Customer Ratings & Reviews

Took brand new speaker out of packaging to charge overnight it would not charge and never worked once, had to return it and stand in after Christmas return line which was very long. Waste of time and money.

Beats name should have been a warning. Tried anyway and found weak bass response and even weaker volume. Went with a charge 2. SO much bass and great vol.

I had to have the blue beats pill. Loved it at first. However, Went some time without using it, now it doesn't hold a charge at all. Can only use when plugged up. Smdh.

I have only had the speaker for a few weeks, but I already can't charge it and it won't power on. Fortunately, I purchased the replacement warranty, but I am forced to use the same product.

I bought it as a gift to my son during my trip to USA and when back in his first use it was not working , I don't know what to do actually I bought 2 one black and one red for my daughter.

That was the most horrible, tinny sounding speaker that I've ever heard! Don't waste your money. I went to the store to return it, and bought a Kilburn Marshall speaker, and it is Fine!

Purchased in 2014, used maybe less than 100 times. Battery has since died...Battery quality seems poor. Looking into purchasing a battery replacement.

I got the beats pill for a good price and was surprised with all the functions it's capable of doing. The only catch is Best Buy doesn't offer insurance for the Beats Pill.

I bought this speaker with high expectations. Although it works well enough I am not impressed with the sound quality. The sound isn't as crisp or full as it should be for the price.

This speaker was a gift. When first plugged in there was a muffled, static sound over the music. It had to be returned and purchased again. A little disappointing.

Don't be fooled by popularity; go with Bose instead!!!!

We love our pill but it's speakers bust too fast replaced 1x already in 3months

I also have a JBL charge and the sound is much better than the pill. Overall not that great, but it was free with phone purchase.

Got it free with new IPhone. Beats has always been overpriced for the sound quality. OK for getting free, but I would only buy BOSE.

I got this for my sibling and the speakers stopped working

Very disappointed that after less than 90 days this item will not charge or tun on at all. Not a fan, back to the Bose

Lack of bass really was my biggest complaint. I ordered on line based on price.

If you care about silly things like overall sound quality, you will be sorely disappointed. For an audiophile like me, I do not confuse volume over clarity. This compact speaker pushes out mids hard but very muddy. There are no discernable highs or lows either. Why- because all four speakers are the same size. Tweeters? Bass or sub chamber? Nope. You can't get different frequency ranges out of the same sized speaker and by having four speakers instead of two proves that. I have another external plug in speaker that is clumsy, bulky, without Bluetooth and a mediocre battery life but I'm willing to carry an extra set of batteries and deal with the bulk instead of using the slimmer but horrendously sounding Dr. Dre's Pill. Poor sound quality at any volume is still poor sound quality. One side note is that when there volume is turned up near the maximum, the sound quality does not distort as much as many other similar devices. Essentially the below average sound quality stays below average instead of sounding completely distorted. Beats by Dr. Dre is THE selling point. One thing for certain, this little device gets LOUD. For most people who want more than built in speakers of a smart phone or a portable but speakerless audio device that will fill a decent sized room with sound all around look no further than the Pill. It's very stylish, easy to store, set up and use. The battery life is very good for something this size. Lots of connectivity ports if you're the person who can't figure out your device's Bluetooth. And it's loud. Compare external speakers to other external speakers that are the same size. Reviewers say it sounds amazing compared to their device's built in speakers is paramount to saying french fries taste better with salt. I would NOT spend more than $75 for this, if at all.

This was a gift for my son. He has used it for one week and it will no longer take a charge or turn on

Bot it thinking it would be a little loud but though wrong it wasn't loud at all and sound was horrible
