Soundcore brought the party to CES 2025 this year with two powerful new Bluetooth speakers planned for spring release — and now you can buy one of them. The Rave 3S Karaoke Speaker is a big, powerful party speaker that brings AI-powered karaoke capabilities to any music source. The Boom 2 Pro is a rugged boombox designed for outdoor use.
Both new Soundcore speakers put on light shows, among other things HomePods can’t do.
Update: The new Soundcore Rave 3S Karaoke Speaker went on sale Wednesday.
“It’s a pretty cool Bluetooth speaker and comes with two microphones with a pretty slick Vocal Removal tool that can be controlled on either microphone or from the control panel on the top,” Anker told Cult of Mac. “There are different levels of vocal reduction, so for example if you are a good singer and know the lyrics, you can reduce the vocals off. However, if you need a little help with the vocals, you can make the singer’s vocals come through a little stronger so you can hear it better.”
Soundcore Rave 3S Karaoke Speaker: Turn your Apple Music Library into a karaoke paradise
Get the party started with this powerful speaker with 200-watt sound, two wireless microphones, AI vocal removal, reverb, light show, 12 hours of playtime and more.
- Powerful 200W of sound
- 2 mics with multiple levels of vocal removal
- Light shows
- While portable, it's pretty big
Anker subsidiary Soundcore’s upcoming Rave 3S speaker looks like a versatile party companion that works seamlessly with your iPhone, iPad or MacBook. The 200-watt powerhouse speaker introduces an innovative, AI-powered vocal removal feature that can transform any song into an instant karaoke track.
Whether you’re hosting a party or practicing your singing, you can adjust or completely remove the original vocals with a single tap. (This is different from Apple Music Sing, the karaoke mode that lets you turn down the lyrics so you can sing along to your favorite hits.)
