Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not bad almost as nice as my Bose. I wish I could use more Apple function when connecting to my iPhone.

Great product been using for 3 weeks now and I’m not disappointed! Will recommend

Gucci size. Gucci sound. Gucci pill. Love it. Get yourself one.

Loud and battery last a while but all of a sudden it stopped working and won’t power on. About 2 months old, no water damage and wasn’t dropped. Also the front mesh isn’t very durable. I dinged it on a table corner and it dented

Overall i am disappointed it bottoms out and (3 weeks after i bought it) its has a crackling sound at high volume. Junk.

Beats - Pill Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speake Summary: High performance mobile speaker. Use: We listen to music everywhere we go. We have had many mobile speakers over the years from low budget speakers to much higher budget speakers. We have this one unit from a competitor that has been in the sound and speaker space for a long time and make some of the best hardware out there. We thought we'd never find anything that matches its sound. Until recently, we haven't had a need to, either. We've purchased Beats products before for our nieces and nephews for Christmas. They always swear by them. So when the Pill came along, we decided to give it a go. I'm glad we did. This unit has remarkable sound featuring a very nice and deep bass and does so right out of the box without use of the app! So not only mobile, we also use our speakers when task oriented while in the garage, or soaking in the tub, or cleaning a room where we don't want the whole home filled with sound. We've even taken it with us while on walks so that we can listen to music while sitting at a park and relaxing. Pros: * Svelte. This unit looks great! It won't have any problems fitting in because it is meant to pop! * Well-built. Something I care about a lot and mention frequently. This unit has some heft. The unit weighs about as much as you'd expect and the material and feel seem well crated/selected. * Controls. The controls are clear cut and pretty standard. Easy to pair and use quickly. * Sound. The sound is amazing. These little units infrequently surprise me, but I really enjoy the audio from this unit. The bass is surprisingly present and rich. * Portability. It is just large enough to carry around without difficulty and the lanyard makes that even easier. * Brand. Beats has built up a brand over the years. I've only experience with it through gifting the brand to my family, but this unit definitely delivers. I hope they keep it up - it definitely gives competing brands and form factors a run for their money. * App. The app seems unnecessary, but it does provide some value-add. You can link multiple Pills to create a stereo pair, setup a DJ mode to have multiple sources, and to check battery level. You don't need it, though, you can use your phone (if iOS, at least) equalizer to control audio. Cons: * Connectivity. The unit does disconnect randomly. I haven't found a reason for this yet. It's annoying, but it may also be something I'm doing and/or the number of Bluetooth devices I connect to (i.e. my phone is disconnecting from the speaker to favor another device rather than the Pill disconnecting from my phone).

After using the Beats Pill for about a week, I was left disappointed with it. To be honest, they didn't live up to their name and quality that I was used to. Sub par sound and a very useless App. Price point doesn't match the value. Again, my opinions. In the box was the speaker, USB C cable to charge it and a paper with basically a QR code to get started. Build quality gets some top marks and feels heavy (not too heavy) and premium in the hands. Setup was as simple as any other Bluetooth speaker on the market. After that you can just get to jamming out. They have a Beat App to download, but I found it severely lacking in any options. One thing I found I hated is how they did the Power Button. Click it and it turns on. You would think, ok hold it and it turns off, right? Wrong. It goes straight to pairing. You have to time it perfectly for about 2 seconds for it to turn off. Any shorter it does nothing, longer it goes to pairing mode. The design though is fairly small for you to travel with it anywhere and pretty useful outside with it's IP67 rating. Sound and performance To me, anything I played on the Pill sounded flat with no life to it. Bass was mid to heavy and you can actually feel it when holding the speaker. Sure it'll fill the whole room with sound but, unless you download a 3rd party app, there is absolutely no type of EQ for you to personalize your music. Also for the Audiophiles, there is no support for any aptX codecs, just the standard AAC codec. Battery life claims about a day of usage and found it to be quite true. I have used the Pill about 7-8 hours a workday and had to charge it on the 3rd day. App is worthless. No EQ settings....nothing. You can basically rename the speaker and change the tone volume for sound effects. That's about it. To me, this is just an average Bluetooth speaker with no customizations and should have a better price to performance ratio. There is so many better options out there.

I bought this speaker on sale thinking it would be just as good as my old jbl flip. Not even close. Its sounds average, its bass is of poor quality. Doesnt even last 24 hours.

Dose not stay charged at all. Compared to my inline which this replaced. I’m super unhappy

Really impressed with this speaker. Incredible bass for it's size and crystal clear with the built in tweeter. Pairs to my iPhone and MacBook Pro extremely quickly, great battery life and the added bonus to charge phone via USB-C. Has some heft to it. Typical solid build quality from Apple. Only downside is powering it on and off is stupidly complicated. You have to hold the power button for just long enough to turn it off, but not too long or it goes into pairing mode. Don't know what they were thinking there but it's not a big deal once you get the hang of it.

The color, design and sound quality are really very good, it was like some JBL that definitely rivals Beats, however the integration with iOS (everyone in my family uses iPhones and iPads) made us go for this speaker and we did not regret it, ideal companion for adventures both in the woods and on the beach.

Amazing Sound! Beats Pill is a sleek and powerful speaker that delivers impressive sound for its size. It boasts a bigger racetrack woofer for deeper bass and a wider soundstage. The battery life is solid, and the speaker is easy to use with intuitive controls. While it's a bit on the pricey side, the Beats Pill offers a premium audio experience that's perfect for on-the-go listening.

Great speaker, absolutely happy with the design and the sound. Very comfortable to carry anywhere you want to have it with you.

Great sound quality, pairs easily with iPhone and sounds great on my screened in porch for happy hours! Lightweight and can go anywhere with you! Highly recommend!

The color is beautiful. The sound it crisp and clear. It connects easily. Im pleased with the purchase.

Great for value. I was honestly surprised by how loud and clear the Beats Pill is. The bass is solid, and everything sounds crisp. Super easy to connect via Bluetooth, and the battery lasts a long time. Perfect for music at home or on the go. Love it!

I was skeptical because of the mixed reviews everywhere, but this little speaker packs a punch. I've been using JBL charge for a while now & it has the most complete sound so far just needed something smaller for traveling with my laptop & the Pill has more than surpassed my expectations. Great hi's, mids & bass in such a small package. I really don't need another but just might purchase a second one for that complete surround sound experience...

The sound quality is amazing. Exactly what I was looking for. Easy Bluetooth access and the battery last several hours. Perfect for an all day beach outing. Also, this gold color is aesthetically pleasing. Blends right in.

I am not an apple fan at all. 100% Android. I'd be grudgingly tried the Beats pill after numerous other Bluetooth speakers failed me and sounded terrible including the UE Boom 4, Sony Ult Field 1, and Bose Soundlink Flex. I was very impressed with the overall clarity and base from the speaker. The separation is amazing. It sounded so good that I took the recommendation of many reviewers and bought a second one and I must say that it was definitely worth the money. In stereo this Bluetooth speaker sounds incredible. The only knock on it is that it absolutely needs an equalizer added to the app. No I know Apple thinks they have the sound perfected there are times when I need to be able to turn the bass down just a hair or two at night. Other than that I would say this is pretty much a perfect Bluetooth speaker. Also the battery life on this is amazing 24 hours at 50% volume and it sounds great at 50% volume. The ability to reverse charge is also extremely helpful I would say 4.75 stars.

Excellent portable speaker; clear and great battery life....right price.
