healsonic

It's nice that you can use the app anywhere there's a Healsonic system! Simple, intuitive English interface & good for just getting karaoke going -- not confusing or strangled translated. A little sad that not every venue has all the song languages the app offers, but a Healsonic rep explained to me that it just depends on what the bar itself subscribes to (makes sense). I love the karaoke/noraebang experience in Japan & SKorea and Healsonic is a good entry for American customers.

The app is a great concept and has the foundation there but it needs TLC and the song library just needs more variety all throughout. The search function hides the first 1-2 choices due to them being behind the search entry field. Song Library is very limited especially when you think about all of the trending songs across all genres. Even rock/alternative/metal is nowhere near updated to even being somewhat recent, as in the last 4-6 years.

I’m not about to mince words here. This Karaoke system will please no one except Normies and Teens. I hate to use that term, but hey, even people who only listen to radio would be shocked by how little options there are here. It’s absolutely baffling that they don’t have some of the most popular songs of all time across many genres. Does 36,000 songs sound like a lot? How about Joy Sound’s 300,000 songs? How about DAM having 150,000? The market competition in the US is absolutely pathetic. It doesn’t matter how Karaoke is more popular in Asia when they still manage to have Western artists and bands I never even heard of. Yet, for our own country, Healsonic barely keeps up with top hits, recent or not. It makes no sense, that any of the few Karaoke booths we have in the States use Healsonic. Nobody needs a Karaoke machine to sing “Happy Birthday to You” and “We Will Rock You”.
