Karaoke Machine for Adults, with Lyrics Display Built-in 13.3" Screen, Truly All in One Karaoke Machine with 2 Wireless Microphone (Hidden & Self Charging), 460W Bluetooth Speaker for Party, TV

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!

First (and most importantly) the sound is fantastic. The bass sounds good both with the bass boost on and off. Had a chance to test it outdoors while doing a little work on my car yesterday (a bit too cold here to be at a beach or park right now) and it sounded great and was easily loud enough to overcome the sounds of the engine and a tire inflator even tho I had it 10-12 feet away from the back of the car (so another 14-15 feet to the front of the car).The speaker itself feels very solidly constructed and looks quite nice. I like the cutout handles on each end as well as the shoulder strap. The strap itself is not padded, but the attachment is quite nice, and the unit isn't really heavy enough that a padded strap is needed. There is also a standard 35mm (1-3/8") speaker stand mounting hole (like you'd find in most PA speakers) in case you wanted to elevate it on a stand. When the tablet is closed, the design is very clean with only the controls that matter for listening to music shown (buttons for power, bass boost, input, and bluetooth, with rollers to adjust volume and lighting).The built-in 13.3" tablet is a pretty basic and runs a version of Android 13, but is quite functional as the tilt/swivel mount allows it to be positioned easily, and it is nice that it can flip and fold down over the top of the unit for transport or when just using it as a bluetooth speaker. There are a few apps and shortcuts pre-installed on the tablet, including a media player for local files, Spotify, YouTube, a couple of karaoke apps, and a few other things. (No Netflix pre-installed on my unit, but you can easily download/install from an appstore if you wanted to.)The microphones are conveniently rechargeable and fit nicely into their storage/charging ports under the folded down tablet (instead of sticking out or attaching to the side as on most other portable karaoke machines). The microphones are mostly plastic and fairly light, but they sound good and don't have too much handling noise. The microphone charging ports and controls for the microphone modes are the only things found beneath the tablet. It is nice that there are knobs for manually selecting the amount of reverb and to adjust bass and treble, as well as a button to turn on "ducking" (which is useful when using the unit as a PA system for music and announcements)If you need more than 2 microphones, there are two 1/4 inch microphone (or guitar) inputs under a rubber cover in the back. They worked fine with either a 1/4" wireless microphone receiver (mine supports 2 wireless microphones, so that would allow 4 singers) or a standard microphone with an xlr-1/4" cable. Other ports beneath this cover include one HDMI, one USB-A, a microSD card slot, an 1/8" stereo input, and an 1/8" headphone output. The media player can play audio and video files from both the USB and the microSD (as well as from internal storage). The smaller rubber cover just contains the ac power connection -- which is conveniently just a standard "figure-8" power cord. I am also very pleased with the runtime on the built-in battery. After using it as a bluetooth speaker outside for a couple hours (while working on my car), I figured I'd see how good the battery life was, so kept playing music (via bluetooth) while making and eating lunch, then tested/played with the various features and settings and installing software for a couple more hours, then did a bit of karaoke and mic testing, streamed music directly off the tablet while making and eating dinner, connected the unit to a 4K tv and then decided to test playback of music and videos from microSD and USB storage, and ended up watching a movie that was on the USB flash drive (totally legit copy of the movie, since the digital copy was a dono reward from my friend's kickstarter for the movie). All in all it was probably about 10hrs of actual runtime (within 11.5-12hrs of actual time) running completely on battery before the 20% remaining low battery warning popped upOverall, I think the Ikarao has done a great job of choosing the features and design of the Break X1, and this unit would be an excellent choice for anyone needing a portable party speaker as well as someone looking for an all-in-one karaoke system (or even a small battery-powered PA system). Even if I were being super picky, the only thing I could really nitpick is that the knobs for the manual mic adjustment (reverb, treble, bass) are "backwards" (turn to the left to increase, right to decrease). Also, I wish they could've used combo XLR+1/4" jacks for the microphone/guitar inputs -- mainly cuz I have plenty of XLR microphone cables, but only a couple of XLR-1/4" cables, so it took awhile to locate them when I was testing -- not sure there's room in the current location for combo jacks tho (maybe just 1 combo jack could fit?). Reality is this is probably a fairly niche feature for most people tho since most will just use the included wireless mics and most of the few that would add a mic could use a mic with a 1/4 plug.tl;dr: if you're thinking about it, just go ahead and get it -- two thumbs up!

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.
