1. Pyle Wall Mount Home Speaker
300W. Yes, that’s the wattage Pyle is promising with its speakers and that’s incredible considering the price. It has a built-in digital sound amplifier that allows it to output music at high volume levels outdoors. You get one active speaker that connects to the turntable and a passive one that can be daisy-chained to the active speaker. There’s a 5.25-inch subwoofer and a 0.5-inch tweeter onboard. Since it’s a wireless speaker, it connects to your turntable or just about any device via Bluetooth. Apart from that, you also get the option to use the 3.5mm jack or RCA connectors to plug in your devices. The speaker unit has bass, treble, and volume controls on the rear, making it easy to tune the sound to your liking. The only complaint from these speakers, as per the reviews, is that the bass is slightly lacking. However, they’re excellent for the price and are highly recommended for outdoor use.
2. Edifier R1280DB Bookshelf Speakers
Edifier is a premium brand that makes some great speakers that match the studio-quality sound. And this is exactly what they’re offering with the R1280DB as well. The speakers have a 4-inch bass and 13mm silk dome tweeters for enhanced sound quality. They can connect via Bluetooth to your turntable as well as other devices like a smartphone or PC. Apart from using Bluetooth, you can connect external devices via optical and coaxial inputs. So, if you have a TV, you can pair it up with that as well. You get 42W of output from the speakers and going by the reviews, the clarity of sound is excellent. The only drawback as mentioned by a few users is that at times, you may experience some static noise when playing audio via Bluetooth. This doesn’t happen every time, though, so it shouldn’t be a deal-breaker. Besides, Edifier also offers 2 years of warranty for both the internal components and the wood which is excellent.
3. Audioengine A2+
Alright, we’ve now moved to some serious audio products that pack in a whole lot of punch. While all speakers on this list have support for Bluetooth, this is the only one with support for Qualcomm’s aptX codec. As a result, you will get better audio quality when playing music via your vinyl player. The rated output is 60W, so your audio should be plenty loud for most rooms. Apart from Bluetooth, you get the option to connect these speakers via USB and dual-analog input if you wish to use them with your PC. The brand has worked on a custom 2.75-inch aramid fiber woofer and 0.75-inch silk dome tweeters. There’s a 16-bit DAC onboard so the audio quality is supreme. While the speaker looks and sounds great, most of the issues pointed out by the reviews are with the service or after-sales support. Users claim that even under warranty, the brand did not replace some faulty units which is something to be aware of since speakers are something we generally tend to use for a long duration.
4. Marshall Stanmore II
The Marshall Stanmore II screams premium as soon as you take a glance at it. It has a leather exterior with golden accents and buttons that look premium. The Marshall branding on the front further enhances the look of the speaker. Enough about looks though since the sound quality matters the most at the end of the day. In that department too, the Marshall Stanmore II excels. You get rich and clear sound even at high volume levels with little to no distortion. Marshall also gives you the option to connect a device via an AUX or RCA port if you don’t want to use Bluetooth. The top of the speaker has control knobs for bass, treble, and volume. Another advantage of this speaker is that it comes with Alexa built-in so you can use it as a smart speaker or a voice assistant. As per the reviews, there is just 1 main complaint that users have been facing with this speaker — poor Wi-Fi connectivity. You may face frequent disconnections when connected to a Wi-Fi router for the Alexa functionality. It’s also pricey, so as per some users, it may not be entirely worth its asking price purely based on the audio quality.
5. Bose S1 Pro
The Bose S1 Pro is the only speaker on this list that runs on a battery so you can carry it around with you or place it right next to your turntable for an immersive audio experience. You can get up to 11 hours of playtime on a single charge, which given the size of the speaker, is pretty low. Apart from Bluetooth, you also get the option to interface musical instruments like guitars and synthesizers along with an AUX port. All the reviews point to the fact that this is one of the best portable wireless speakers that you can buy. So, if you’re looking for wireless speakers for your turntable, you just cannot go wrong with these. Of course, you have to keep your budget in check too as this is an expensive product. If you’re willing to shell out a few extra hundred bucks for premium audio, go for it!
