Sometimes you just want the vibe: lights off, TV on, couch snacks lined up. Maybe you don’t have a 65-inch TV or a speaker to carry around, but you’ve got a blank wall and decent WiFi. Aurzen’s BOOM Mini, launching at CES 2025, is designed for exactly that kind of night—and it’s a lot smarter (and smaller) than it looks.
So, What’s New About the BOOM Mini?
The BOOM Mini is a scaled-down remix of Aurzen’s popular BOOM 3 Projector. While the OG version made waves for its sleek design and built-in surround sound, the BOOM Mini trims the size and weight—about 20% smaller—without losing the features that made the first one binge-worthy.
The BOOM Mini gets a squarer profile, making it easier to pack, shelf, or perch awkwardly on your windowsill. The new version keeps the iconic speaker exposure, turning it into a statement piece rather than something to hide behind your TV.
The BOOM 3 Project weighed in at 6.2 lbs and measured 8.7 x 5.3 x 5.3 inches. The Mini clocks in at 4.4 lbs and around 7.1 x 5.1 x 5.1 inches—so while it’s not pocketable, it’s backpack-friendly. It feels made for the Airbnb-hopping, picnic projector generation.
BOOM Mini as a 4-in-1 Vibe Machine
What really sets the BOOM Mini apart is how multipurpose it is. While BOOM 3 was a solid 3-in-1 (projector, smart TV, speaker), the Mini levels up to a 4-in-1 setup that fits more seamlessly into daily life:
-
Projector—Full HD 1080p resolution, 500 ANSI lumens, and ToF-powered auto focus and keystone correction. It gets the picture aligned and sharp in under 3 seconds, even if you nudge it.
-
Smart TV—With Google TV built-in, it gives you instant access to over 10,000 apps. No dongles or workarounds. Just open the interface and start streaming Severance, The White Lotus, or whatever your current obsession is.
-
Bluetooth Speaker — The dual 10W rear-facing speakers with Dolby Audio aren’t just for shows. Thanks to two-way Bluetooth, you can stream music from your phone straight to the BOOM Mini, turning it into a standalone Dolby-certified speaker for chill playlists, background lo-fi, or full party mode. You can also connect it to external speakers when you want even bigger sound—versatility both ways
-
Casting Hub—With native Google Cast, you can wirelessly mirror from Android or iOS. Whether you’re casting a YouTube deep-dive, a friend’s Instagram reel, or streaming directly from apps, it’s quick and seamless.
-
And then there’s the adjustable gimbal stand. This part is genius. It lets you angle the Mini up to 110° vertically, which means you can project onto a ceili
-
ng, a weirdly angled wall, or a slanted tent surface.
Who Might Love This?
If you:
-
Live in a tiny apartment with no space for a full TV setup
-
Do outdoor movie nights on your rooftop or backyard
-
Want something more aesthetic than functional tech clutter
-
Travel often or create video content on-the-go
…then this is for you.
It’s giving “I have a portable lifestyle but still care about sound quality and good UI.”
At $349.99, it’s an interesting price point—cheaper than most 4K projectors but far more feature-rich than those $100 pocket ones that struggle to be visible in dim light.
The Aurzen BOOM Mini is the kind of device that feels tailor-made for apartments, road trips, and creative setups. It’s got smart streaming baked in, surprisingly powerful sound, and a look that doesn’t scream “tech gadget.” It’s like if a speaker and a projector had a stylish baby—and that baby came with Google TV and Dolby.
Its launch at CES 2025 puts it right in line with the trend of “downsized but no-compromise tech.” If the OG BOOM was the flex projector, the Mini is its portable sibling that knows how to party.
