No more time limitations or fighting for a weekend slot? Yes, please.

Recording feature to play back your covers

Justin Bieber, Charlie Puth, and The Weeknd all have one thing in common: they were discovered on YouTube, thanks to the song covers they posted. Now, we’re not guaranteeing that you could be the next Biebs or Puth, but the InAndOn KTV Karaoke System can at least help you record covers for playback.
Just hit “record” on the system and you’ll get to record your cover of one of more than 600,000 songs that are available to download for free. The system also updates with the latest hits weekly, so you aren’t stuck singing the same hits over and over again. You’ll even get 2 wireless microphones so you and a pal can sing a proper duet.
The InAndOn KTV Karaoke System runs on an 18.5-inch touchscreen tablet, which is user-friendly and easy to navigate.
Price: $799

2. DLARA Karaoke Machine
Budget-friendly KTV option

If you’re concerned about space and price, the DLARA Karaoke Machine solves both dilemmas. The small but powerful KTV set up measures just 14cm x 27.9cm x 24.9cm, which is smaller than a laptop, and can fit into just about any tote bag. And, it costs less than $100 for the speaker and 2 wireless microphones.
To get started, place your smartphone in the holder, then connect to the speaker via Bluetooth. Use YouTube or a karaoke app like Sing Karaoke to play music and screen lyrics. This machine includes a “duet mode” that’ll allow you to use both microphones together.
Price: $92.96

4. Teo Heng
Recreate the KTV experience at home
Teo Heng is a brand name that needs little to no introduction, seeing as most of us have crooned our way through their song list at least once in our lives. And while we patiently await the reopening of our beloved KTV studios, you can now recreate your very own “Teo Heng” experience at home with karaoke sets and mic sterilisers from their home band, WASUKA.
Everything else you’ll need to complete a set up to impress is available for sale on their website. Think: subwoofers, microphones and mixers from other renowned brands like BestKara and BMB.
WASUKA flagship series ($1,399) comes with a song machine, amplifier, 2 speakers and 2 wireless mics.

For those looking for something compact, check out their Wasuka Jukebox Package from just $699. It requires minimal effort to set up, so you can get to crooning your favourite Sam Smith hits ASAP without having to fumble with wiring.
Now, all that’s missing are their iconic tambourines and maracas to get the fam in the KTV mood.

5. Powerhouse Home Karaoke System
Pinyin & romanised lyrics
The Powerhouse Karaoke System comes with free weekly update of songs in 17 languages.

Most of us might know the pains of heading to a karaoke joint and finding out that our favourite song isn’t in the library. That won’t be a problem with Powerhouse Home Karaoke, where their vast music library is updated every week with new songs for free in 17 different languages. Think everything from the latest children’s nursery rhymes to heavy metal hits to headbang to.
If the latest single from the artiste you’re looking for isn’t on the system yet, you can also request for it to be added to Powerhouse’s library and you’ll be able to jam out to it within 10 days.
Powerhouse offers myriad genres from NDP songs to Christmas jingles.

For all our fellow jiak kantang pals who struggle through songs like Hai Kuo Tian Kong 海阔天空, fret not. Powerhouse has kindly created pinyin versions of thousands of popular songs in Hokkien, Canto, and other dialects so you won’t FOMO during the chorus. Even the BTS army that can’t read Hangul yet can also sing along to Fake Love with the romanised version included.
No more excuses for you to butcher Korean lyrics during karaoke nights

If space is an issue, you can opt for the Powerhouse Slim Karaoke System with speakers that are only 8cm thick and can easily fit into any TV console. But don’t let its small profile fool you; the speakers and the similarly-sized subwoofer are still powerful enough to fill your living room with enough bass for an immersive karaoke experience.
P.S. Powerhouse provides a 2-year warranty on all their products from the touchscreen system to the speakers. They also offer on-site warranty for the first 6 months, saving you the hassle of travelling to their service center.

Founded by Singaporeans, AC Ryan knows the fine details that matter for true karaoke fanatics. On their handy touchscreen panel, search for songs by drawing out Chinese characters with your finger and searching by title or singer, or pinyin – just like what’s offered at more modern KTVs.
Also challenge yourself with their point-scoring function that might take you one step closer to hitting high notes like Mariah Carey does. It also works for those who want to challenge their friends to a sing-off!
Price: From $699 for the Gen 3 Karaoke System with speaker, subwoofer and 2 microphones

As a cherry on top, there’s also an AI function that allows you to pick songs based on voice commands – which is unfortunately currently limited to Chinese songs, but is nevertheless a cool option to have.

Money-saving tips
Despite being an important component of a dream home for many of us, home karaokes are certainly not the cheapest entertainment option to have. For those looking for wallet-friendly alternatives that don’t stretch into the 4 digits, consider just purchasing specific components.
Song libraries are the priciest component of each set and you can cut down the price tag significantly by looking for free alternatives like karaoke playlists on Youtube. For instance, Powerhouse Karaoke sells the sound system for just $499 – much cheaper than the full set at $1,699.
Those with an Apple Music subscription also have access to its new Sing feature that boasts their full catalogue of tracks; we’re talking about millions of chart-topping hits. The feature lets you adjust the artist’s vocals to your liking whilst real-time lyrics play on the screen of your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV.

Things to consider before setting up a KTV at home
Some of us prefer to belt our hearts out to Adele’s melodious tracks, while others prefer to flex our rapping skills with a dose of Eminem. But one thing’s for sure – we often get carried away, and things can get pretty loud. This is perfectly fine until you realise you’re at home and there’s this thing called neighbours.
As much as possible, none of us want to be that neighbour. HDB guidelines stipulate that noise levels have to be kept down between 10.30pm to 7am; for condominiums, the hours depend on the individual management. If you’re living on private property, it’ll be up to your neighbourly discretion.
Hours aside, the right thing to do is to keep volumes at a reasonable level, but no one wants to whisper their favourite songs into the mic, even if the song’s Careless Whisper. For those who’re installing the system in a designated room, there are ways to keep the music in, such as with soundproofing panels ($37.18) and noise-reduction door seals ($16.61), easily purchasable online.
