How we ranked these karaoke machines

Every pick has at least 100 customer ratings on Amazon and a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

  • Power weight 2
  • Wireless mics included weight 2
  • Bluetooth weight 1

Buying advice: karaoke machine for home theater

Start with power and microphone count

Power and microphone count are the first figures to compare. The Ikarao Shell S1 gives 280W with 2 wireless microphones, the SunTrok soundbar gives 60W with 2 wireless microphones, and the Ikarao Shell S3 gives 80W with 2 wireless microphones. The HWWR machine gives 200W with 2 wireless microphones, and the EYTSE machine gives 250W with 2 wireless microphones. Compare the watts and the mic count side by side, since watts alone do not decide which machine fits two singers at once.

Check the screen, lights and battery

A lyrics screen, party lights and battery playtime change how the machine fits a night of singing. The Ikarao Shell S1 has a 10.1-inch lyrics screen, the Ikarao Shell S3 has a built-in lyrics screen, and the HWWR machine has RGB lights while the EYTSE machine has disco ball LED lights. The Ikarao Shell S3 gives 7 hours of battery playtime, the HWWR machine gives 24 hours or more, and the EYTSE machine gives 8 hours. Pick the screen, lights and playtime you will use, and skip the extras you will not touch.

Match the machine to the TV

A TV connection decides whether lyrics and video play on the big screen instead of a small machine screen. The Ikarao Shell S1, the Ikarao Shell S3 and the SunTrok soundbar connect over HDMI, and the HWWR and EYTSE machines connect to a TV as well. The SunTrok soundbar uses HDMI ARC, while the Ikarao machines show lyrics on their own screens too. Check the HDMI port on the TV first, then pick the machine whose connection matches it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a TV for a karaoke machine?

No. The Ikarao Shell S1 shows lyrics on its own 10.1-inch screen, and the Ikarao Shell S3 has a built-in lyrics screen too. A TV connection over HDMI gives a bigger display, and the SunTrok soundbar connects to a TV over HDMI ARC.

How many microphones come with these machines?

Two microphones come with each machine here. The Ikarao Shell S1, the Ikarao Shell S3, the HWWR machine and the EYTSE machine include 2 wireless microphones, and the SunTrok soundbar includes 2 wireless microphones too.

How long does the battery last on these machines?

It depends on the machine. The Ikarao Shell S3 gives 7 hours of playtime, the EYTSE machine gives 8 hours, and the HWWR machine gives 24 hours or more. The Ikarao Shell S1 runs on battery power as well, so compare the playtime figures before you pick.

Can two singers sing at the same time?
