Crosley offers a bundle that comes with three needles and a cleaning kit that's a much better deal.

3.0 out of 5 stars An Inexpert Review, November 16, 2009

Facts: Relatively new to the vinyl scene.
Have never purchased a new needle prior to this one.
Competent enough to be able to read about vinyl and/or needles and learn about them.

With that out of the way, this needle works. Easy to install and no problems with destruction during delivery. However, at points within the first 20% of every record I play under this needle, the record skips. Perhaps my records are dusty or scratched. Or I simply need to break my new needle in. All I know is that it's annoying and the original did not have this problem. The other 80% of the record is fine.

If Crosley needles are not proprietary I would be happy if someone would let me know, until then, here's to hoping this problem fixes itself.

This "needle" is barely passable as an audio stylus. Get the real one. This thing is a tiny little nub of steel (maybe) on the end of cheap, hair-thin rubbery plastic. It is complete crap. I fitted it to my turntable arm, and the stupid "needle" wasn't even tall enough to keep the arm from scraping on the record. Worthless. Get the more expensive one.
