The Victrola Highland is a handsome all-in-one for casual listening, best for newcomers to vinyl. Rated 4.4 out of 5 across 1,074 user ratings. The main drawback: sound is pleasant but not high fidelity. We scored it 4.4 out of 5.
Most all-in-one record players look like luggage; the Victrola Highland looks like a piece of mid-century furniture, and that is both its appeal and its ceiling. You get a three-speed belt-driven turntable, built-in stereo speakers, Bluetooth, FM radio and RCA outputs in one handsome cabinet that fills a small room with sound. What you don't get is audiophile playback: it sounds good rather than great, and older, worn records show it most.

A belt-driven platter that plays 33 1/3, 45 and 78 rpm records, with the belt isolating motor vibration from the stylus.
Integrated stereo speakers play every source, so the Highland works straight out of the box with nothing else to buy.

An FM tuner with an old-school analog dial, gold accents and LED lighting that forms the centrepiece of the front panel.
RCA line outputs on the back (cable included) connect external speakers or an amplifier, and a 3.5 mm jack handles private listening.
A mid-century-inspired cabinet with a tweed front, wood-look finish and legs, weighing 10.5 pounds and measuring 16.1 x 13.8 x 7.9 inches.

I recently got into vinyl and was on the hunt for a quality but reasonably priced record player with built-in speakers (I'm not a fan of suitcase-style record players.) Took a while but I fi… Read it on AmazonNikka · May 4, 2022 · Verified
You could spend less, if you're looking for a record player to gift a 14-year-old. You could spend more, if you're a music producer/artist/DJ. If you're like me, and you just want something … Read it on Amazonkmc · April 12, 2022 · Verified

Set the Highland on a level, stable surface away from speakers or anything that vibrates. The packaging and instructions are thorough, so keep the manual handy.
It runs from a standard 120-volt outlet and the speakers are built in, so there's nothing else to connect before the first record.
Choose 33 1/3 for LPs, 45 for most singles and 78 for shellac records. Auto-stop is on for 33 and off for 45 and 78.
Switch to Bluetooth mode and pair your phone or tablet, staying within 33 feet. The manual covers the pairing sequence.
Connect powered speakers or an amplifier to the RCA outputs on the back with the included cable.
Switch the player to Bluetooth mode and pair from your phone or tablet's Bluetooth menu, staying within 33 feet. The included manual walks through it, and pairing with an iPhone is quick.
Yes, integrated stereo speakers. They're loud enough to fill a bedroom or studio apartment, though the sound is light on bass and not aimed at audiophiles.
33 1/3, 45 and 78 rpm, on a belt-driven turntable.
Yes. RCA line outputs on the back connect powered speakers or an amplifier, and the cable is included.
Yes, through the 3.5 mm jack. Victrola also describes that jack as an aux connection, so check the manual if you want to use it as an input.
It measures 16.1 x 13.8 x 7.9 inches and weighs 10.5 pounds, so it's a sideboard piece rather than something to carry around.
The Victrola Highland does what an all-in-one should: it looks like a piece of mid-century furniture, plays all three speeds, streams from a phone, picks up FM and fills a small room from its own speakers. It's easy to set up and easy to live with. The limits are just as clear. Sound is pleasant rather than revealing, worn vintage records come across tinny, and Victrola doesn't name the cartridge. For a beginner or a small space it's an easy recommendation; for anyone serious about sound, the RCA outputs are a stopgap, not a fix.
Buy it for the look, the convenience and room-filling sound in a small space. If getting the best from your records matters most, a separate turntable and speakers will serve you better.
