FULL STORY
======================================================================A 
suitcase-style turntable with speakers and Zig-Zag branding USB in plus 
Bluetooth, RCA and headphone outs $99 (around 79 or AU$159, if you can find 
one) 

There's a long tradition of brands doing weird things for publicity, and for 
every Elon Musk stunt that makes you want to push every Tesla into a lake 
there's a brand that gets it right. And I think Zig-Zag is in the latter 
category, because it's come up with a rather inspired idea. 

If you're not familiar with Zig-Zag, it's a very famous brand of rolling 
papers  so famous that their product inspired the cover of Dr Dre's 1992 
album, The Chronic . And to remind you of that fact (and of course to ensure 
that you don't forget about Dre), the company has decided to make an  ahem  
smokin' record player just in time for the Grammys (Image credit: Zig-Zag) 
The Zig-Zag Record Player: key features 

The Zig-Zag Record Player is, as you'd expect, a record player with Zig-Zag 
branding. It's a suitcase design with the classic logo on top, and it has 
built-in stereo speakers so you can have music wherever you go. In addition 
to the turntable there's also a USB port so you can also play digital files 
without lugging all your vinyl around. 

It's a three-speed belt-driven turntable  ideal for all your, er, rap 78s  
and it has RCA outputs and a headphone jack too. There's Bluetooth streaming 
to headphones or powered speakers, and there's even a handle so you can carry 
it around. 

According to Chisto.com , "Nothing beats the sound of spinning a vinyl whilst 
youre chilling at dwelling. If youre restricted on house however maxing out 
on chill vibes (particularly throughout Dry January), then you definitely 
want this... Its the last word improve out of your standard transportable 
speaker that units the temper in any room with out the cumbersome setup of 
your typical document participant." Now, I don't know what many of those 
words mean, in that order, but I think they liked it 

The Zig-Zag Record Player is available now for $99, which is around 79 or 
AU$159, if you can find it. You might also like The best turntables you can
