See at Amazon See at Best Buy See at Sony Store

Music streaming might be convenient, but it lacks the quality of physical media. You can find out for yourself just how good vinyl can sound in the modern era with this Black Friday deal on the Sony PS-LX310BT turntable, which is just $200 (normally $450) at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Sony store. This belt-driven turntable was introduced several years ago, and it blends classic audio technology with a few high-tech features, like Bluetooth connectivity. It’s a great, user-friendly turntable choice, especially while it’s nearly 60% off right now.

Sony PS-LX310BT Turntable

$200 (was $450)

Designed to be a plug-and-play turntable, the PS-LX310BT is a user-friendly option for anyone looking to purchase their first device in this category. It has a fully automatic design and setting up the drive belt can easily be done in a few minutes.

While the body is mostly plastic, the Sony turntable does have an aluminum die-cast platter and pipe tonearm. The included RCA cables let you plug it directly into a stereo system, but for wireless listening, you can connect Bluetooth-enabled devices like speakers and headphones.

Other features include two speeds–33 1/3 rpm and 45 rpm–a built-in switchable phono/line-out phono preamp, three gain settings, a vibration-dampening slip mat, and a removable dust cover.

Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones

$248 (was $400)

Since you can connect a wireless headset to the turntable, we’d recommend grabbing one of Sony’s popular noise-canceling headphones to go with this. Normally $400, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are on sale for $248, and they come in four distinct colors. The big draw is the noise-canceling features, which use what Sony calls “Auto NC Optimizer” to automatically adjust the function based on your environment.

The headphones also feature a lightweight design with soft leather, a battery life of up to 30 hours, and a selection of touch-control settings for media playback and communication.

We’ve also included several Bluetooth speakers below from Bose, Sony, and JBL that are on sale for Black Friday. While a stereo system is preferred for turntables, you can still get a high-quality audio experience from these devices, and their wireless nature helps reduce cable management. The other benefit is that this also makes it easier to transport your turntable to a function or a party, and there is a wide variety of speakers to choose from. JBL has pocket-friendly devices like the JBL Go, while Sony’s range includes multi-function speakers with a similar design aesthetic to the turntable. Check out these and other audio gear deals in the list below. And once you’ve browsed those, head over to GameSpot’s Black Friday Deals Hub for more of the latest discounts.
