JBL has only ever made two turntables: the Bluetooth-ready JBL Spinner BT and the subject of this very review, the more purist-minded TT350 Classic. Bluetooth speakers, wireless earbuds, over-ear headphones and party boxes – the US titan has many fingers in many pies, but the world of vinyl is new territory for the established audio brand.
Some manufacturers find the jump from one type of product to another to be seamless, while others take years to nail the transition. Aussie audio brand Røde had been a purveyor of microphones and production equipment before making its first ever pair of wired over-ears – the Award-winning NTH-100 – whereas multi-room masters Sonos found the transition to headphones a smidge trickier, as evidenced by its middling Sonos Ace wireless cans.
