Vizio’s new ‘MicMe’ soundbar has built-in karaoke

Is it just me, or is the karaoke machine trend looking to make a comeback? There's the Apple Music Sing feature, Ford's in-car karaoke app, and Sansui's affordable new OLED TV, to name just a few examples. And now Vizio has joined the party with a new 2.1 stereo soundbar and subwoofer called MicMe, which comes with two wireless microphones and a dedicated karaoke app. It also features “six vocal enhancements,” which include multiple pitch correction settings for our friends with audio issues.

The microphones have an eight-hour battery life and a charging station that you can place next to your TV. They have built-in LEDs with nine ambient color options that get brighter when in use the louder you sing. You can adjust the input volume, LED lights, and vocal effects on both the microphones and the Vizio app. When you're done singing and put the microphones back in the holder, the MicMe will automatically use the sound from your TV again.

I am actually free to do anything my way.

It all works with the MicMe Karaoke app, a free, ad-supported app with access to over 85,000 songs. But you don't have to use that; It works well with other karaoke apps, as well as music from your TV or music streamed from another device. (Pro tip here: There are tons of karaoke versions of songs on YouTube.)

Since it's just a soundbar, the MicMe ticks some solid boxes: it supports eARC, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio, as well as a wireless subwoofer. The MicMe will cost $349.99 and will be available online and at retailers like Walmart and Amazon, according to the company, and will ship in late November.
