Features to consider when choosing the best portable keyboard piano
Here are some of the key aspects you should consider to make the best buy:
Recommended age
Ensure you buy a microphone that perfectly suits your child according to his age group. Common sense should guide you to make the right choice. For instance, your 12-year-old is not going to love pre-programmed kids’ songs or get attracted to super-pastel microphone colors. A small toddler, on the other hand, would very much appreciate each of these things.
Safety of use
First off, for your child’s health safety you must be keen on the type of materials used to make the microphone. The materials should be BPA-free.
Also, for wired microphones ensure the wires are safe and in place every time before and after your child is has used the microphone.
Power source and playtime
Most kids’ microphones are powered by rechargeable batteries. For each and every microphone you take a gander at, ensure you check its battery specs. You don’t want to buy your child a mic that they will keep charging after every hour. A good microphone should have a playtime of at least 4 to 8hours after a single full charge.
Built-in speakers
These are an added bonus. Speakers amplify the voice of your child making them sound much clearer when singing. Also, the speakers can amplify your music and give it a nice bass sound when you connect and play from your phone, laptop, SD card or USB disk.
Audio quality
This should be your top consideration because at the end of the day you want your child to have a wonderful singing experience. A high-quality mic will have a noise cancellation feature that filters all the background noise to give you crisp clear and pristine sound quality.
Durability

It is quite apparent that every child does their best when it comes to smashing and crashing things any time whether it’s accidental or not. With this in mind, you should opt for the most durable microphone with advanced features for longevity. A mic with a full metal ultra-durable body like the Leeron Karaoke Microphone will be able to hold up well to a good beating or regular abuse from your kid.
Compatibility
This determines the microphone’s capability to connect to various devices. Be sure to go for a mic with a wide compatibility like the GOODaaa Karaoke Microphone. It should be Bluetooth enabled to allow you to connect to all Bluetooth devices like phones, tablets and laptops. An audio cable also allows you to connect to a wide range of devices. Some microphones are also compatible with Micro SD cards and USB disks from which your child can play his or her favorite jams.
LED lights
A colorful and attractive LED light is a fun thing for kids especially in the younger ages. It also creates a wonderful ambience, especially for parties. The more they are in number and colors the merrier.
