To preface I have never had a record player before now so I have nothing to compare my experience to, however I am still somehow surprised by the quality of the Voyager with its sleek design and beautiful black finish. I was super excited to play my first record so I purchased one and the sound quality was excellent! There is a dial to control the pitch as well as Bluetooth access for all your accessible online media. I connected wireless speakers to my player (even though the built in speakers were also great) and was blown away by the boldness and richness of sound! Definitely a great value and have absolutely no complaints whatsoever!
