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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

Had to get replaced less than 30 days of ownership

Just buy a JBL. I was so excited to buy this but my old JBL had better sound range and base

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

Not impressed at all way ivwr priced and nothing special about it

decent speaker a lot better than job flips in my opinion

The speaker had a terrible audio quality if you compare it with a ue wonderboom 2 (this product was 65dlls and not 150dlls) honestly i exchange it for a Boom 4 same price better sound.

Sucks battery life sucks, charging sucks, loudness sucks!!!! Way more better speakers out there!!!

Full disclosure – I have an Android Phone and a Microsoft Windows Personal Computer, but I do appreciate the look, feel, and simple interface that Apple related products have. A glass of wine always seems to taste better in a stemmed glass rather than a paper cup – even if it came out of a box. Packaging of the product was top shelf as would be expected. I chose the champagne color option rather than red or black, with some hesitation, although after receiving it, I am happy with that color choice. The speaker itself has good heft to it and appears to have a metal case with a rubberized covering that feels great in your hands when you pick it up. While I cannot say how well it hold up over time, it makes a nice impression. Instructions are minimal and largely intuitive. Additional information is available online via scanning a QR Code. After fully charging the speaker before use, it paired with both my Samsung Galaxy S22+ phone, as well as my new Sony Walkman digital music player. If paired to your phone, and a call comes in, it is a simple single press of the center button on the speaker to answer the call without touching your phone. This allows you to talk and listen while continuing to work on your laptop – if that is what you are doing. Music playback is crisp with decent bass – as would be expected, without distortion except when approaching elevated sound levels. It does have one feature that I have not run across before, that is, it can be used as a battery back up charger for your phone. Just like some EV vehicles can charge your entire house or another EV vehicle. I did not have an opportunity to try this feature, but a USB-C to USB-C cable is included that can be used for that. It does not however come with a power adapter. The most significant “problem” that I may have with the speaker is the lanyard attached to one end of it. The speaker just seems too nice to carry it around and let it possibly bang into things. For now, it will spend its time along side my laptop helping me get my work done – and answering my phone.

I'll admit it, I have long poo-poo'ed the Beats brand both before and after Apple bought it. When the line was launched, I was a hardcore audiophile and the brand was just almost an abomination with flabby bass, shrill highs, and plastic everything. They have gotten better (from my perspective), on almost all of those measures. Their sound profiles now have a bit more nuance, are better controlled, and they don't feel as cheap any more. All that being said, I still wasn't going to get one for me. It was only when my wife saw it that she asked if we could get it for her office. She loves the Champagne Gold color and she wants something 'that just blends' and doesn't stand out as much as my audio gear tends to. I'll admit that the Champagne color IS very nice, and the build quality is solid. Even though this is going to be sitting on her office credenza, I appreciate the IP67 rating. One simple plug for power is nice (though some people might miss an AUX IN - guess we are all in on Bluetooth now), and the integrated controls are easy to find without looking and responsive. I ran the Beats Pill through my 'Audiophile Playlist' that checks everything from frequency response, separation, sibilance, attack, and then just runs through some songs that I know like I know the back of my hand to give a more subjective test. I was impressed with how good the Pill sounded in her office. Even at a relatively low volume (it IS a work environment after all), you get a nice level of sound with an appropriate amount of bass and treble without either getting into their flabby/shrill levels. My wife also likes that she can use it as a speakerphone with Siri. We tried it out with me down the hallway with her and I talking in a normal voice and both of us came through loud and clear. I still prefer earbuds for calls but she hates things in her ears. All-in-all, I came away impressed, and for the price I'm not sure if you could find a better small speaker with the sound/build quality, IP67 rating, and sedate look. The Beats Pill is a great choice if you want a nice speaker that blends in nicely, maintains a rocksteady connection, and sounds really good.

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.

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!
