Crosley Record Player Review and Demo 

Have had my Crosley for years. It works great. It don't hurt the records at all. I've never had one problem with it.

Appreciate ur honesty bud. Unironically in these days where corporations looking over everyone's shoulder and RU-vid bow down to it, honesty doesn't make you famous, but it is appreciated thank u :)

Goodaye. Here’s a little speech from someone who knows their shit about record players. I’ve had a few in the past and have finally settled for a pioneer PL-990. Not the best but does the job well. As far as everyone who says cheap record players like this destroy your records, yes this is true to a degree. The reason for this is the high tracking force mainly. But audiophiles over exaggerate it massively. They do damage your records more than good quality players do, but not to the extent in which the vinyl doesn’t work anymore. You could go for years on a shitty record player and barely hear the damage when you play the same record on a new and better one. There have been tests done so go and check them out. Enjoy your record player anyways mate, I know a few people who have the same one. Sure, I wouldn’t use a Crosley personally, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend putting any expensive records on there. But for just cheap ones, go for it. I mentioned this subject to my grandad a while back, and he made the good point of that good record players back in the day were even more crude than the shitty cheap ones we have today. And yet I still own some of his old vinyl and they still sound great!

That is why there is AUX at the back for you to connect to any amp or speaker with line input. The small round adaptor is for large holed 7 inch records that play on 45rpm.

Hi! I just got my first my first record player as a gift and I’m in love with it’s design. It is a Create Record Player Compact. This week I bought my first vinyl (from a live performance, with a lot of bass) and when I got to play it, it was constantly skipping parts of the songs. I tried it in another Create player and it wouldn’t skip. But that second Create player had external speakers connected. Is that the only solution? Or is there a way of “calibrating” these record players? Thank you 😊

The adapter you referred to is for a 7" 45 record most only have 2 songs on them one on each side. The built in speakers would sound great if you upgraded them to good quality ones. The needle arm should have adjustable weight on it to avoid skipping. Lastly this is a portable "on the go" turntable hence the suitcase design so yes it's a poor choice for a home system. You Should have bought the DJ100A for a few dollars more the Quality & design is like Night & Day.

I’ve got a cruiser that’s a few years old now and the headphone jack doesn’t work does anyone know why this may be?? Every time I plug my headphones in the music still plays through the speakers can I fix this??

What is the type and the colour / the name of this Crosley? I love the colour!

I couldn't see it from the camera angle and the lighting, but I'm pretty sure that Crosley had the rock-bottom el cheapo all-plastic stylus on it. (The tip may be a wee bit of diamond, but the remainder is entirely one piece of plastic.) Those are very stiff and won't allow the stylus to follow heavily modulated grooves, hence the skipping. You can buy an upgrade stylus with an aluminium cantilever bonded to the plastic part via a rubber compliance that is much easier on records. (Most newer machines now are fitted with this better stylus.) I would like to see one of these players undergo an A/B comparison of the two types of styli just to see if that change of stylus makes that improvement.

Is this record player pre-amped.?.cos I couldn't hear anything via my AUX channel..

كم سعرها جديده الكروسلي ؟

I got the newest version of this model and honestly mine doesn’t sound nearly as bad as this one does? Maybe I just got lucky but my friend as a more expensive turntable that sounds pretty much exactly the same with the same record. The sound quality is decent.

I got one for my 18th birthday about two weeks ago and I returned my first one because it sounded warped so I got another one and it still sounded like sh*t!! Time to get a Musirend turntable now

Found one of these little record players in the trash im a garbage collector for the city i also found a nice jbl sound bar in the trash i plan to gut this case open take everything out use a 12v power wheels battery and make a portable boombox hopefully everything goes right

Hi, Can anyone suggest me good record player but at the same it’s affordable. Thankyou in advance!

Have you upgraded to a Bang & O. Since this vid ?

How the hell do you get the turntable to spin?

I got this speaker as I just started collecting vinyls and it was only £20 so it was a good deal it’s a bit naff but I think it will do for the time beinf

As Neil Young once sang " piece of crap "

They are 40 bucks a Best Buy right now lol

My issue is the tonearm is too heavy. It will stop the record from turning. Why would this happen

Ohhh..the warmth! Lmao

I have the same on but for some reason my arm won't stay still. It keeps moving to the centre which makes the sound distorted? Any help?

There called starter Needles there ment so that you can make sure your record player works you’re supposed to replace it with a better needle

Rip

this is the design i am in love with, but i cant find one like it that is actually good...does anyone have a reccomendation?

What size record does this use?

Any advice for someone who has absolutely no experience in this? 😂

omg i have a vinyl player that LOOKS like a crosley. but its by Intempo and its no where near as bad as the crosley XD

STAY AWAY FROM RECORD PLAYERS WITH SPEAKERS BUILT IN!! If you see one that's made from wood take a closer look! Ones built in the 1950s had speakers built in, but had the TT isolated from the cabinet with rubber and springs (think shocks on a car, same principle) usually those that have vacuum tubes and can be a good find! But never pay more than $75 unless you really want it, because unless you do the work yourself, they'll charge an arm and a leg to restore which is BS because if your skilled you can restore tube equipment for around $20 but they'll charge you $100+ for literally an hour's worth of work.

I completely agree. I wanted to love it, love the idea of it but I've had a few record players in my life, and the warble sound quality sucks. Buy something else for sure. Do you have a cheap suggestion for someone who doesn't place records all that much?

I had something like that back in 1964. I was a kid..

100$? They are 35$ everywhere

I have this record player and i love this i don't like those people who through this away.

My adapter was good but maybe yours got shipped over seas

Latest generation turntable

But is it possible to still use a crosley and not use the speakers on it and use regular speakers?

No, in this case the skipping is caused by the cartridge that can’t track the groove properly. How dare they call it turntable and the numerous the same stuff under different names. True, there is no dampening. But there is also no anti skate that might perhaps would do the trick. To be honest though, I doubt it.

This Bad Boy is good.

Make sure you clean the records and stylus plus replace with diamond stylus if not on..as they r 5.5grams tracking. Not light. Some come with a couple.

It's music who gives a shit just enjoy it

hi, im thinking to buy this for my fiance. is it okay to buy from this brand?

The case is worth more than what's inside. You could not build anything more flimsy and cheap than a Crosley record player. They do make better stuff but for some reason most people buy their low end crap.

THE ADAPTOR IS FOR 45 RPM RECORDS!!!!

Good stereo audio is gonna cost you some money....At least a couple grand...and then the sky's the limit!!

Hi ! i was totally disapointed by the sound. It was foggy and ugly. Lots of bass and no clear sound. But !!!! i found out that after i plug my Hi-Fi AUX IN into the Phones, i got an amazing sound coming from my Hi-Fi Speakers ! So i was about to sell it for nothing with a heavy heart thinking someone else would get that rubbish sound to "enjoy" but finally i m going to keep it ! so maybe that advice can help you too ? Good Luck and always enjoy the Music !

What do u expect cheap turntable and now that’s 30 $ in Walmart.That’s why I have Specialist and ROTEL turntables so it won’t be a waste of money

When I was growing up (a long time ago), children were the only ones who had suitcase record players. They were essentially toys. No adult ever used them. Looked at in that light, they were fine for what they were and what they cost. The problem is that grown people buy them now and expect them to sound good. They won't sound good. They never did.

It's good por not?? Idk

I see these players being so called reviewed as Opening the Box type of things and they are obviously spooned in my opinion and anyone with half a brain knows they are rubbish but thanks for an honest review for once.

Not all crosley turntables are bad, like their c6 turntable isn't bad at all

It’s the worst sounding turntable I have ever owned. Avoid.

Oh man what have you bought. I expect it's broken by now, and any vinyl played on it has been destroyed.

You just saved me £7 👍👍

I saw one of these at the thrift shop today for 20$...no thanks.

They're fine if all you want is a toy. There's no sense at all in getting into vinyl if you plan on playing it on something so cheap and nasty---you'll never hear what records are all about.

All of the obvious issues are all addressed by people who know the audio as well as equipment "audiophiles" If you will. But what I really think is some simpler explanations being missed. No....you don't play records on it at full blast. But a real sound system will do the same. Skip. It's not made for audiophiles However the right in front of your face that your missing.... Portability!! You take it along (instead of your good turntable) And plug that in thru the really or aux cord to listen on someone else's stereo equipment. I don't have one. However I would tote that around before my personal turntable. And again I don't have one. So I'm curious if the internal speakers cut off when the aux is used. If so...purpose served. J.m.i. (just my opinion) Thank you and God bless Paul.O

I know "Ain't No Grave" well and when it started playing I was like "Okay give it a second" but the second his vocals came in. It's all treble on the vocal tone and the actual music is barely there. There is a huge bass line and feel in and to that song and you can't hear a single bit of it or really ANY of the music for that matter. There is ZERO clarity and it just sounds like blah. The subtlety In the composition of the song is completely lost ... It's just terrible sound quality. I'm not even trying to be mean but, my goodness, it DOES actual sound like a huge bag of rubbish. It Literally sounds like the whole song is being strangled or suffocated and it is struggling to find a way to get out and away from that 'record player'. It sounds like a dollar store pair of headphones. Horrible. Horrible Redenbacher.

"For the purpose of this video.." you're destroying literally Johnie Cash. Awesome!

Got mine today plugged it in and NOTHING. At $179 I wasted my money

I bought this thinking it was record player to Bluetooth speaker. It not!!! It's the other way around. Who would want to Bluetooth their phone to listen through the crappy speaker on this record player??? Avoid

I down voted this video at first then up voted it because the truth at the end...

its sounds not gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

if you would stop talking over it we would be able to hear the music. Mine is great over 3 years and no issues

Stay away from cheap turntables due to will get horrible sound and will damage the records

That's really bad for a turntable to create skipping because of the bass

125 downvotes are Crosley employees. I bought one to try on black friday. I don't think it'll hurt records. But it is the worst sounding record player I've ever heard. The ol ladies usb powered no name one is better. I'm judging on the audio outs. I don't care about the internal speakers. But audio out to my audio systems, its bad. Really, Really bad.

Why people like this cheap crosley design? look like a cheap toy. i bet they sound horrible.

Terrible quality record player that will DESTROY your records!!

Honestly this is all a load of lies , it’s great for what u pay obviously some parts are gonna be cheap but then ur paying for something cheap , the only reason his was skipping is bc he had his pitch to high I love mine pls stop reading opinions or reviews and get ur own don’t be unsure Ull be surprised how much they lie for views x

I have the VIBE SOUND. I paid $30. for it. Surprisingly good sound for such an inexpensive turntable.
