Victrola Journey

£59 UK RRP
Victrola's rival to the Crosley Cruiser: a Bluetooth suitcase player with built-in speakers, usually the cheapest way to play a record at all.
Checked against the manufacturer’s site: 2026-07
Who it suits
Best suited to: listening with zero extra equipment — the speakers are built in. Less ideal for: anyone who cares about sound quality — the built-in speakers limit every deck in this category more than the turntable mechanism does.
Compatibility and setup
- Manual operation: you cue and lift the tonearm by hand at the start and end of each side — there’s no auto-return or auto-lift.
Good to know
- The built-in speakers make this self-contained. External speakers will usually give a larger, clearer sound if the player provides an audio output.
- Can transmit over Bluetooth as well as a wired output. A wired connection avoids Bluetooth codec compression.
