Amazon.co.uk Review
Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be... Britney Spears? H from Steps? The ninth member of S Club 8? Look and sound the part with the Dance: UK karaoke microphone. With a wirefree headset and belt-clip receiver (which works within a 10 metre range of the transmitter), it will bring your Top of the Pops fantasies to life.

Designed for use with the Dance:UK console games and fully compatible with PS2 and PSone consoles, the headset can also be used with other karaoke machines (batteries are required for this option). Be advised that setting it up initially can take a few minutes and a bit of patience, as you need to reconnect your console to the TV--but it's worth it. The Dance: UK range also includes an eight-way dance mat and a mini-speaker system.

When used with the Dance:UK console games the karaoke mic truly provides the all-singing, all-dancing game experience you've been waiting for. Turn up the speakers, start singing and enjoy. --Amber Pring

Karaoke Brilliant
I bought this karaoke microphone for my daughter a few days ago for a gift and she loved it. The only problem is that now we never have any peace from her singing. Whats more is that I would like a go of it but she won't let me because she is always using it. It is the best gift that I have ever given her. Another thing is that she no longer complains about being bored all weekend and on school evenings and during the holidays I expect it will be the same. It is certainly worth the money and it provides entertainment for the whole family ( unless one member of the family is hogging it all the time)A truly fantastic thing. I'll have to buy another one for my other daughter's playstation!!!!

A bargain radio mic'!
I bought this microphone to use with a PA system, rather than for the PS2/PSone game, as it was described as suitable for karaoke systems.
It's brilliant and a real bargain; in fact just as good as many costing a lot more! The headset fits well and grips firmly; the transmitter is small and can be clipped discretely to your belt or waistband. The receiver is also compact and comes with the required connecting lead - even a 3.5mm to ¼" jack adapter. I was also pleasantly surprised to find an alkaline 9V battery in the box - you'd pay more for the battery alone!
Like any microphone, you need to position it carefully to avoid "breath" noises. You can switch the microphone on and off on the transmitter without any annoying "thump", so this will be ideal for making announcements whilst wandering around. I may even try it with a tieclip (lavalier) mic'. Then it'd be great for making videos, too - the receiver is battery powered (it will work on a 9V adapter) so you could use it anywhere.
Just one thing to watch - it's fixed frequency, so if there are any other people using this or a similar mic' in the close area, you'll have interference. But what can you expect for the price - this ain't Pro' gear, but it's darned good!

Perfect
I actually bought this as a wirefree mic for going busking and it's linked to my amp, and it's doing the job just right. It takes a bit of time to get used to where to position the mic so as to get the best sound, but that would be the case for any mic anyway. Great value for money, and it even comes with a different colour foam bit to coordinate!
