Finally, AI is being put to good use, without taking anyone’s job (I think?). The Soundcore Rave 3S uses a unique AI feature to turn any regular song you play over Bluetooth into a karaoke track by digitally removing the vocals. I praised it highly in my review, and I’ve had a lot of fun making it a centerpiece at my parties this year.
Right now, the speaker has gotten its first significant discount—you can pick one up for $299.99, $50 of the usual price.
If you’ve ever experienced that feeling of disappointment when looking for a specific karaoke song on YouTube and coming up empty-handed, this speaker is for you. It has happened to me plenty, mainly because my taste in music is fairly niche. If the songs you’re searching for are easily found on YouTube and you’d prefer a smaller, more portable speaker, I recommend getting the Ikarao Shell S1 portable speaker instead.
Otherwise, the Soundcore Rave 3S is pretty sweet. The AI vocal remover works well. You can trigger it by pressing a button on one of the two Bluetooth microphones or through the companion app. You can also choose the degree to which you want the vocals to be removed.
What do you think so far?
The companion app is intuitive and useful and includes fun Vocal Enhancer features that change the sound of the mic (with options for neutral, warm, presence, and bright). The EQ options are also very detailed and change in real time. The battery will give you up to 12 hours of juice, so you can take the party outdoors (it’s splashproof, with an IPX4 rating).
