It's great because it plays everything, turntable, am/fm, cd, cassette, usb and ipod. It's nice to put the records on cd's and on the computer.

item received in box sealed properly with scratch on top lid, approx., 3" long. CD skips, quality of speakers is very poor. Radio reception is lacking. Overall, disappointed with purchase.

Well I have no complain about as of yet. I gave this as a Birthday present for my boyfriend and he loved it! He raved about it for weeks, showing a picture of the gift to everyone we saw. I was afraid that all that gold and wood would turn out cheap, but I took a risk and I have to say it was gorgeous! He was really impressed with the Ipod jack too, so I'm glad I chose this model. He's been listening to the records for about a month now almost every evening and has reported no problems so far. Obviously, the speakers are not your surround sound ones we have gotten used to, but he says they totally serve the purpose. Overall, I am SO glad I got it - it's a real treat!

I purchased this item, and received it promptly. I was very pleased with the styling. When I plugged it in, the tuner was on, so I chose a frequency that I normally listen to and I was pleasantly surprised. I bought this for my mom as a Christmas gift so that she could play some old 78 rpm records , and again was pleasantly surprised with the sound.
However when I went to close the lid, there was a problem. One of the hinges was installed improperly, and the screws were loose. The assembler, did not pay attention to the predrilled holes, placing one hinge lower on the casing, thereby not allowing him to place the screws into the predrilled holes centered on the lid. The screws were forced in so close to the edge, that they cracked the cover. So I was disappointed to have to return the item.
On the negative side, the unit seems to be made of pressboard covered with a thin veneer or similar imitation, which I believe would easily be scratched or damaged.The lid does not open much, so is inconvenient for accessing the records and rpm selector.
On the positive side, the sound of reproducing the old 78's was quite agreeable, although I did not try playing the music at maximum volume.

Customer service at Pyle, were very accommodating and professional.They prepared all the paper work required, including customs papers and I received my refund in a few days.I would really have liked to have my mom enjoy this nicely styled nostalgic turntable.

A pretty fantastic product at this price range. It plays everything you can throw at it, from Ipods to USB's to CD's to records to cassetts to radio. The speakers are quite decent for 300$, crisp and clear. Records sound very good. Some other people had problems at purchase, but I did not, the entire unit worked out of the box with a minimum of hassle.

I haven't had this record play for very long but so far it seems to be good. I like the wood finish and the sound quality is not to bad. You could compare it to a portable all in one CD player or something like that that you used to be able to get out of the sears catalogue. So far nothing has broken down however this unit is not made as durable as it could have been. The front knobs are made of plastic and the turntable is also plastic. This is my first record player so I don't know how there supposed to be but I notice that the turntable wobbles a bit. For the price, I think it's a good deal and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to get into record players yet if you have been into record players for a while, you may have to pay a lot more if you want something that is of a really good quality. There are many who give these kind of record players, especially the crosley brad a bad review. I'm not sure where exactly they are coming from, maybe they were looking for something a little more high end, but I would say if you are looking for a portable record-player that does a decent job then I think you should give this one a try.

Based on the previous reviews I ordered this last week and received it this morning. Nice looking product but only one speaker worked and the cd drawer would not open or close properly. It is being returned....not worth the price!

I had been looking for something like this for a long time and I found a lot of good reviews online about the product itself. Having had it for a little while and having played with it thoroughly i can say with ease that this was a great investment. The sound quality is amazing and it switches from all devices easily. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a way to enjoy music in any form.
