Ikarao 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

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.

I still have the Pioneer CLD-V720 Karaoke machine I bought for about $1K setup in my home and will likely keep it. With that said, I have been waiting to buy a Karaoke machine in this century! :) If you been into Karaoke, Pioneer is the best when it all started, mics, sound and a huge library of music video to choose from. Without a doubt, the Ikarao Beat X1 is the best in the market IMHO currently! It doesn’t have the nice videos like Pioneer Karaoke, but everything is better ie. mics, easy setup, custom sound setup for the mics, portable, inputs for wired mics or plug in your guitar, sound quality, Bluetooth, battery operated and ability to Karaoke offline. Two of my adult kids play the electric guitar, I can't wait for them to plug in and play while karaoking. The price point currently at $550 from $700 retail, it is the best value model for your money! I'm really impressed with this machine, I am not easily impressed by other Karaoke machines since I have the best Pioneer Karaoke machine that my family still use. This one is a solid, well engineered machine. I even bought the travel case, mic and Karaoke stand at Ikarao.com because I expect to use at family events outside wherever we party! Is it prefect, obviously not but for the $550.00 not a bad machine for money!

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!

I actually did a lot of research for choosing this one. I really think this machine offers the best quality that you can get for the money. It is right on the edge of a really good Home machine and a professional one. I actually considered starting a Karaoke small business using this machine! I had a really cheap one before and I decided to treat myself and upgrade when I was asked by a friend to host a fun karaoke party at her house for our mutual friends. The party was a big success, the machine was easy to use and had great sound. I highly recommend it!.

TLDR; great product. If any issue, contact Ikarao support (on messenger) preferably during week-day. Since they built this stuff, they know their stuff. Amazon support is like semi-meh (unless you came across the support person who have the same item and had the exact issue like yours). Bought this karaoke machine for my parent who is not so great at operating a complex system. After looking through several machine, I settled on this one. The least expensive one looks too cheap and the most expensive one looks too complex. Ikarao Break X1 is a bit pricier than other machines but operation looked simple enough. When I noticed that this is shipped and sold by Amazon (not shipped by Amazon and sold by Ikarao), I was like - say no more! Since Amazon itself is stocking and selling this, it must be good. Unfortunately, I ran into mics issue when I first powered on the machine. The two mics that came with the machine were able to connect fine (as per the mic setting displayed on the screen). The mics' power button worked (I was able to cycle through Break X1 mic menu via wireless mic's power button), the mics' volume button worked. Both mics volume were at max. However, no voice came through the speaker, no matter how much I screamed into the mics. Thinking it was an issue with the wireless mics, I tested with the wired mics that I have on hand - no luck. The system was able to recognize wired mic but no voice came through the speaker. The speaker was able to play music fine - just no live voice through the mics. I was panicking at this point. This machine weighs 32lb. Returning and exchanging it was going to be a big hassle. I reached out to Ikarao to get help, but unfortunately, this was all happening on Saturday. It was totally reasonable that they were not responding on the weekend. I needed to get this to work fast, so I tried my luck with Amazon support. After going through several Amazon supports, my patience was running thin. They were giving me options of return, exchange, partial refunds for mics replacement, etc. These weren't the solutions that I was looking for. FORTUNATELY, the last Amazon support I spoke to actually had a similar machine, and she had the same issue as mine. She told me about the steps that could potentially solve my issue - connecting the Break X1 Bluetooth with my phone, turning on the wireless mics, and then BAM!! everything started working, including the wired mics. It was such an unpleasant ordeal. Break X1 is a solid machine when everything is in working order. So far, so good for now. The sound coming from the speaker is great. Bass boost is awesome. Being able to play audio/video files from USB drive is a plus. Operation is simple and user friendly. My family loves it! Ikarao's support team eventually responded to my plea on the following Sunday evening, offering assistance via Messenger & WhatsApp. While I couldn't replicate the issue when they reached out, their commitment to standing behind their products was evident. They followed up a few days later, to make sure that my machine was working well. I would give full 5 stars if the machine worked right out the box.

We've had this Karaoke machine for 4 months now. I can say that I have no regrets about buying this unit. It performs very well. We've had no issues with it what-so-ever. Keeping in mind that it is not a professional unit, the sound quality is very good. I like the fact that I can run an HDMI cable to the TV and see the lyrics up on the screen, but the music library and other info is only displayed on the unit itself. So while my wife is singing I can be searching for music and adding songs to the queue list. It was simple to set up, and enjoyable for anyone who likes to sing. Comes with a free 6 month subscription to Karafun which is a real bonus. Karafun seems to have a good selection of music and their quality of karaoke songs seems to be good as well. The unit is good sized and appears very well made.

Great quality sound. Versatile and easy to use! All in one design with multiple interfaces to other audio or TV etc. We love it.

I really wanted to love this karaoke machine. It’s almost perfect but the drawbacks are annoying. From various sources, this is as good as it gets unless you build one yourself. Pros - sound quality of speakers is top notch. - great packaging and quality build - complete set of functionalities (WiFi, Bluetooth, YouTube, Smule, Karafun, tablet, etc.) - easy to use Cons - poor quality microphone. Cuts in and out if you don’t hold it next to your mouth. Ok if you like a microphone like this. On high volume you need a foam shield. It should of come with it. - Bluetooth latency on microphone is very annoying. Sometimes too much signals around causes microphone to act up and you have to reset the whole device. - tablet is slower than desirable, and screen is text is small. Apple Music didn’t go full screen. Overall, I have very mix feeling about this machine. At the price point, I wish they had better microphone and tablet performance. It’s almost perfect. I like the overall machine and I hate the microphone. I can live with the slow tablet because I connect Bluetooth and use Apple Music with singing mode.
