Among all the tech, one thing consistently drew people in: Stingray Karaoke. From the Stingray booth to private Samsung events, karaoke became one of the most joyful aspects of CES, providing lighthearted experiences to the show floor. Powered by Singing Machine, our new generation of professional-grade microphones, real-time scoring, and pitch-perfect AI tools showed everyone that the future of entertainment can be interactive, social, and fun.
This year marked a turning point for Singing Machine, as we introduced a new direction focused on next-generation karaoke including mic solutions developed with Samsung and new automotive-ready formats designed for BYD and beyond.
Human-Powered Entertainment in an AI World
AI was a big talking point at CES 2026. Everyone wants to know how AI can fit into their business, and Stingray is no exception. We use AI to improve workflows, power FAST channels, and make our platforms more efficient. However, we pride ourselves on finding a balance between responsible AI and human creativity and feel strongly that this sets us apart in the music market. Much of what we do is still human-curated, built by experts who understand artistry, emotion, and culture. We’re not here to replace artists. We’re here to amplify them.
Moving Entertainment Forward
Stingray is in your homes, on your screens, and in your cars. From Loupe curating art and visual culture at home, TuneIn, and Stingray Karaoke, we brought innovation and expertise to CES 2026 on top of being the life of the party.
CES didn’t just show what technology can do, it showed how entertainment is evolving and how we are helping lead that shift. As we look ahead to what’s next, one thing is clear: Stingray is everywhere you look — or listen.
