◆ Our verdict

The Victrola Highland is a budget-friendly, portable turntable that appeals to casual listeners and those new to vinyl who want an easy, all-in-one setup. Its suitcase styling and Bluetooth output add convenience, but audiophiles will want to upgrade the cartridge or route audio to better speakers for improved sound quality.

What owners say

Melissa R.02 Nov 2023 ★★★☆☆

Great starter turntable

Bought this for my daughter who's just getting into vinyl. It's easy to set up, looks cute, and the Bluetooth feature is handy for connecting to her speaker. Sound isn't amazing out of the box speakers but it's a solid starter unit.

Tom K.15 Aug 2023 ★★★★☆

Good for the price, but basic

Does what it says - plays records at all three speeds and connects via Bluetooth to my soundbar. The tonearm feels a little cheap and I worry about long-term wear on my records, but for casual listening it's fine.

Angela P.20 Jan 2024 ★★★☆☆

Love the portability

I DJ small home parties and the suitcase design makes it super easy to carry around. Bluetooth output to my portable speaker works great. Perfect for casual use, wouldn't recommend for serious audiophiles though.

Derek S.30 Sep 2023 ★★★☆☆

Belt broke after a few months

Liked it at first but the belt drive stopped working after about 4 months of light use. Customer service was okay but I expected better durability for the price.
