Fun product. Great design
That is ergonomic and easy to hold. Comes with plenty of accessories
Including a carrying case. Crazy powerful for such a little speaker. Shines on vocals and highs

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
And Apple iOS 6 users may encounter an unacceptable amount of Bluetooth hiccuping. The speaker doesn't acquit itself terribly well with big bass tracks from artists like Dr. Dre
Lacks buttons for changing tracks
No Voice Command/Call Announce
Speakerphone suffers from latency
Uninspiring design
Bass performance Below par battery
USB-C volume is finicky
No USB-C port cover
Close to zero bass. Frequent dropouts
Even when line of sight was maintained. Upper frequencies are harsh — and so is the price
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.The Pill simply doesn't have the sonic talents to match its class r...
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.Tags:AudioBest prices todayRetailer Price Delivery Price comparisi...
Abstract: Bluetooth speakers can be a perfect way to give the music selection on your smartphone or tablet a bit of a volume boost. Simple to connect up and easy to use, the Beats Pill and Ultimate Ears Boom are two of the best. Neither are hugely cheap, however, a...
Connectivity, Finish, Small size, Hard shell carrying case
Utter lack of bass, High saturation
The Pill has an army of seriously formidable competitors to go up against. Yes, it's small and the pill shape is cool. But the most important feature—the sound quality—fails to impress. Beats is relying too much on brand image and design to justify chargi...
Abstract: I've been spending a few months on one of my favourite islands: Manhattan. And among my techie observations is that the marketing wipeout the over-hyped Beats brand has achieved in the US is even greater than in the UK. By giving its plasticky headphones ...
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 deli...
ShareBeats, quickly becoming the most-recognisable (and most visible) headphones brand on the market, have been branching out of the headwear game since breaking from their partners at Monster. The latest fruits to come forth from the Dr Dre-endorsed bran...

Sleek design, Works well as a speakerphone, NFC support
Distorts heavily at high volumes, Expensive for its capabilities
The Beats Pill offers a unique form factor and doubles as a good speakerphone, but it simply doesn't offer a good enough level of sound quality to justify its £170 price tag. While you might get a reasonably loud and clear listening experience on one tra...
Music reproduction is weak and lacks bass, Exorbitantly expensive, Limited battery life
A new year and a new product line, but it results in a familiar outcome as we again find the Beats by Dre product line has prioritised style over substance. In fact in the case of the Pill it is arguable that, despite high quality build materials, it does...
