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records, it also plays CDs and MP3s from the auxiliary input.


Electrohome signature audio system

Similar to the Electrohome Signature Vinyl Turntable, this all-in-one record player from 1byone offers vintage styling and versatility at a very reasonable price point.

The retro look of this wood player is reminiscent of a slightly different era. Despite looking like a blast from the past, this record player offers the convenience and versatility of the modern world.

It plays 33/45/78-RPM records, cassette tapes, CDs, MP3s from a USB, and even AM/FM radio.

It has four built-in high-performance hifi speakers but you can also connect it to your stereo system or more advanced speakers using the AUX-Out RCA jack.

A 3.5mm jack lets you play music from your phone or tablet as well. While that’s great, it’s even more convenient to just use the built-in Bluetooth to play music from your devices wirelessly.

Pros
  • attractive vintage style

Fuse Vertical Record Player – To Showcase Beautiful Records

Watching a record spin around can be a meditative experience but most players don’t let you watch the magic happen.

This vertical player adds some whimsy by flipping the horizontal record spin to a vertical spin, another example of nostalgic design.

An attractive bit of whimsy, this vertical record player is a conversation piece if nothing else. Even when you’re not playing, you can showcase a beautiful record on its own.

The record playing setup sits atop a vintage-inspired natural wood frame with dual built-in stereo speakers.

Sound quality is decent but you can also connect other speakers using RCA or Bluetooth, as desired. As far as playback, this is a 3-speed turntable so it’s capable of handling any of your vinyl.

It has a straight tonearm and a ceramic needle.

You even get a replacement ceramic needle included, a nice feature. This gramophone is Bluetooth compatible, allowing you to play MP3s from any of your Bluetooth devices. You can also play MP3s from USB if desired.

  • Bluetooth compatible
  • can play MP3s from USB
  • decent speakers but can connect to other speakers with RCA

Victrola 50’s Retro Turntable – Best Budget All-in-one Vinyl Player

You’ll never find an all-in-one record player for pennies but there some surprisingly good models on the lower end of the price spectrum.

This budget option offers a lot of value. The retro styling is a callback to the 1950s.

It’s available in a few different color options, including some unique hues that will add a pop of color to your space.

In terms of size, this player is more compact than some other options. This features a 3-speed turntable, a CD player, and an AM/FM tuner.

There’s also an auxiliary jack that lets you play music from your phone or tablet.


Victrola Retro 50s in red color

You can record music from any kind of format using a USB connection and user-friendly recording software that works for both PC and Mac.

This affordable player even has Bluetooth functionality. Despite the low price, this is very well built and the parts don’t feel cheap.

There is more plastic than metal but it is sturdy and durable rather than flimsy. So what’s the catch? A true audiophile might find the sound quality of the built-in speakers to be sub-par but the average person will find the sound more than adequate.

Some people find that the volume is a bit lower than they’d prefer but unless you’re on the other side of a huge room, the volume is really pretty decent.

Pros
  • low price, high value
  • attractive retro design with choice of color
  • compact
  • has recording functionality
  • has Bluetooth capability
  • 1-year warranty on parts
Cons
  • volume is on the low side
  • sound quality won’t impress the audiophile
  • there have been some quality control issues
Verdict: The affordable and compact Victrola 50’s Retro Turntable has an attractive retro design and a number of great features, including recording functionality.

Jopostar Bluetooth Record Player – Compact Design with 2*3W upward stereo speaker

Coming in at an even lower price point, this Jopostar player is another promising budget entry.

It has a slim, compact design and a number of great features. The built-in 2*3W upward stereo speakers offer decent sound but probably nothing that will impress the audiophile.

You can, however, connect the gramophone player to a higher-end hifi sound system if desired. Bluetooth-enabled, this player allows you to play music from your phone, tablet, or computer.


There is also an auxiliary input option. You don’t get CD, cassette, or radio options with this player.

It does offer vinyl-to-MP3 recording.

There is also an autostop function that stops the record platter from spinning once the end of the record is reached, a great option for those who tend to fall asleep listening to music.

Pros
  • attractive, simple, compact design
  • Bluetooth functionality
  • speakers are okay, can connect to better speakers with RCA
  • vinyl-to-MP3 recording function
  • autostop feature
  • low price
Cons
  • no CD/cassette/radio options
  • the Bluetooth connection can be spotty
  • the sound quality could be better
Verdict: The affordable Jopostar Bluetooth Record Player is a nice-looking player with some excellent features but a few potentially big negatives.

Victrola 3-Speed Record Player – Modern Turntable With 50 Watt Speakers

This record player is available in both a vintage-inspired wood and burlap design and a range of sleeker, more modern styles. All of the designs are very simple without any frills or wasted space.

This 3-speed turntable comes with two nice 50-watt speakers. The speakers aren’t perfect but they are pretty decent and they do offer a lot of volume.

If desired, you can connect the player to a higher-end sound system to get that high-end audio quality.


In addition to playing records, it has built-in Bluetooth functionality so you can wirelessly play MP3s or other digital files from another device.

There is no radio nor the ability to play cassettes or CDs. You also don’t get any recording capability.

Pros
  • attractive, sleek, simple design with color choice
  • separate speakers, offering good volume
  • Bluetooth capability
  • easy to set up and use
  • affordable
Cons
  • there have been some quality control issues
  • some parts feel cheap
  • no dust cover is included
  • can’t play CDs, cassettes, or radio
  • no recording capability
Verdict: The Victrola 3-Speed Record Player probably isn’t a great choice for the true vinyl aficionado but it’s a nice-looking player for the average listener that offers some good features.

1Byone Portable Turntable – Brief-case sized budget record player

Most record players aren’t exactly portable phonographs but this one is. In fact, it’s designed like a briefcase.

This means it’s lightweight and compact in size, making it fairly easy to take with you. Like a briefcase, it even has a convenient carry handle.

Available in two colors, the PU leather case is durable and looks nice. It has two built-in front-facing speakers, offering okay sound.


Blue suitcase turntable

You can also plug in headphones or connect it to another sound system with the RCA output. There is no option for playing CDs, cassettes, or radio but you can play MP3s using the auxiliary port.

Pros
  • low price

  • durable and attractive design

  • sound quality isn’t the best
  • some parts feel a bit cheap
  • there have been some quality control issues
Verdict: The ultra-affordable 1Byone Portable Turntable offers ultimate convenience because of its briefcase-style portability but it’s missing a lot of appealing bells and whistles.

Buyer’s Guide & Frequently Asked Questions

What are “speeds” for?

If you are new to the wonderful world of vinyl, you might be confused by the mention of speeds and RPM.

Records are produced to be played on a phonograph at one of three speeds: 33 1/3 RPM, 45 RPM, and 78 RPM. RPM stands for revolutions per minute.

This means that for a 78 RPM record, the record spins around 78 times over the course of one minute. It’s important that a record player be able to play at the speed of a given record or it will sound either terrible or hilarious.

If you have a record player described as 3-speed, it can handle any type of record. 78 RPM records are fairly rare, so most 2-speed records will meet the needs of the average vinyl lover.

There is also a connection between the size of the record and the record speed. Most 7-inch singles are 45 RPM, for example, and most full-size 12-inch records will be 33 1/3 RPM. There is some variation here but those are the norms.

Which ones let me record my vinyls?

Several of the multifunction record players on this list allow you to record from vinyl. In most cases, it will be recording to MP3, creating digital files to transfer to another device using USB.

The Teac LPR550-USB stands out for letting you record to CD as well as to MP3.

When recording to a digital file, you’ll need some kind of software. This software is included with some of these players, like the Victrola 50’s Retro Turntable.

In other cases, like with the Teac model, you’ll need to use your own software. Free programs like Audacity are usually more than adequate.

Which ones include Radio AM/FM?

Many of these players have AM/FM radio included. The multifunction players on this list that do not have radio are the Audio Technica AT-LP60BK-BT, the 1Byone Belt Driven Turntable, the ABOX Vertical Record Player, the Jopostar Bluetooth Record Player, the Victrola 3-Speed Record Player, and the 1Byone Portable Turntable.

All of the rest do have AM/FM radio functionality. For the players without a radio option, you could technically tune into the radio station of your choice using an app on your phone or tablet and then connect that to the player.

There are only a few players on this list that are truly all-in-one. A lot of them are more like most-in-one.

Players with all-in-one functionality that includes AM/FM radio are the Teac LPR550-USB, the Electrohome Signature Vinyl Turntable, the 1byone Nostalgic Wooden Turntable, and the Victrola 50’s Retro Turntable.

Please suggest a stand or small table for my all-in-one turntable

This really depends on the size of your player and your personal preference. You also will want to consider if you want room for storing your vinyl and/or CDs. If you don’t want something that takes up a ton of space, the Novogratz Concord turntable stand is a nice option that gives you a bit of room for storing your favorite records for easy access.

If you want a bit more room for storage, the Retro Clifford Media Bookshelf Console is a good option.

Some of the storage space is open but there are also some sliding doors to hide one level of shelving.

If you like more of a homespun, rustic look, the Darla’Studio 66 Turntable Stand is a nice crate-inspired option.

This sturdy and durable stand has a small footprint but gives you room for storing records. It also has a charming, rustic look.

Do you have your eye on any of these multifunction record players? Whether you’re an audiophile, a vinyl collector, or just someone who like to have tunes playing in the background, there’s an option for you on this list.

Please share with others who might be interested in consolidating their audio equipment into one player. Do you have any questions about turntables? Feel free to ask in the comments!

    Any on your list can directly make digital recordings from vinyl or cassettes? I used to have one that went to Goodwill and now I need one again. The one I had played 78 and 331/3 rpm records but had problem with 45 rpms. I think the problem was the diameter of the standard 45s. Thanks.
