Explore the exceptional features and performance of the Pro-Ject T1 Evo BT turntable with Bluetooth connectivity, perfect for vinyl enthusiasts!

Introduction to Pro-Ject T1 Evo BT

Vinyl turntables with Bluetooth capabilities are becoming increasingly popular, and it's easy to see why. The blend of analog vinyl playback with modern wireless streaming makes perfect sense, especially as many young listeners are diving into the vinyl revival, likely using Bluetooth speakers or wireless headphones for convenience.

While Bluetooth turntables often prioritize convenience over performance, every so often, a model impresses with its balance of features for the money. Enter the new Pro-Ject T1 Evo BT.

This model has made it to our list of the best Bluetooth turntables we've reviewed and highly recommend, impressing us with its user-friendliness, feature set, and clean sound at a relatively accessible price point.

This means it has knocked the Audio Technica AT-LPW50BTRW from its previous top spot in the "best mid-range turntable" category. The Audio Technica is a beautiful model with rich sound, having received four stars in our review last year. In contrast, the Pro-Ject takes it up a notch, earning a full five stars for overall quality at this price point.

Pro-Ject T1 Evo BT: Features

The newer Pro-Ject model is a fantastic purchase. It not only includes a comprehensive feature set—offering both line and phono outputs thanks to its built-in phono preamp—but it’s also an incredibly user-friendly turntable.

Setting it up is straightforward, and you’ll have the turntable ready to spin records in no time—just ensure the weight of the included cartridge matches the factory settings.

From our experience, pairing via Bluetooth is relatively easy compared to the Audio-Technica model. Simply switch off all other devices, press the Bluetooth pairing buttons on the deck and your wireless speaker/headphones, and you’re good to go! It really is that simple.

We always recommend connecting a Bluetooth turntable to quality wireless headphones or Bluetooth speakers to maximize your vinyl listening experience. The Pro-Ject pairs well with various devices, from the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones to the Ruark MR1 Mk2 desktop speakers.

The Pro-Ject T1 Evo BT effortlessly handles music, making listening a real pleasure. Its smooth and effortless delivery is achieved with a lack of overt rhythmic attack, but it has a mature balance that emphasizes sophistication.

Vocals and instruments sound rich and authentic, with enough dynamic contrast and brightness when the music calls for it, all while maintaining a sense of spaciousness.

This music is easy on the ears, yet it still delights with refined details and a smooth, harmonious sound.

To summarize our review: “The Pro-Ject T1 Evo BT is an excellent example of what a turntable of this kind can be at this price point.”

Five stars? Absolutely.
