This beats (pun intended) the Roam by a mile : [https://www.beatsbydre.com/speakers/beats-pill](https://www.beatsbydre.com/speakers/beats-pill) We have a HomePod taped to the bottom of a closet in the bathroom for 3 years now, works like a charm tho.

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

I'd get the tronsmart fiitune x30 think jbl extreme 4 but better in every single way besides bein not quite as durable for mother nature but also a lot cheaper and absolutely smokes it for sound quality ... holds it bass all the way up to 100 percent volume I can't recommend it enough.... if ya want smaller than those size speakers id recommend a pair of beats pill speakers they smoke the flip 7 in having way better battery life can take or make calls with them and never thought id say it but they impress the hell outta me the more I use them ...

Hey guys its been a long time since i last posted but here we are again! So i wanted to share my collection so far Soundcore boom 2 (Main speaker for home mostly) (2) Beats pills 2024 (For stereophonic sound they have super deep bass for their size i truly like them and i carry them everyday!) Tribit stormbox micro 2 (still my favourite speaker in size till today i got it previous week but i also had one in the older times but i sold it still awesome for everyday carry without taking much space!) Jbl go5 (Got it today and honestly its so fucking good! i don't know why people say its bad the lights are awesome i love the color and with some eq the bass is incredible for the size!!) Total value worth (468.75€)! My favourite speakers out of my collection is defenitly the beats pills 🔥 So yeah tell me how many speakers you have and which one is your favourite so far!

Nice there op i think that the beats pill is worth only if you get 2 of them it is a little expensive but i it is worth it becuse they sound crystal clear in stereo mode a single one is good too but it dosen't sound that good. Hope i helped you :D

For reference I listen to alot of EDM, hardstyle, bass heavy stuff. I got a beats pill for christmas and I feel like it does a good job at low volume, not a lot of bass unfortunately really and when I crank it up, i can start to hear a little distortion. Would the JBL charge 6, be a better choice? Or would you recommend a different speaker?

At that price, check out the Beats Pill. It's got a great battery and would be perfect for both of those scenarios. Over the summer it was my go to speaker for pool days at my apartment, plenty of bass and not overly loud that im getting noise complaints from neighbors lol

In that case, I’d recommend the Flip 7 over the Soundlink Flex based on features (better app, 7-band EQ, louder, Auracast, rugged). Beats Pill is decent but lacks the bass depth that the JBL and Bose has. The 2 passive woofers on the sides of the Flip 7 is a feature, not a bug 😅 It helps provide better bass and fuller sound, but yeah, you can see it vibrating.
