Best for Teen Parties: BONAOK Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone

Let’s talk karaoke microphones. When it comes to karaoke at a teen party, bluetooth speaker karaoke microphones are a good solution. These mics connect via Bluetooth to a music source (phone, tablet) and then broadcast both the music and the vocals over a built-in speaker. That’s helpful if you are somewhere without a sound system.

We tried out several models before picking this model from BONAOK as the best of the bunch—it had the best sound quality, both for the mic and speaker. And yes, there is a built-in echo (reverb) to add some extra fun.

What We Liked

• Long battery life.

• Charges in about two hours.

• Connect to music via Bluetooth or use built-in micro SD card (not included).

• Easy to use. 

• Great volume for indoors.

• Perfect for teen parties.

• Can connect via cord to music source if Bluetooth isn’t your thing.

What Needs Work

• Not a Bluetooth microphone—only a Bluetooth speaker. That means you can’t send the vocals and music mix to another speaker.

• Limited volume means not ideal for larger venues or outdoors. best karaoke microphone

Best For Duets: Bietrun Wireless Microphone

When it comes to karaoke, we know a big part of the fun is having two folks singing—but if you don’t want to share a mic, what is the best two-mic option out there? We asked our readers for their favorites in the two-mic category and then did several more hours of research before deciding this model by Bietrun is the best bet for most folks. Here’s why:

What We Liked

• Excellent sound.

• Quick connect.

• Lightweight and sleek design.

• Easy to set up.

• Bluetooth.

• Long battery life (about four hours).

• Compatible with speakers with mic input.

What Needs Work

• Requires 2 AA batteries that aren’t included.

• No reverb or other effects. best karaoke microphone

Best For Larger Venues: TONOR Wireless Microphone

We love Bluetooth mics, but they do have one major drawback: limited range. If you are setting up a karaoke night at a larger venue (think church, wedding, reception hall), then going with a UHF radio-frequency mic makes more sense. In our tests, these mics have excellent range . . . and you can adjust the frequency to avoid any interference. Here’s more:

What We Liked

• Can adjust the volume on each mic separately.

• Excellent sound quality.

• Can output to XLR cable (not included).

• Long range.

• Includes two windscreen (mic covers).

What Needs Work

• No mute button.

• Require AA batteries (not included).

• Pricey. best karaoke microphone

Best For Kids: Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone for Kids

If your child is karaoke-curious, this would make a nice gift: Kidwell’s karaoke mic. It’s fun, works well and is easy on the wallet—perfect for that first karaoke mic.

What We Liked

• Sturdy.

• Voice changer effects.

• Bluetooth speaker—connects to phone or tablet for music source.

• Lithium battery is rechargeable—lasts for about 5 hours on a single charge.

What Needs Work

• Sound quality is good for a kid, but probably not so much for more serious singers. best karaoke microphone

How We Pick Products To Recommend

We often turn to our readers (3 million strong!) to find products to recommend. We ask our parent readers for their favorites and consider their real-world experiences in our recommendations.

When we test a product, we always purchase it with our own monies. We do not take free samples, as we believe that compromises our independence.

We also fact check manufacturer information with our own measurements. If a maker claims a product weighs X pounds, we will weigh it to make sure. If the battery life is supposed to be six hours, we will see how it stands up in the real world.

In some cases, we will do interviews with experts in the field to get additional feedback on products.

To get hands-on time with products, we regularly meet one-on-one with gear companies and even tour manufacturing facilities. (When we do this, we pay our own travel expenses).

Why Trust Us

We’ve been rating and reviewing products for the home and families since 1994. We do extensive research, evaluating products with an eye toward quality, ease of use and affordability.

We make our living from affiliate commissions, but we always recommend what we think are the best bets for our readers (not the ones that are the most expensive). We are always looking for products that offer the best bang for the buck.

Our independence is a key reason why we have been doing this so long. As we mentioned above, when we purchase a product for hands-on testing, we do so with our own money.

Here’s another key point: we don’t take money from the brands we review. No free samples, no sponsors, no “partnerships.” Our work is 100% reader-supported!
