IKARAO BREAK X1, BREAK X2 AND SHELL S1 SMART SPEAKERS LAUNCHED WITH ANDROID 13

Ikarao has unveiled its new smart speaker lineup for 2025: the Break X1, Break X2, and Shell S1.

All three models are designed to combine portable HiFi performance with smart, connected functionality, including built-in full HD touchscreens and Android 13. Each model comes with dual wireless microphones and karaoke functionality, making them suitable for both music lovers and party settings.

HiFi PiG’s Editor, Stu has been writing extensively about how we get younger people into HiFi and snobbery in the HiFi realm so these new products, aimed at making music fun for all the family, seemed a good thing to share with you right now.

IKARAO BREAK X1 LEADS WITH POWER AND FEATURES

The flagship Ikarao Break X1 features a 13.3-inch rotatable touchscreen, 460W audio output, and two auto-recharging wireless microphones. Aimed at delivering powerful sound for larger spaces, the X1 also includes HDMI connectivity and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi support for stable streaming.

IKARAO BREAK X2 OFFERS BALANCED PERFORMANCE

The mid-tier Ikarao Break X2 steps down in size but still packs a 10.1-inch rotating screen and 300W output. It includes the same Android 13 system and wireless mic setup as the X1, making it a versatile option for smaller gatherings or home use.

IKARAO SHELL S1 COMPACT WITH FULL SMART FUNCTIONALITY

At the compact end of the range is the Ikarao Shell S1, which offers a 10.1-inch touchscreen, 280W output, and a similar app and karaoke experience. Unlike the X1 and X2, it omits the microSD slot, instead featuring USB storage compatibility for offline use.

ALL MODELS POWERED BY ANDROID 13

All three Ikarao smart speakers run Android 13, giving users access to apps like YouTube and Karafun over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3. A six-month Karafun subscription is included with each device, allowing access to a catalogue of over 59,000 karaoke tracks. Users can also sing along to YouTube videos and record performances directly.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS ACROSS THE RANGE

Shared features across the lineup include full HD rotating touchscreens, dual supercardioid wireless microphones with auto-recharging, HDMI output for displaying lyrics or videos on a TV, and up to 10 hours of battery life. All models also support adjustable LED lighting and have a premium steel grill finish.
