Product Information

Need to know Rechargeable battery (4 hours of battery life), audio effects include echo, EQ presets, LED light display, included accesories: 1x USB charging cable Alternatively, you could just use the YouTube app on your smart TV if it has it, or connect your laptop to your TV using a HDMI cable. The short power cable also makes positioning it more challenging than some we tested, as it needs to be connected to mains electricity for it to work. Once we got this karaoke machine paired up via Bluetooth it sounded good, but getting it connected wasn't always straightforward.

Microphones 2x wireless mics included (2x AA batteries required for each, none included), maximum two mics can used at the same time Smart TVs that share the same wi-fi as your smartphone can connect via the screen-sharing function on your phone. You can then stream videos with the music and lyrics from your phone to your TV, using apps such as YouTube. Microphones 2x wired microphones included (250cm cable), maximum two mics can be used at the same timeWe like the controls and light display of this karaoke machine, but the quiet maximum volume left us singing louder than the speaker. The only downside, which led it to fall short of being a Best Buy, is that all the audio balancing controls are buttons that need to be repeatedly pressed or held down. The speakers are where the sound comes out. Some karaoke machines have built-in speakers while others need to plug into a speaker, TV, hi-fi or PA system. Even if your machine has built-in speakers, it may still be best to plug it into a hi-fi system for better sound quality and more volume (neighbours’ sanity permitting).

The best karaoke machines you can buy in 2023 1. Mr Entertainer Moonbox: Best all-in-one karaoke machine Need to know Mains powered, audio effects include echo only, LED light display, included accessories: 1x carry strap, 1x AUX cableIf you want to take a power stance as you sing at the top of your voice and imagine the crowd going wild, we don't think there are many better home karaoke machines. The look, feel and light displays of this karaoke machine are likely to appeal to younger aspiring singers and the limited maximum volume, while restrictive, may appeal to any parents who might be considering buying it. The music sounds good from the tall speaker, which has an impressive light display that can be set to react to the music being played. However, the maximum volume wasn't quite high enough for our testers, who sometimes felt they could sing louder than it. If you don’t relish the thought of scrabbling around with cables figuring out what goes where, an all-in-one system keeps things simple. Some machines will only require a TV to plug into and some even have screens built in – although the lyrics will be easier to read on a telly.

It's not essential though. Any device that has a screen and a Bluetooth connection - your smartphone, tablet or laptop, for example - can be used to display the lyrics while you play the music through the karaoke machine's speaker. But because of this key limitation we don't think it's fit for a full-blown karaoke party. As a children's toy it does the job well, but we wouldn't ask it to be more than that. Need to know Mains powered, audio effects include echo only, LED light display, included accessories: 1x audio/video out cable, 1x tablet/smartphone holder, 1x pre-loaded karaoke disc for TV display

Guests at your next karaoke party will be wowed at the sight of this karaoke machine, which will command the room and make people feel like they're taking the stage when they get up to sing.
