Want to enjoy your vinyls without buying extra speakers? These record players all come with speakers (external or built-in) for added convenience.

While streaming easily remains the predominant format for buying music, vinyl is making a solid comeback. In fact, record sales are considerably outperforming digital download and CD sales.

Assorted vinyl players are currently surfacing in stores to tempt these new vinyl junkies. There are Bluetooth turntables, record players with built-in speakers, or, for the nostalgic, retro-style units. These vintage systems may even play other long-forgotten formats in addition to vinyl.

Let's take a look at the best record players with speakers currently available.

The Electrohome Kingston 7-in-1 has a striking vintage design with a real-wood finish. The three available colors—cherry, black, or walnut—are accentuated with bronze knobs and buttons. It's a classic-looking unit that will be your prized possession sitting among your vinyl collection.

Despite its old-fashioned exterior, it has all the desired modern features. In addition to its sturdy turntable that gives a full range of warm and natural sounds, it has a CD player and an AM/FM radio. You can also stream from your phone or tablet to the Bluetooth speakers.

Although the two 2-inch, 10-Watt, and two 3.5-inch, 30-Watt speakers are Bluetooth-input only, they are loud enough to fill any room in the house. But, if you really need to, you can rock that party harder by connecting to louder external speakers via the RCA output ports. Improving the sound quality even further is possible with the handy bass and treble graphic equalizer.

Another helpful highlight is the recording feature. You can convert your records to MP3s on the USB drive by simply hitting a button.

The Voksun 3-Speed Precision Turntable has a stylish and modern design that will complement any interior decor. At 15.5 pounds and convenient dimensions of 13 x 16 x 6 inches, it is easily transportable around the home for that house party or to the yard for that barbecue.

The turntable features high-quality 15-Watt external Bluetooth speakers that you can stream to from any device. For events that require more audio output, you can connect the turntable to external speakers via the RCA output. The sound quality is improved further with the long-lasting Audio Technica diamond-tipped styluses fitted with AT-3600 Moving-Magnet cartridges for better tracking.

You can resolve skating, skipping, and distortion with the adjustable counterweight on the tonearm. Finally, the auto-stop setting and the anti-shaking platter also ensure it is one of the best turntables out there for vinyl enthusiasts looking to protect their albums.

The Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player is an excellent budget option. Although it doesn't have a nostalgic or vintage design, it is a convenient and well-made machine that offers superb value for money.

It also sports many features offered by its pricier rivals. For example, the vinyl to MP3 recording is very convenient. It converts directly onto a flash drive or SD card without the need for any software. These recordings are of surprisingly good quality, too. Therefore, you will not feel compelled to overplay your favorite records, thus ensuring their longevity.

This feature also allows you to upload your albums to your phone and listen to them while on the go. It also has a cassette player for those who possess old tape collections that have been stored away for years.

You can connect an external CD player, phone, or tablet via the AUX port or stream to the Bluetooth-enabled speakers. Connection to external speakers is possible if you are not impressed by the average quality of the 2 x 3-Watt built-in ones. However, this needs to be done via the audio jack as there is no RCA output.

The Ion Audio Max will complement any interior decoration at home with its classy yet modern appearance. At 7.7 pounds, it is also pretty lightweight, making it easy to move from room to room or out into the yard.

You can achieve a good volume when outside sipping wine with your friends by easily connecting to external speakers via Bluetooth. However, the built-in 2 x 1-Watt stereo speakers are louder than expected and sufficient for listening while doing homework or relaxing anywhere indoors. They will also give that full-bodied snap, crackle, and pop that only vinyl can provide.

If the point comes when you want to preserve your preferred records, you can convert them to MP3s with easy-to-use software that is compatible with any PC or Mac. Another bonus is that it will record your album tracks individually, unlike some other vinyl players.

The Bluetooth speakers can also stream from your devices, or you can connect cassette or CD players as an alternative to playing vinyl.

Victrola has been around since the days of gramophones, so you can be sure that anything they make comes from generations of experience. The Victrola 8-in-1 has an antique-like look, recreating the 1920s with its authentic-wood design and eye-catching choice of colors. It comes in a range of stylish finishes, including black, white, espresso, mahogany, and oak, and the build is impressive and sturdy.

As well as a record player, it also features a CD player, a cassette player, an AM/FM radio, and Bluetooth for device streaming. The cassette player has all the functions, including rewind and pause; something its competitors often lack. Another unique feature is that, in addition to vinyl, it can convert cassettes and CDs to MP3 files.

The stereo speakers are good with balanced output for satisfying and rich tones. You can also boost the audio by connecting to external speakers with the RCA output. This increase ensures you can impress guests with your retro system at any house or dinner party you host.

At 22 pounds, the system is quite bulky and not easily transportable. However, the design and ability to play any format make it an excellent gift choice for anyone from vintage-loving teens to nostalgic grandparents.

Another style Victrola excels in is the suitcase-style popular in the 50s and 60s. The suitcase is available in as many as 33 designs and colors and weighs only 3 pounds, making it easily transportable. With this weight, it is possible to take this turntable on vacation with you. However, if you decide on this, ensure you take it as carry-on luggage and protect the tonearm with bubble wrap.

Although the bass is a little lacking, the speakers are loud enough for use at home in an average-sized room. If you feel the sound does need a little support, you can connect to external speakers with the RCA output. More conveniently, you can connect via Bluetooth as the record player has a Bluetooth output connection; many competitors only have an input connection for streaming to the speakers.

The record player has a simplistic design, with only three dials for volume, source, and power control. The tonearm also has a convenient cue lever to avoid those clumsy moments when dropping the needle onto the record, helping preserve your vinyl. However, the platter is somewhat flimsy and surprisingly doesn't have a mat for record protection. If purchasing this otherwise excellent turntable, consider buying a mat separately to ensure vinyl longevity.

The Popsky Vintage Turntable is another lightweight record player that you can transport easily. It has a simple and modern design that will look good in any room, and you can boost the already decent audio output with external speakers. This connection is by RCA output only and not by Bluetooth.

Your vinyl is safe from harm with the dust cover and rubber foot pads that absorb any unwanted vibrations. At the same time, the needle is secure thanks to the automatic switch-off enabled after a period of inactivity.

However, if you feel you need to protect your records further by simply not playing them, the Audacity software makes vinyl to MP3 recordings easy. On the downside, there is no slip pad, so it is best to purchase one separately.

While a turntable with external speakers undoubtedly has better audio quality, a record player with built-in speakers is, first and foremost, much easier to transport. Whether you want to move it from room to room, outside or away from home, it's much easier without cumbersome speakers.

Another reason why people prefer these record players is style. They have different looks and themes to appeal to fashion-conscious music lovers.

In any case, records players with speakers, whether internal or external, can hook up to additional and more powerful external speakers quite simply.

Much of the pleasure in playing music has disappeared. Going to the store and choosing albums is a past habit missed by many. Admiring the artwork on the sleeves, pulling the record out, and carefully dropping the needle onto the spinning record are rituals that bring comfort and joy. Hearing that initial crackle as the needle moves slowly to the music, then finally, enjoying the euphonic, warm, natural sounds gently caressing your inner ear.

It certainly sounds romantic, and some may say that it is finicky music lovers that have a vinyl preference. However, the whole process of listening to the album is much more pleasurable. You also listen to the entire album in the order it was intended instead of idly going through random MP3s.
