Beats by Dre (Apple) - Pill (2024 Model)

You Smokin CRACK To Think That The Pill Is Not Good

I own two. When paired , it is very good. Only one by itself is Mehh.

Beats have come along way, anyone who says the newer ones suck haven't heard anything Beats in a long ass time.

Man there are so many options but currently my favorite speakers are the beats pill got em on sale for 49.99 theure much better than the flip 7 and bose 2 and Sony ult1... imo

I'd agree with you on that as far as sound goes... but thats only up to 60 percent volume... after that the flip 7 goes to shit... had it not id still have mine beats pill holds its sound much better than flip 7 up to those volume levels ... but also beats pill destroys it on battery life .. I mean absolutely smokes it on that and its convenient when ya need to take or make a phonecall.... I never thought id recommend a beats product but more I use them over the last few months since I got a pair of them I love em

If battery life is your main concern, the Beats Pill (2024) is the better option. It offers up to 24 hours of battery life compared to the JBL Flip 6’s 12 hours. Plus, it has USB-C charging and can even be used as a power bank to charge your devices.

I’d recommend the Beats Pill. But if you need something more rugged and don’t mind recharging, the Flip 6 is still a great pick!

Hi, I have an Emberton 2 and it’s awesome although EQing on the streaming device makes it much better..people say the 2 is better than the 3 And many gonna hate me on this but the Beats Pill is a terrific speaker for all Jazz and chill music, although for other complex tracks genres I find it a must to pair two in stereo

Call be an Apple fanboy and I don’t care but I have homepod first gen and it sounds incredible and for Xmas my folks for me the current beats pill and for a bluetooth speaker at this size it sounds great to my ear.

I have the pill and it's at least 5 or 6 year's old, and it sounds great....

Harman Kardon Luna, Apple Beats Pill 2024, Bose Flex 2 Gen ? By pair to have stereo (Yes, more money 😬), I ranked them by preference. I use daily (at low volume with a nice 'kick' if you know what I mean) 2 Pill + 2 Luna, paired all together 😍 The Pill can go lower (56 Hz) while the Luna only 60 Hz and it show in rendition but the Luna's are wider in soundstage. The bass are worse on Bose Flex 2 Gen since it can't go lower than \~64Hz while only going up to 18kHz, the other 2 are up until 20 kHz. If affect the rendition and when compared ear by ear, it's 'hearable' ? Yet if you don't compare them, they all sound more than okay. I couldn't just do it with a mono sound, 2 paired placed strategically render way much than just one speaker, even bigger. And while some HK Go+Play 3 seems nice, it only offer SBC for example, in 2025 HK should offer AAC or even LDAC. At low volume it wouldn't be so pleasant I think, I only have a Onyx Studio in this 'range' to compare. What is the budget / are from if I can ask? Perhaps the genre listened too, or if it varies much like me 😬

The Luna can be found on Amazon for about €112 ATM, that's a fair price considering the 179 originally asked. There is some con though, only down to 60 Hz as mentionned and also only SBC, no app support meaning no EQ except if you use one before sending the sound. No jack either nor USB C Audio, which the Beats Pill provide and is a nice feature to have. The HK Luna in the US offer the USB Audio btw, same on others models, JBL said it was due to some licences. Great in Europe to have same price and limited features 😭 I found the Pill for €100 when in sales a few weeks back, but that's an indoor speaker given the grille, one drop and it's dented haha. Don't get me wrong, they both sound great; but I prefer them in pair since most speaker are mono and not stereo from the start, the sound will sound 'tiny'. As for the [Earfun](https://www.myearfun.com/speakers/earfun-uboom-l-portable-waterproof-bluetooth-speakers-black) mentionned by someone esle, I was hesitant too because of the low price on the site, way cheaper than Amazon and for 2 it'll be only €80. Since the return isn't free like on Amazon and since I couldn't find the range, asked Perplexity and found [Rtings](https://www.rtings.com/speaker/reviews/earfun/uboom-l) which resume by : >The EarFun UBOOM® L Bluetooth speaker has a tested frequency response range of approximately 74.4Hz (low-frequency extension) to 16.3kHz (high-frequency extension). This means it starts to roll off below 74Hz in the bass and doesn't reproduce the deepest sub-bass, while the treble extends up to about 16.3kHz.  So, in rendition, the low bass from EDM and some techno or dub step will sound dull on it. And given they can't seem to go higher than 16.3kHz, it'll lack a bit in that area. Hence why I didn't purchased, there is some video on youtube comparing one vs a Denon Envaya which was way better in rendition, it can be heard :) In that price range, you might consider Xiaomi ASM02 (€60 on Amazon, 360° 40W and app support) but a little bit too much emphasized on the high/treble, there is also the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor (nop app support/EQ) which is about €40 each, mono sound of 30W but less treble, more boomy, kinda a JBL Flip 6 and sometimes better imho (I have 2 along with one 40W 🤭) I don't plan to spend more than €100 on a bluetooth speaker that are SBC only and/or without any battery swappable capability. When the battery is dead, so is the speaker, kinda if it's not easily remplacable :)

I did some comparisons to Bowers and Wilkins and HomePod mini: Beats Pill https://youtu.be/tzR9vqvTYWk?si=uDBk-ejRNLgIzoUN Bowers and Wilkins T7 - https://youtu.be/QnPJ4pyG3o8?si=VP3_tWEFKZg2GcJk HomePod Mini - https://youtu.be/pbUHRS40k0k?si=OZ4cZciNoH-zuvlW Bowers and Wilkins A5 - https://youtu.be/OVTljhq-lBQ?si=I7k87Ss3gXpE0MEo
