Customer Ratings & Reviews

Within minutes of opening the box I connected the Pill to my Android phone via Bluetooth and had music playing. The sound is excellent with enough bass while maintaining clarity in highs and mids. A very pleasant overall sound which is what I would expect. The source was Spotify and Sirius/XM streaming and the genre ranged from Afro Cuban Jazz to Sinatra and light Jazz. There was more than enough volume. Spoken voice via Podcasts was also excellent. The single USB-C port has three functions. 1. Charge the Pill, 2. Charge another device-in this case it was my Android phone and 3. Direct connection to my Windows 11 laptop. ON the laptop it appeared as a speaker and I was able to select it and stream Radio Swiss Jazz without any issue or fuss. This is also the way I could stream lossless,FLAC or AAC audio but I have no subscription for those formats. I was streaming music on my phone and received a phone call. All I had to do was press the multi-function button on the Pill to answer. Audio was clear for me and the calling party. The music is paused during the call. There is an Android ( and I suspect an IOS ) APP which allowed me to manage a few options. This is also the way to add a second speaker or share the speaker with another phone. The APP is not really needed for daily use. It has limited functionally . The Battery status is displayed when connected via BT on my Android phone. A USB-C to USB-C is included but no power brick. I am very pleased with the sound and versatility of the Pill and would recommend to friends and family.

Love this little bluetooth speaker. Pretty simple setup pair it with your bluetooth device and it charges with an included usb c to c cable and wall adapter. It pairs nicely with a pc/laptop, phone or really any other device where you might need bluetooth connection. The battery is really solid I've had it going on and off for i'd say close to 19 hours without needing to charge it but that includes idle time as well. Sound quality is really great on this. I have it at maybe half volume and it feels like it's blowing me away at times already. I can't imagine needing to run this at max volume but maybe if you are using it at a party or something that would be a good use case for it. There are only three buttons very simple volume up, volume down and a power/pairing button. It does have an auto sleep function that is mildly annoying if it doesn't detect any audio playing but I was able to get around this by leaving a silent audio file playing on repeat in the background. Prob a very small use case but would be nice if they would give an option to just turn off the sleep function for those of us that want it. Overall if you are in the market for a bluetooth speaker that packs a punch and really delivers, this is it. At the price point too wow, can't go wrong.

Just to start, this is my first Beats/Apple product of any kind. My wife uses Apple products so that did help me with setting this up. The product came in a nice small package with the instructions and charging cable. The Pill was at 70% charge, according to the app, so I went ahead and topped it off. Once that was done, I connected to the Pill through the app with my Samsung phone. No issues what so ever. First, I played music stored on my phone and that was nice and full. Being a smaller speaker, the bass is slightly lacking but overall, it sounds really nice. The way it sets on the table at an angle helps project the sound out and it easily fills the room. I switched over to streaming music using iHeart Radio. Again, the sound was nice and full but I could tell a small difference which prompted me to bump the volume a notch or two. From here, I started my third party EQ/volume app and wow, this thing started bumping! I picked it up and the whole Pill was vibrating. I turned down the volume a notch and this thing still put our nice, full, loud music that was easy to listen too. I had my phone 2 rooms away at some point and there was zero connection issues. Overall, I like this speaker and will continue to use it. Nice product!

They sound pretty terrible. They're not worth the price. I don't recommend people buying them. You should purchase the JBL instead. Sound much better.

Over priced not good sound waste of munyun I swear

Dies too fast and even if it's jot in use. Expected more for the price

I have lots of love (LOL) for this powerful little speaker except for the power button, but I'll get to that later. First things first - the speaker exudes quality the minute you pull it out of the box. It has a weight and heft to it that is oddly satisfying. I don't know all the technical aspects of a speaker (like tweeter vs woofer, etc) that would give it this feeling, but I like it. You really feel like you're getting your money's worth this thing. The attached lanyard is actually a nice feature with which to carry the speaker around without fear of dropping it (though I think that fear would be unfounded as the rubber surface provides adequate grip vs the metal mesh portion of the speaker). The stuff I like the most about the Pill is the integration with iOS (the cool card slide up when you first pair it) as well as all the options available in the Settings app without having to install a separate app (though there is a separate app of course if you want it). The other thing I really like is lossless audio over USB-C. I didn't think I would be able to tell the difference but when listening to lossless tracks via Apple Music, there was a discernible change in audio quality vs just streaming over Bluetooth. So now the power button. Turning the speaker on is relatively easy enough, but turning it off is not. You have to hold the power button down but time it correctly so that you let go in time to turn it off but not too late which would then put the speaker in pairing mode. Just a bad engineering design decision in my opinion unless someone can tell me why Beats felt like they had to design it that way.

The Beats Pill has great bass, great sound, and water resistance. Great for the bathroom while in the shower.

Bought this as a baby shower diaper raffle giveaway and the winners love it. I’ve owned the previous generation pill so I assumed this one would be as good as the last and it was. Awesome color too!

Fantastic sound and battery life. This product is a definite purchase for anyone looking for a speaker that's worth the money

I am conflicted with this speaker because it is a good speaker in a vacuum but we don’t live in a vacuum. I’ll say that being objective using other speakers in this size. Specs: racetrack and tweeter as the speakers 24 hours of battery life IP67 rating USB C port Custom Beats chip As far as connectivity goes it’s Bluetooth 5.3 with easy pairing with Apple iOS and Android though it’s better with Android. I guess because it’s not using Apple’s H1 or H2 chip why but it will connect to your device and then saves in your iCloud account so you don’t have to pair it again. But you’ll need to still connect them in your Bluetooth settings. No multipoint with iOS devices . On Android it supports Google fast pair. You can also connect to two devices between these two. As far as sound goes it has a racetrack woofer and a tweeter. It sounds good but it’s mono not stereo mode. It sounds loud and not muddy so there’s that. But my glaring issue is that at the MSRP $149 these sound good but there is other speakers if you’re not looking at the other big names that are quite a lot cheaper. I’ve seen them in the sub $100 range and they sound great and about the same size. I do think if they are sale they are worth it.

For a speaker this small it is very powerful.. my back area is Rather large but I can hear the music perfectly. I’m thinking of buying another one just for the beach.

This is my second one i like the sound quality and i like the bass and i like how easy it is to pair up to your phone

Love the quality of the speaker! Perfect for use for traveling!

Works perfectly with your apple devices. Has a long battery life and sound is really good for a small speaker.

Great product easy to use easy set up. Great quality great sound.

Best speaker for the money. Sounds great! Portable and thumps
