Customer Ratings & Reviews

At low volume it sounds good but when you increase volume its sounds warbly and distorted not sure if was a defective but at high volume its terrible.

Not a great product being that it is a beats product

I love this little powerhouse. The size is perfect- not too small, but small enough to carry around loose or in a bag. It is a little heavy compared to similar size portable speakers, but i think that speaks to how well-made it is. The red color makes a statement without being obnoxious in my opinion. The sound is everything you would expect from a Beats product- loud, crisp, clear. The bass comes through without distorting. It took a few tries to get the Bluetooth connection to pair to my phone, but once connected it has been fine. The Beats app allows for easy setup. There are no equalizer settings to change that I could find, but I didn't see a reason to change them personally. You can pair this with another Pill speaker through the app to increase your sound coverage, or pair it with another Pill and set one for right channel and one for left channel to give your space a stereo surround sound. You can also take calls through the speaker directly. I would highly recommend this product.

Beats Pill Portable Speaker While earbuds are nice, only you can hear the music you’re listening to, since the earbuds are in your ears. So, when you want to share your music with others, this Beats Pill portable speaker can be a great choice. Connecting this device via Bluetooth is as easy as it gets. Since it’s well-constructed, it’s a tad on the heavy side, which means you probably wouldn’t want to carry this along on your daily walk (that’s where your earbuds really work great). However, it’s nice that it has a carrying strap and it’s still light enough to move around inside and outside your home. That means you have the flexibility to decide where you want to hear your music now, and then change the speaker’s location whenever you want. And since it’s battery operated, there are no electrical plugs to worry about when you want to move it. Besides playing your music, this device can also be used as a portable charging device. It can charge your phone and other USB-C devices using the included cable. Simply insert one end of the cable into the USB slot on the speaker and the other end to the device you want to charge, and it starts charging the connected device. That’s a nice touch. The Beats Pill has a water- and dust-resistant IP67 rating which means that you don’t have to be afraid to take it outside, since a little bit of rain isn’t going to ruin it. And sharing your music with others could make you the life of the party at the pool or other outdoor gathering! My only recommendation for improving the speaker would be to make the On/Off switch and the Volume Up and Volume Down controls easier to locate and identify. At present, they’re black and are located on the black rubber of the speaker, so they’re not easy to find. Making them white would be a huge improvement. Because this is an Apple product, AppleCare+ battery and accidental damage coverage is available. Decent sound, a solid build with up to 24-hour battery life and backed by Apple means that this is a product that won’t disappoint if you’re comfortable with the price.

I dislike the lack of a carry case . I also dislike the way the sound sounds and this is based on someone who owns an original beats pill. Maybe the newer versions are okay though

Its alright… I would rather go Bose personally. I feel like they could have done a better job on the Pill refresh.

Its Ok for the price, not to loud. If you want something loud nice base this is not it.

decent speaker a lot better than job flips in my opinion

Nearly a year from purchase, this speaker barely holds a battery charge, and when it does charge it takes forever to get to 100% and also dies extremely fast and doesn’t even let you turn it on immediately while plugged in. I would honestly not recommend it at all. Luckily I have a JBL clip 4 that can hold me over til I can get a real speaker but I will not be buying a beats pill when I do that’s for sure. There is only 2 saving graces IMO 1. Quick connect with Apple iPhones 2. Bluetooth range is great

Its not what I expected. Its not loud enough, I cant get it so sound right, tried to adjust the EQ but cant get it to where i like it. Next time I would go for a JBL.

Sounds decent, nothing special. I much rather the bose soundlink

Sound quality is ok but not as well as the first set of beats pills that were discontinued. I returned mine because I also found that it was not very loud. I purchased a JBL which I was fully satisfied with!

Bass is not up to the mark . Sound quality is average

Im not sure why other people complimented this speaker and saying it was good and sounded well. This speakee is not worth the price of over $100. My current speaker i got from Amazon for $32 sounded better. Only reason i was looking for another speaker is because my current one doesnt last long. But yes the sound and quality of this speaker is very low.

I bought the speaker to use in my classroom and struggle to get it to connect to my computer every time I use it. It might even connect, but then the connection drops. Many times, it connects to student devices instead of my device and I have no way to control it or prevent that from happening.

These should be recalled because many are having batteries die just like the XL model. Mine only works plugged in now( have only had for 7 months). Its also not as loud as it was when i bought it. I would give 0 stars, much better options available. Very dissapointed

You cannot find a Bluetooth speaker that's easier to use with Apple devices. All I had to do was power on the Pill with my iPhone nearby, and it automatically found my device. All I had to do was select "connect" on the pop-up, and everything was done. The speaker has its own settings category within the settings app when it's powered on and connected. It gets its own little icon in the Apple music app when you're playing through it. And it automatically pairs with all my Apple devices. I didn't even need to pair it with my iPad because it was already paired to my Apple account through my iPhone. All I needed to do was select it to connect from the Bluetooth devices list. Beyond the ease of use, the sound is also quite good for a speaker of this size. Yes, I can find songs with bass that it can't quite handle, but no other speaker of this size could. And the bass that it does handle is pretty good. The highs are crystal clear. The quality of the construction is also good. The rubber part of the exterior is soft but not too soft, making it seem ready to handle a few bumps during use. The buttons are hard to notice unless you're looking for them. It's a very sleek design overall. If you're already invested in the Apple ecosystem, this is probably the best portable Bluetooth speaker for you.

Its just ok but I expected better from beats. Returned and got jbl

Bought an open box, excellent condition and it came dented and the cable was dirty and pretty sure it wasn't the original one. Speaker performs as expected.

Sounds great but im returning this speaker due to it disconnecting by itself numerous times after 30-45 minutes and even after i factory reset it
