Vizio’s new ‘MicMe’ soundbar has built-in karaoke
Is it just me, or is the karaoke machine trend trying to come back? There’s the Apple Music Sing feature, Ford’s in-car karaoke app, and Sansui’s cheap new OLED TV, just to name some examples. And now, Vizio’s getting in on the action with a new 2.1 stereo soundbar and subwoofer called the “MicMe” that comes with two wireless microphones and a dedicated karaoke app. It also has “six voice enhancements” which, for our tone-challenged friends, include multiple pitch correction settings.
The microphones have eight hours of battery life and a charging cradle you can set down next to your TV. They have built-in LEDs with nine ambient color options that, when in use, get brighter the louder you sing. You can adjust input volume, the LED lights, and vocal effects both on the mics and in the Vizio app, and when you finish singing and put the mics back in the cradle, the MicMe will automatically go back to using your TV audio.
The whole thing works with the MicMe Karaoke App, which is a free, ad-supported app with access to over 85,000 songs. But you don’t have to use that; it works fine with other karaoke apps as well as music from your TV or that is cast from another device. (Pro tip here: YouTube has countless karaoke versions of songs.)
As just a soundbar, the MicMe checks some solid boxes, with support for eARC, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X audio, as well as a wireless subwoofer. The MicMe will be $349.99, and the company says it will be available online and at retailers like Walmart and Amazon, and ships in late November.
