Our Verdict
I recently spent time testing the Divoom B-Beetle, a tiny speaker that leans heavily into its retro aesthetic. It aims to bridge the gap between a cute desk ornament and a functional audio device, and I was eager to see if its performance matched its striking appearance.
Performance & Build Quality
Despite weighing only 103g, the build quality feels surprisingly solid, utilizing a chassis that feels durable enough for daily commutes. The retro design doesn't compromise the high-res sound output, which delivers a full-range experience that is clear and punchy for its size.
Day-to-Day Experience
Setting up the Bluetooth 5.1 connection was seamless, and the addition of FM radio and TF card support gives it a versatility that many standard Bluetooth speakers lack. It slips easily into a bag or pocket, and the 8-hour battery life comfortably handled my workday without needing a recharge.
This speaker is ideal for style-conscious users or gift-givers looking for a compact, feature-rich audio companion that stands out from the standard tech crowd.
Final Thoughts
The Divoom B-Beetle succeeds as both a fashion statement and a reliable speaker, earning a solid 4.67/5 rating. While there are cheaper options on the market, the combination of the retro design and the $79.00 price tag makes it a worthwhile investment for those who value form just as much as function.
