Do you have one or two Bluetooth speakers but both of them are neither powerful enough nor rugged, nor outdoor ready, nor splash-proof? The Divoom Voombox Party may be the speaker that does it all, on a budget of under $100.

Divoom Voombox Party Rugged Bluetooth Speaker Review: UNBOXING

As usual, let’s take take a look at the packaging, which does look fancy and inside of it you will find a micro USB cable, AUX cable for non-Bluetooth devices and some documentation.

Divoom Voombox Party Rugged Bluetooth Speaker Review: DESIGN

When it comes to the design, this is not a small Bluetooth speaker as it is about the size of a brick (233L x 54W x 103H mm) and it weighs 3.5 pounds or 1.6kg.

It is very well made and it uses quality metal and rubber materials.

Both sides of the Voombox Party have speakers inside as it uses a combo of whopping 5 sound drivers, which are capable of delivering 20W of sound output.

On the top we have a bunch of very clicky and tactile control buttons, which include volume up/down and call button as the speaker has a mic for hands-free calling. Lastly, there are Bluetooth and power buttons.

On the right there is a flap and underneath it you can find a micro USB port for charging and AUX input for non-Bluetooth devices.

The Voombox speaker also has NFC for easy pairing, which is always a nice feature to have.

Overall, the Divoom Voombox Party is built like I tank and it’s built to last. Also, the IP44 rating gives you solids and liquids protection for the outdoor use. That’s pretty cool.

20W of sound output that it coming out 5 custom made speakers are freaking loud and the sound is deep and very rich. Also, the built-in subwoofer with dual passive radiators provide a lot of bass that if you boost the bass setting on the equaliser of your player, the speaker will soon start moving.

Divoom Voombox Party Rugged Bluetooth Speaker Review: CONCLUSIONS

So here it is, the Divoom Voombox Party. It is a very powerful Bluetooth speaker that has been made with the outdoor use in mind due to its IP44 rating, which delivers ruggerised and splash-proof properties.

It is well worth $100 considering a high quality construction, 20W of sound output and NFC feature. Regarding connectivity, I found Bluetooth 4.0 working well as I had no range issues.

On the other hand, the playback time when listening to music at around 70% of volume was about 6.5-7 hours, which is not that impressive.

Other con is that the embedded mic does not assure the best call quality. You can make understandable conversations but people on the other end will notice that you are using hands-free immediately.

All in all, despite a few shortcomings, this is a true powerhouse for just under $100 and the VoomBox Party is definitely one of the best rugged and powerful Bluetooth speakers in this price range.

This is actually the second product made by Divoom I am checking out and I can say that they ship their items in a premium packaging, and the Aurabulb is no exception.

All you are getting is the micro USB cable, AUX cable and some documentation.

Divoom Aurabulb Smart Bluetooth Music Lamp Speaker: DESIGN AND FEATURES

Allright, so the Aurabulb is not your regular Bluetooth speaker as it has a lot more to offer. It comes in a shape of a huge light bulb, which is made of rubber and the bottom part is made of quality metal mesh material.

It has the rubberised control buttons, which include the power key, volume up/down, which also allow to skip tracks, play/pause button an the light key.

On the back side we have a micro USB charging port and the AUX input for non-Bluetooth devices.

The bottom is made of rubber, so the speaker doesn’t slide on the table.

If you don’t like the light bulb idea, you can easily take the rubber bulb part off and the speaker looks kind of nice without it. There is a light under the plastic and on the top there is a dedicated subwoofer.

Divoom Aurabulb Smart Bluetooth Music Lamp Speaker: FUNCTIONALITY

The Divoom Aurabulb is a really cool speaker as it has a full range RGB LED and you can adjust the colours, brightness of it and choose from a variety of different colour modes. Also, you can do it in a couple of ways. You may choose from the preset ones by pressing a light button on the speaker or you can download a free app either for Android or iOS to take a full manual control and get a lot more features.

The interface of the app is easy to use and here you can choose from tons of different colours and adjust the brightness or simply turn off the light. Also, you can select different modes of the light like flashing, pulse or rainbow effects. In each mode you man manually select colours and I think it is pretty cool.

Also, you can simply shake your device to change colours and that another fun part of this speaker.

In addition, the app has a music player but if you don’t like it, you can simply use your phone’s player.

There is also a sleep timer and the alarm clock and you can choose from different pre-loaded scenes to help you fall asleep or wake up in the morning.

Divoom Aurabulb Smart Bluetooth Music Lamp Speaker: SOUND QUALITY

I have to say that I am really impressed with the sound quality this tiny speaker can produce. For the size of the speaker, the sound has a good amount of depth, the mids and highs sound pretty good. Also, the bass is really powerful and the speaker is even having a hard time sitting on the table at the highest volume setting.

Speaking of which, I was impressed that the speaker didn’t make any crackling noises when playing music at the maximum volume. And yeah, the speaker is very loud.

Overall, I am really happy with the sound quality and the volume output the Aurabulb can produce.

Divoom Aurabulb Smart Bluetooth Music Lamp Speaker: CONCLUSIONS

Overall, the Divoom Aurabulb is a great product considering the feature set you are getting, a great build quality, awesome sound and volume output.

Also, this is not another Bluetooth speaker with some basic functionality as you can use the Aurabulb in a lot of different ways.

I could get about 5 hours of music playback, which is not really impressive but not the worst either considering the size of this gadget. A good thing is that the Bluetooth range has no issues at all.

However, the handsfree feature is not the best out there. Well, you can still make a conversation but the voice could sound more clearly.

Also, the price of $50 maybe a little bit too steep for some and I would say it could cost around $10 less. Still, you are getting a lot of extra features for the price and I don’t see major shortcomings that could be a deal breaker

When it comes to the Bluetooth speakers, the market is really crowded with a lot of them ranging from $10 to hundreds of dollars depending on what you really need. However, there is one common trend – all of them are becoming similar in terms of design, size and shape. The Divoom Aurabox is something that you may have not seen before.

We wanted to say thank you to Divoom for sending the Aurabox for a review. We suggest you visiting the product page for more detailed info.

Divoom Aurabox Bluetooth Speaker Review: UNBOXING

The speaker comes in a really premium box, which matches the $60 retail price of this speaker.

All you are getting in the box is a speaker itself, microUSB charging cable, AUX cable and some documentation.

Divoom Aurabox Bluetooth Speaker Review: DESIGN and FEATURES

What makes the Divoom Aurabox stand out from other speakers is that it has 100 highly customisable LED lights and I have to say they really look cool.

The speaker is not the smallest we’ve seen but it is very compact and lightweight. It has a good built quality but the choice of rubber all around the speaker makes it a fingerprint and dust magnet, and it is not that easy to clean it.

The Divoom Aurabox comes only with one speaker but it is large at the size 3” and it has 5W of power. Due to the unique design of this gadget, it is placed on the back.

On the bottom right corner we have a microUSB charging port along with the LED and the AUX input in case you want to connect a non-Bluetooth device.

The top side is full of controls. Here you can find a microphone for hands-free calling and I can say that the call quality is pretty good. Also, you can find a power switch, play/pause button, volume up/down, which also double as skip tracks buttons. Lastly, there is a light a mode button, which allows you to choose between the clock, the embedded real-time thermometer, different light modes or simply shuts down the LED lights.

Divoom Aurabox Bluetooth Speaker Review: THE APP

The Divoom Aurabox app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store (Android) or the App Store (iOS).

Please see the video review, where we walk through all the features of the app.

1 of 17

The fun doesn’t stop here as the Aurabox has an app, which adds a lot of functionality and customisation options. You can select what to display on the speaker’s display, which includes a lot of preset light modes and animations or you can select that LED’s will blink according to the music you play.

Speaking of which, the app has a very simple music player but you can also use your phone’s default player.

Also, there is a sleep timer as well as alarm and it allows you to choose between different music and light combos.

Once you go to the gallery, you can choose from tons of different images and a lot of cool looking animations.

If you still feel that you can’t find the one you like you can design your own image and even animation, which is really amazing! The interface is super easy and fun to use. You are given 8 different patterns and you can choose a different colour for each of them. This is something that is fun to play but as you can see I wasn’t too creative here.

In addition, you can receive a lot of different notifications like Facebook, messages or incoming calls. That’s pretty neat.

All in all, the creativity is endless here.

Divoom Aurabox Bluetooth Speaker Review: SOUND QUALITY

The Aurabox is really loud for the size of the speaker and it will easily fill even the largest rooms with sound. As far as the sound quality goes, it is quite impressive as it has quite a lot of depth, a decent amount of mids and a good amount of bass. However, since the speaker is located at the back, the highs are not pronounced enough and could be a bit sharper. Also, either the subwoofer or the speaker grill starts making a few cracking noises at the highest volume setting once you play songs with a good amount of bass. A good thing is that listening to music at around 80-90% of volume setting easily fixes this issue.

Divoom Aurabox Bluetooth Speaker Review: CONCLUSIONS

So here it is, the Aurabox by Divoom. These 100 LED lights with tons of different customisation options make this speaker stand out from the crowded Bluetooth speaker market.

Also, the features like the clock, thermometer, alarm clock and sleep timer add the functionality we don’t see on all the Bluetooth speakers, especially in this price range.

The app is responsive and easy to use and a great thing is that you can choose between different modes straight from the speaker itself.

The sound quality is definitely good for a price except the fact that some cracking noises may kick in once you play the music at the loudest volume setting. Other than that you may actually be surprised by the depth of sound this tiny speaker can produce.

The battery life could be better though. Well, I could get up to 5.5 hours of music playback but it was with the LED lights off. Once you keep them turned on, you may get just around 3 hours. Well, it is not really impressive but this is a trade-off needed to be made to power up a a huge speaker and 100 of LED lights.

All in all, the Divoom Aurabox is a great buy despite a few shortcomings. If you are looking for a Bluetooth speaker that does a lot more and it is really fun to use, this may be for you and I believe the speaker is worth $60 price tag.
