Toys and Games Reviews of Okiedeoke Sing-Along Microphone (Colors May Vary)
Customer Review: More about the amplification
Summary: 4 Stars
I read all the reviews and didn't think that the lack of amplification would be a big problem. This went into my cart because of the sale price just before Christmas, and the fact that Liam loves all things musical. We were not disappointed.
It comes with batteries loaded, but I replaced them immediately, thinking that might have been why the amplification button didn't work and the music was barely audible. I should have read the instructions first - I was completely unaware that the base of the microphone turns and controls volume!
It turns out that a kid can figure this out before an adult. The trick to amplification is to put your mouth right up to the top of the microphone. Don't try to sing an inch away. Don't try to sing from the side. You practically have to stick it in your mouth - just like a kid would - and it works! And the kids loved it.
Liam is 2, and marches around and sings nonsense into the microphone while the songs play. Older kids will love the recording feature. The tempo (speed) button seems to make little difference.
I appreciated that the microphone comes with a little booklet with the words to the songs so I can teach them properly - classics in danger of being lost amid all the commercial TV shows kids watch now. (Barney's "I love you, you love me" will never go down in history as a classic like "Skip to my Lou".)
The packaging is really cool. Even though it's not Christmasy, I used the reversible shell as the wrapping paper. Then you use the attached pull ribbon to slide the box out of the shell.
