Meet Bitty Boomers: Tiny Character Bluetooth Speakers With Surprisingly Big Sound
Hand someone a Bitty Boomer and watch what happens. They see a tiny Darth Vader or Mickey Mouse, smile, and set it on the desk. Then you hit play on your phone and it starts pumping out music. That double take is the whole fun of Bitty Boomers: collectible character figures that are also real wireless Bluetooth speakers, each about 2 inches tall.
We just added a lineup of Bitty Boomers mini Bluetooth speakers to Clean My Tech, featuring characters from Star Wars, Disney, Marvel and Minions, plus one presidential surprise. Here's everything you need to know: who makes them, what each one looks like, how they sound, how to pair them, and why they make such easy gifts.
What Are Bitty Boomers?
Bitty Boomers are ultra-portable Bluetooth speakers shaped like pop culture characters. The brand calls them "The Collectible with a Purpose," and that's a good description. They look great on a shelf, a nightstand, or next to your monitor, but they're not there to gather dust. Connect one to your phone, tablet or laptop and it plays your music, podcasts and videos.
The idea is simple. Most small speakers are plain black boxes. These have personality. You pick the character you love, and it happens to have a speaker inside.
The Company Behind Bitty Boomers
Bitty Boomers are made by Fabrique Innovations, Inc. of New York, which does business as Bitty Boomers. The brand has been selling its tiny speakers since 2018, and its motto, "Tiny Size. Huge Sound.", is printed right on the manual.
What makes the line stand out is the licensing. Bitty Boomers makes officially licensed characters from Star Wars, Marvel, Disney, Minions and many more fandoms, so the designs look like the characters fans actually know. Each one is sold as a specific, named character, which is exactly why so many fans end up wanting more than one.
Meet the Bitty Boomers Characters at Clean My Tech
Every speaker in our collection is $19.99. Here's the lineup.
Star Wars: Darth Vader and Stormtrooper
The Darth Vader Bitty Boomers speaker comes with his helmet, chest panel and a tiny red lightsaber in hand. It's a desk-sized Sith Lord who plays your playlist instead of the Imperial March (unless you queue it up, of course).
The Stormtrooper Bitty Boomers speaker is the classic white helmet in miniature. Put these two side by side and pair them for stereo sound, and you have a gift set any Star Wars fan will appreciate.
Disney: Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse
The Mickey Mouse Bitty Boomers speaker has the big round ears, the classic smile and the red shorts with white buttons. The Minnie Mouse Bitty Boomers speaker brings her red polka-dot bow and matching dress. They're cute on their own and even better as a pair.
Marvel: Spider-Man
The Spider-Man Bitty Boomers speaker is all red and blue with the web pattern and those big white eyes. It's a great pick for the Marvel fan who already has the posters, the shirts and the comics.
Minions: Bob
The Bob the Minion Bitty Boomers speaker has the goggles, the overalls and his two different-colored eyes. In the brand's own words, Bob is "ready to serve up any song your heart desires." Hard to argue with that.
Donald Trump
Yes, there's a Donald Trump Bitty Boomers speaker, complete with the famous hair, a red cap, and a suit and tie. It's a fun novelty piece for collectors and makes a memorable gag gift or desk conversation starter.

How Do Bitty Boomers Sound?
Let's set expectations honestly. A speaker this small isn't going to shake the walls or replace a big home speaker. What it does well is clear, surprisingly loud sound for its size. It's perfect for podcasts, audiobooks, YouTube videos and background music at your desk, in a dorm room or on a bedside table.
Bass is light, which is normal for any speaker that fits in your palm, and the sound is cleanest when you keep the volume a notch or two below max. The easy upgrade is to pair two. With a pair playing together, the sound gets noticeably fuller and spreads across the room.
How to Pair Bitty Boomers
Connect one Bitty Boomer to your phone
- Hold the power button for about 3 seconds until the blue light flashes quickly.
- Open the Bluetooth settings on your phone, tablet or laptop.
- Select "Bitty Boomer" from the list of devices.
- Listen for the tone that confirms you're connected, then press play.
Pair two Bitty Boomers for stereo sound
Good news: any two Bitty Boomers from our collection will pair together, so you can mix and match characters. A Vader and Stormtrooper duo or a Mickey and Minnie pair works perfectly.
- Make sure neither speaker is connected to a phone or tablet.
- Turn both Bitty Boomers on.
- Double-click the power button on one of them. A tone confirms the two speakers are linked.
- Connect your phone to just one of the speakers.
- Press play, and the audio comes out of both.
If they don't link on the first try, double-click the power button on the other speaker instead. You can pair up to two Bitty Boomers at a time.
Charging and Care Tips
- Charge with standard USB power. Use the included micro-USB cable with a computer USB port or a regular USB wall adapter. The brand recommends avoiding fast chargers. The light turns on while charging and turns off when it's full.
- Cable not fitting? The rounded shape can make the port tricky to line up. Flip the plug over and try again.
- Keep them dry. Bitty Boomers are not waterproof, so keep them away from sinks, pools and rain.
- Dust them gently. Wipe the figure with a dry microfiber cloth, like the ones in our screen cleaning collection, and skip liquid cleaners.
- Clear the grille and port. The dry cotton swabs and spudger pick in our Earbud Detail Kit are just the right size for gently lifting lint and dust out of the speaker grille and charging port.
Why Bitty Boomers Make Great Stocking Stuffers
At $19.99, Bitty Boomers hit the sweet spot for gifts: under $20, useful, and instantly recognizable. They work for kids, teens and adults, they fit in a stocking, and they're the kind of gift people actually keep on display.
Here's a tip for holiday shopping. Orders of $50 or more get free shipping plus a surprise gift, and three Bitty Boomers come to $59.97. Grab a stereo pair for one person and a third for someone else, and your shipping is covered.
