Amazing sound quality for the size, excellent battery life, I ended up using it pretty much daily because of the quality and how portable it is. Also the UI details when using with an iPhone are great as well!

Great sound for a small device. I have it in my kitchen for music while I cook. I can bring out to the deck and still sounds clear and crisp outdoors. I left it out in the rain and it was fine.

An easy Pill to take (pun intended)

Beats really knocked it out of the park with this reboot of the Pill. I had a Beats Pill waaaay back in 2015, the last year that they made them. Fast forward to 2014, and Beats has released a new Pill, one that adds a ton of cool features that make it one of the best portable speakers on the market. When you factor in the low price, the great sound, and incredible battery life, it is even more impressive.
The Beats pill easily connects wirelessly to either Android or Apple phones, has the ability to connect a USB C cable from speaker to phone (in case you’d rather have lossless wired vs. lossy wireless sound), and can be connected in a stereo pair to a second Beats Pill, increasing output and imaging. I didn’t have a second Pill to test the stereo capabilities, but I will say that a single Pill has great volume output. In my 100+ square foot office, I don’t even come close to testing the limits of the Beats Pill output (and I have it up loud at times!). Syncing to my iPhone was easy. I turned the Pill on, went to my iPhone, selected the Pill, and voila, I was listening to music. Looks like only one device can be synced at a time to each Pill, but this was no biggie. Press and hold the power button for five seconds and it is ready to sync with a new device.
Beats has generally been known for their emphasis on bass and treble, but this Pill is nicely neutral, with a warm midrange and defined, yet subtle bass. All genres of music sounded pretty good on it, but for me, electronic, acoustic, and jazz really performed well on the Pill.
The battery life of the Pill will wow you. I got the Pill several days ago and have been playing music for several hours a day and have barely touched the battery capacity. I am astonished that a unit that gets this loud has the kind of extensive battery life this one does.
Just a couple of other thoughts: The Pill is well-built, feels substantial in the hand, is compact but loud, and came packaged very nice. It is a component that has a luxury feel, is easy to use, sounds great, and comes with some great options (such as syncing with a second Pill for stereo). Highly recommended.

I needed a portable bluetooth speaker for my pleasure and work. I like the shape and the weight - very nice to stick it into my side of backpack like a water bottle.
The sound is great. What I don't about is the sound gets distorted at high volume. So for a living room or classroom size listeners will be fine but for any larger scale, this doesn't work. I thought about adjusting EQ level for it but it's not included.
Overall I'm happy. For a bigger space with louder volume, I will add another one.

Sound Performance: Punchy Bass, Clear Highs
Honestly, Beats nailed the sound this time. I was worried it would be all bass, but they engineered it brilliantly. The new woofer and tweeter deliver exactly the sound profile I love: the rich, full bass is still there for a solid thump—it’s punchy, not muddy—but the crisp, detailed highs mean I can actually hear the intricate guitar work or clear vocals. And that 20-degree upward tilt? It really works. I just set it down on my patio table, and the music fills the space perfectly without me having to crank the volume to distortion levels.
Portability and Durability
Portability is non-negotiable for me, and this is where the Pill truly shines. The soft-grip silicone backing feels great and the removable carry lanyard is genius—I clip it right onto my backpack for hikes. I even accidentally knocked it into the pool last weekend (don’t ask), but thanks to that rugged IP67 rating (dust-proof and water-resistant!), I just fished it out, dried it off, and the music kept playing without a skip. No more worrying about rain or sand; this speaker is as tough as my adventure plans.
Seamless Features and Battery Life
The convenience features are where this speaker truly shines, especially for both iOS and Android users:
24-Hour Battery: The Pill boasts an impressive battery life of up to 24 hours on a single charge, which is fantastic for long weekends or extended listening sessions. The Fast Fuel feature provides two hours of playback from a quick 10-minute charge.
Portable Charger: The USB-C port is not just for charging the speaker; you can use the Pill to charge your phone or other devices on the go, turning it into a handy power bank.
Lossless Audio: For audiophiles, the USB-C connection also supports high-resolution lossless audio when connected directly to a source like a laptop.
Dual-Speaker Modes: You can pair two Beats Pills together for two dynamic listening experiences: Amplify Mode doubles the volume for parties, and Stereo Mode splits the audio into dedicated left and right channels for a true surround-sound feel.
Universal Compatibility: Thanks to its proprietary chip, it offers instant one-touch pairing for both iOS and Android devices, as well as support for Apple Find My and Google Find My Device.
The Verdict
For me, the 2024 Beats Pill has become an essential piece of tech. It’s got the incredible 24-hour battery life that actually lasts through my busiest weekends and the rugged build I need for my outdoor life. While it technically has one speaker, the sound is so rich that it feels bigger. I genuinely recommend this: if you need a dependable, great-sounding, stylish speaker that can handle everything you throw at it, the new Beats Pill is absolutely the one to get.

Beats Pills fulfilled all my expectations and more. I wanted a reliable portable speaker with great sound and long battery life that I could use indoors and outdoors. The sound that comes out of this small speaker is outstanding. Battery lasts up to 24 hours which is amazing. It’s dust and water resistant which makes it perfect to use when we go camping, to the beach, or anywhere!
And Apple’s reputation for building super high-quality products makes me feel confident that Beats Pills will last a very long time.
Connecting to it through an iPhone was super easy as expected. Right out of the box, I just pressed and held the power button for a few seconds and my iPhone immediately recognized it, prompting me if I wanted to connect to it. Given the connection is through Bluetooth, Beats Pill can be connected to any phone or computer, not just to Apple products.
As for the extras that I was not looking for but are very welcome:
- It automatically gets added to the “Find My” app which allows you to find it if you ever misplace it (the app shows the last known location, which I believe it’s the last time beats Pill was powered on)
- It has a built-in mic! That means you can use it for phone calls
- Ability to sync two Beats Pill in either Amplify or Stereo Mode
- Ability to charge other devices
Something odd is that, when charging, the LED turns “green” instead of the typical red. And it’s confusing because typically green means that a device is fully charged. I wonder why they made this decision… oh well, this is trivial in comparison to everything this wonderful device has to offer!

Purchased this because I had to hate and take a larger radio around with me. The size is perfect and also the sound is great. Beats make great products & this one is worth buying if you like to bring music to the beach or the park.

This is great little speaker! It’s portable and esay to move from room to room or take it with you. I was worried it might be a little too big since my previous speaker was about half the size, but I love it. The sound quality is excellent, and the base bumps! I would definitely buy another one, if needed.

I love the look, the champagne gold color, makes it sleek and differentiates utself from the black and red. I was mind blown on how loud it is for its size. The battery length of 24 hours is a major plus! Zero regrets getting this upgraded 2024 version of the pill.

Beats this pill has the sound that fills a room up with bass. A clear clean sound comes out of this little speaker. I had a Beats pills speaker years ago and used this on my bike this will not fit on that bike anymore. They have really got this speaker down to an art form with the sound as clear as it is and the size. It's clean looking all black not lights on the speaker that stick out. It comes with a handle strap to take with you. It's not heavy at all for the big sound it puts out. I have around 6 other bluethooth speakers and this one has to be one of my new favorite one's. Tis has a app you can load to work the speaker the only thing is that it's for Apple Products so it's not on android. This will connect to all of our apple products. That is the only bad thing i can say about this you can still work on your bluetooth devices just fine. I just can't tell you what all you can do on the app made for Apple products. Overall a great speaker it fills the room with a big sound as if it was a big speaker. Now the buttons on top of the speaker are all soft touch with no color writing on them so its kinda hard to see what you a touching with very little light.
Great speaker another hit for BEATS.
