I was skeptical at first—how could this compact speaker deliver big sound? But the EARISE T26 blew me away. The bass punches way above its size, and the highs stay crisp even at max volume. At a backyard BBQ, it filled the space effortlessly, and my friends kept asking, *"Where’s the subwoofer hiding?"* Spoiler: There isn’t one.

The karaoke feature is a riot. The wireless mic (once we popped in batteries) turned our living room into a talent show stage. Pro tip: Skip the echo mode (it defaults to ON) unless you want your off-key rendition of *"Sweet Caroline"* to sound like it’s bouncing through a canyon.

Bluetooth hiccuped once near a crowded Wi-Fi area, but the AUX cable saved the day. And that 3600mAh battery? It outlasted my cousin’s playlist marathon—4+ hours on full blast while doubling as a phone charger. Genius.

Downsides? The mic feels like it could snap if sat on (handle with care), and the remote can’t adjust volume (why?!). But for $100-ish, this little powerhouse is my go-to for impromptu dance-offs, beach trips, and even work calls (yes, the mic works for Zoom karaoke breaks).

Final verdict: Not studio-grade, but *stupid fun* for the price. Just don’t shake the mic too hard—trust me.
