Title: Don't buy this.
Product review: To anyone thinking of buying this as a gift for a teenager/young adult- DO NOT BUY. Myself an three of my friends have receive this as a gift, and it is not a good one. Unless you plug it in via the headphone jack to a good stereo or computer speakers, the sound for the record player is awful. No bass, tinny sound. The turntable is automatic, meaning it picks up at the "end" of a record and brings the stylus back "home", but it picks it up before all of my 7" (45) records are done playing. It has a cheap needle that literally skips around the record- it leaves little marks on the vinyl and makes listening to records a chore and unenjoyable.This might be okay for someone who just wants to take a trip down memory lane with some of their old vinyl, but it is not a good purchase for someone who wants to listen to new records which have good sound quality.Thanks for nothing, Emerson.
