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

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.

I loved the Beats Pill from the first use. Despite its compact size, it has a powerful sound, with deep and clear bass, ideal for listening to music anywhere. The audio quality is very good for such a small speaker.Bluetooth connectivity is fast and stable, and the battery lasts a long time, perfect for carrying it on outings or trips. In addition, its modern and minimalist design makes it look great in any space.The best:✔️ Good volume and powerful bass✔️ Easy to connect via Bluetooth✔️ Ideal size to take everywhere✔️ Attractive and well-built design✔️ Good battery lifeTo take into account:➖ It is not water resistant (care for it outdoors)➖ The load could be fasterIf you're looking for a portable speaker with style, good sound and reliability, the Beats Pill is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

I bought this for my GF after our original Sonos Roam bit the dust. I've used some beats wireless in-ear buds before, but have otherwise stayed away from the brand. I picked this one because the reviews were really good, and it seemed like a good value for the money. I'm not at all a fan of Kim K, but chose this to get a different color scheme that would fit nicely and be unique.After several uses I do actually believe this unit sound better than the aforementioned Sonos Roam, and it seems like it can be played louder with more clarity. The connectivity is great and reliable.

This my first Beats product. And I must say that I never knew music could sound so clear and robust. Though physically small it packs a punch! I take it with me to the beach and I can entertain myself and my friends comfortably without disturbing the entire beach. And the packaging was also very nice. I even kept the box lol. My next purchase will be the headset. Top quality.

Sound is amazing and it looks chic and sleek. You get a good range of volume as well. I used to have JBL speakers and wanted a great option to replace them and was able to buy this on sale so it was perfect! Its not as portable as I expected but it is the perfect size to use at home or for trips out, just not necessarily to bring around for high mobile travel.

The beats pill champagne gold sounds good. The sound is loud, clear, and smooth. However, I feel like they need to update the actual play time of these beats pill. So far mine has been playing continuously for 9 hours now and are still playing. It’s the volume though that they have to play on in order for them to achieve up to the 24 hours playtime. I feel that’s misleading people and should be clearly stated that the volume has to be low in order for them to play up to 24 hrs. I like listening to my music fairly loud and when listening to them loudly they do not last long. You may get 2 hours of playtime when listening to music loudly on the beats pill. They do meet the functionality and plays while charging so that’s what helped me give them four stars. I also would have liked to have a champagne gold usb c charging cord to come with this instead of a black usb c cord. I am still satisfied with my purchase though since they were on sale for $99. I feel that’s a good value for the money but I definitely would not pay $149 for one. Since you can connect 2 beats pills together I did order the dark gray one to have that stereo surround sound.****UPDATE ON 5/29/25****•So my beats pills did achieve 24 hrs of playtime on a single charge but on a low volume as stated above.•To turn off the beats pill you have to press down and hold the power button 1 to 2 seconds and then release. They will not turn off if you hold down for 3 or more seconds.• I did adjust my equalizer setting on my iPhone so now I get about 4 hours of playtime listening to the music loudly to my preference.
