Beats Pill - Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Up to 24H Battery Life, Water Resistant, Bluetooth, Apple & Android Compatible, Seriously Loud Sound for Home, Outdoor and Travel - 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.

The Beats Pill Portable Bluetooth Speaker delivers a surprisingly balanced listening experience for a speaker designed to be portable. The sound is full and energetic, with enough low-end presence to give music weight without overwhelming the mids or making everything feel artificially bass-heavy. What stands out most is how easily it fills a space. Whether used indoors, outside, or while moving between rooms, the speaker projects sound with a clarity and scale that feels larger than its footprint suggests. Vocals remain clean, and the overall tuning feels more controlled and refined than many portable speakers that prioritize volume alone. The design also feels thoughtfully resolved. The shape is simple and tactile, the finish understated, and the portability genuinely practical rather than gimmicky. Battery life holds up well in everyday use, which makes it easy to treat as part of a routine rather than something that constantly needs charging. There’s a certain effortlessness to it overall. It doesn’t try to sound aggressively engineered or hyper-technical—it simply delivers strong, immersive sound in a form that integrates naturally into daily life.

I am extremely impressed with this Bluetooth speaker! The sound quality is clear, loud, and has excellent bass for its size. Connecting to my phone was quick and easy, and the battery lasts much longer than I expected. It’s lightweight, portable, and perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. The build quality feels solid, and it performs even better than some more expensive speakers I’ve tried. Highly recommended

This is the best speaker I’ve ever used, now see I wasn’t raised to get whatever I wanted. I got a gift card from a family member, and this speaker has crossed my mind on and off for awhile and didn’t want to spend 150$ but I saw it went on sale for the exact amount of my gift card (100$) and I splurged. From the second I got it.. It was beautiful, the bass is so high even with it being a tiny thing. Its size is decent it’s about 8-12 inches if I had to guess. Its functionality is very easy to use, I learned every button day one. Battery life is also purely amazing, I’ve tried not charging it for a whole day using it and it was still 80% battery. The value for money is the biggest concern I’d have, I mean if you can afford it, it’s worth it. However if your stuck to a lower budget and can’t afford it there’s not much changed from other brands speakers besides less bass and smaller subwoofers. This is the best speaker I’ve ever used though.

I've been using this speaker for over a year, and it's quickly become my favorite thanks to its sound quality, battery life, premium look, and portability. The sound is surprisingly powerful. It easily fills a room and feels much bigger than the speaker itself. I also love how seamlessly it connects with my Apple iPhone and iPad. The automatic pairing makes it incredibly convenient to use without any hassle. The battery life is excellent. I rarely find myself needing to charge it, which makes it great for everyday use. The gold color is a standout as well--it looks sleek, modern, and a bit more elevated than your typical speaker. The only downside is that it’s a bit heavy for its size, so I wouldn’t take it on a long hike. But for use at home or out in the backyard, it’s absolutely perfect. Overall, a great combination of style, performance, and reliability—I’d definitely recommend it.

Perfect little speaker. The quality of the product is there, the sound quality is there, and the durability is also there. I dropped it in a pond while kayaking, took me a minute to get it back. I let it dry off and it’s still working perfect. Worth every penny. Beats should definitely make more bluetooth speakers!!

I bought this used in "acceptable" condition, with no description as to actual condition. The previous two "acceptable" ones came with somewhat minor dents, but no original packaging, charge cord, or instructions. One of them smelled like something like Febreeze had been sprayed or rubbed on it. This one, the cheapest I have seen in this color, has no discernible scratches or dents and looks new, , arrived in the original, but extremely taped box, and had cord, instructions, and stickers. Jackpot! It should have been classified as "very good" or even, "like new." It sounds great, with movie theater very present bass sound. A little weak in the midrange when quiet or loud, but may be fixable in firmware, as may connectivity issues. As has been noted in other user reviews, it gets disconnected rather frequently for no discernible reason, is hard to maintain in paired modes for this reason, and makes a rather loud noise when turning on and off. One reviewing site reviewer downgraded it for having to hold the on /off button too long to turn it on and off. 2 or 3 seconds is too long? This is actually a great design feature that keeps it from accidentally turning off or on while in a bag or backpack while taking camping or to the beach. To prevent dents in transit I suggest keeping the well-designed protective box. Though I suspect the dented speakers were dropped. None of the carrying cases designed for this version of the Beats Pill, that I have ordered, had any real padding. If the case is hard enough this may not matter, but one was easily mushable. I'm thinking of just using the box. The only case I've found with real padding, and a nicely hard shell, is the co2CREA Hard Travel Case Replacement for JBL Flip 6 FLIP 5 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker Case. (This can be found cheaply in Amazon Resale in like -new condition.). The Pill fits snugly in this, though it mushes down the divider, but still leaves room for the charging cable and a plug in charger. The original Pill colors: red, gold, and black, come with a black plastic charging cord. The Kim Kardashian Pills come with cords that match the Pill color, and cross-hatched fiber covering, which may be better quality than the black cords? They are stiffer! The main feature that I went with the Pill for is the "Lossless listening." The ability to plug in the Pill directly to your device without having to use bluetooth. We have so much radiation already with wi-fi, phone, radio, and tv signals broadcasted all around us, I prefer not to have to add bluetooth to the mix. Plus the sound quality is better. Speakers that can use wi-fi also get better sound quality than bluetooth because of better bandwith. Though the Pill as yet has no online equalizer as other better quality speakers do, I find it does a great job adjusting to different kinds of audio, unlike say, an Echo Show 8, which has glorious stereo spatial audio sound, but has a hard time playing simple podcast and news talking voices understandably because of too heavy bass. But this can be adjusted with its online on speaker equalizer, lowering the bass to zero. The Pill automatically adjusts.

Replacing the beat I purchased 7.5 years ago. I took that beat w/me every where, I dropped it, left it out in the elements, took it to the beach and it never lost audio output and still charged quickly and battery lasted! I have no doubt this one will see better days and last longer than the last. Easy to charge Easy to pair with WiFi and devices Great sound Easy to use Look great, even next to my Klipsch speakers!

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.

Son incroyable et batterie qui dure longtemps Vraiment contente de mon achat Je recommande vivement

Always wanted a really decent speaker and now I have one. Sound quality is fantastic, easy enough to figure out and the battery lasts very well. I additionally have the noise cancelling buds, the solo 3 headphones so I figured the speaker would not disappoint. Highly recommend any beats products.

Wonderful sound! Bought this speaker during the last Prime sale, so saved a little bit on this. But let me just say, this speaker is worth every single penny. Easy to pair, great size, and the sound is amazing. I have 2 Bose speakers, and a few Monster speakers,, but this one, definitely sounds the best of them all. Next Prime sale, maybe I'll buy another to link them for a stereo experience. 2 thumbs up for the Beats Pill.
