Victrola has been making record players for over 100 years. That kind of heritage brings a certain gravitas that can’t be duplicated. With 18 colors and patterns from which to choose we think Victrola’s classic Bluetooth record player with speakers is one of the most interesting you can own. Why you ask? Look no further than the camouflage or hotrod red editions to see why Victrola isn’t pulling any punches. The suitcase record player also offers a rugged and easy to grip handle with what seems like an indestructible shell. If you don’t have a Bluetooth device handy the two Aux-in and headphone jack ports are super handy. Spoiler alert: Victrola makes it to our list twice – scroll to the bottom to see a very different look from the brand.

While this isn’t a record player with speakers, it is one of the finest looking turntables we have ever seen. The glossy grain looks perfectly vintage, but somehow modern at the same time. The beautiful, heavy silver accents complement the darker colors well, and can fit perfectly in an aspiring Don Draper’s New York apartment. Finishing touches like a leveling bubble with adjustable feet and die-cast anti-resonance aluminum platter on a non-slip rubber mat hammer home the feeling of complete luxury. It’s worth noting the fine wood grain on Akai’s turntable could be paired with a product from our list of wood headphones.
