The Divoom Aurabox is a unique flavor that takes a Bluetooth speaker and crams it with extended functions.
What makes the Dvoom Aurabox so unique?
It is world’s first smart pixel speaker, and aside from having better than average sound quality it also can do these things…
- 100 rainbow colored LED’s display time and any pattern you program.
- Take calls as a handsfree speakerphone.
- Can be setup as an alarm clock.
- Shows app notifications and alerts from your phone.
- A built in temperature sensor can display room temperature.
Controlling the speaker
Straight out of the box you can just connect your phone and play, however, full functionality is achieved when you use their smartphone app.
With the buttons
The top buttons are etched into the surface and give you music, handsfree control and you can also switch between the preset lighting modes.
Using the app

All the advanced setup requires the use of an app, available for both Apple and Android . With it, you can create personal drawings as well as animations easily.

The Divoom Aurabox has an advanced notification system, you can program patterns for the LED’s to show when you receive alerts.
The alerts are great , especially if you keep your phone on silent or in vibrate mode. The connection is Bluetooth tho, so you still need to keep the phone nearby.

Battery Life?
The internal battery is rated for about 6 hours of playback, that is about average for a speaker, it if it is living on your desk, you can easily just leave it always plugged in for an endless stream of music and notifications.
Overall
There are so many speaker options out there all with similar specs. Divoom have done well to bring a splash of creativity and transform a regular speaker into so much more.
