Magic microphones and extreme magic sing microphones are a portable karaoke machine capable of providing the same amount of entertainment than normal may have karaoke.

A karaoke machine consists of a music player, microphone inputs, a means of changing the height of the music, and audio output. But instead of a big piece of machinery, extreme magic sing microphones includes only a microphone in which hundreds of songs are included within it.

Also, instead of using CDs or DVDs, extreme magic sing microphones use computer chips that typically have hundreds of songs in so few people could easily plug in and play their favorite songs.
