Best Karaoke Gadgets for Singing Superstars

N

o longer relegated to unused rooms of public houses, the pursuit of karaoke these days takes place front-of-house. It is also appearing in front rooms too as it is friends and family inclusive, even that over-enthusiastic uncle with the one-knee, arm-outstretched finale is welcome. Time to up your sing-a-long-a-game with this selection of top karaoke tech.

There are also a dozen cards included which may be introduced at random too that’ll request the singer to add some flair to their performance and add a flair of rap, or opera style or sing like a robot – levels out the playing field. After playing your pre-determined number of rounds the winner is announced and presented with a montage of selfies that have been taken throughout the game, their “best bits”.

At its core it is a streaming device but it uses this music for more than just banging out tunes. You can rock out with the Sing with the Stars sing-a-long, show your music trivia skills with Name that Tune and also access radio stations from all four corners. They’ve lined up a decent set of curators for their ready made playlists including Sheryl Crowe, Robbie Williams, Alicia Dixon and Stephen Fry – an eclectic collection indeed.

It is hard to image how, at innovation HQ, that place full of the folk who create things we never knew we wanted took so long in getting this piece of karaoke kit to market. Plugged into your headphone jack this shrunken singing unit, compatible with most karaoke and voice recording apps, will make any speaking/singing into your smartphone task more fun than it was previously. Provided with an additional piece of kit so you can both listen to your headphones whilst you sing into your new favourite gadget and make a real name for yourself on the 8:20am commute.

This piece of kit screams that you’re taking your singing pretty seriously, an all in one box of tricks that has the ability to turn you into a small business overnight maybe. There is an included microphone but the box has two inputs to utilise its impressive 100 watts of power to turn your performances into a half-decent sounding production, especially if you flick on the echo effect. Play your smart device based tunes streaming over Bluetooth and we’re thinking that it is always best to perform in a darkened space, this isn’t to save face if your singing isn’t up to scratch but this box delivers some very decent light display. The front grille gives a six colour pulsating music following display whilst the dome on the top fills a well above average sized room with lights all over the place. Take this wherever you may, a party should start very shortly.

Not winning any beauty contests this pair of machines do just what they say on their box, and for under thirty quid apiece we’re pretty impressed. The fluids you’ll need for a short performance are included, just load them up, plug in and you’re away. Spray fog and bubbles across your light displays for added effect, use either to create an added walk-on experience for your next performer, use them randomly at any time of day because you can.

Once only the preserve of Ibiza based DJ’s, super clubs and big budget productions all now available for your front room.
