The Divoom AstroToo gives you music and a changing desktop display, but how much can you do before opening its app? In NoodleNick’s review, the first music session and built-in clock faces work before he connects Wi-Fi or installs the app. Personal pictures, a larger face gallery and keyboard lighting adjustments come afterward.
That sequence makes this a useful first look for someone who wants an expressive Bluetooth desk speaker without starting with every setting. Nick is most enthusiastic about the sound, clickable controls and the way it looks on a shelf. Divoom supplied the products shown in the video.
The physical controls are part of the appeal
The AstroToo looks like a miniature space terminal: a screen above three mechanical-style playback keys, a directional joystick and a separate back button. Nick repeatedly returns to how satisfying the keys feel. They turn everyday actions such as adjusting volume and pausing music into something you can do by touch.
His hardware tour also finds the microSD/TF card slot, mode and power keys, and USB-C connection. The braided USB-C cable and stickers complete the unboxing, but the important point for daily use is the control layout: playback and navigation have physical controls rather than requiring a touchscreen.
Built-in faces and Bluetooth playback come first
At the desk, Nick explicitly says he has not used the app or Wi-Fi yet. He cycles through the installed faces, including a campsite scene, animals and an astronaut, and notices a display responding to his voice. The screen already has a visual role before any personal content is added.
Next he connects his phone over Bluetooth and plays music, using the phone as well as the speaker’s front controls. He finds it loud at a relatively low setting, then raises it for a more exuberant listening demonstration. His strong praise for the bass and overall sound is a listening impression from this session; the video does not provide a measured frequency-response test.
This is the straightforward starting point: pair a phone for audio and use an installed face. Wi-Fi becomes useful when you want connected information and new content, rather than being a prerequisite for this demonstrated Bluetooth listening session.
The app changes what the screen can show
After installing the app, Nick moves into face selection and personal images. A picture of him appears on the AstroToo, showing the difference between browsing built-in themes and putting your own content on the screen. The phone gallery also makes it easier to choose a specific face instead of stepping through them on the device.
The face gallery includes calendar, market information and character themes. Nick browses the calendar connection and other categories, but does not complete a detailed calendar-sync test. The demonstrated takeaway is the choice of layouts; it is not proof that every integration has been configured in this video.
The community tab offers a different kind of personalization: other people’s artwork and animations. He selects examples on the phone and shows them on the speaker. If the terminal-style dashboard is too busy for your room, an illustration or looping animation can make the same device feel more like a small piece of decor.
Set the screen and keyboard lighting separately
Nick finishes the customization tour with RGB effects. He tries several patterns, including a rainbow effect and a slower infinity-style cycle, and changes keyboard brightness independently from screen brightness. This matters when you like the display but want the controls to be a quieter visual accent.
His preferred result is something he can leave in the room or use in a creator’s background. The appeal is not just that it plays audio: its visible content can keep contributing to the setting after the music stops.
Who will enjoy this version of a desk speaker?
Nick’s review makes the clearest case for people who enjoy playful tech objects and want usable sound alongside the display. Start with Bluetooth and a built-in face; add personal photos or community artwork when you want the AstroToo to reflect your own interests.
The review spends little time on timers, games or long-term battery use, so those are not the basis of his recommendation. The Times Frame unboxing and giveaway are a separate part of the original video, not AstroToo functionality or a current promotion attached to this article.
Two source codes, with different benefits
Nick’s description lists NOODLENICK for 10% off and AST40 for US$40 off AstroToo. As checked on October 22, 2026, both are active in the store and apply to this model. AST40 is configured to end on November 1, 2026 at 07:00 UTC, with no minimum purchase requirement.
