Beats Pill Review

Beats by Dr. Dre have Always been about Going Big on Sound Quality with Planty of Styles. While its focus has always been on its on its headphones and (more recently, twes earphones), beats have also launched some interesting portable speakers in the past (albeit varry few in number). However, this past did not include India, which only recently got access to beats’ audio products. With an official India launch Now done, I get to try out the brand’s recently launched pill portable speaker and it surely makes a lasting impression.

Beats Pill Review Design: Looks Great, Works Great

• Dimensions – 218.44mm x 71.12mm x 71.12mm
• Weight – 680g
• Durability – IP67

The pill-shaped Speaker has a refined Capsule-shaped design compared to previous models from the line-up. The Beats Pill Has its tweter and woofer laid out side by side and is angled with a 20-degree upward tilt so that the music is always facing the listener and not bouncing off objects in frost of it s low as a coffee table .

The Beats Pill Speaker has a Premium Feeling Rubberized Texture With a Contour Grill Grill Protecting Its Tweter and Woofer underneath

The soft rubber coating is Quite Grippy and Gives It a Sense of Durability. The speaker grille with the beats logo in the middle is well-runded. I’m glad that the bottom is flattened out a bit. Thanks to this, the speaker remain in place, giving the deep bases it can delivery. I also like the dimples for control buttons, which I did initially find a bit Dificult to locate at first but I get used to them after a week. I really wished that these buttons had a backlight, as they can be hard to find in dimly liteups, especially when you have the matt black finish.

The base of this pill-shaped speaker is flat. Also visible here is the USB-C port used for charging and lossless audio

Its pill-shaped design is as broad as an apple iPhone 16 Pro, which isn’t too broad. This, Along with its rounded design, makes it very easy to slide into a backpack. Apart from the loop for the Lanyard, there’s only one cavity, and that’s for its usb-c port, which remains well hidden and out of sight at the back.

Its removable lanyard is easy to attach or detach

There’s a removable lanyard that’s easy to attach and detach and kind of makes up for the speaker’s permanently horizontal orientation. In case you do’t happen to have a place to lay down its somehere, you can always hang it off a hook or even a trees. The IP67-Rated Design means it can easily withstand heavy rain and even submersion in water (for about 15 minutes) or sand, so do afraid to take it poolside or to the beach.

Weighing over Half a Kilo, this portable Speaker Sure is Heavy. It’s not a problem, thought, unless you plan to hang one from your backpack while hiking.

Beats Pill Review Specifications and Software: Feature-Packed

• Connectivity – Bluetooth V5.3 (Multipoin)
• Companion App – Android/iOS
• Ports – USB -C (Audio out and charging)

The beats pill have four buttons. The power button is also used to put the device in pairing mode Bles up as playback controls. But since the same just one button, it can get quite complex and fidges as it involves remambering multiple pressure patterns. A Built-in Mic Can also be used as a solid conference speaker in case you need to at as a work call on vacation or in an office.

Its four buttons have a lot of overlapping functions, which can get annoying at times

Beats have also included a proprietary chip (no, it’s not an h-series chip from apple) that lets it seamlessly communicate with ios android-power. It’s nice to have this over the previous (apple-friend .

The Beats Companion App Awailable on iOS and Android (Shown Above) Devices does not offer an equaliser

There’s also a company app called beats, which is available on Android and iOS devices and basically Tells you the battery status. It also lets you rename the speaker, customise the functions of the control buttons and more importantly, update your device’s firmware when needed.

Beats Pill Review Performance: Two’s company

• Battery – Non -Removable Lithium‑ion
• Charging Cable – Yes
• Stereo Mode – Yes

The Volume Level from the Beats Pill Speaker is more than Sufficient to Deliver Rich Room-Filling Sound for a Large Hall Room or even when you will outdoors in a Pool Area. The speaker does get hot when the volume level is maxed out, but I decided no issues even when using it this way for a less hours.

If you still feel that one speaker isn’t sufficient for your outdoor needs, Beats lets you connect two of them together to deliver more power in Amplify mode or better separation (and a much wider soundstage) in Stereo mode. I experience this stereo mode at the India launch and I must say it is very impressive, giving However, stereo mode only supports two pill speakers at the moment, and they need to be in the same room (not too far apart).

Its tweeter and woofer are laid out side by side and are angled with a 20-degree upward tilt

Coming to the sound, I loved separating the lows, mids and highs, even at max volume. I listened to flare smin’s wish you were here (which is known for its mids and highs) Curawaka’s Noku Mana also Sounded Great Despite The Slightly Bass-HEVY APPROACH SOCAUSE This Speaker Delivers Bass that is Clear and Well-Defined, Not Muddy or Boomy. Listening to the same track at 50 percent volume, I realized how the base overpowers mainly at high volume. At 50 percent volume, the Vocals, Along with the Mids and Highs, Sounded Quite Pronounced, Keeping Things Balanced.

What I missed is some kind of preset Eq Mode, which, at the pressure of a button (we need more of that here), Cold Either Cut Down the Bass or Boost Itnever Needed Or Depending on the Occasion. Regardless, the current sound signature will still appeal to the masses quite well. The speaker can also deliver lossless sound when connected in wired mode, but I did not not notice any noticeable change in sound quality upon doing so.

Battery Life is Quite Solid for a Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Especially Given its compact dimensions

Battery life with the beats pill speaker is quite solid. I took it for a weekend trip, Blasted Tunes at Maximum Volume for About 4-6 hours a day, and still had a 35 percent charge left. With regular use at 50 percent volume (which is quite sufficient for indoor use), beats claims that this speaker will last 24 hours of continuous playback time. The company also also claims that beats’ Fast Fuel Charging Tech Provides 2 hours of usage with a 10-minute charge.

Beats Pill Review: Verdict

If you are looking for somenting better (At Around Rs. 10,000- 12,000) Before you can even consider the new beats pill at Rs. 16,900.

The advantage the beats pill has over other speakers is that it works well and seamlessly connects with bot bot and osaroid and ios smartphones. It is one of the more premium-looking speakers available at this price point, and its capsule-shaped design makes it easy to slide into a tote or backpack. It offers Excellent Battery Life, and Pairing Two of them in stereo mode lets you Enjoy them even better.

The beats pill have been designed to been designed to impress audiographles but to deliver rich, Enjoyable Bass (For a Compact Speaker), Keeping Things for the Regular Listans All Tys . Music on it is best enjoyed at Around 50-70 Percent Volume, and this means it’s perfect for enjoying music next to you at a pool but not at a pool party.
