😑 Honey Play Box Melody Vibrator: Buzzy Balls – Product Review (2025)
Sep
With a shape reminiscent of a musical note, the Honey Plax Box Melody vibrator has two vibrating balls for g-spot stimulation and a vibrating clitoral arm for external stimulation. Its unique shape piqued my curiosity, so I tried it and had mixed feelings. Here’s my full take on the Melody.
The Melody Vibrator at a Glance
Pros: Comfortable fit, silky-smooth silicone, waterproof, and very quiet.
Cons: App has some cool features but is a little wonky in some respects. Not rumbly enough for me personally.
| Modes | Noise Level | Charge | Run Time | Dimensions | Warranty | Waterproof |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 Vibrating Modes | 26-27dB | 1.5 hrs | 45 minutes | 3.9” (insertable) 1.67″ wide at larger ball’s widest point | 1 year | Yes |
Unboxing & Inspection
The Melody vibe comes in a lightweight box and includes an “App Guide”, user manual, magnetic USB charging cable, and a sizeable beige drawstring storage bag. The Melody’s shaft is super bendy for a comfortable fit. The base of the external arm is rigid, but the raised clit nub and tip are both a little bit squishy. It’s coated in silky soft silicone and is fully waterproof.
You power on the toy by holding down the raised honeybee button on the base. From here, you can either pair it with the app or press the same button again to run through the 9 vibration modes manually. The modes are alternating combinations of vibrations from ball to ball to external arm.

My Experience with the Melody Vibe
What I like best about the Melody is unfortunately one of its only redeeming qualities: it is very comfortable and ergonomically shaped. It fits my body almost perfectly, with the clitoral arm cupping me and the clitoral nub resting perfectly on the middle of my clit. As I experimented with the Melody, I LONGED for the clitoral nub to do more; throb, vibrate stronger… anything. The Melody is a buzzy, albeit quiet vibrator. It is not strong. If you want rumbles and strong clit stimulation, check out Womanizer products like the Blend (one of my all-time favorites). The SVibe Gizi is a close second, especially since I sometimes struggle to find toys with the right length of clitoral arm, and the Gizi is super comfortable and adjustable. I digress.
Manually operating the Melody is thankfully simple: just hold the honeybee button down to power on/off and press it to cycle through its 9 modes. There is more to do on the app, and that’s how I personally prefer to use it. The reason for this is that the honeybee button requires a very firm and intentional push during use. This means that you must 1) locate the button by feel and 2) have the right angle and dexterity to press it firmly enough to activate. With no visibility of the button and increasing slickness during play, it’s difficult to control the Melody manually.
The Melody’s app controls offer more options and ease of control (although it’s lacking in some ways; described below). You can sync to music downloaded to your device or operate the internal and external arms independently with the “Free Touch” mode. While these are interesting options, they don’t always work properly.
My two main gripes with the app are its confusing interface and unreliability. The toy’s responsiveness to app controls is very touch-and-go.
App Interface: Sometimes Confusing
At the time this article was written, connecting a compatible toy to the Honey Play Box app is easy enough. However, once you’ve connected, you might find yourself back at the “Connect” screen again if you’re exploring and tap the “Home” icon while getting your bearings. This is annoying. As you cruise through modes, sometimes the “active” icon shown on the bottom toolbar gets stuck, so it’s a bit misleading to look down and see that you’re supposedly in “Free Touch” mode while you’re really experimenting with Pressure Control or Music Syncing.
An AI persona was recently added, which sort of takes a role as therapist/friend, I guess? You can voice record your questions, and the AI persona responds. Surely there is a long-term plan for this feature, but for now it seems incomplete.
The app has “Waveform” (aka pattern creation), but when revisiting the app after some time off, I couldn’t actually remember how to create more patterns and could only access the ones I had previously created (…somehow).
“Free Touch” is my favorite feature, and through my testing, it’s the one I’ve found to be most responsive. It allows you to toggle the vibrating balls and clitoral nub however you like, with the option to loop certain patterns and kind of go on autopilot once you settle on a good combination.
App Controls: Lacking Responsiveness
Honey Play Box had lots of good ideas, but the app functions as though it was rushed. The toy doesn’t always work reliably with the app controls, and the parts of the app that visualize the vibrations/patterns are often delayed. This makes the app experience feel a bit dull and labored.
“Pressure Sensing Mode” is intended to sense when and how much your body squeezes the toy, which is useful if you’re doing Kegel exercises. Unfortunately, this didn’t work for me except when I squeezed firmly with my hand.
The Music Sync feature is a great idea; I love just putting on a favorite track and vibing out without having to think much about creating a pattern. While the Melody vibrator is somewhat synced to the music, it is limited in how precisely it can match songs. It seems to only pick up on simple rhythms, so the vibration patterns created by songs all feel very similar. I hoped for a little more variation.
I do appreciate the inclusion of Voice Commands for accessibility, but they are not very responsive or easy to locate in the app.
Final Thoughts
The Honey Play Box Melody vibrator is an interesting take on a dual stim vibrator that I found to be a pretty comfortable fit. However, I wanted so much more from the clitoral nub, and I’d love to see a little more polish added to the app.
