Earlier this year, Shigeichi Negishi, the Japanese inventor of the world’s first karaoke machine, passed away at the age of 100. His creation, the coin-operated Sparko Box, was conceived in his electronics workshop in 1967. It quickly gained popularity across Japan and eventually worldwide, making karaoke a global phenomenon. Today, karaoke bars can be found in most cities, proving you don’t need to be a great singer to have a lot of fun.

Now, the joy of karaoke can be brought home for just $59 with the SonicPlay smart system. While not the first portable karaoke device, this affordable setup elevates the experience with innovative features. Load songs onto a microSD card or stream directly from your phone via Bluetooth 5.3 for seamless audio and stable connections.

What sets SonicPlay apart is its ability to transform any song into a karaoke track. With just one click, it removes the vocal layer, leaving the instrumental background intact. This feature works with virtually any song, regardless of how new or obscure. Additionally, the system can double as a high-quality portable speaker for regular music playback.

The LED display adds to the fun by showing the song title and artist, while scrolling lyrics in sync with the music guide you through the performance. For those who struggle to remember lyrics, this feature is a game-changer.

SonicPlay also excels in sound quality. Its dual two-inch full-range speakers with a passive bass radiator deliver powerful and immersive audio, rivaling professional setups without the hefty price tag. The sound system, combined with a light display featuring seven color options that can sync to the music, creates an engaging karaoke experience.

SonicPlay offers two wireless microphones with 10-hour battery life, perfect for extended singing sessions. Users can toggle vocals on and off and experiment with five playful sound modes: goddess, uncle, monster, baby, and KTV (private-booth karaoke).

Beyond karaoke, SonicPlay doubles as an alarm clock, daily planner, and mood-setting night light. Its creators emphasize creativity and connection, aiming to make music a bridge between people.

Currently available on Kickstarter for $59 (40% off retail), the setup includes a speaker, two microphones, and charging cables. With over 75 backers and shipping slated for March 2025, SonicPlay promises a fun and versatile home entertainment experience.
