I brought this on a whim and I love it! Been seeing the Divoom Ditoo all over my social media and thought it was the cutest thing ever.

A bigger 16x16 pixel display and a 6W DSP speaker.The Divoom Timebox Pixel Art Speaker is a unique and innovative device that combines a Bluetooth speaker with a pixel art display.

This is a fun and creative way to wake up in the morning.The Timebox also has a variety of other features, including a sleep aid mode that plays calming sounds and animations to help you fall asleep, and a social media notification function that displays notifications from your favourite social media apps.Overall, the Divoom Timebox Pixel Art Speaker is a fun and innovative device that is perfect for anyone who loves music and art.

The media could not be loaded. There was a time when the ‘Black box’ idea was doing the rounds, the simple sell was that it could do anything. You would hold it on your lap, place on a shelf even fit into your pocket and listen to music whilst doing everything else.A black box theoretically is designed to do everything, when in this case you would say designed to do practically all that could be possible with what technological restraints are allowed.For example what communication channels are available, how does the interface work, how can information be conveyed and so on. You have music or any kind of audio sent by a mobile phone like news and weather and so on.And then there is the screen itself being a 16x16 pixel display quiet large enough to show the time, temperature and all sorts of animations there are thousands on the Divoom APP. The EVO is a very nice graphical display with a loud with a good six-watt speaker giving ample bass.Using the Divoom APP - available in Play - you can upload 16x16 images and also animated GIFs. There is a limit as to how many frames from a GIF you can import which is 60 frames.Essentially the APP/phone serve as a remote control for the EVO. Using the APP you can upload graphics, stream audio via Bluetooth, configure the clock, calendar, weather, temperature and display.And next the visualisations, which to me seem to be nothing but animated GIFs and not built in random graphics generation in the EVOs firmware. Shame really unless I am wrong of course.But of course a compromise is supplied in the form of a visualisation editor with the colours, patterns, blending and timing. Text handling is also supported for scrolling messages.The design editor gives you the ability to make still and animated frames for the EVO. The editor is adequate and allows batch imports from an animated GIF.Importing a GIF is as simple as tapping on the circular plus icon. Two sliding trackbars one for the animation speed and the other for media volume, what that would be for I do not know as GIFs do not contain sound.There are a few fun pastime features including but not just a gimmick is the music generator. Some of the instruments serve as a continuous loop and others as one-shot fill em in sounds. The visuals are just as effective.The EVO has ability to record up to 60 seconds of audio that can no doubt be used for an alarm. To help you go to sleep the EVO supports audio called alpha waves which are sounds soothing enough to send you to sleep.I haven’t tried them yet which is probably why I am finding it easier to sleep these days. There are plenty of different sounds to choose and can be assigned to whatever alarms you wish.Pre-configured daily events starting from when you wake up and go to sleep. This is simply for convenience mainly because if your EVO is up on the shelf and you cannot be bothered to reach it and you can just as easily access your phone and so on.The EVO has a built in battery and lasts a fair time. It communicates via Bluetooth and is no problem to set up. Visualisations work well. All in all I give this wonder-gadget five stars.Muscipula

Had time to try this little speaker out and I am suitably impressed with the performance of the unit.The sound is clear with nice bass and mids. The highs are clearly defined so the sound produced is excellent for the size of the speaker, it does distort some high sounds when the volume is at maximum, but its too loud on Max so it plays back fine at lower volumes (below 90% volume)The led function is really cool with dozens of preset graphics/animations plus with the ability to design your own patterns. All work without the app and you dont need your phone once the image/animation is uploaded to the speaker.App works well on Android, you can customise the speaker to display whatever image or animation you like along with notifications from your mobile. Very handy.. There are tons of preset stuff and some very good sleep aids that produce a warming glow and some sounds that assist you falling to sleep (White noise, rainforest, thunder and many many more).There are even some games you can play on the speaker (Tetris) and a shootem up type game! really coolLed is bright and clear with a retro feel to it (because of the pixel type leds)There is no audio input so very disappointed with this feature.. dropped a start because of thisFor the money this little speaker is excellent great for kids and adults alike.I would purchase another onePros• Clear sound• Tactile Control Buttons• Good App features• Bright LEDs• Battery Life (real world use about 3-4 hours)• Small and Compact• App Alerts (Facebook, Text, Email ETC)Cons• A tiny bit expensive (£40 fair prices IMHO)• No Mini Jack input• Micro USB (Should be USB C)
