JBL Spinner BT, Bluetooth Turntable

I found that setting this up and connecting this through my sound system relatively quick and easy to do. The quality of sound was excellent with undiscernible lag. I am very pleased with the product

This has replaced my older and somewhat cheaper turntable, and I didn't think there would be that much difference in quality, but oh I was sooooo wrong. Just looking at it, the whole thing just oozes quality and the build is just superb. The setup of the tonearm is really straightforward and the fact that it is a balanced arm, is even more impressive, as this is something I would expect on a much higher end and more expensive device. This helps to achieve a smoother and less intrusive playback, and there we have the next point. The separate cartridge that neatly slots onto the arm, also gives you the potential opportunity to use different cartridges. As for the sound reproduction, I can honestly say that it is worlds apart from the previous turntable, and is rich and full but has the clarity in the high end frequencies that some tend to miss. The solid aluminium platter coupled with the damped feet and mdf plinth ensures that any vibrations are very effectively reduced. The turntable speeds are controlled by a belt drive system locked with a speed monitor to ensure totally accurate speeds. All in all a very worthwhile upgrade to my AV setup and one that does not disappoint

I've wanted a Bluetooth turntable for a little while now so I got the JBL Spinner BT. So far I like it a lot. The only things I would've done differently is maybe put the power switch and Bluetooth connect button in a more accessible location, not the back. Also, there's no place to keep the little 45 adapter. I would have put a post or something on top to keep it from sliding around. I also would have made the tonearm up and down lever the lighter color of the anti skate adjust dial as it's pretty hard to see when the lights are low. I've run it on Bluetooth and wired analog and I can't tell the difference. In all I'll say this is a great addition to my system. Nice work Jbl!

A great spinner from a brand as JBL, that has huge history in music and sound. Easy to set up, with an elegant and modern finish that matches in every living room. The sound quality is amazing and I really enjoy putting my vinyls playing and be immersed in sound. It doesn't have built in speakers but really easy to connect through Bluetooth to a sound system (or through cables). Really durable and of quality feel. Definitely recommend it!

I've been really pleased with the quality of this product. I did find the set up guide on YouTube really helpful in setting up the turntable. After watching this I found it really clear how to set up the tone arm and so on. The beauty of the Bluetooth function is how easy the turntable is to use any where around the house. I've set mine up to use in the bedroom. It's really helped me start off the day in a good mood having music on whilst I get ready to take on the world! I've got some other turntables and I was planning to swap the stylus on this turntable for quite an expensive one, but I'm so pleased with the sound, I really don't think it's necessary for me to change the stylus. I'm really happy I decided to buy this product. I've already talked a friend into buying one!

This seems to be a well made product, everything seems sturdy. The main thing I think lets it down is the supplied stylus, when using it out of the box, it seemed to lack some dynamics to the sound. I swapped with a stylus from another turntable I have and it instantly sounded better, and it's not a high end stylus, so a recommended upgrade. Bluetooth pairing is easy, though when using with Airpods, I haven't found a way to control the volume, though it does play at a comfortable volume. Maybe the intention is to use with a Bluetooth speaker with its own volume control. I am able to walk around the whole house and still remain connected without any breakup / drop outs. The Audio-Technica cartridge is a good quality cartridge, but also is upgradable. Should you want to look at improving this this can be easily switched out for a great price by yourself. But I'd suggest just leaving the standard cartridge on as it does the job well. Setting up the turntable can be a daunting experience however it is made really easy with this turntable it provides a full guide and clear setup instructions so I would expect even beginners would get up and running in no time. Overall it is a great turntable suitable for not only beginners or those starting out with vinyl playback but also those looking for upgraded system. Great load of playback versatility and at a acceptable price level.

Set up wasn't too tricky, the only issue being the quick start guide could be clearer about how to fit the weight to the tone arm. The feet seem to do a good job at dampening vibrations, sat on the desk that I'm typing on isn't causing any noise. The lack of auto start and auto return seem odd, features that I'm used to on the 70s and 80s turn tables I normally use, but in practice not really a problem, the needle drops very gently to the record when using the lever to lift and lower the arm. The playback speed seems accurate and constant (a guitarist who likes to play along with records).

The last time I used vinyl player it was almost 30 years ago. I always wanted one as an adult but never got round to it till my older children started to say that it would be so cool to have it. I was so excited when I ordered JBL spinner. I liked the look and simplicity but the same time elegant design with black and gold which matching with my JBL authentic 300 speaker. It looks great together and gives a character to a room. I love that it has a Bluetooth connection and I can keep the speaker in a kitchen when cooking and listen to the music. In my opinion the sound is great. The only downside that vinyl is expensive but it gave me a new opportunity for a new passion to go to charity shops more often to look for authentic vinyl for the good price.
