DiVoom iTour Speaker Review
I don’t usually review non-photography-related items here in my blog but this is a great add-on to your photo gear.
Humans are all easily affected with environmental mood and music is a great way to change a mood of a photoshoot to turn a tense session to a fun-filled photoshoot.
Almost all of us own an MP3 player whether its a dedicated unit or coupled with our mobile phones, having music available on-the-fly is now a norm rather than an exception. In a shoot, having the ability to share our music collection with others at the same time is something our headphones can’t accomplish and the solution would be an external speaker system. The DiVoom iTour-10 is a mini speaker that packs a wallop and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
Most portable external speakers in the market for MP3 players are often bulky, requires external power, requires several batteries, or have a bunch of cords to contend with. The DiVoom iTour-10 solves all of those common issues in less than 2-inches of space.
The DiVoom iTour-10 (I’ll call it iTour hereon out) measures a small 50mm in diameter and 35mm in height when collapsed. The battery is integrated and rechargeable with the cord neatly tucked at the base of the speaker.

There’s a power switch that doubles as a volume control, a USB port for power charging, and an LED indicator.
Standard package includes a USB cord and three different mobile phone jacks: a standard mini 2.5mm aux jack, a Sony-Ericsson jack, and a Nokia jack. While the mini aux jack that’s attached to the speaker is short (3 inches), it can be easily extended with inexpensive female-to-male extension cords.
The unique aspect of this speaker is the sound. Twist the top part of the enclosure off and you’ll be presented with an accordion that connects the base and the actual speaker cone (which is made aluminum, I think). The accordion acts as a speaker enclosure, allowing more air pressure to move the speaker cone, which allows for more cone travel, which yields cleaner bass and volume.
Most small speakers suffer from tinning bass even at low volumes, the DiVoom iTour provides a reasonably solid frequency response for such a small package and it’s very usable even in busy city parks, for example.
Battery life is great, it lasts at least 5hrs with a low-to-medium volume setting (which is more than adequate in most cases) and the speaker suffers no strain even after prolonged use. Charging takes less than 4hrs if the battery is drained.
Going back to how it relates to photography, using the appropriate music allows your subject to relax and get into the theme of your photoshoot. If you’re shooting a romantic engagement session, for example, some romantic music can set the mood for your subjects to get more intimate with each other. Some kiddie tunes from popular cartoon shows can take out the fear of younger kids in front of the camera, while some rocking dance tunes can make subjects dance and pose more naturally when shooting casual portraits.
The iTour is so small, it slips into your camera bag’s side pocket and it’s always ready to provide seriously good tunes regardless of music genre. Go get a DiVoom iTour-10 to have some more fun in your photoshoots!

About David L. Tong
the volume/power switch of my itour-10 doesn’t work.It cannot be slide.
I can’t get my itour 20 to charge I left it on all night and its still red when i switch it on nothing happens think its broke
I brought ITour -70 from a dealer in San Antonio, using the itour-70 for just a few months it stopped working. So when i finally found the dealer that sold it to me. He looked at it assumed that it was tampered with, and informed me that it would costabout the same amount to send for repair as buying a new one or even giving me a new as the warranty stated , then blew me off. It seemed to me that the dealer, doesn't back his product or care about his customers. So make sure you saved our receipt or get a receipt. From reading other comment it seem that these products my have some gliches.
Good advice, thanks…

Rattly tinny sound. Its rubbish! Dont buy.
Please get something better than this if you dont want to offend your ears.
hey i lost the the thing that conects to ur ipod and to the divoom thing where can i buy one???????
Michel, it\’s just a basic male-female line-in cable you can pick up in most audio stores or computer stores. Where are you located at? Just search for something like this Aurum Cables 3.5mm Car Stereo Auxiliary Male to Female (Aux-in) Input Cable (Ideal for Car Aux in / Ipod, Ipod Touch / Iphone 3g + 3gs / Mp3, Ipad Sansa) Braided 6ft 2m
a very nice speaker , ipod speaker,
I just bought a Divoom iTour 20 and I was a bit disappointed that when the battery is about to be fully discharged, the LED light does not change colour or do anything to indicate that the battery is almost flat. Is it supposed to work that way though, which mean that I must keep watch of how much power I have used up and recharge every 5 hours without being noticed?
Strange, mine does Jesse. It turns from green to red when the battery is low… I almost always use the speaker hooked up with a short USB cord when it's connected to my laptop though. I honestly haven't used the speaker long enough with a portable MP3 player for over an hour or so.
whts the usb cable for
Charging the speaker
The Striker Headphonies portable speaker almost certainly some of those colorful desktop speaker which will remind you of one’s favorite team U.S. Soccer team inside the World Cup 2010.
Heya if I cannot locate the usb cable do you know the name of it and where I could get one please the Divoom website seems difficult to communicate with – I am in NZ
Hello, it's just a standard USB to mini-USB cable. You can get it from any computer stores, it doesn't have to be specific to this speaker, any USB-to-mini-USB cable will do.

Just charge when the LED turns red… When full, the light turns off… If you're using it with a computer, just keep the USB plugged, if desired.
How long should I be charging?
Should I charge everyday?
Where is the Challenger located at where you saw the speaker?
Funan, Tiong Bahru & Vivo all had a bunch.
Which challenger is it
In that case, just go to Challenger, I just saw a bunch of them yesterday.

How much is it ? Where to get it ?
Where are you based? It's pretty common in computer/electronics stores (like Challenger, Harvey Norman, etc.) here in Singapore. If I remember correctly, this should be around S$30 or so.
