If you are looking at Divoom retro pixel speakers, you have probably noticed two that look surprisingly similar: the Ditoo-Pro and the MiniToo. Both pack a pixel LED display, play Bluetooth audio, and let you create custom pixel art through the Divoom app. Both look like something pulled out of a 1980s arcade in the best possible way. And with just a ten-dollar gap between them ($79.99 for the Ditoo-Pro and $69.99 for the MiniToo), it is tempting to treat this as a simple budget question.
But here is the thing — these two speakers are not competing for the same spot on your desk. They are designed for different setups, different priorities, and different kinds of pixel art fans. The real question is not which one is better. It is which one fits your space, your sound expectations, and the way you want to use it.
The Full-Size Pixel Experience: Ditoo-Pro
The Divoom Ditoo-Pro is what you get when you want your pixel speaker to be a real presence on your desk. Shaped like a miniature retro PC, it comes with actual mechanical keyboard-style keys and a tiny joystick — not just for show, but for navigating pixel animations, flipping through clock faces, and playing the built-in mini games without reaching for your phone.
Under the hood, the Ditoo-Pro packs a 15W DSP-tuned speaker that fills a room with clean, bass-rich sound. This is not a casual desktop companion — it is a legitimate Bluetooth speaker that happens to double as a pixel art display. You can stream music, dial into FM radio stations, set alarms, run a Pomodoro timer, or let white noise fill your workspace during focus hours.
The 16x16 pixel LED display on the front does everything you would expect from a Divoom pixel screen — custom animations, scrolling messages, dynamic clock faces, and music visualizers that pulse along with your playlist. Through the Divoom app, you get access to over 1,000 community-designed pixel artworks, or you can create your own from scratch.
Best for: desk setups with enough room for a statement piece. The Ditoo-Pro stands about as tall as a smartphone and takes up a solid palm-sized footprint, so it works best on a desk, shelf, or gaming station where you want both sound quality and visual personality. Available in five colors — white, pink, black, green, and blue — so you can match it to your existing setup.
The Compact Pixel Charm: MiniToo
The Divoom MiniToo takes the opposite approach. It is tiny — genuinely palm-sized — and designed around a vintage TV aesthetic that makes it look more like a toy from a 1980s electronics catalog than a modern Bluetooth speaker. And that is exactly its charm.
MiniToo trades the Ditoo-Pro mechanical controls and 15W driver for something more important in its own way: portability, gifting polish, and a lower-entry price. The 1.77-inch pixel display handles custom pixel art, animations, scrolling text, and clock faces just like its bigger sibling. It packs alarms, white noise, a Pomodoro timer, reminders, and built-in pixel games. All of it fits in the palm of your hand.
One feature the MiniToo does differently: it ships in a gift-ready box with customizable pixel greetings. If you are buying a pixel speaker for someone else — a friend who loves retro aesthetics, a partner who needs a cheerful desk companion, or a student moving into a dorm — the MiniToo arrives already looking like a present. You can set a personal pixel message before handing it over.
Best for: small desks, bedside tables, snug gaming nooks, and anyone who values space over volume. It also fits naturally into a gift scenario — the packaging and pixel greeting feature make it feel more thoughtful than a standard electronics box. Available in cream and pink.

Which One Should You Choose?
The right choice comes down to your space, your audio expectations, and whether you are buying for yourself or as a gift. Here is a straightforward breakdown:
Choose Ditoo-Pro if:
- Your desk has enough space for a retro PC-sized speaker that makes a visual statement
- You want room-filling audio quality — 15W makes a real difference for music and gaming
- You enjoy physical controls: mechanical keys, a joystick, and tactile feedback feel more engaging than touch-only interaction
- You would use FM radio or want the widest selection of built-in tools (Pomodoro, white noise, alarms, mini games, all accessible without the app)
- You want more color options to match your existing setup
Choose MiniToo if:
- Your desk, nightstand, or shelf space is limited — the MiniToo fits in your palm and looks natural in tight spots
- You are buying a gift and want it to arrive ready to impress with a custom pixel greeting
- You prefer a simpler, app-driven experience over physical buttons and joysticks
- You want a portable pixel speaker that can move from desk to bedside to backpack without effort
- You love cute, compact design and do not need high-volume audio for your space
Why Not Both? The MiniToo + Ditoo-Pro Bundle
If you cannot decide — or if you want the full retro pixel speaker experience across multiple setups — there is a MiniToo + Ditoo-Pro Summer Pixel Art Bundle that pairs both speakers at a bundled price of $149.98 (regularly $179.97, saving you $29.99).
This works especially well if you want the Ditoo-Pro on your main desk for music and gaming audio, while the MiniToo sits on your bedside table as a compact alarm clock and pixel art display. Or keep one at home and gift the other. The bundle gives you both products with one checkout and a noticeable discount.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can MiniToo display custom pixel art?
Yes. MiniToo supports custom pixel art, animations, scrolling text, and clock faces through the Divoom app, just like the Ditoo-Pro. You can create your own designs or browse the community gallery.
Is Ditoo-Pro louder than MiniToo?
Yes. The Ditoo-Pro has a 15W DSP-tuned speaker designed for room-filling sound with noticeable bass. MiniToo uses a standard Bluetooth speaker driver — adequate for close-range listening on a desk or nightstand, but not comparable in volume or richness.
Can I use Ditoo-Pro or MiniToo without the Divoom app?
Basic functions like Bluetooth music playback and FM radio (Ditoo-Pro only) work without the app. However, custom pixel art, animations, clock face changes, and most smart features require the free Divoom app to create and sync content to the display.
Which one is better for a small desk or nightstand?
MiniToo is the better fit for small surfaces. Its palm-sized retro TV design takes up very little space and still delivers pixel art, alarms, and Bluetooth audio. The Ditoo-Pro, while compact for its features, needs more desk real estate to feel comfortable.
Is MiniToo portable enough to carry around?
Yes. MiniToo is genuinely palm-sized and light enough to slip into a bag or backpack. It works well as a travel companion for hotel desks, coworking spaces, or moving between rooms at home.
Can I connect both Ditoo-Pro and MiniToo to the same phone?
Yes. Both speakers connect via standard Bluetooth. You can pair them alternately with the same phone, and manage both through the Divoom app to switch pixel art and settings between devices.

Whether you go with the full-size retro PC experience of the Ditoo-Pro, the compact pixel charm of the MiniToo, or both through the Summer Pixel Art Bundle, you are getting a pixel speaker that brings personality to any space.
