Pill - Wireless Bluetooth Speaker with AppleCare+ (2 Years) - Matte Black

This is my third Beats pill, first of this new generation. It's a bit smaller, lighter and easier to carry around, especially with the new wrist strap. It sounds amazing, right along with what you come to expect from Beats and Apple, it doesn't disappoint. The biggest difference I've noticed is how quickly it pairs with devices compared to previous models. It's also incredibly easy to switch between devices after the initial pairing of each; I just start playing whatever media on iphone, ipad, or macbook and then select the pill for the output and it connects in a second. It also now shows up on Find My along with your other devices, and from my understanding, works the same as an AirTag which is pretty cool. The only downside is the power button. It took a while to get used to and sometimes I still wind up trying two or three times to power it up or down because I didn't hold it down long enough. I've also had an issue where the audio cuts out for a couple seconds here and there but haven't pinned down the cause of the interference. Overall it's a solid speaker, great sound, very loud for its size, longer battery life and better connectivity. They're even cheaper than the previous model and go on sale often so you can't go wrong.

This is the best speaker I have ever had! The color is vibrant and bright. Personally, the red is my favorite but they all are so vibrant and saturated, and don’t get me started on the sound quality. The sound quality this is by far better than any speaker I have ever owned or heard! It is super easy to use and automatically pairs to iPhone. For the price, the sound quality is truly just astonishing. It is super easy to bring along, and the strap on it is super strong and can be jostled around without breaking. The battery life is also amazing. I usually use it in lower volume, but it lasts 40 hours easily when fully charged and I have seen it go to 50! It works better than described and really feels like the artist is singing right in front of me with the highly advanced sound quality. This is truly the best speaker to have ever existed and it would be a mistake not to buy it.

I’m honestly impressed with the Beats Pill. The sound quality is way better than I expected for its size—clear vocals, punchy bass, and no distortion even at high volume. It fills the room easily, and the Bluetooth connection is super quick and stable. The battery life lasts for hours, which makes it perfect for the beach, workouts, or just having it around the house. The design is sleek and lightweight, so it’s easy to carry around, and it feels solid and well-made. Overall, this speaker delivers powerful sound in a compact package. Definitely worth it!

Amazing and powerful speaker. Great sound quality and enjoy the integration with Apple, to see battery level and other options. Battery seems ok right now, but I'm only using for home use so fine with it. Highly recommended.

I bought these for my sons for Christmas, and they rock out every day now! The Beats Pill, for its small footprint, has a HUGE sound! The bass is great, the vocals are crisp, and you can carry this around with you everywhere. I am going to buy two more Beats Pills so my sons can pair them and revel in their music some more! These are an excellent speaker purchase, with which my sons and I are incredibly pleased. Having a microphone for use with Siri and phone calls takes it up another notch. The only negative: there is no adapter/charging block included, but that is not a game changer. It’s just good to know up front. Thanks Dre!!! I don’t know how you made these from Em’s basement!

I found this on a good sale for $100, and it’s definitely worth it at that price. It has good, clear sound with good bass, holds its charge for an eight hour shift when I bring it to work, charges out to my iPhone, connects with a USB-C cable and integrates well with my Mac. The design also just feels good in my hand. At the full price of $150, however, I feel like there are better options out there. The sound is good, but other speakers at a similar price would probably carry farther. Volume really impacts the battery, as I usually keep it down a bit to get through an eight-hour shift (which likely influences what I wrote above). Also, the instructions make an embarrassing omission about how to turn it off. (You have to hold the left button for about a second, something I had to learn through a web search.) Still, it’s a good little speaker that’s worth what I paid for it. If you’re in the Apple ecosystem or you find it at a good price, then this is a great option. Otherwise, you’ll want to consider all of your options. Personally, I’m quite happy with mine.

I love Beatspill. I have bought these a total 5 times, for myself and gift for friends. A great product with awesome sound! Portable, water resistant, and can track it, if misplaced, with FindMy. I’m sure I will purchase again. ! And can connect 2 beats pills for parties or different rooms in the house. Love Music, Love Beatspill!

When paired with another Beats Pill the amplify and stereo function capability is innovative and impressive given the lack of standalone subwoofer. I listen to a decent amount of music which encompasses a variety of styles, and while deficiencies can be found, they perform admirably given a wide range of testing. The largest deficiencies I have noticed is that the sound becomes muttled and the bass weak when heavier bass is paired with deeper male vocals. This is where a standalone sub would be beneficial. Additionally, I have found that the bass lines in Caribbean music, which has a different type of bass line than I have generally heard, to suffer most noticably as a style of music from this deficiency. Despite this, I found the overall audio quality and performance of these speakers to be impressive. Throughout many genres and styles these speakers perform well, have good clarity, and deliver a great performance given the limitations. The battery life has also been fantastic.

Simple to use, very simple to pair within the Apple ecosystem, supporting iCloud pairing and simple initial pair. Can easily get battery information directly from device. AirPlay integration would have been welcome. Controls are simple, although take some practice to get used to. Power button controls both power and pairing. I do wish the Pill could be turned on with one touch of power button. I've yet to test the microphone/speaker function, but that's a nice enough addition. I find the sound great, but I am no audiophile. I intend to use this speaker for what portable speakers are best designed for- travel, beach, patio, etc. It sounds excellent, even at moderate volume. The dual pairing function looks awesome, although not within my use case. Design is sleek and feels solid- but light enough for great portability. The soft touch silicone feels great, although I can foresee being a bit of a dirt magnet, at least on the champagne gold model. The lanyard is a welcome addition, but I do wish it was adjustable- unsure what the point of adding a lanyard is if it cannot be tightened/loosened. USB-C is a great addition, as is fast fuel. Battery life is rated at 24H. Based on early usage, I would believe this to be reasonably accurate. Unit drained about 10% listening to podcasts at ~50% volume. Overall positive first impression. Definitely not a cheap speaker, but you are buying this for the ecosystem integration, good sound, and excellent battery life. Price is pretty on par with similar quality speakers. Beats products are frequently discounted, so maybe wait for a sale.

Please for the love of god, do not sleep on these speakers. They have been nothing but better than every single speaker made in the last decade. I personally think they are the most reasonable price for the quality given. I bought two of the beats pill speakers to gift to my step dad this holiday season. We decided to bring the both outside to our hot tub where it was -30 weather and snowing! Not to mention, we have installed speakers in our hot tub, but the beats pill speakers volume were incredible. They were not damaged from the condensation, so it does live up to the name of water resistant. I would also like to mention that pairing them to my phone was incredibly easy, I didn’t even need the instructions, plus it was easy to figure out how to sync two of the speakers. Like I said earlier, please do not sleep on these speakers if you are looking for the best quality.

Amazing performance as usual! Love the colour on this one.

I have had older versions of Beats Pill before. This model is definitely way better in terms of sound quality, bass power, and connectivity. A bit on the heavy side, which I actually don’t mind at all as it needs to sit sturdy for the volume and the bass it projects. USB connectivity is handy when you need to minimize latency. I did find that sound quality dropped when used as Bluetooth speaker phone, but I think that’s due to Bluetooth tech itself, as that’s the case with all other Bluetooth audio devices.

Excellent, very good audio quality, very practical size to take anywhere
