• Victrola Wave

It’s no secret that vinyl record sales have exploded over the past several years. Recording artists and fans that have grown tired of the digital age of streaming services have leaned more into the collectability and ownership of tangible physical media. That’s the reason why the global vinyl market grew an estimated $1.5 billion in 2023 with projections to reach $2.4 billion by 2030 according to reports.

Of course, hardware manufactures are attempting to one-up each other with the best turntables aimed at a new breed of buyer. At CES 2025, there were several companies attempting to make players that cater to different demographics alongside price points. One thing that definitely connects them all is that they’re all ultra stylish and offer some cool feature sets beyond playing vinyl. Here are my favorite spinners and accessories for turntables that I saw on the CES show floor.

Victrola Journey Glow

Victrola has built a solid reputation for providing some of the most interesting turntables available on the market, for a big range of budgets. This time, the company is catering to RGB-lighting-crazed gamers with the Journey Glow.

One of the many entry-level turntables announced this year, the suitcase player has LED lighting that has several configuration settings for one’s musical light show, and offers Bluetooth streaming. The most attractive feature is the price which starts at $79.99 when it drops in spring this year. I don't know how good it's going to sound for that price (though Victrola does solid-value budget turntables), but I know it's going to be popular.

Lenco LS-570WA

Swiss electronics manufacturer Lenco has been delivering great turntables for more than 75 years, and that continues today. Alongside announcing some mid-tiered price offerings through the LBTA-165WD and LBT-215, the one that stood out the most to me in person was the LS-570WA. The all-in-one record player system blends retro aesthetics with modern technological conveniences that’ll fit well in any home.

Propped up through four elegant leg stands that are removable, the LS-570WA has an integrated 80W four-speaker sound system and switchable preamp for use with external systems. Through Bluetooth reception, users can even stream music to it from other devices. Out now in the UK and EU for £389 / €389, the U.S. will get a chance to buy the LS-570WA for $469 when released in April.

Gadhouse COSMO Solar Edition

Gadhouse announced that it was updating its stylish-looking COSMO portable turntables with a new Solar Edition. Priced at $199 (£199, $399) when released in February, the device is loaded with dozens of features including Bluetooth streaming, USB and SD card music file playback, and even offers an FM radio.
