Vizio Expands Into Karaoke With 'MicMe' Soundbar

From PC Mag: Electronics vendor Vizio has a new soundbar for karaoke fans.

Although Vizio has sold soundbars before, the $349 MicMe appears to be its first karaoke device. It has a subwoofer and two wireless microphones, both of which promise about eight hours of battery life and charge via a connected dock.

“Users can adjust select settings directly on the mic or control advanced settings in the Vizio mobile app, which offers six voice enhancements and nine mic ambient color options,” the company says. The LED lights on the microphones also change color depending on how loud the user is singing.

The product is designed to work with either a third-party karaoke app on a smart TV, or the free ad-supported MicMe Karaoke app, which Vizio says will have access to over 85,000 songs. The app comes from a partnership with Stingray, which has been offering its Stingray Karaoke app on Vizio smart TVs as a subscription service.
