Crosley has long been known for its approachable, budget-friendly record players, making vinyl accessible to a wider audience. Now, the brand is stepping into more refined territory with the Crosley C65 Record Player With Speakers, a thoughtfully designed package that blends nostalgic aesthetics with modern functionality. Aimed at listeners who want to elevate their vinyl setup without venturing into the world of pricey audiophile gear, the C65 strikes a balance between style, sound, and affordability.
At the heart of the all-in-one system is the belt-driven C65 turntable, equipped with a pre-mounted Audio-Technica ATN3600L cartridge – a reliable choice for clear, balanced playback right out of the box. The build embraces a vintage-inspired look, featuring a wood-clad body with a brushed silver front panel. On the faceplate, tactile knobs allow you to adjust power, volume, pitch, and speed. The turntable supports both 33 1/3 and 45 RPM records, ensuring compatibility with most vinyl collections.
Unlike Crosley’s smaller all-in-one units, the C65 is paired with a dedicated set of matching bookshelf speakers. These speakers share the same mid-century modern design language, helping the setup feel cohesive in a living room or office. And while they’re perfectly fine for casual listening, Crosley designed the system with flexibility in mind: users can upgrade to higher-end speakers down the road without replacing the turntable itself.
Despite its retro styling, the C65 isn’t stuck in the past. It comes with Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, allowing you to stream music wirelessly from your phone, tablet, or laptop directly to the included speakers. This dual functionality makes it just as useful for spinning vinyl on weekends as it is for streaming playlists on a weeknight.
The Crosley C65 package retails for $299, positioning it as a step up from the brand’s entry-level models but still far below the cost of high-end component systems. For newcomers to vinyl who want a system with room to grow – or for casual collectors looking for an attractive, versatile setup – the C65 offers excellent value.
Crosley is also launching the Miles Record Player, a more compact and affordable option for those just starting their vinyl journey. Priced at $99, the Miles is an all-in-one unit with built-in speakers, support for 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records, and Bluetooth connectivity. While not as upgradeable as the C65, it’s an easy entry point for anyone curious about the vinyl experience.
