CIPRIAN.B introduces the Divoom AstroToo as another addition to his own collection: he says he bought it after thinking he was finished buying Divoom products for the year. His review asks whether the sound, display and physical character make it a desk companion he wants to keep.
He likes the screen and audio and finds few negatives beyond the price. That makes this a useful perspective for someone choosing a Bluetooth speaker partly for how it belongs in a personal setup, rather than only for the largest possible feature list.
The small terminal shape is part of the value
After the brief unboxing, the review focuses on the plastic shell, rounded corners and front mechanical-style keys. CIPRIAN.B finds their tactile click satisfying and likens the pressable directional control to an arcade input. The screen and controls make it more visually involved than a plain speaker cabinet.
He shows the passive radiators at the sides, top grille, USB-C connection and the microSD slot with mode and power keys. He also cautions that it is not a waterproof speaker. The footage and his intended desk placement support treating it as an indoor personal object, rather than buying it for rugged outdoor use.
A sharper screen gives a different kind of retro look
CIPRIAN.B contrasts the older Ditoo Pro’s visibly coarse pixel display with AstroToo’s sharper IPS screen. The idea is still retro computing, but the appearance is now created through chosen faces, artwork and fonts on a more detailed panel.
The official product specification is a 3.95-inch, 480 × 480 screen and 20W audio output. Those figures help describe the hardware; his reaction to the display is a separate personal judgment. He finds it particularly attractive as something that sits among the other objects in his setup.
Initial connection includes an update
His setup explanation starts with the Divoom app on iOS or Android, then powering on the AstroToo and following the on-screen instructions. He selects Wi-Fi, enters the password and completes an available update before moving on.
This is a short overview rather than an exhaustive troubleshooting session. The official AstroToo guide is useful for following the sequence on your own device, especially if an app or firmware version changes the screen wording.
Music comes with preset sound choices
CIPRIAN.B discusses phone playback over Bluetooth, local memory-card music and a compatible USB audio connection. He points out the distinction between a freely adjustable equalizer and the preset sound modes provided here. The modes offer choices, but they are not independent bass and treble sliders.
The video includes an extended music sample. He calls the sound good in his conclusion; no controlled comparison or measured output result is presented. The display remains part of the listening setup, with a waveform-style face visible during the demonstration.
Change faces to fit the place where it lives
After the sample, he returns to the interface and its animations. He browses preinstalled faces and photos, then describes the app’s wider choice of backgrounds, clock faces and personal content. In his hands, the directional control is the immediate way to move through the options already on the device.
The review is most persuasive as a desk-placement story: a face can make the object playful, information-led or quiet enough to blend with nearby accessories. His enthusiasm is about enjoying that changeable character every day, rather than demonstrating every calendar, AI or game feature.
The reservation is what that experience costs
CIPRIAN.B’s main criticism is price. He mentions roughly €200 in the recording and hopes discounts make it easier to justify. That is his historical price reference, not a current offer or a promise that a discount is always available.
Likewise, the roughly six-hour runtime and 3.5-hour charging figures are specifications discussed in the review, not timed tests carried out on camera. For a desk companion, the more relevant decision is whether you value the combination of display, tactile controls and music enough to pay for all three.
His answer is yes: he intends to keep it on the desk. If you share that preference for a visible, customizable tech object, his review explains the attraction well. If you primarily need basic audio, compare the current price with how often you will use the screen rather than assuming the extra features automatically make it better value.
