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

First delivery, it arrived broken in the back. Order a second one while waiting for my refund on the first. I did my research with reviews. So happy with the 2nd order of my smart karaoke. Nice touchscreen, microphones and it’s easy to use. Sound is fantastic! Just love it. I also bought the expensive 4 year warranty just incase it malfunctions after a few years of use. Also, they could have cushioned the big gap in the shipment box.

This karaoke machine is really fun and easy to use. The sound is good and gets pretty loud. Connecting it was simple and didnt take much time. The microphones work good and the kids absolutely love it. The lights make it even more fun for parties. We are very happy with it!

The ikarao machine has been a great addition to our home entertainment setup. The sound quality is surprisingly powerful, which clear vocals and strong speaker performance that easily fills a room. The touchscreen interface is intuitive and responsive, making it simple to browse songs and adjust settings. Battery life is solid for portable use, and the overall build quality feels durable and premium. Whether for family gatherings, parties, or casual singing sessions, it consistently delivers a fun experience. It is a great vale for the price. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality karaoke system.

[Update] Now that the issues with my original purchase have been resolved, I’ll provide a more complete review for this unit. I looked at a lot of options as karaoke is a big thing among family and friends. Karaoke started in Japan (Kara means empty and Oke is short for orchestra. So that’s accompaniments) and became serious business in China. Originally the hardware was designed for KTV studios and the song library was based on local storage. But now we are in a transition where song libraries are stored in the cloud to have more strict enforcement of IP rights and frequent updates. As a result some companies struggled and some newer ones are doing better. I owned the old style karaoke machines (DVD player style with mics and DVD or HDD song library). They stopped working and then I built my own karaoke home kits with a laptop or Android TV box. This is the interface to a song library and media player. Add a couple of mics (wired is better but if you want wireless go with UHF mics for less latency) and a mixer and you get a basic kit. Basic mixers will not have effects (reverb/echo etc.) but the better ones do. Then hook up the video output to the HDTV and mixed sound output from the mixer to home audio system. Now you have a karaoke kit that beats 90% of the off the shelf boxes. But the home kit has its disadvantages. You got wires/cables going on the floor, you need to adjust mixer settings a lot, and it’s not portable. And feeding the vocal back to Android TV for recording/scoring is really complicated. Then comes the Ikarao. Ikarao does not necessarily have better hardware. Where it succeeded is integration. Think of the iPhone vs cameras, GPS, dumb phones, computers etc. it’s not better than each individual product for what it does but it can do basic jobs of others together. That’s integration. And Ikarao did a good job at that. Pros of the Ikarao: The tablet: The Cortex A55 processor on the X2 is much better than most TV/streaming boxes’. It runs Android 13 and thus provides a platform for different karaoke apps. You just need to find your favorite and side load via the USB port. There is no play store but with 32GB storage you don’t want to load too much stuff on the machine. I loaded a couple of karaoke programs and they work really well. And the 10 inch touch screen is helpful (but you have to be at the screen because there is no remote). IO ports: 2x 1/4” mic/guitar ports for external mics. This is the most important feature for my use case. I plan to use better mics and they are often wired. The sound: The speakers are quite decent with 70w RMS output. I spent quite a bit on car stereo when replacing all speakers and adding amps on my cars, and have a good frame of reference for sound quality. The Ikarao speakers can’t beat your home sound system or luxury car premium sound. But they are pretty good for the money. Wireless mics are decent with little latency in the new production models. And you can add DSP effects for the vocals (but a bit too strong in my opinion). Non-audiophile users will like them. They are portable. You can bring to parties and outdoor events and have some fun. At the same time, they are expandable. You can add wired mics, connect to HDTV and/or home sound system for a better experience if you care. Cons: The IO ports are crowded in the back panel and would have been better to have RCA audio output instead of the 3.5mm AUX OUT. For the larger X1/X2, there is a lot of room to arrange the ports properly. But not a deal breaker. Documentation could be better. There’s an online user manual but I double people read it. And proper documentation can set the expectations for the product (Apple can sell iPhones but wireless service is not included. Here you buy a karaoke machine but not karaoke content service.). The charger requirement is not documented in the fast start guide. It requires a laptop capacity USB-C charger (<65W). If people don’t read the manual and just use a phone charger to charge, there will be a lot of dead machines after the initial weeks or months after the first charge runs out. Bottom line: A good product with decent hardware and proper integration for the masses. For audiophile sound quality you can connect to your home audio system.

UPDATE: After testing out a few more karaoke machines, and giving this one a longer try, I'm updating my review of this to add back more stars. This is definitely the luxury brand of karaoke machine. The speaker sounds great, it provides a lot of connectivity options, and the microphones sound excellent. I also really like that the microphones charge while set inside their slots in the box. The built in tablet is what sets this apart from most other machines. You can run the Karafun app directly on this machine without needing to use another device like an iPad. That makes it truly an all in one solution. There is an HDMI output so you can connect a TV and the lyrics from the Karafun app will show up on the screen. However, this is the feature that prevents this from being a 5 star review. For whatever reason, when an external screen is connected, the performance of the tablet absolutely tanks. The animations on the lyrics get super choppy, and the touch screen lags a lot. This was the cause of most of my frustrations from my first review after using it only for a few minutes. I realized later that I had been testing it entirely with an external screen connected. As soon as I unplugged the external screen, the performance improves again and it's great. So sadly it's not the best way to get the lyrics onto a large TV screen. The workaround for the HDMI output is to run Karafun on an iPad or computer, and connect via bluetooth to this machine. Then you can run the HDMI out from your iPad/computer to a TV and everything is happy. It is nice that the machine has a bluetooth mode so you can always fall back to not using the built in software on the tablet if you want. I just wish they had used a slightly more powerful CPU for this, and one that could also handle HDMI out well! ------------- ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW So this thing is definitely fun, and sounds great and is nice and loud, but I was not super impressed with the touch screen. First, the good parts. The microphones sound good, and they charge and store in the box, which is super convenient. Getting this running took no time at all, just turn it on and choose which app you want to use (I used KaraFun) and go! The HDMI output is also great in case you want to put the lyrics up on a larger TV. But, it turns out there are some major downsides to bundling the screen with this. The screen is basically a built in Android tablet. They've done a good job of covering up all the Android-ness so you barely notice it. That's how it runs the Karafun app which was one of the reasons I got this in the first place. I tried a few songs in Karafun, worked fine, then started a download of the top 500 songs. After the download was finished, the app was running super slowly. Some of the buttons on the box were unresponsive. Finally I got the Android notice "Karafun isn't responding / Close app / wait" popup, but even that was unresponsive. I also had one time where the little side menu just disappeared completely and I had to restart the device to get it to come back. I tried running KaraFun on my iPad and connected via Bluetooth to the amp and it worked a ton better.

We absolutely love this karaoke machine! We've been using it regularly, and it has exceeded our expectations. It comes with everything described in the product listing, and the sound quality and power are excellent. We've used it for parties of up to 40 people, and it performed really well with plenty of volume and great audio quality. The setup was straightforward, the wireless microphones work great, and having the lyrics display makes the experience even better. Overall, this is an excellent value for the price and a fantastic choice for anyone looking to host fun karaoke nights at home or for small gatherings. Highly recommended!

I’ve used my X2 for a good week now. It is an excellent all-in-one machine if you want something portable and elegant with minimal wiring. I have mine sitting on a 35mm speaker stand. Initially I bought this to feed HDMI output to my Hue 8K Sync Box which can sync my Hue lights to incoming audio as well as output that audio to my surround sound for a truly unique and immersive experience. Unfortunately I found out that the HDMI output from the X2 only transfers video data, and that is by design as unfiltered audio may damage speakers. I ended up using iLightShow app on my phone that can pick up audio from my phone’s mic and sync my Hue lights to that audio; it’s not great with some lag, but it’s passable, and the X2 speaker is plenty loud for the space I have. Here are some more positives: - Excellent build quality. It’s hefty in a good way and appears to be built from quality materials. It even looks to be weather resistant with rubber covers covering all jacks and rubber buttons, but I wouldn’t risk it in the rain. The strap looks to be good quality as well although I haven’t used it. - Setup is quick and intuitive like what you’d expect from a smart tablet. It didn’t even come with a manual, but there is a digital manual on the tablet if you want to check a button’s functionality. - The swivel tablet is easy to use running a basic and intuitive OS. - Mics hide out of sight when not in use. This unit is just really sleek. I read people notice there is a slight latency with these Bluetooth mics, but it’s not noticeable to me. - Along with YouTube and KaraFun that comes with it, it also comes with a Chinese app called 全民K歌 with a ton of Chinese karaoke songs. The app registration costs about $44 for 2 years and you can also pay monthly/quarterly/annually, but it is a bit of a pain to make the payment. You’ll need to pay via WeChat with payment setup. A couple of negatives that keeps it from perfection IMO: - Tablet is a bit laggy when compared to a regular tablet especially when you’re typing on that onscreen keyboard. Luckily you can use the mics to speak what you want to search for into the search box. - The front LEDs on the speaker is not really noticeable even in a dark setting. To me it’s just a gimmick. - I wish the tablet and the front LEDs would go to “sleep” mode when I “close” the tablet instead of having to turn it off every time. - Not all 10” screen protectors work with this tablet. Just make sure the one you get is 9.5” x 6” or less if you do get one. - There is a small button on the mic that doesn’t appear to do anything when I short press it or long press it. - I believe there are two versions of this machine. The one I got has a USB-C charging port and came with a USB cable, but no wall charger, so you’ll have to get one yourself.

I would actually give this device 3.5 stars, but that’s not an option. I really, really wanted to love this karaoke machine/BT speaker. It’s compact, the sound is great, and pretty loud for its small size. Its got neat lights, a hole in the bottom for a speaker mount (which Ikaro sells as well, so you know it’ll fit - would be nice if that was shown in the pictures and mentioned in video reviews though), it’s got chargeable wireless mics that easily pop in and out of the machine, and I like the idea of a karaoke machine with a built in tablet to connect to You Tube (I don’t use the other apps) to access songs to sing. Plus the tablet acts as the “lid” for the device, protecting it. But, there are a few glitches, one of which I could not live with, hence the return. The connection to You Tube can be a little wonky, sometimes I have to hit the icon to enlarge the screen multiple times to make that happen, and the mics don’t always automatically sync to the device when I turn the device and mic(s) on and have to re-start to get them to work. But the thing that drove me nuts is the lag between the karaoke music and the mics. It’s slight, mind you, but still definitely noticeable when singing. Makes it seem like my timing is off when I know it’s not. I may not sing songs perfect, but I know the songs I sing. That’s what makes me wonder what kind of testing (if any) was done before the product was released. Either it wasn’t tested for lag or they said “yeah, it’s got lag - too bad” and released it anyway. Either way, it’s not acceptable. I ended up getting the more expensive (and way louder with a bigger tablet) Ikaro Break X1 (this is for the X2), but no spoilers on the Break X1 except what I just said - ha ha). It cost a lot more money even with the $100 bucks off I got, but the units are clearly similar. But as for the Break X2, hopefully Ikaro will get their act together and fix it. But that possibility didn’t help me with this one so I returned it and now begin the long wait process to get a refund, as even though I took it right to UPS and they did their part by getting it to the Amazon return facility quickly, Amazon just sits on it for a couple weeks or so before the refund is processed. Having that issue with many returns these days. Amazon keeps money while the consumer pays interest on a credit card. But I digress. Also, while I really don’t take karaoke singing “that” seriously I think a lot of these companies are wasting time and energy with these “effects” like “monster” or “cartoon” like this product has. I get it - its fun for kids for like 5 seconds - but on a supposedly more sophisticated device like this, the focus should be on better quality, louder and crisper sound, EQ flexibility, tablet issues, making sure the mics work and not having lag of ANY kind. For me the Break X2 was just OK, but really man, who named a fairly expensive piece of electronic equipment “Break” anyway? Seems like bad omen. Happy shopping!

wow what a amazing unit - probably one of the best portable Karaoke machine I have purchased so far - very impressed - not cheap but you always pay a bit more for quality :-)

Es un equipo con mucha potencia, se escucha increíble, lo Compré para regalar y le encantó, trae dos micrófonos y es muy fácil de usar, es práctico para llevarlo a todos lados, vale la pena la inversión puedes usarlo conectado al Wifi o por bluetooth y en la parte trasera trae para conectar HdMI, y un par de micrófonos más. Sin duda lo recomiendo

Super happy with product. Screen acts like an iPad with built-in apps, touchscreen and manuverable. Fully integrated system, works with wifi/Bluetooth to connect with cell phone, computer, has all necessary aux inputs to connect to tv, 2 more wired mics and even a guitar. Sound is great on speaker and Bluetooth mics. You can use just to play music if you like. Well designed and compact. Lights are a nice touch. Only small issue is the guitar sound could be louder but maybe I just haven't figured out the setting yet. Overall great product and fun to use.

Muy padre suena muy bien

Le son est excellent. Se transporte partout. Qualité superieur et livraison rapide.
