If you’re shopping for a quirky last-minute holiday gift, this adorable Retro Pixel Art Bluetooth Speaker needs to be on your radar. Amazon has it listed for one of its best prices of the year right now, and since the customizable speaker also serves as an alarm clock and white noise machine, it’s a fun purchase at $70 (was $90). Amazon’s discount started on Black Friday and continues through Cyber Monday; however, the Cyber Monday event ends at 11:59 PM PT on December 1, so you have just a few more hours to cash in on this offer.
$70 (was $90)
Available in five different styles (all of which are on sale), the Retro Pixel Art Bluetooth Speaker is quite popular with buyers. Sitting with nearly 11,000 reviews on Amazon, it’s holding down an impressive 4.6 stars. Along with serving as a Bluetooth speaker, you can customize the pixel art on its display using the attached mini keypad. There’s also a companion app where you can quickly adjust your settings–or download artwork from other users. So even if you’re not the most artistic person on the planet, you can still get a fun design for the speaker.
For playing music, you can connect via Bluetooth, USB, or microSD card. Beyond looking adorably retro and blasting tunes, the device also works as a white noise machine, a timer, and an alarm clock with 12 wake-up sounds. And since it gets around 8 hours of battery life on a charge, you can use it throughout your home before needing to plug in at night.
The same company responsible for the Retro Pixel Art Bluetooth Speaker also makes a few other cool speakers. A cheaper alternative is the Classic Gaming PC Style Speaker, which is just $56 (was $70). It’s designed to look like (surprise!) a retro computer, though its display isn’t designed for pixel art. Instead, you can use it as a digital picture frame. There’s also the TimeBox Evo, which offers a similar pixel grid as that of the Retro Pixel Art Speaker, but it’s housed inside a minimalist black frame. It’s available for $38.20 (was $70).
Looking for a Bluetooth speaker that’s a bit more traditional? The Amazon Echo Dot Max is on sale for $90 (was $100), and the Amazon Echo Dot is just $32 (was $50). The former features a built-in 0.8-inch tweeter and 2.5-inch woofer, while the latter comes with a 1.73-inch front-firing speaker. The Echo Dot Max is a better choice for large spaces, though the affordable Echo Dot will work just fine for a home office or bedroom.
