The Ikarao Break X2 Karaoke Machine Is More Than $100 Off

We’re living in the best time in history for bringing karaoke to your home. I’ve had the pleasure of using the new Soundcore Rave 3S karaoke speaker, which turns any song into a karaoke track with the push of a button, and Ikarao’s ultra-portable Shell S1 karaoke speaker to host many house parties. But if you’re looking for a great deal on a more powerful speaker that is still compact and portable, consider the Break X2, also from Ikarao, currently $349.98 (originally $469.99), the lowest price it has been, according to price-tracking tools. You can read about it in more detail in Lifehacker staff writer Stephen Johnson’s review.

The Break X2 is the most powerful out of the three karaoke speakers I’ve mentioned in terms of watts, which means it’ll sound the best at max volumes with the least distortion. It’s perfect for those looking to have a stand-alone karaoke machine in their living room. It comes with two wireless Bluetooth microphones that store inside and automatically charge. The microphones are of good quality and sound much better than Soundcore’s Rave 3S’s.

The screen is a 10-inch Android touchscreen display that has some apps pre-installed, although you’d likely mainly use the YouTube widget. (You can find virtually any song in karaoke for free on YouTube.) But if you’re looking for a more premium experience, the speaker comes with six months of Karafun, a karaoke app that is incredibly fun (read more about it in my Shell S1 review).

The battery will give you about eight hours of juice, but you can always plug it in. You can also hook up an HDMI cable so you can see the lyrics on your TV to really make it a party.
