"One mic attaches to top and other mic attaches to pole part."
"Otherwise there's a danger they'll squabble over the one mike, or the kid who owns it will monopolize the machine."
"Our 4 year old asked Santa for a “stand up microphone” for Christmas."
"we bought it for our 3 year old. he needs help operating our phone app for karaoke, but that is bluetooth and we can do it from our seat while we watch the show."
"It is not a karaoke machine what it is is a base with lame speakers, a Bluetooth device that will not connect to a Samsung phone but will connect to an iPhone, a couple of cheap microphones and a stand to put a device on."
"Initially the product was a hit with the family, but after three or four uses over a couple of months A loud hiss appeared has made it unusable."
"No directions along with a missing piece."

"Updated: how do we contact the seller about the silver part of the plug on the microphone falling off?"
"This was a Christmas gift for my great niece and future star."
"This was okay but I agree with previous review of it being more like a big microphone so I sent it back since I wanted recording ability."
"Good quality mic's and plenty of volume, every kid who visits our house gets a demo and leaves wanting one of their own."
"Picked this up for our daughter for Christmas, and all I can say is wow."
"I can't say I hate it, it's $60, but the description was incorrect and the unit makes a buzzing sound over the audio."
"I don't know how to contact the seller so we just wasted our money and have disappointed kiddos."

"Great product."
"My stand came with a dent near the top of the main tube, a rusty spot at the bottom of the tube, and oily fingerprints on the tripod legs."
"This is exactly the stand I was looking for to hold a second monitor for Karaoke. With the VGA cable adapters I previously purchased, a CAT5 cable, and an extension cord, I can place this monitor stand as far away from my gear as I want (even with a standard monitor cable this can still be positioned away from my stuff)."
"Using wireless controls and a long hdmi table, I set up this stand. near a chair to do work/control a home theater as secondary small screen. I had to remove all of the dell mount and with the screws that came with the monitor, the stand was able to hold it."
"It is heavier duty than my speaker stands and the legs when fully opened will stabilize the biggest monitor you reasonable would put on a VESA mount that size."
"The top plastic plug on the stand looked like it was hammered on the pole with a mallet, so malformed that I just had to pry it off and throw it away to make the mounting bracket slip over the pole."
"My only criticism is that the plate that you attach to the back of your tv/monitor is just a shade too large around the edges to fit into the recess in the back of my dell monitor."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I give this product 4/5 stars because our expectations were based on reality AND we knew Youtube existed BEFORE we purchased the system (shocker I know). Many unsuspecting people will feel they need to download the Singtrix application on their smart device, since the company who made the product will likely have the best quality of songs that naturally work with the system correct? Just type in Karaoke (insert name of song here) and you will likely get a half dozen options, from instrumental on piano, to many times the real song with no vocal, or vocals reduced. My families favorite are the VEVO Karaoke songs on Youtube. THE BAD: (Again, only Bad if your expectations were off). (1) If you are a bad singer, this system will only make you slightly better... don't expect to see results like the videos on YouTube where those actors could already sing. My daughter who sounds incredible live in front of 200 people with only her voice does sound great... but some effects can make her sound worse as well. Some people only are really upset that this system didn't make them sound like good .... and I understand the videos make it seem like anyone can become a great singer. Not sure why SELECT people are so upset with this online and recommending system that use specific karaoke songs you pay for and manage with specific file types. I literally heard the YouTube Karaoke version of Christina Perri's "Thousand Miles" at least 40 times today... so if you are getting this for kids, make sure you have a good set of earphones for those times when you can't take another round of "Let it Go" today. Don't let the negative consumers who wanted a full Karaoke system turn you off... because with an Smart Device you DO have a Karaoke system. Use YouTube Karaoke videos... they are great and offer more songs than you will ever use. You will have a great time with this unit... if you sing well, you will sound great."
"UPDATE March 10, 2015(original May 2014): I had written a positive review several months ago and wanted to post an update because since the airing of the Shark Tank episode, I was curious to see how this little company was doing b/c I'm a huge Shark fan and always wonder how certain people do after being on that show. As an aside to the "FUN" aspect of this product, I have a confession: I thought I was a pretty good singer prior to using Singtrix, but the pitch correct feature, while a bit insulting to my ego(ha! And having read another long 5 star review,(The Good, The Bad, The Ugly) I agree with the other reviewer in that it seems most of the people complaining seem to either believe they will sound JUST LIKE Beyonce or other musical artist or have not taken the time to really check out the product! In fact their PRESET GUIDE refers singers to effects (yes...online for customer review) which are "IN THE STYLE OF....."Also, no preloaded music with Singtrix and thank God. So happy we did buy and really--I can see other customers who took time to understand just what a great product they were getting (and understand how it operates) are equally as happy."
"I love it."
"This was the second one we ordered, this for our nieces."
"The party never stops when you turn on this machine it rocks for all the family and all ages who does not like to sing, bad or good you sound like a pro."

Yeti, the world’s #1 streaming USB microphone.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Here is my full video review of the Blue Yeti microphone that I made for my YouTube channel."
"If you ever tried to stream through a Windows pc you will notice a delay between your live voice and what goes through the mic. There is no delay when you plug your headphones directly into the mic."
"I was able to pick one up on a lightning deal for $89 and it's well worth that price, however, I've had a few problems with it from day one that have since been rectified. Number one, I had to ship the first one back because one of the screws that holds the microphone into place was stripped out. Finally we can talk about the good and what should matter most when you are purchasing an expensive USB microphone and that is the sound quality -- it's excellent. If you are streaming a podcast or recording scratch audio for video production like I use it for, this microphone is really great."
"It does take a little bit of time to learn how to use the gain and pattern as well as the mute, but they're great additions to this mic for everyday use. I used to rely on a headphone/mic combo or just on the built-in mic but once I switched to this Blue Yeti I was getting compliments on my connection being so clear."
"This has really great voice quality and it picks up sound very easily so if you're into gaming videos or voice over videos whichever. If you have a video editor like I do you can connect it to that and record in real time with videos like some beauty youtubers do tutorials with voice overs."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The wire is always getting in the way and so I decided to try out a Bluetooth set of earphones and these were the choice I made. As another reviewer mentioned, I also feel that these are just a hair below the volume level that I like to listen to most songs on. I'm not the biggest fan of the ribbon style cable for earphones, but it seems durable and has a soft touch rubber. Works great for hanging them on the wall with a thumb tack and securing around your neck when you want to take them out of your ears. The metal base of the bud where the rubber tip connects and the speaker begins, where it kind of bulges out in the photos, is uncomfortable after a short time if the earbuds are inserted deeply. Shirt clip for the wire, I guess so you don't drop them if they fall out of your ears. Mesh baggy that can fit everything inside easily without having to force things in. In a sea of crappy in-ears, I'm happy I finally found a pair that sounds great."
"I've tried these, the Otiums, and the Bose."
"So when I pair it with my phone, if I then want to pair it with my computer I need to hold down the multifunction key, wait for a color change, power it off, power it on and then pair it with my computer. If I then want to use it with my phone again."
"I was worried that the sound quality would be affected since they are wireless, but the sound quality is actually very good."
"I love these headphones they're so convenient when you're working out and you don't want to hit the cord so they knock out of your ear!"
"My ears are on the smaller side and the smallest earbud size is great. It takes a few minutes to get used to having the buds in because they are a different shape than my apple earbuds but it's not bad."
"Charge is great as well."
"I like to listen to loud music and bleeding has always been a problem on the L train but not with this."
