Beats Pill
Sales are guaranteed, but is Beat's first portable speaker any good?
NFC Bluetooth pairing, Clear conference calls
Music reproduction is weak and lacks bass, Exorbitantly expensive, Limited battery life

Beats Pill review: a Bluetooth speaker with style, great sound and… too few buttons
A Pill that's much easier to swallow, thanks to the top sound
Detailed, layered audio – especially in USB-C mode ; Great bass weight for its size ; Classy design; good stamina
No adjustable EQ ; Buttons can be a little tricksy ; Dual Pill pairing only
It still looks like a Beats Pill, but, in truth, Apple started from scratch with its long-awaited Beats-branded Bluetooth speaker update. And it's almost all very good news. There's excellent audio quality thanks to a new driver array under the hood...

Beats Pill review
Is Beats finally finding its stride?
Clean, clear sound ; Rich bass ; Great design for travel ; IP67 rated
Neither as ‘big’ sounding nor as dynamic as the very best
A great portable speaker with lots to like, but dynamically struggles against our favourites at this price

Beats Pill (2024) review: small speaker, big attitude
The updated Pill is loud, proud, and fully waterproof
Powerful, well-rounded sound ; Durable, waterproof construction ; Classic Beats styling ; Long battery life with quick charge ; Stereo pairing
You have to press the button for a bit too long to turn the speaker on/off
The new Beats Pill marks a significant upgrade from its predecessor, maintaining its iconic shape while introducing lighter construction and IP67 dust and water resistance. Sound quality is bolstered by a redesigned woofer system, delivering powerful,...

Beats Pill review
Is the Beats by Dre Pill Bluetooth speaker an antidote to the Jawbone Jambox?
Portability ; The big red ‘b’ ; Loud volume
Uninspiring design ; Bass performance ; Below par battery

Beats by Dr. Dre Pill
All style and little substance – the Pill isn't talented enough to compete with more accomplished class rivals
Small and portable ; Easy to use: Swift pairing ; Agile, speedy rhythm ; Livens up with punchy, bass-heavy music
Thin and weak sound ; Could be more detailed, dynamic and agile ; Picky with music genre ; Pricey
If you’re after that characteristic bold and bass-tastic Beats sound, you’ll be disappointed with the Pill. It’s pricey, too: we expect a much more engaging and articulate listen for £170.

Beats Pill portable speaker
Beats is renowned for bringing the bass. The company's latest portable speaker, known as the Beats Pill because of its pill-shaped design, is a change of tack for the company in many respects. With four, 1-inch speakers arranged under its casing with...
Plenty of volume, NFC, Bluetooth, carry case, quirky design, on-device volume controls
Lacks bass, some distortion issues (volume, battery life and track dependent) pricey, battery doesn't last as long as we'd like
If Beats minus much of the bass sounds like a hard pill to swallow then the Pill won't be the product for you. There's volume aplenty though and, in isolation and assuming it's not cranked "up to 11" where distortion is often apparent, the Pill...

Hands-on: Beats Pill review - Pocket-lint
Beats by Dr Dre has become so much more than a brand associated with bass-thumping headphones in the last year or so. Perhaps it's the company's split

Beats Pill+ Speaker review
The first Apple-fied Beats speaker isn't quite what the doctor ordered
Multiroom aspirations ; Decent battery life ; Clean, compact design
Not waterproof ; Lacks expression ; App not UK-ready yet ; Pricey for the performance
The best Pill yet gets the Apple treatment, but leaves us prescribing more talented rivals

Beats by Dr. Dre Pill review
Portable Bluetooth speakers seem to be one of the most popular consumer technology devices right now, so it's no surprise to see Beats jump into the game. The Beats Pill is compact, well designed and easy to use, but it lacks bass, distorts at high...
The Beats Pill is a compact, well designed and easy to use portable Bluetooth speaker. However, it lacks bass, distorts at high volume levels and is overpriced. Spend your money elsewhere.
