#35 iKarao Shell S1: $449.99 Amazon $449.99 eBay
Pros: A compact karaoke speaker with a built-in 10.1 inch touchscreen, two wireless microphones and HDMI output to a TV. It has two 15W woofers and two 10W tweeters, a rated 55W output, and USB-C charging at up to 65W. Reviewer testing reached about 106dB to 107dB on a rock test track in Hi-Fi mode. The default Hi-Fi sound mode is reasonably balanced, with bass that rolls off from about 100Hz but extends to roughly 55Hz, and the mic controls cover reverb, treble and bass. It offers Bluetooth, two aux inputs and a claimed 9 hours of playback with the screen on at half volume.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so the rating is estimated from a single detailed video review. The screen is glossy, collects fingerprints and cannot be tilted. The Android software is laggy, its apps are only browser shortcuts and you must sign in to each service, and the on-screen controls were fiddly to bring back. The microphone controls sit where your hand grips, so it is easy to press them by accident. It has no companion app, bass is limited below 100Hz, and Outdoor mode mostly raises volume rather than improving the sound.
