Audio-Technica AT-SB727 Sound Burger Portable Bluetooth Turntable, Black

This turntable is compact, lightweight, and easy to use. For the money it sounds very very good. I have connected it with ease to my headphones and Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Plus both wired and wirelessly. In my compact living room it's a great way to add vinyl that fills the room without adding more furniture. I bought a separate case for it that I found here and also stashed if you cables and adapters in the pouch within it. Battery life is outstanding. It has very little self noise for the price. Bluetooth connection is quick although visual feedback is pretty minimal. The stylison cartridge are not entirely modular, meaning that upgrading them is basically a non-starter as they use a headshell/cartridge specifically for this unit. I wish the top lid were a bit more dense or had more metal instead of a plasticky build. The mini "platter" is awesome, however. Start and stop is very quick for the price. It also works great with true wireless earbuds... I have the momentum true wireless 4 and it basically sounds wired. It's wild!

I kept seeing this on Instagram and just thought it was such a cool piece of analog history. So I decided to save up for it and I'm glad I did. On its own. It's a great little conversation starter. I have it displayed on my console with other analog media devices. It actually plays fairly well and for the price it is a better option than some of the other "affordable" record players out there

I have limited storage and table space, but also wanted something to listen to the LPs I have, and to audition used vinyl purchases. The Sound Burger is a perfect solution, and I have been extremely happy with its performance so far. The tracking and play quality is excellent. It pairs easily with my Klipsch bluetooth speakers (I have both a One and a Three), and sounds beautiful. When I'm done, I just pop it into a case (purchased separately; the Hermitshell hard case made for the Fujitsu ScanSnap fits my Sound Burger perfectly) and it fits compactly on a shelf, with a *much* smaller footprint than a conventional turntable. Charging and battery life are good (I haven't yet run out of battery, so don't know how long cordless operation lasts per charge; several hours at least; and if you leave the cord plugged in, you don't need to worry about it).Even a visiting, audiophile family member (with two high end turntables) was very intrigued and impressed with the Sound Burger, and is thinking about getting one as a travel solution for LP listening. Its a cool gadget with great sound.

This is a replacement review on the replacement unit I received yesterday. The first unit I got had really bad flutter. I’m happy to say the replacement works flawlessly. Well, it’s got its flaws, but more on that later. I would rate this 4 1/2 stars as is, but some things need improvement.This players produces excellent sound, both over Bluetooth, and the wired line out. It’s easy to operate, once you figure out you have to remove the transport locking screw on the back of the unit.I like that the included 45 adapter does triple duty as a record clamp for 12” records, and as a tone arm rest when the player is not in use. The clamp hold the larger discs securely against the tiny platter.It’s a lot of fun using this, and I’ve been playing a lot of 45s the past 2 days. I wanted this to hook up to a shelf system in my living room, to test out boxes of 45s I have that have not yet been played.It’s great that it has a rechargeable battery for portability. I may just take this outside with some records to play through my Bluetooth speaker.So beside the fact that I love this for its sound quality, moving magnetic cartridge that won’t ruin your records, mine tracks at 3.32 grams, not really terrible, portability and the “cuteness” factor, there are a few shortcomings that prevented a 5 star rating. I hope Audio Technica will fix these flaws.1) The platter needs to be raised a little higher. There is barely any clearance between the record and the case. Perfectly, or near perfectly flat records will be fine, but if you have any warped records, they may drag on the case. Increasing the platter height will help with this.2) The cartridge holder needs to be redesigned because it also prevents even slightly warped records from playing properly. There is barely any clearance between the record and the back end of the cartridge holder where it is screwed into the tone arm. I don’t know why there is a little protrusion at the back, which leaves barely any space between the record and that little bump. Even slightly uneven records will scrape against that bump. Warped records sometimes won’t play due to the scraping and skipping.3) Auto shutoff at the end of the record. While it’s not a dealbreaker, it would be nice to have.4) A tone arm lever to raise and lower the tone arm. With the tight space between the record and the cartridge holder, it’s not always easy to lift and lower the tone arm without scratching your records, especially if, like me, you have fat fingers.Having said all this, I still absolutely adore this little record player. If AT decides to take my advice and fix the 4 issues I listed, it would be nothing short of a 5 star winner.

Bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She has lots of records but no space for a record player or stereo. Easy to use and easy to pair. Works well with all of out BT headphones. Mak sure albums are clean, and I suggest dedicating a pair of good BT headphones to this device. Well worth the price and a great gift idea.
