Does this actually connect over Bluetooth, or only through a wired cable?
It connects over Bluetooth. YLL describes instant pairing with smartphones and tablets, and buyers rate the Bluetooth connection positively, with owners streaming from apps such as YouTube and Spotify. You can also play songs from a TF card, and there is a headphone output on the back for listening to yourself sing.
What kind of voice effects does it have, and how do they work?
There are four magic voice effects on the microphones. Effects like these work by shifting the pitch and tone of the voice as you sing, so a child can sound squeaky, deep or robotic. They are one of the funniest parts of the toy, and younger children often play with the voices as much as they sing.
How durable is it for a child to use daily?
Better than you might expect from an inexpensive toy. One toddler's machine saw about six months of regular use, a microphone that was regularly drooled on still works, and YLL backs it with a one-year warranty. As with any battery-powered toy used every day, expect some wear, and keep it away from water.
Does it come with songs, or do I need a phone?
There are no songs built in. You play music over Bluetooth from a phone or tablet, or from a TF card, which is not included. The vocal reduce key helps turn ordinary songs into karaoke tracks, so you do not have to search only for karaoke versions.
Does it come with a stand, or does it need to sit flat on a table?
It is designed to sit on a table rather than on a stand. At 4.72 by 3.93 by 5.9 inches and 550 grams it is compact and light enough to move easily, and YLL says it fits in a backpack for taking to parties.
Are the different colours any different apart from the look?
YLL sells the machine in several colours, including beige, black, pink and purple, and the colours share the same two wireless microphones, Bluetooth and TF card playback, magic voices and LED lights. Pick the one your child will like best.
