May 30, 2025
You can buy a bluetooth speaker with a clock, but Divoom's gone a bit wild with its completely programmable 121-pixel bright LED Timebox Mini device. The entire front of the unit can show the time, but it can also show a thousand other things, from emoji your friend sends you to social media message notifications. Games and a surprisingly competent sleep sounds machine are included, as is a massive gallery of fan art and a utility that lets you create your own pixel art or even pixel art animations. Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ gives the Divoom Timebox-Mini a whirl, shows off all its most entertaining features and declares it one of the most amusing and fun gadgets on the market! Pick one up at Amazon: http://amzn.to/2oTsoYu

the time boox mini the most entertaining
0:02
Bluetooth speaker you'll ever
0:06
[Music]
0:11
buy Dave Taylor here and I want to talk
0:14
about Bluetooth speakers that's what
0:16
this is oh hang on I need to turn it on
0:20
and off and on clap on clap off right
0:24
there you know how fun this is but this
0:28
deom time box mini is way more fun than
0:31
that with its 121 extremely bright
0:34
little pixels let's turn it on again
0:37
come on turn
0:38
on there we
0:40
go it actually does a whole ton of
0:42
different things in fact it's like the
0:44
speaker was an afterthought comes with
0:46
an app and as I'll show you the app has
0:48
tons of features but let's start out
0:50
with music because that's what I'm
0:53
talking about so let's do some music on
0:54
it
1:00
so it's not the best speaker in the
1:02
universe but quite frankly it's not bad
1:05
with its little 5 wat 2in speaker in
1:08
this unit as you can see the unit
1:10
itself's quite small let me do it
1:12
against
1:14
there but let me pause that but of
1:17
course there's so much more you can do
1:19
cuz really this device is a lot more
1:21
about the screen than it is about the
1:23
speaker so like I said 121 pixels and
1:28
has this huge gallery of different art
1:30
you can see here here's just some
1:33
examples of some of what it ships with
1:35
there's just a ton of stuff some of
1:38
which are actually animated let's find
1:41
an entertaining animation let's try this
1:46
one and this is called Lego not great
1:50
here's
1:52
fire and you know they're just it's just
1:55
really fun goofiness here and you can
1:59
actually not only do all of this let's
2:01
do one more I like this there's a
2:03
Breakout game so you know it's animated
2:07
frames so it's not actually playing the
2:09
game Breakout but it's pretty fun more
2:12
importantly it can be a clock cuz that's
2:14
handy and you can choose and again you
2:18
know it's a little hard for you to see
2:20
there is a rainbow of colors you can
2:22
just choose and we'll go from what color
2:25
are we on here that's green let's go
2:28
from Green to a brighter green or maybe
2:32
we'll go to yellow yellow is good
2:36
and just just a ton of crazy things you
2:39
can do one of the things I most like
2:42
about this device is that it has 30
2:44
different sleep sounds and these sleep
2:47
sounds are really well done so let's try
2:50
doing a
2:54
thunderstorm and in the app itself as
2:57
you can see it gives you access to a
3:00
warmth of the color you can have the
3:02
screen on and off as part of this how
3:05
long you want it actually to be until it
3:07
turns itself off you can change
3:09
brightness you can change volume let's
3:11
make this a little louder so you can get
3:13
it more of a
3:16
feel our thunderstorms not going far we
3:19
can try
3:25
frogs now I'm a little curious oh did
3:28
you see that that was cuz a Facebook
3:30
message came in one of the other really
3:32
cool things you can do with this is you
3:34
can set it up so it's social media
3:35
notifications too but these frogs very
3:39
pleasant um you can also do you can do
3:47
lullabi it's not making me sleepy or the
3:50
slightly creepy
3:53
one whose voice is that tell me that 3
3:57
in the morning hearing this would not
3:59
fre you
4:01
out but okay we're going to leave you
4:03
alone now honey bye um another thing you
4:08
can do is it has a little art palet so
4:11
as I draw you can see it shows up on the
4:15
device I showed this to my 13-year-old
4:18
and she was super hooked she was like oh
4:21
my God I can do all sorts of things all
4:23
by myself custom designs and the answer
4:26
is you really can you can do animations
4:28
we can go back to the gallery and we can
4:30
do a heart how nice that is and let's
4:35
see what I was going to tell you it has
4:36
alarm capabilities there's a couple of
4:38
games included with it um it has a
4:42
microphone so you can use it actually
4:44
for a speaker phone and there are
4:46
controls on the top and controls on the
4:49
side it's sort of a rubberized sides on
4:51
it and the front is glass so it's very
4:55
nice let's go back to the clock so you
4:58
know what time it is right now correct
5:00
and let's see what else um it has game
5:03
scores I have to see if I can remember
5:04
how to find that
5:08
uh where are game scores on this the
5:11
interface is not fantastic if I can say
5:14
so and it can do with a little bit of a
5:18
change on the software but it's still
5:20
just lots of fun so here's one where
5:22
it's dice so
5:25
[Music]
5:29
so it's 1d6 as people say in the gaming
5:34
world and let's see what else
5:39
um there's a racing game where
5:44
you have steer by using the plus and
5:49
minus and this is not super hard and
5:53
it's obviously not running super fast
5:55
but that's okay oh I died so sad
6:01
but you know seriously this is like a
6:04
clock this is a little tiny clock that
6:07
happens to have a little Bluetooth
6:08
speaker and they've just made it super
6:10
fun there's just it's just super
6:12
entertaining there's lots of really neat
6:14
things you can do with it and I
6:16
love the clap on clap
6:19
off it actually seems to work better
6:22
when you're across the room I'm not sure
6:24
how that works um has the buttons it is
6:27
battery powered and it
6:31
is there we go uh battery powered and it
6:34
runs about 8 hours on a battery charge
6:36
if you're listening to music and doing
6:38
all sorts of stuff I suspect if you just
6:40
have it in clock mode it runs later or
6:42
runs longer um it's a 2500 milliamp hour
6:45
battery and takes about 3 hours from
6:48
zero to full charge depending on what
6:50
kind of charger you're using and it's
6:54
not going to be any revelatory thing
6:56
it's not going to be something that's
6:57
going to change your world but boy it's
7:00
just goofy fun and having this sitting
7:02
on your
7:03
desk or having this for a teenager who
7:06
wants to play with programming that more
7:08
Facebook stuff coming in um can just be
7:11
really entertaining and there's actually
7:13
something that they call pixel messenger
7:16
so you can actually connect with someone
7:18
else and they can send images to show up
7:21
on your screen so that would be kind of
7:23
fun you and your bestie you're sending
7:25
each other little smilees throughout the
7:27
day sort of like the Apple watch but
7:30
maybe a more Square version of it it
7:34
does work when it's plugged in I already
7:36
tried that so you can leave it on all
7:37
the time as a clock if you want never
7:39
have to worry about the charge and so
7:41
the only other thing to talk about is
7:44
clap on subscribe to my channel you
7:48
don't have to clap when you do it but go
7:49
ahead and subscribe and then the only
7:52
other thing left to talk about with this
7:54
deom time box mini is the price and it's
7:57
really pretty darn affordable in fact
7:59
it's started out at
8:00
$69.99 but now when I last checked
8:03
amazon.com it's 49 bucks so 49 bucks for
8:08
a really surprisingly entertaining
8:10
little Gadget and I really like it
8:13
actually this might be one that just
8:15
lives on our mantle and just with the
8:17
clap on clap off and the notifications
8:20
and all the different pictures and the
8:22
travel s you know the sounds for travel
8:25
and stuff it's actually surprisingly
8:27
cool and really much more interesting
8:30
than I thought it would be so it's
8:33
coming on
8:35
midnight I'll do this so you can hear it
8:38
better and this is Dave Taylor and I'll
8:41
catch you in my next video
