Customer Ratings & Reviews

It does seem a bit heavy for most portable speakers that size. For how much it costs I can’t really justify the price. It has good quality and a strong sound. I love the bass and the hi pitch’s sound amazing. I would recommend if your willing to spend a bit more than usual

Nice sound and great size. Great value . A bit heavy if your carrying it.

In the box is the speaker and a USB-C to USB-C charging cord, a QR quick start code, an Apple Music 3 month free trial. First impression - I love the champagne gold color and the size of the speaker. It is a little heavy but it’s a good size and I can’t wait to hear the sound. Disclaimer. I own quite a few smaller speakers and this is my first ever Beats product. Also, I am part of the eco system and I was able to test the phone, tablet, watch. Right out of the box, I decided to charge my phone since I saw on one of the handouts that I could charge devices with the speaker. I was able to get from 20 percent to 66 percent with the charge of the pill right out of the box. After that, I charged the pill and it completely charged in about 2-3 hours and began to listen. I would like to note that the pill is a little heavy, so if you are traveling, I would put it in my carry on versus a check bag to save on the weight. Also, you are able to charge with the pill, so it would be a great idea to keep close to you for an extra portable battery. Sound - The sound to me is really good. The pill holds the songs with bass well and it I must say that you can turn the pill all the way up or leave it at 50 percent and it still sounds good. For longer battery life, I definitely recommend the lower volume but if battery life is not an issue, turn it up! Connectivity - This is hands down the best feature for me. I have used a lot of portable speakers in the past couple of years and I ALWAYS have a problem with fighting other family members for control of other speakers. With the pill, once you connect, you can seamlessly connect to another device. So far, I have connected to 3 devices at once. I was playing music on one and wanted to take a call on another. I was able to answer the call and switch over to the other device by pressing the pill symbol in my call setting. Calls - So far, calls on the speakerphone have been really good. A lot of people didn’t even realize that I was not using my actual phone. They said that I sounded like I was talking with my phone. Battery Life - When I used the speaker and taking calls with the speakerphone at 100 percent volume, I got about 6-8 hours of battery life. Using the speaker with lower volume did indeed help with the battery life as I was able to use my pill for 2 work days (8 hour days) with one charge. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and I would highly recommend this product to friends and family.

Beats Pill Portable Speaker While earbuds are nice, only you can hear the music you’re listening to, since the earbuds are in your ears. So, when you want to share your music with others, this Beats Pill portable speaker can be a great choice. Connecting this device via Bluetooth is as easy as it gets. Since it’s well-constructed, it’s a tad on the heavy side, which means you probably wouldn’t want to carry this along on your daily walk (that’s where your earbuds really work great). However, it’s nice that it has a carrying strap and it’s still light enough to move around inside and outside your home. That means you have the flexibility to decide where you want to hear your music now, and then change the speaker’s location whenever you want. And since it’s battery operated, there are no electrical plugs to worry about when you want to move it. Besides playing your music, this device can also be used as a portable charging device. It can charge your phone and other USB-C devices using the included cable. Simply insert one end of the cable into the USB slot on the speaker and the other end to the device you want to charge, and it starts charging the connected device. That’s a nice touch. The Beats Pill has a water- and dust-resistant IP67 rating which means that you don’t have to be afraid to take it outside, since a little bit of rain isn’t going to ruin it. And sharing your music with others could make you the life of the party at the pool or other outdoor gathering! My only recommendation for improving the speaker would be to make the On/Off switch and the Volume Up and Volume Down controls easier to locate and identify. At present, they’re black and are located on the black rubber of the speaker, so they’re not easy to find. Making them white would be a huge improvement. Because this is an Apple product, AppleCare+ battery and accidental damage coverage is available. Decent sound, a solid build with up to 24-hour battery life and backed by Apple means that this is a product that won’t disappoint if you’re comfortable with the price.

I love this little powerhouse. The size is perfect- not too small, but small enough to carry around loose or in a bag. It is a little heavy compared to similar size portable speakers, but i think that speaks to how well-made it is. The red color makes a statement without being obnoxious in my opinion. The sound is everything you would expect from a Beats product- loud, crisp, clear. The bass comes through without distorting. It took a few tries to get the Bluetooth connection to pair to my phone, but once connected it has been fine. The Beats app allows for easy setup. There are no equalizer settings to change that I could find, but I didn't see a reason to change them personally. You can pair this with another Pill speaker through the app to increase your sound coverage, or pair it with another Pill and set one for right channel and one for left channel to give your space a stereo surround sound. You can also take calls through the speaker directly. I would highly recommend this product.
