CR8005F-TN Cruiser Plus Vintage 3-Speed Bluetooth in/Out Suitcase Vinyl Record Player Turntable, Tourmaline

This is a great little record player. It has great sound with the exception of any bass. It doesn't pick that up very good. I was hoping with the Bluetooth I could play the records through my phone but it doesn't work that way, although I can play music on my phone through the speakers on the record player. We haven't tried hooking it up to external speakers yet so don't know how well that will work. All in all I really like it and it lets us listen to all my vintage albums that haven't been played in probably 40 plus years.

Bought as a replacement for my son. He is into vinyl. Solid lil record player. Not ground breaking sound but you’re not paying for that.

To the point: It works, no issues connecting Bluetooth speakers. No issues with playing my LP vinyl records. Have been playing often and for extended periods swapping albums. Would I recommend this? Sure so long as you understand it's a budget player. I'll update if anything changes. TLDR: So as I said the player is a budget one. It does the job but if you're looking for that ultimate experience, look elsewhere and with a much larger budget. This thing brings a low end needle on the cartridge. You get a lot of pops and noise. The tone-arm does not have a manual counter weight and no anti-skate adjustment. It does have pitch which is interesting considering the lack of manual adjustment features. As for the platter, it's a generic compact size. Small to fit anywhere but able to support the larger LP vinyls. As for the internal construction no idea. I don't want to test really if a record puck would end up harming the motor/belt. I am using an acrylic mat and the system hasn't broken down on me yet so it's not too fragile. Back to the tone-arm, it has a cuing-lever and a switch for the platter mode. One mode has the platter going always regardless of tone-arm position. The other mode is the auto on off feature that is based on whether the arm is over the record or reached the end. There is a 3 position switch for selecting Bluetooth source, Bluetooth Speakers, and Phono. From day 1 I have been using external speakers so honestly I have no idea what this thing sounds without them. It has built in speakers but I have not once used them at all. I have a spare Bose system with a passive woofer and have no use for the built in speakers. This player supports 45, 78, and what I play 33 1/3. It brings the necessary spindle adaptor too. This player is replacing an older Crosley I've had for over 2 decades now and the only reason I'm replacing it is because it had been in storage for the past 4 or so years and something made a nest inside it. After cleaning it out I may have missed something and it started to smell like smoke. So not risking a fire, decided to get a low budget replacement while I work on saving for a full blown system. Final thoughts. I have bought some vinyls recently from Amazon and Barnes and Noble, it honestly is a hit or miss based on the quality of manufacturing. Some vinyls come out great and sturdy others warped and fragile looking. So long as you know this is a budget player and some vinyls are not made with the best in mind, you'll be fine. It still working providing my music. Hopefully it will last a long time like the first Crosley I had.

Sounds great and looks so cute in the room! The perfect addition to any room!

For the price, I didn't have high hopes for this record player. I'm pleasantly surprised at what I got! The record player is attractive, functional, and sounds great. I haven't played with the Bluetooth functions; the built-in speakers are clear and plenty loud enough that I haven't bothered with anything external. Despite its good performance, the construction was clearly conducted on a budget. Seams on the case are glued, and not stitched, and the components have a cheap feel to them, though their appearance is average. Still, everything functions well, and the features packed into the player are impressive. The lever to raise and lower the arm is great, and the needle is lowered soooo gently. The arm has a clasp that locks it in place for safe transport. The player features automatic stop at the end of the record, and the turntable itself is supported on a soft suspension, giving it the vintage version of skip protection. In addition to the Bluetooth functionality, there is a phono jack for headphones, and RCA jacks for connection to an external stereo system. Even if there was some expense spared in its construction, the player was clearly made by people who love and treasure records. My only criticism is that the player is powered by a DC wall adapter ("wall wart"). This is fine, but the adapter has no place for storage within the player, which makes porting it around less convenient. Had they built in a storage solution for this, or simply used and AC cord that would wrap up securely, this would have been an improvement. It's a small gripe, and one does not detract from enjoying the player.

My son for his 14th birthday, really wanted a record player. This fits the price point, is in good condition and easy to use. The volume is great, and he was super happy to get some records and get listening.

I first received a one of these Crosley players from work as a gift. Out of the box, it didn't work. I returned it to my work and they gave me a gift card to order another one. I ordered one in the White Sand color and it worked at first. I used it probably 6 times over a year. I got a new record around the holidays and went to play it and the player wouldn't turn on. Now I've purchased a third player and received the wrong color. I ordered Tourmaline, but received the Mint color as seen in the picture. This player also would not power on upon unboxing. My sister had a Voyager that is several years old and works great so I'm trying to give this model a fair chance, especially since I didn't have to pay for the first couple. I truly don't understand how this model is still being sold because this is an issue I've seen people complain about all across the internet. I understand this is a cheap player, but it should really he priced around 30 bucks max if it's not going to last more than a year IF IT EVEN WORKS IN THE FIRST PLACE. UPDATE: Received replacement. At least it was the right color. It DID turn on out of the box, but quickly deteriorated. Turned it on once and the red power button came on but the turntable didn't turn. Turned off and turned back on, the power light turned purple, still not spin. Turned off and turned back on again and this time the power didn't come on at all. Tried a different power supply and it still wouldn't come on. What a waste of time and money. Crosley should (but wont) be ashamed of themselves.

This is a great little record player. I bought it for my daughter. Just remember to take the plastic piece off the needle before you play it. I haven’t seen a record player in so long. I thought it was part of it lol! But yeah, it works wonderful Bluetooth. It also has its own speakers if you want. But my daughter tells me the speakers that come with it are pretty loud anyway.
