Our Thoughts on the Ion Audio Air LP


Make sure that you read this quick review from start to finish if you are thinking about owning the Ion Audio Air LP. That’s because we will talk about some of the most important things you need to know about the turntable, including its most noteworthy features and what consumers are saying about it.

Key Features

The sleek body of the Ion Audio Air LP features just a platter, tonearm, and a few buttons and switches. Needless to say, it’s not meant for DJing purposes. However, it’s worthy of taking center stage in your entertainment hub at home not only because it looks classy and cool, but also packs the following key features:

  • Record digitization. Just because you love records doesn’t mean that you always prefer listening to your favorite songs using a turntable. The good news is that the Ion Audio Air LP can be connected to your PC or Mac to have your records converted into digital audio files! The manufacturer has included the Ion Audio EZ software to facilitate digitization of your record collection.
  • Bluetooth connectivity. Do you want to keep your home clutter-free? Then you will love the fact that the Ion Audio Air LP has Bluetooth functionality. This means that you can use the turntable together with Bluetooth speakers. You can connect the turntable to Bluetooth speakers for up to a 10-meter range.
  • Hinged dust cover. We can’t help but notice that the Ion Audio Air LP is one of the most attractive turntables in the current market, courtesy of its curves and piano black finish. To keep its gloss intact, it comes with a dust cover that’s hinged to the unit so that you may engage and disengage it trouble-free.

What We Like

The Ion Audio Air LP can impress with its appearance and performance. Here are just some of the top reasons why the turntable has won our hearts without any delay:

  • Elegant appearance. There’s nothing bad about the looks of the Ion Audio Air LP. The architecture is streamlined and the surface is glossy. The unit is obviously for consumers who don’t like fuss as it has a clutter-free interface. Just make sure that you use the Ion Audio Air LP with clean hands to keep it from collecting fingerprints!
  • Three-speed playback. It’s clear that the Ion Audio Air LP is made by its manufacturer with avid record collectors and staunch record listeners in mind. That’s because it’s capable of playing back 33 1/3, 45 and 78 RPM speeds. However, it’s important to note that the 78 RPM stylus is not included with the purchase, but that’s okay as it can be easy to obtain anyway.
  • Wireless feature. We can’t stop raving about the ability of the Ion Audio Air LP to play music using our favorite Bluetooth speakers. Not only is this gorgeous turntable future-proof, but it can also keep living rooms and bedrooms free of dangling cables that we could trip on.

Who is This Product Best Suited To

One look and it’s easy to tell that the Ion Audio Air LP is ideal for music listeners who would like to keep their home entertainment hubs looking neat. That’s because it is compatible with Bluetooth speakers. Since it also boasts of sleek curves and finish, the unit can go very well with just about any interior design or motif.

We recommend the Ion Audio Air LP for those who would like to easily digitize their record collection. Via USB, you can turn your records into MP3, M4A, MP4, WAV, FLAC and other formatting of your liking. And by the way, it doesn’t matter if you are a PC or Mac user — the included Ion Audio EZ software is compatible with both OS.

What Customers are Saying

Those who purchased the Ion Audio Air LP are completely happy with the way the turntable looks. They’re also glad that it has a dust cover that’s hinged to the body, thus making it trouble-free to maintain the unit’s glossy appeal. However, some consumers note that it seems like the Ion Audio Air LP is taking a while to connect to their Bluetooth speakers. As a matter of fact, the user’s manual itself says that it may take up to 5 minutes for a connection to be established!
