Our one is actually called Magic Sing and we bought it in the Philippines. Not sure if you can buy them over here. Try Ebay

Yep your right they are not cheap although they are good. You can also buy upto date chips every year to keep your song book upto date.
I can be frequently heard murdering some of the classics :icon_lol:

Definitely not cheap, and nor are the song chips
But then again gadgets are always expensive, it's just relative to your own hobbies and interests.
Photography can also be expensive.
Magic Mic is just a trade name for karaoke microphones made by a Korean company called Enter Tech
The microphones have built in songs and video, and also use various types of separate additional chips with embedded songs and video.
The latest karaoke microphones by Enter Tech are branded under the trade name of Magic Sing.
There are lots of cheaper versions, but Enter Tech models and chips are good quality and with good sound. There's also a much larger selection of additional song chips available.
Just as a taster take a look at WoW Magic Mic (http://wowmagicmic.co.uk/wow-magic-mic-karaoke-systems)
and here at Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/tag/magic%20sing/products#)
We have one wired Magic Mic and a Magic Sing base unit with 2 wireless mics.
We love karaoke

Yep we have the base unit with the 2 wireless mics.
I wish they would actually make a MAGIC mic that made me sound like Elvis or Sinatra. :biggrin:

No offence there fred, but I don't think those karaoke CDG varieties quite cut the mustard when compared to even the poorest videoke.
But.... here's something well worth the trouble and great for 'Mr Kuripots"
On my last visit to Philippines I was browsing the many electronic shops and came accross the Midi-karaoke DVD player. I was intrigued and asked the salesman to explain.
These machines play DVD’s with Midi-Karaoke plus, as a bonus, will play virtually all variants of DVD’s & CD’s, and some include Blu-ray, plus they have USB input which also plays video and downloaded karaoke. They come with remote control, song book and one mic (though not a good quality mic!)
Additionally you have a choice of 5 different video backgrounds which can be switched from the remote at any time.
The biggest attraction (for me) was that the included DVD that came with the unit contained 79,000 songs and 500 MTV videos!! All the very latest songs and MTV were included.
Eventually I asked him how much.
When he told me the whole package was P1200 I just went straight ahead ahead a got it.
Yep it's a little cheap looking, with loads of lights etc... BUT !
Your wife will love it forever if you buy her one.
The machine I got had the name MASS on it.
The model is M-8510. No info as to who makes or where!
It is just a Digital DVD player & Midi-Karaoke and has 2 mic inputs and USB.
Has score karaoke, background scene selection Dolby Digital etc.
Plays just about any CD/DVD with auto NTSC/PAL selection.
Although the sales guy said it plays Blu-Ray I've never tried (I don’t have any)
Power input is 90v-240v 50Hz/60Hz
Weight is 2.6kg. Dimensions 463mmx90mmx274mm
I could easily bring it back to uk in my suitcase or hand carry.
Should be easy and cheap to ship direct from Philippines with virtually no concerns about tax or duty since the price is so very low and can be declared as a gift.
They work great and the inherrent audio and video quality is digital, so says it all.
The included mic is the weakest link. But hey.
Well worth reviewing.
PS: DVD's are updated with new songs on a regular basis and it only costs around P600 for a new updated DVD with latestest songs added.

My wife has the Magic Sing and yes even in the Phillipines it was £300 (Christmas present) but we've had much more out of it at all the fiestas and birthdays. Then can be pricey to rent.
Just need to persuade her it has a greater value staying with her family than ruining the peace and quiet of our new neighbourhood. Not that she cant sing of course!

I suppose I wont know unless I download a few.. I`ll do it whilst the Mrs is shopping..Hopefully I can delete them after I judge the quality and before she returns!!
We usually do Karaoke once every 3 months after a few drinks at my mates bar.. When the tone deaf Filipino drunks arrive we depart!!:icon_lol: Actually I dont think its easy to get a permit for one these days without a sound proof room.
Why do these Karaoke tunes always have the same crap organist? Cant they use other instruments or something resembling the original sound track?

But I somehow managed to delete your post as I was trying to reply.
Anyway, here goes for the second time:-
....Which store in the Phils did you buy this Terpe?
Can't remember the name Jamie, but these M/C's are widely available in nearly all electronics shops.
