BONAOK Q37 Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone vs Phenyx Pro PDP-2-2H Dual Digital Wireless Microphone System
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full Karaoke Microphones: Which to Buy and Which to Skip comparison.
The BONAOK Q37 does the whole job in one hand at a budget price, with a published 6W speaker, a 5 to 10 hour sing time and separate volume and echo controls. The Phenyx Pro PDP-2-2H is the better buy when a speaker with a mic input is already in the house, because two digital wireless handhelds through real speakers beat any speaker built into a mic.
BONAOK Q37 Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone
Buy itA handheld mic with a built-in 6W speaker that plays your phone's backing track over Bluetooth and mixes your voice on top.
- BONAOK publishes a full spec list: 6W speaker output, 365 g weight, 2 hours to charge and 5 to 10 hours of singing.
- Mic volume, echo and music volume each have their own control, so you can balance voice against track without touching the phone.
- It also works as a Bluetooth speaker and recorder, connects by cable as well as Bluetooth and plays songs from a microSD card up to 32GB.
- One mic means one singer; duets need a second unit.
- A 6W speaker built into the mic is fine for a living room but will not fill a big party.
- The microSD card is not included and BONAOK does not state the Bluetooth version.
Phenyx Pro PDP-2-2H Dual Digital Wireless Microphone System
Buy itTwo digital wireless handhelds and a pocket-size rechargeable receiver that plugs straight into a speaker's mic input.
- Phenyx Pro states 48 kHz/24-bit digital transmission with a 2.5 ms delay, so your voice stays in time with the track.
- The receiver charges over USB-C and the box includes an angled 1/4-inch TS adapter plus a 6.35 mm to 3.5 mm adapter, so it fits most mic inputs.
- The 900MHz version offers 15 frequency groups with one-tap selection and a stated 200 ft line-of-sight range.
- Phenyx Pro rates the receiver at 5.5 hours for the two-mic PDP-2, shorter than a long party.
- The handheld mics run on AA batteries rather than built-in rechargeables.
- It needs a speaker, karaoke machine or mixer with a mic input; it cannot play music by itself.
