That's a steep price, no doubt. But a few minutes with this, and you'll understand. The wireless mics are heavy and sound great. The screen is the underside of the lid, minus black bars at the curves, and it pops. It's bright and sharp, which is helpful if you're navigating to a song or reading lyrics. The main unit is luxuriously finished, but most importantly, this is where the magic happens. The computer, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, battery, audio amplifier, and speakers all live in here. You can tell the quality of these components from the ease of use. The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connect quickly and stay connected. The computer moves through menus smoothly, and the sound is surprisingly good and loud if you choose. This has several useful inputs and a good-capacity lithium battery. It does great as an external speaker, wired or wireless, for other devices. This is a well-made prosumer karaoke machine and not some endlessly blinking kids' toy. It costs, but it's posh.
