Customer Ratings & Reviews

Haven’t opened or used it as it is a Christmas gift

Adequate for poolside, not impressed. Think I paid for the name vs doing a little more research

This is a great speaker for an apple user, as myself, but the reality is the speaker doesn’t do as much justice as JBL or BOSE. Dr. Dre has is name on it and that’s what makes it worth money. If you want Sound quality and base look elsewhere.

This Speaker is extremely high quality for the price, I highly recommend it.

The process is lengthy to get a new phone but Beat Buy is knowledgable and cheerful.

not quite powerful enough for the weight room, but a reliable product

The beats + pill is definitely not like the XL, but it is ok for it's size

Not the best speaker on the market but worth it for $99.

Too expensive for the quality of this product!!!!!

Speakers were ok. Had a hard time trying to par both.

Quality of sound is ok. Not as good when turned all the way up.

It's is good works great I love it a lot good for all purposes

I believe that the speaker could have played louder .

It's mediocre. You are better off going with the ue boom

It's sound as not was expecting and lots of sync issues

Its not as loud as my Pill XL. Hate recall. Its ok

Personally did not enjoy this product for being by Beats I expected alot more. (Their wireless headphones are GREAT) But the Pill+ sound is not very clear and it has virtually no bass in my opinion. Ended up as a return.

I was looking for the pill xl and I was told that it was discontinue and that this one was similar, but nothing similar, no even closet to the xl and for the price its too spencil

First let me say that I shopped in the store and was able to connect with my phone listen to my own music before buying. The environment is noisy, but it did help. Secondly I bought two units (this was the first), took them home, and returned them each the next day before settling on a third. Best Buy handled this smoothly. Sometimes brick-and-mortar beats online shopping. I looked at the Beats Pill+ for $180, the Sony SRS-XB3 for $130, and the Bose Soundlink Mini II for $180, in that order. The Beats had good volume, good sound for bass-heavy music, bass boost, and USB-to-lightening cable power. I returned it for less-than excellent sound, and I was disappointed that the lightening cable was only for power - I had thought it would be used for high quality connection to my iPhone, but that is by bluetooth like the others. Also, the sound effects when turning it on and off were loud and obnoxious. Back it went. The Sony had very good volume, good sound for all music, bass boost, but the power is by wall charger with proprietary jack. This was a deal-killer for me, since I want to be able to charge it in the car. For sound alone this may be the best of the three, but back it went. It's also the largest of the three. The Bose had the lowest volume of the three. I generally think that Bose is highly over-rated, however, the sound is quite good considering its size. Reasonable bass, midrange, and treble. No adjustments available. Power is by USB-to-miniUSB, which can be plugged directly into the speaker or into a very nice charging cradle. Voice prompts are useful and not obnoxious like the Beats. There is a rubber pad on the bottom which is good for a table top or dashboard top. All three units are heavy for their size. None are miraculous for sound, since physics limits what can be done with that small size. For household or outdoor use, the Sony may be the best. For overall flexibility including the car, I chose the Bose. Beats may be good for bass-heavy music, particular in the Apple world.

I bought this to replace a 6 year old Bose soundlink color that was losing battery life. Was disappointed to find the old Bose sounds better then this newer more expensive speaker.
