Record Store Day 2025 just wrapped up, and if you scored some killer vinyl, you might be wondering how to take your new albums on the road. Well, road-trippers and vinyl lovers, Toshiba’s Aurex AX-RP10 is here to save the day. This compact Bluetooth turntable lets you show off your Record Store Day haul wherever you go. Whether you’re cruising down the Florida Turnpike or trying to sneak it through Spirit Airlines’ bag check (good luck with that) at FLL, this portable turntable has you covered.
The turntable features a durable and lightweight design, perfect for travel and portability. The built-in rechargeable battery provides hours of playback, making sure your vinyl is there for the ride on long road trips or flights. And honestly, it might even save your sanity when two of your fellow Spirit Airlines passengers decide to start a Waffle House-style brawl while waiting for the flight to board.
Yes, yes, yes we do…we’ve got the Toshiba Aurex AX-RP10 on the flight how about you?
The Aurex AX-RP10 is a belt-driven turntable with a Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge, spinning both 33 1/3 and 45 RPM records. With a 2,000mAh battery, you’ll get up to 10 hours of playtime—plenty of time to annoy everyone around you with your vinyl obsession while you’re on the move. No built-in speakers, though, so you’ll need to plug in your headphones or connect it to a sound system via the 3.5mm input. Charging is through its USB Type-C connector.
Or, as advertised, you can pair it with Bluetooth speakers or headphones, because who doesn’t love Bluetooth range that cuts out just when you’re getting into your favorite track? Audiophiles, take a seat: the SBC codec means no hi-res playback. But hey, if you’re just looking for a fun, portable turntable for casual listening, this one’s got you covered—just don’t expect it to win any audiophile awards, or your neighbors’ approval.
Very similar to Audio-Technica’s famous Sound Burger ($200), the Toshiba Aurex AX-RP10 offers a sleek portable option for vinyl lovers. But, if you’re looking for other options to take your tunes on the go, you’ve also got the Crosley Cruiser ($90), a classic suitcase-style player, or the Victrola 3-Speed Bluetooth Turntable ($70), which has Bluetooth capabilities and a retro flair. None of them are exactly audiophile-grade, but they sure get the job done if you’re more about the vibe than the precision.
It measures just 11 x 6 x 3 inches and weighs 2.6 pounds, so it’s basically the size of your average Gatsby sandwich—but with a shoulder bag included, because who doesn’t want to look like they’re on their way to a very cool, very portable vinyl party?
The Bottom Line
The Toshiba Aurex AX-RP10 is a fun, portable way to enjoy your vinyl on the go—perfect for casual listeners and road-trippers who don’t want to leave their records behind. While it’s not going to win any audiophile awards, it’s a more convenient option for portable listening that doesn’t require a suitcase of gear.
Plus, the Bluetooth pairing and battery life make it ideal for long flights or impromptu dance parties at your favorite terminal. Just don’t expect it to outshine your home setup—this one’s all about convenience, not high-res sound.
No word on pricing or U.S. availability.

Nicely played on Spirit and Waffle House.
Do not understand why anyone would buy this. Those cheap tables and carts ruin your records.
The Bluetooth angle is interesting.

Never miss an opportunity to mention Waffle House and Spirit in any article. The fights on YouTube are a good waste of time waiting for a flight…on Spirit.
The Audio-Technica version was actually pretty good. This doesn’t feel as premium — and I think that’s an Audio-Technica cartridge. I value my records far too much to ruin them on something this plastic.
I do like the record ledge. Did you notice that? You prop it up while listening. Kinda neat.
