User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Does what it says
Does exactly what it says it does. It is very portable and very easy to set up at anyone’s house. Sound quality is liveable but couldn’t really tell with amount of poor singers who were using it. I would like to try some different backgrounds as these can get a little tedious but apart from that one of the easiest go anywhere machines I have ever seen

5 Stars Fabulous fun, easy to use
We ordered this item RUSH for a big birthday celebration, and it arrived right on time. We did a dry run at home the night before the event, and it was very easy to set up and to use. At the event, we had a whole different system to connect to, and it was still very easy to get working, despite the hubbub and crowds! We and our guests LOVED the ease of use, the interface, the song selection and the quality of the product. The wireless mics worked flawlessly-clear and crisp. It sounds fantastic-how great to be able to adjust each mic’s volume and echo, and to select songs right from the mic simply by punching in a song number and hitting “play”. You can also adjust the pitch and tempo of the song you have selected, although we didn’t actually try these features out in the heat of the moment!

We’ve used stand-alone, boom-box type karaoke machines before, and they cannot even compare to the full experience of this set up. Of course, the sound will only be as good as your TV system’s, so bear that in mind when purchasing. If you’ve got a good TV with stereo sound, or even a more sophisticated sound system, you will LOVE the way it sounds. It was definitely worth the price!

Our only complaint is in the organization of the song lists, which are in alphabetical order by song. A cross listing by artist would be most helpful. Apparently there is a search system, but we didn’t have that sorted out yet when we were first using it. Also, they include a lot of useless “public domain” songs that are obscure and strange (in many cases). And searching through a whole slew of songs that begin with “The” under the “T’s” instead of the shortened song name (think “The Locomotion” instead of “Locomotion”) was a bit frustrating. I suspect we’ll adjust……

5 Stars Too cool for words
I just recieved my Magic Mic setup. I purchased it as a family gift for Christmas…but of course had to test it out (it’s only Nov 13th) while the kids were in school. What a blast! Very easy to setup-I was up and running in 10 minutes. I have just spent the last 2 hours singing by myself in my jammies. I did a ton of research on different systems, and finally settled on this one because of the portability and ease of use. A little pricey,($399) but you get 2000+ songs with the potential to expand with additional chips. The whole system fits in a bag that is roughly the size of a lunchbox, so I plan on bringing it along-just in case any parties need a little livening up! Can’t wait to open it and get to use it for real! I think the little features such as scoring (with built in applause if you do well), Effects (echo, backup singers), Key changes and games such as “name that tune” are bound to bring even the most closeted singers out of the woodwork!

3 Stars Sound quality is weak
I purchased this unit based upon the reviews that were here on Amazon. I wanted to get the best pro-sumer version of a Karaoke machine and this one looked like it fit the bill.

Pros:

-Easy to set up

-Very configurable

-Large song list

-Quality equipment

-Expandable with other song chips

-No CDs to mess around with

Cons:

-The sound has too much echo/reverb

-Latency (perhaps due to wireless connection)

I might be using it incorrectly, but the reverb+latency is so annoying that it is almost unusable. I know that might sound harsh, but it is a real issue.
