Method: Covers standalone consumer karaoke machines and karaoke-marketed PA speakers sold at a published/observed US price in 2026: handheld singing mics (Singing Machine Carpool), rugged Bluetooth party speakers with mic inputs (ION Block Rocker), CDG/media karaoke consoles (Karaoke USA GF920), a vocal-effects processor bundle (Singtrix), Amazon-native trolley PA/karaoke speakers (VeGue, Masingo, EARISE, Rockville, JYX, Moukey, BONAOK), a party speaker with mic input (JBL PartyBox), and a professional portable PA system used for karaoke by small venues (Peavey Escort 5000). Excludes karaoke apps/software, smart-TV karaoke services, and commercial nightclub karaoke-box systems (e.g. DAM/JOYSOUND). priceUsd is the current US starting price for the base single-unit configuration observed on the manufacturer's site or an authorized US retailer; priceNote records the exact source figure and any discrepancy between listed retailers. Three of the ten supplied seed names do not correspond to any real current product and were corrected after verification: 'Masingo Bella' does not exist in Masingo's lineup (Soprano, Festoso, Alto, Allegro, Burletta, Presto, Ostinato, Spinto, Illuminato) — replaced with the closest comparable current flagship, Masingo Festoso X9; 'Eariskey' is not a real brand (the actual brand is EARISE) — corrected to EARISE T26 PRO; 'Rockville Rockstar' does not exist in Rockville's catalog — replaced with Rockville's closest current comparable model, Rock Party 8. 'Moukey MTs10-1' (single-mic version) still exists as a listed SKU alongside its two-mic successor MTs10-2; the single-mic MTs10-1 named in the seed list is kept. JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2, BONAOK Karaoke Machine, and Peavey Escort 5000 were added to round out the 2026 comparison set (mainstream party-speaker crossover shopper, best-selling Amazon-native budget brand, and step-up professional PA option). specKey semantics: power_watts is the manufacturer's headline advertised output in watts (peak unless RMS is the only figure disclosed; the peak/RMS split is noted in provenance where both are known). battery_life_hours is the manufacturer's stated continuous playback figure at moderate volume (upper bound used when only a range is published, e.g. '3-6 hours' -> 6; null for AC-only units). mic_count is the number of simultaneous microphone inputs/mics the unit provides (handheld mic products like the Carpool count as 1). bluetooth_version is the disclosed Bluetooth spec number as a string, or null if the unit has no Bluetooth or the manufacturer does not disclose a version. led_lighting is boolean for built-in party/sync lighting. echo_control is boolean for a dedicated echo/reverb/vocal-effect adjustment (mic volume/bass/treble alone does not count). input_ports is a free-text summary of physical/wireless inputs. weight_lbs is unit-only shipping/product weight in pounds. Several manufacturer storefronts (Vegue, Masingo, Rockville, Moukey/Donner, BONAOK) run on Shopify and returned persistent HTTP 429 bot-protection responses to automated fetches throughout this research session; for those entries the cited spec/price figures were confirmed via a real-time web-search retrieval of the same live manufacturer page (quoted verbatim in the underlying page content) rather than a direct page fetch performed by this agent — this is flagged in each affected product's provenance, and no numbers were invented to fill the gap. Where neither method could confirm a figure, the field is null. Images are used only where a direct image-file URL was fetched and visually confirmed by this agent to depict the exact named product; otherwise the image key is omitted rather than guessed.
