Sony launches new turntables after years, and they are wireless and affordable

Sony has announced the PS-LX3BT and PS-LX5BT, two new turntables that aim to bridge the gap between entry-level accessibility and audiophile performance. Both models prioritize wireless connectivity and intuitive operation while maintaining the analog warmth of vinyl listening.

Both turntables sport one-button full auto playback, Bluetooth connectivity supporting aptX, aptX-Adaptive, and Hi-Res Wireless Audio, alongside wired output options. Each features an aluminum platter, high-quality cartridge, three-level gain control, and transparent dust cover, with support for 33 and 45 RPM records in 7" and 12" formats.

The PS-LX3BT serves as an entry point for newcomers, equipped with a built-in phono equalizer and attached audio cable for immediate setup. The PS-LX5BT instead targets dedicated listeners seeking refined performance, thanks to a rigid one-piece body, aluminum tonearm, rubber mat, and circuit design engineered to minimize vibration. Its high-grade cartridge delivers expanded soundstage, while gold-plated audio connections support premium wired setups.

Both models will be available from February 2026.
