Ikarao Smart Karaoke Machine for Adults - with Lyrics Display, 32GB Karaoke Tablet, 2 Wireless Mics, Professional Karaoke System, 300W Peak Power, 4 DJ Lights, Karaoke Speaker for Any Occasion

My daughter won the IKARAO Break X1 speaker/karaoke machine at KWC for National Finals last year and truly loved it. Then she bought a compact version Shell S2 which proved to be such an asset!.As I sing professionally as well, I decided to try out the Break X2 which is a somewhat compact professional version. I have to say I am very impressed. The sound quality is excellent. The full-on karaoke system with lyrics displayed is awesome. The touch screen is easy to see and very good quality with Karafun, YouTube, and more. I love how portable it is and that I can literally fold it closed and walk around anywhere with it in-hand playing music while I sing. Or I can place it on my tripod stand. It comes with 2 wireless self charging mics, with several mic effects. It is just what I was looking for with professional sound, hook ups and all. This works for parties big and small.It connects to a big screen easily. I can take this anywhere to do shows, parties, and even weddings. I am very satisfied with my purchase of the Break X2. I recommend this for any singer or DJ who is tired of lugging around all that heavy PA equipment.

I bought this based on other reviews and pricing. My wife and I wanted to add more entertainment to our lounge and felt this would be a good solution. We weren't wrong. This machine is plenty loud, and with the KaraFun subscription, you get a TON of songs to choose from. The wireless mics are super easy to set up, sound great, and have really good range. The sound from the machine is nice and the ability to connect it to the TV via HDMI really makes this a great machine for the lounge. Audio still comes from the machine, but being able to see the lyrics on the TV is a huge plus. Additionally, with the KaraFun app, participants can scan the QR code and queue songs from their phones, making the need to mess with the machine after set up unnecessary. Of course, the machine is small enough to be mobile, so if you wanted to take it with you to a party, you can do that as well. Overall, this is an excellent machine that was worth the cost.

The outsized sound is booming and crisp. It has the versatility to go anywhere and play on anything, including my home TV and speakers, and the battery lasts forever.The performer can face the audience using the portable screen while friends can watch the performance and the lyrics on the TV.The controls are intuitive and it is easy to get started out of the box, and I keep finding nice features I never thought of. I love the design, like how the microphones pop in and disappear and are always charged. Excellent, thoughtful design all around and top-shelf quality.It can do anything: It is a modified Android with a simple Karaoke interface featuring large, simple app selections, but there are plenty of options if you want to get nerdy.Our favorite app is KaraFun, which has a 6 month subscription included and better subscription options if you subscribe on the device (totally worth it!). The app displays a small QR code so people can pull out their camera, scan, and a browser pulls up a web app on their phones so everyone can easily add songs to the playlist. It’s dummy and alcohol proof! There is even a cool voice match that checks your range and matches your voice to compatible songs that works perfectly.It also has a browser, so it’s also a great portable TV and much more.I tried the Costco machines and was tempted to get a cheaper, higher rated machine but they are no match for the value. I am very happy I paid a little extra for far better quality and an easier, more immersive experience.I have been trying to figure out why there are so many cheap items with higher reviews. The only explanation I can think of is that reviewers of budget alternatives don’t know what they’re missing. They are not even close to the sound, quality, or design of the X1.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love karaoke. Believe me when I say I try every style of karaoke system I can get my hands on. I had specific criteria searching for this system. It needed to be a self-contained, battery powered system with wireless microphones, built in monitor, and great sound. It needed on-board and customizable microphone effects. It needed to have input connectivity including external drives, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and wired microphones or external audio sources like a laptop or tablet. It needed to have a great catalog of available karaoke tracks. It needed to be able to send audio to an external audio system and send video to an external TV or Monitor(if the built-in screen weren't big enough). This system ticks every one of those boxes. The built-in tablet runs a variety of apps including Karafun, and YouTube. By registering and logging into these apps, a huge selection of karaoke tracks become available. Within Karafun, you have quite a bit of control including changing the key +/-, setting the volume of the backing and lead singers, and setting the size of the lyrics panel. Search or browse tens of thousands of available songs, create custom tracks yourself, play music trivia games, etc. You can even get a prioritized, custom list of songs that match your vocal range.Overall, this system knocks it out of the park. Things that could be improved: there is a slight delay between singing and having your voice come out of the speakers. It's slight, but to me it was noticeable. Another point is keeping a charge. I charged the system fully, used it while plugged in, shut it down. A day later, I decided I should unplug it to avoid overcharging. A couple of weeks later, I found that the batteries in the system and microphones were drained. That was unexpected. Last item for consideration is that there doesn't seem to be a way to sing karaoke with tracks that you own on a hard drive. It's possible to play the music, but not play the entire CD+G, Zip, or MP4 karaoke track. Perhaps there is a workaround, but I haven't found it.But, this is a powerful sounding, all-in-one, battery powered karaoke system that ticks all the boxes. It's easy, intuitive and very fun. Of all the systems I've tried, this is the best yet!
