Did you know vinyl records outsold CDs in the last few years? It has been growing for nearly two decades, but we’ve seen a surge in the last few years, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In the United States in 2023 and 2024, the resurging popularity of vinyl records has made them more popular than CDs. With that, we’ve seen companies modernize and bring back the turntable.
Sony has added two turntables to its lineup: the PS-LX3BT and the PS-LX5BT. Both models are wireless, making it easy to connect to existing systems or use them directly by pairing your phone. The PS-LX3BT is the entry-level turntable. It’s for someone who wants to simply pair and play their vinyl records. It complements any home aesthetic.
If you want to take it up a notch, the PS-LX5BT turntable elevates the experience. It features a minimalist design that helps it blend into your space. Meant to elevate and enhance audio performance, the LX5BT is designed to suppress the vibration, preserving the pure audio. It also has a gold-plated audio jack for a high-grade wired connection.

The PS-LX3BT will be available for pre-sale starting today, priced at $399.99 USD / $399.99 CAD at Sony.com, Best Buy, Amazon, and other authorized dealers.
