BONAOK Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone, Portable Handheld Rechargeable Karaoke Machine Speaker with Stereo Sound (D03 Rose Gold)

The media could not be loaded.  HI, I’M BRIAN CAMPBELL WITH OLD MAN NEW TECH. I do reviews on budget electronics from a Generation X-ers perspective.For my fellow parents out there, I’ve got some sour news…your teens may not think that you’re as cool as you think are. I know, it’s tough. That’s why when the company Bonaok reached out to me to review their all-in-one karaoke microphone, with built in speaker, I was a little hesitant. I mean, karaoke was a big deal, starting in Japan, and gaining in popularity here in the states in the 80’s and 90’s. There’s no way a product like this could be considered “cool” now, right? But Mrs. Old Man insisted, so I jumped on to Amazon and ordered one, $54 and two later it showed up. So, from there, I waited for the right moment to introduce the Bonaok Karaoke Microphone into a social situation. More on this in minute. FIRST let’s take a look this microphone and what makes it different.UNBOXING: It’s a simple glossy box with some Japanese writing on one side and English on the other. It shows you that you can listen, record, store and charge from the device. Now, my first surprise comes when I open the box to find a pretty high-quality carrying case. Nice fabric exterior, rubberized handle, and even a carabiner to hang it up out the way when not in use.CONTENTS: Inside the carrying case you’ll find the a micro-USB charging cord (it takes about two hours for a full charge), a user manual in English and Japanese, and a 3.5mm audio jack to plug manually into another speaker or music device. Finally, we get the microphone itself along with a soft foam microphone cover (for wind noise and pops).FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Visually, the Bonaok Ulitmate Karaoke Microphone looks like a professional microphone should look with the exception of this speaker and control panel built in to the base. Now this one is grey and white, but you can find it in gold, brass and other colors. Links down below. Controls are on the speaker itself. You’ll find the MIC volume, Reerb, and Music volume on rocker buttons right next to each other. Below that you’ll find the Mode button that will allow you switch from Bluetooth to SD card, Power, and lyric elimination button. What’s nice too is that at the bottom here you can skip forward & back and pause & play. Now underneath, there’s a mini-SD slot for playing and recording music, a headphone jack, a micro-USB charging port and finally a regular USB port which not only gives you other options for linking, but allows you to use the microphone as a charging device. Cool!QUALITY/FIT: The microphone fits snug in the case. Now taking it out, I expected it to be a cheap toy. Not so! It’s solid with some heft to it. The exterior is a cool metal finish and metal mesh up top. Feels like it weighs about 12 ounces. Again, it’s got some heft and doesn’t feel cheap.PAIRING: The pairing happens when you press the power button and look for BONOAK-D03 on the Bluetooth settings on your device.PERFORMANCE: Once paired, I opened up YouTube and searched for a couple of Johnny Cash karaoke tunes with the lyrics. There are tons of karaoke content to look up online PLUS Bonaoak has a few apps that you’ll find in the user manual but YouTube is the easiest to use and find. I could also pair this microphone to other speakers, but the novelty of this device is that it’s portable and has everything you’ll need in one little carrying case, so this review will focus solely on the microphone and its built-in speaker. So, the microphone is set to default as a close range microphone, which is important because it’s not going to pick up a lot of background noise. It picks up voices clear with minimal popping of the p’s and decent resonance. Once you start singing into the mic, you can play with the reverb, or echo, to give your voice that karaoke feel. The built-in in speaker is surprisingly a good sounding speaker, that picks up decent highs and mid-ranges. The bass levels are a little low, but that’s to be expected in a speaker of this size. The sound mixing of your voice with the music is seamless and you can play with the volume easy enough to make it sound the way you like. With a full charge, you’ll be good for 6-10 hours depending on your volume. Speaking of volume, again this is not a powerhouse of a speaker so you’re not going to be singing to a large party. This is built for more intimate settings of 6-10 of your best buds. You know, people that you’re not afraid to embarrass yourself in front of (see video). And get ready to pass the mic around a lot, because so far, the teens have had a blast with this.FINAL IMPRESSIONSNow I expected the The Bonaok Ultimate Karaoke Microphone to be a cheaply made, kind of useless, toy that would be quickly shuffled off into the back of a closet somewhere. But, what I found was a cool device that was well made, came with nice accessories, quality sound and was relevant to my family and friends. I mean, if there was a party going on and I dropped it in the middle of it, fun things started to happen. So I’ve got to give the Bonaok Ultimate Karaoke Microphone a surprising THUMBS UP!

I had gotten others and they were adequate, but THIS BONAOK mic is incredible! The sound is like I am in the studio. You can adjust the sound to remove all or most of the reverb. And the color gold is perfect so it's not look like a body part, but instead a REAL professional mic...doesn't look karaokeish. LOVE IT and will be using it for smaller functions that I get asked to sing at, like a birthday surprise at a restaurant. AWESOME BUY...THANK YOU!!! I need to find out how I can do a youtube review for this one! I have original songs.

I like it, very nice gold color and works as described. Price was amazing. Happy with it since the battery last very long and it's fun to use.

I bought this mic 4 months ago ,my wife loved it since the first day we got it ,she sings almost every day, this product not only looks good but it also sounds great. The customer service is outstanding ,after 4 months we had some issues with the charging port, I contact them, with in few hours they responded and guided me how to fix the the problem but I found out that the charging port broke and fell inside the speaker, I told them,send them the picture of it, within 24 hours they email me telling me the new one is on the way, I ll receive it on Oct 15,just simple as that, that's a great customer service , just that would make me buy from them a thousand times, on top of that the product is outstanding, good solid quality product, I would recommend to everyone

Had to return, piece of junk

I bought two Bonaok microphones: the Bonaok 2019 upgraded version (D-03) and Bonaok Q37 microphone. The D-03 is gold and the Q37 microphone is rose gold but they both look beautiful! They are both easy to use and easy to connect to Bluetooth devices. You don’t really need a speaker or any other equipment except your cellphone to have a great karaoke time, which means you can bring them anywhere. I brought them to my classrooms, to the beach, and to the park. They work really well in any environment.The Bonaok D-03 is longer and bigger and gives more control of volume and echo so it is more powerful. I take singing lessons and sing Broadway songs so I find D-03 more powerful in the sense that it captures better all the nuances and shades and tones of your voice and how you control your breath.Another thing worth mentioning is the Bonaok customer service. They responded to my emails in a professional and timely fashion. I bought the Bonaok Q37 microphone first and it came with a 20% off coupon. I didn’t know how to use it in the first place so I emailed to the email address provided. I got my response within 24 hours and used the coupon for the D-03. The customer service team was really nice. I am very happy with my purchase.

I order D-03 and Q37. First I order Q37 and it is great and easy to use. You can just connect to your iphone or ipad. It is fun to use it. It comes with 15% discount card, which I had to email to get the discount code. And I order D-03, it's larger than Q37, and sound quality is better. one function for D-03 that Q37 doesn't have, is that it can mute the human sound when you sing. that's cool, even that make not work for all song, but it works for most of them. Specially when you can not find the version that only has music. I love it. My daughter really love it, and her friend come to my house, and she love it so much. So I just order another D-03 for her.
