Record players make great gifts for almost any person for the holidays. Really, what person does not appreciate the gift of music? Still, the number of options you have for record players can make it hard to decide which one you should get. Luckily, I made this list of the best record players you can get this holiday season, and remember to keep in mind the amount of space they can take up, and if you have the room
The first option on this list may be the best option for a seasoned record collector, or someone who may have vinyl records just lying everywhere. The Studebaker 3-speed stereo turntable with Bluetooth receiver and record storage compartment is the best option for playing and storing your music. The storage compartment can fit dozens of vinyl records comfortably, and the player itself does not require any external speakers because it has speakers built-in. It is on the larger side, so make sure you actually have room before you make the purchase.

Our next option is our first Amazon entry, but should not be taken lightly. This PC Encoding Record Player has not only the ability to play vinyl records but also encode them on your computer. This piece is really good with vinyl collectors who have shifted with the times, and if they have any rarer pieces, they will love that they can play it on their computer. Not to mention the quality playback, and recording abilities of this bad boy. The only issue is that you will need some sort of external speakers, but still that isn’t even that bad.

The Victrola Modern 3-Speed Bluetooth Turntable with 50 Watt Speakers with Pink Piano Finish is the pink record player for the girly girl who loves collecting records. This record player features a modern, simple design and even comes with speakers. The easy setup and Bluetooth connectivity give this piece everything it needs to be a worthy option. Still, the biggest hang-up is the pink color, which is not for everyone. Luckily, they have multiple other colors that are constantly going in and out of stock.

The Sylvania PC Encoding Turntable is another PC encoding turntable, but this one takes up less space. This small device will both play vinyl records and record them onto a computer with ease. The size of the device, and how easy it is to set up make this the perfect gift for anyone who might not have all the room for a permanent record player in their set-up. Remember though, the record itself will still take a good amount of room, and they will need a flat smooth area to play the records at.

Our most expensive entry is the most customizable option on this list. An Orbit Custom record player allows you to personalize your record player just how you would like it as long as you are willing to shell out the cash. The base model goes for $269, but each customization will change the price. This one may sway you away from it due to price, but this is really a quality record player that you are getting what you paid for. They also show you what your record player will look like, which is pretty nice of them.

Our final Amazon entry is one of the cheapest, most standard records players you can get. This record player does not even have an official brand name, that is how general it is. Has all of the same things like the record players above. Built-in speakers, easy set-up, and Bluetooth connectivity all wrapped up in a briefcase like contraption. Honestly, this is the best option if you have no idea about record players. This one comes with all the fixings and is easily the best price on this entire list.

The Victrola Bluetooth Record Player is the best looking record player on this entire list. Instead of being meant to be set on a table, this table grew legs and is its own table. This record player is great for die-hard vinyl collectors, who will appreciate this professional-looking player with built-in speakers. This record player will show anybody that when it comes to your records, you mean business.

The final option on our list is the best option for someone with a tie-dye aesthetic. Another Victrola Bluetooth record player, except this time it features a tie-dye coloring all around the briefcase of the record player. This option is the all-out cheapest record player on this list, but it only is featured in this tie-dye colorway. Make sure that person will commit to having this hard on the eye record player in their room before you buy it.

Here is an issue you might face, that person that is getting a turntable does not have many (or any) vinyl records, so of course now you need to get them something to play. The best places to find vinyl records in my opinion are online. Amazon is the first place I would check, but then I would check out Amoeba Music. They sell tons of records, including amoeba exclusives only sold through them. If you are having trouble finding a very specific album, I would check Discogs. Discogs is a music collection tracking website that allows users to buy and sell their records. Also, check if there are any local record shops in your city because supporting small businesses is cool.
