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), 800W Bluetooth Speaker for Party, TV

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!

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.

So we wanted to upgrade the karaoke machine that we have had for a few years now. It was a pretty inexpensive machine that didn’t do a whole lot. So we saw this on sale and figured we would try it out. We found another that was a little cheaper and figured we’d get both and pick the better of the two. This system arrived first and all I can say is holy crap. This could easily be set up to use as a professional karaoke system if you wanted a second income. The sound is crisp and clear with plenty of bass. Doesn’t in any way sound “tinny” or cheap like most others might. This is the 600w version by the way. The fact that you can use your mobile device to browse the tens of thousands of songs while someone else is singing is great. You can just set up a playlist and just keep going. It’s also really nice that everyone can change the pitch or the tempo themselves if they want. The last thing is the music selection. First off for most every song I’ve heard so far has been a pretty high quality recording. Not like some karaoke versions you get that sound like they were done on a cheap keyboard/midi system. Also I don’t think I’ve found a song yet that hasn’t been available. Even some fairly obscure songs.Anyway, while this isn’t cheap it’s worth the investment if you like to have a family song night or again would like to host your own karaoke night somewhere.

X1Easy set up, great sound and a lot of fun. If you’re throwing an event, this costs about the same or less than hiring a dj.
