Karaoke microphones for singing at home, at parties and in rehearsal rooms, from wireless handheld units to wired vocal microphones. Our range includes models from Media-Tech, Shure, Xiaomi and Lenco, so you can compare simple party microphones with a brand known from professional stages.
How to choose a karaoke microphone
Wired or wireless. A wired microphone needs no batteries and has no dropouts, but the cable limits how far you can move. Wireless and Bluetooth models let you walk around the room, which suits parties, though you need to keep them charged.
Microphone type. Dynamic microphones handle loud singing and background noise well, and they are the usual choice for live vocals. Condenser microphones pick up more detail but are more sensitive to room noise and handling, so they suit quieter, controlled spaces.
Connection and compatibility. Check what your speaker, mixer, TV or phone accepts before buying. Common options are Bluetooth, a 3.5 mm jack, a 6.35 mm jack or XLR for a mixer. A cable microphone with the wrong plug will need an adapter.
Built-in speaker and effects. Some handheld karaoke microphones contain a speaker, echo controls and a music player, so they work without any other equipment. The sound is fine for a family evening, but a separate speaker or amplifier gives fuller volume and better bass.
Battery life and charging. For wireless models, look at how many hours a charge lasts and whether it charges over USB. A long session with friends can easily run past two hours, so a spare power bank or a model with replaceable batteries is worth considering.

Karaoke microphones: frequently asked questions
Which karaoke microphone is best for home use?
A wireless or Bluetooth microphone with a built-in speaker is the easiest option for most homes, because it works straight away with no extra equipment. If you already own a good speaker or soundbar, a dynamic microphone with a suitable cable gives clearer vocals. Choose according to what you want to plug it into.
Do I need a wireless karaoke microphone?
No, a wired microphone works well if you stay near the speaker or screen. Wireless models are more convenient for parties and larger rooms, since you can move freely. The trade-off is that you need to charge or replace batteries.
Can I connect a karaoke microphone to my phone or TV?
Yes, as long as the connections match. Bluetooth microphones pair with most phones and tablets, while TVs and sound systems often need a 3.5 mm or 6.35 mm input or a Bluetooth receiver. Check the ports on your equipment before you buy.
What is the difference between a karaoke microphone and a normal microphone?
A karaoke microphone is built for live singing, so it is usually handheld and often adds echo or a built-in speaker. A standard computer or recording microphone is designed for speech or studio capture and may not suit loud vocals or passing around. Some dynamic vocal microphones, however, work well for both karaoke and stage use.
