SingStar is just doing at any party by us. And the microphones are very good. On my first purchase the first but after a short time (2 months ???) is broken. The contacts were worn, or anything. This has happened even friends of mine. My other two mics have kept much longer. (2,5 years ???) is the one got broken recently also. But since I still have the one from the first purchase, which is not a big problem. SingStar is to get definitely a MUST to have a party in transition. ^^
