| Divoom combines a desktop speaker with a 3.95-inch display. |
Divoom is back with a desktop gadget that blends nostalgic aesthetics with modern functionality.
If you’re tired of the minimalist, black plastic boxes cluttering your desk, Divoom has just unveiled a device that might be the missing piece of your setup. The Divoom Astrotoo is the company’s latest desktop companion, and it’s looking to bridge the gap between high-quality audio and the quirky, pixelated charm the brand is known for.
Unlike a standard Bluetooth speaker, the Astrotoo is designed to be seen as much as it is heard. It packs a vibrant 3.95-inch IPS display, tactile mechanical controls, and a surprising amount of power into a compact, retro-inspired chassis.
A Display That Doesn’t Just Sit There
The standout feature of the Astrotoo is undoubtedly its 3.95-inch screen. With a resolution of 480 x 480 pixels, this isn't just a gimmick; it serves as a functional hub for your desk.
Once connected to the Divoom App, the screen transforms into a "living" display. Users can upload photos, showcase pixel art, or set up widgets that display real-time information like weather forecasts, stock prices, and calendar alerts. If you are someone who loves customization, the Astrotoo essentially becomes a smart clock, an art canvas, and a speaker rolled into one.
Tactile Feedback and Retro Vibes
Divoom has made a conscious effort to move away from touchscreens with this model. The Astrotoo features three mechanical keys and a joystick on the front panel. This allows for satisfying, tactile control over music playback, volume, and menu navigation.
The design leans heavily into the "retro all-in-one" computer aesthetic, reminiscent of classic CRT monitors. Available in White, Green, or Pink, the unit measures 10.6 x 10.8 x 13.5 cm and weighs 640 grams, making it substantial enough to feel premium without taking up too much desk real estate.
20W of Near-Field Audio Power
While the aesthetics are retro, the sound technology is thoroughly modern. The Astrotoo is equipped with a 20W full-range speaker paired with an upward-firing driver. According to Divoom, this configuration is optimized for near-field listening, delivering balanced sound that is best experienced at a distance of 0.6 to 1 meter—perfect for a desk setup.
For connectivity, the speaker uses the latest Bluetooth 6.0 standard, ensuring a stable connection with low latency. However, if you prefer offline media, there is a microSD card slot on the right side of the housing for direct playback. The device also features a built-in battery offering roughly 6 hours of playback, making it portable enough to move to the kitchen or patio.
Pricing and Availability
The Divoom Astrotoo is priced at **$199.99** and is available directly from the manufacturer. While it is significantly more expensive than the Divoom MiniToo ($59.99 on Amazon), the Astrotoo offers a much larger screen, superior build quality, and significantly more audio power.
For those looking to upgrade their desktop aesthetic with a device that offers both utility and personality, the Astrotoo presents a compelling argument. You can check out the specific color options and technical specs on the official product page here.
