The best Bluetooth speakers with a microphone for karaoke in 2026

The Tribit StormBox Blast 2 is the only genuinely portable speaker we can recommend for karaoke: it has two 6.35 mm wired microphone inputs and supports two wireless mics. Be careful here — a great many speakers marketed for parties have no microphone input whatsoever, including the original StormBox Blast, which Tribit's own FAQ confirms does not support a mic.

This is a category where the marketing and the hardware diverge more than almost anywhere else in portable audio. "Party speaker" is a styling decision — lights, a handle, a big grille. A microphone input is an actual jack and an actual preamp, and it is far rarer than the product photography suggests.

So before you buy anything on the strength of a listing that shows someone holding a mic: check the connector list. If it does not name a 6.35 mm (quarter-inch) or 3.5 mm mic input, or explicitly support a wireless mic, the speaker cannot do karaoke no matter what the photograph implies.

The picks

Best for karaoke, and effectively the only one

Tribit StormBox Blast 2

The only genuinely portable speaker here with real microphone inputs.

What it does well

Two 6.35 mm microphone jacks with their own volume control, plus support for two wireless mics — that is a real karaoke rig rather than a speaker with a sticker on the box. 200 W on AC and IP67 sealing mean it copes with a garden and a wet table.

Where it cuts corners

Heavy and expensive enough to be a considered purchase, and it drops to 180 W the moment you unplug it. The quoted thirty hours assumes XBass and the lights are off, which is not how a karaoke night runs.

Who it is for

Actual karaoke, and parties where somebody will want to make an announcement.

• Battery: Up to 30 hours at 50% volume with XBass and lights off
• Water rating: IP67 — submersible to 1 m for 30 minutes, dustproof
• Output: 200 W on AC power, 180 W on battery

The cheaper sibling — but read this first

Tribit StormBox Blast

The loudest thing we are willing to call good value.

What it does well

Ninety watts, over thirty hours of battery and IPX7, at considerably less than the Blast 2. It has a 3.5 mm aux input, so a mixer or a powered mic preamp can feed it.

Where it cuts corners

**It has no microphone input and no built-in microphone** — Tribit's own FAQ states this plainly. If karaoke is the reason you are shopping, this is the wrong speaker, and it is the single most common mistake in this category.

Who it is for

Loud music outdoors. Not singing.

• Battery: Over 32 hours in independent testing
• Water rating: IPX7 — submersible to 1 m for 30 minutes

Best value if you drop the karaoke requirement

Soundcore Boom 2

The value answer to a party speaker: it floats, it is loud, and it lasts a day.

What it does well

A dedicated 50 W subwoofer plus two tweeters gives it more usable bass per dollar than anything else here, and it floats and carries by a strap.

Where it cuts corners

No microphone input. The quoted battery assumes BassUp and lights off, and it is clearly less loud than the Blast 2.

Who it is for

Parties where nobody is singing.

• Battery: Up to 24 hours at 50% volume with BassUp and lights off
• Water rating: IPX7 — submersible to 1 m for 30 minutes, and it floats
• Output: Up to 80 W peak output (a 50 W subwoofer plus two 15 W tweeters)

Best sounding party speaker, still no mic

JBL Xtreme 4

Two woofers and two bass radiators — the most convincing low end JBL puts in a carryable box.

What it does well

Two 70 mm woofers and two 20 mm tweeters with dual bass radiators — the most composed low end in a carryable JBL — plus a swappable battery and a power bank.

Where it cuts corners

No microphone input and no aux input, it is heavy, and it sits well above this site's usual value ceiling.

Who it is for

Buyers who want the best-sounding big portable and do not need a mic.

• Battery: Up to 24 hours, plus 6 more with Playtime Boost
• Water rating: IP67 — submersible to 1 m for 30 minutes, dustproof
• Output: Two 70 mm woofers and two 20 mm tweeters with dual bass radiators
• Weight: 4.63 lb (2.1 kg)

What a microphone input actually needs to say

• A 6.35 mm (quarter-inch) jack — the standard for wired vocal mics. This is what the Blast 2 provides, twice.
• Or explicit wireless mic support, named as such by the manufacturer and usually tied to that brand's own mics.
• Independent mic volume, ideally with reverb or echo. Without separate level control the voice either disappears under the music or swamps it.
• Not "built-in microphone" — that is a speakerphone for calls and cannot be used for karaoke.

The cheaper route nobody mentions

If you already own a decent loud speaker with an aux input, you do not necessarily need a new one. A small battery-powered mixer or a powered microphone feeding the aux jack turns any aux-equipped speaker into a karaoke rig, usually for less than the price difference between these models. Our list of speakers that still have an aux jack is on best speakers with aux input.

If what you actually want is volume rather than singing, the loudest speakers for the money is the better list, and backyard party speakers covers placement — which is worth more than a tier upgrade in most gardens.
