The editors didn't like
Not the most rugged portable speaker out there
But the included carrying case makes up for that. Had some issues when pairing and often had to turn the Pill on and off. Bass is weak. Observed some distortion and popping at very high volumes
Distorts heavily at high volumes
The Pill is somewhat pricey

Speakerphone suffers from latency
Uninspiring design
Bass performance Below par battery
USB-C volume is finicky
No USB-C port cover

Abstract: It's been about six months since I reviewed five mobile Bluetooth speakers to see how well they compared. These lightweight speakers were meant to make up for the awful sound quality provided by most smartphones and tablets (and many laptops, for that ...

The Beats Pill outperforms the Jawbone Jambox and has a couple of intriguing extra features, but Apple iOS 6 users may encounter some problems.
