I recently spent some time testing the Divoom B-Beetles, a mini speaker that leans heavily into its adorable, retro insect-inspired aesthetic. While its look suggests a toy, I wanted to see if the internal components could actually hold their own for daily music listening and radio playback.
Despite weighing only 103g, the build feels remarkably solid and tactile, avoiding the hollow plastic sensation found in many budget mini speakers. The full-range driver delivers surprisingly crisp audio for its small footprint, and the inclusion of micro-SD support adds a level of versatility that many portable speakers at this size omit.
Pairing via Bluetooth 5.1 is instantaneous, and the battery life holds up well for an entire workday of background music. Using the hands-free microphone for quick calls is a convenient addition, though its best use remains as a bedside or desk radio that keeps your environment looking colorful and fun.
This is an ideal gift for students or anyone who prioritizes desk aesthetics and portable, casual listening over heavy-duty sound systems.
With an impressive 4.67 rating, the Divoom B-Beetles manages to be both a functional piece of audio gear and a delightful conversation starter. It sits at a $79.00 price point that is fair for those who value the unique design and the reliable performance it provides.
