With smartphones in every hand, music libraries are at the tip of our fingers. But some audiophiles still prefer the charm of vintage vinyl records and look for turntables that can become a great asset for their collection. Hong Kong-based vinyl enthusiasts have designed a compact retro-style vinyl record player called VIBESPIN. The design of the compact record player takes us back to the retro days when cars had tail fins. The maker claims that it is perfect for enjoying music at home or even on the go as it can operate without cords and boasts a long run time.
Many vinyl record players in the market are compact, but the VIBESPIN portable record player allures us with its simplicity and enhanced portability features. It measures 280 x 110 x 50 mm and weighs just 746 grams. This is why it doesn’t take up too much space and is easy to place and set anywhere although you need some room for the record to be played, depending upon its size. VIBESPIN can play most vinyl records, especially 7, 10, and 12 inches.
The turntable makes use of high-quality components to ensure durability and better performance. It has a premium Japanese needle that guarantees good music quality and can be easily replaced when worn out. The working platform of the portable vinyl record player is simple and can be operated easily.
The stylus supports the auto start/stop function and there is a rotating button to increase the volume of the built-in speaker. The startup behind the VIBESPIN claims that the speaker integrated in the device is a top-tier one and gives a nice music output but since it is only a 3W speaker you can’t expect too much from it. This is just why the portable turntable comes with the option of a 3.5mm audio out and connectivity over Bluetooth 5.3.

The long-running time of this portable turntable is ensured by its 5,000 mAh battery. It has the capacity of 12 hours of playback on a single charge that is enabled using a USB-Type C port. The USB cable and adaptor come within the VIBESPIN box. For easy storage and to prevent the chances of dust or water spoiling the device, the company provides a cover and add-on retro bag that has to be bought separately. You also have the option to buy an exclusive VIBESPIN Bluetooth speaker and auto record cleaner to keep vinyl records in good condition.
The VIBESPIN portable record player has been successfully funded on Kickstarter. Shipping is expected to begin in November 2024. You can prebook one at an affordable price of $89, which is almost half the expected retail price.
