Why it's best: For the young karaoke enthusiast, this is a great (and inexpensive) way to start. This machine basically turns your ipod into a karaoke system. A specially designed mic stand holds the ipod, a microphone, and two speakers on the base. With a push of the button, it eliminates the vocals on the track, allowing you to sing along to all your favorite music. Lyrics are not included, but since its music you already own, chances are you already know the words. See more reviews, photos, prices, and specs
