The 2024 Pill upgrades beyond a simple refresh, packing surprises like lossless USB-C audio and seamless support for both iOS and Android users.
The new Beats Pill packs a punch! This 2024 portable Bluetooth speaker boasts rich bass, a sleek design, and impressive durability with dust-proof and waterproof capabilities. All for a cool £149.99 from Beats, it undercuts competitors (like JBLs Charge 5) while offering top-notch features.
While some speakers offer customisable sound or light shows, the Beats Pill instead stands out for its go-anywhere build, high-quality audio (both wired and wireless), and seamless integration with Apple devices.
The speaker is compact and lightweight, making it easy to toss in a bag for outdoor adventures. It comes in three stylish colours — name Champagne Gold, Matte Black, or Statement Red — and features a convenient built-in lanyard so you won’t accidentally drop it in the pool. Though as it is IP67 rated, it can stay submerged in the water for up to 30 minutes!
Internally, the angled drivers deliver clear sound with strong bass. The speaker offers Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity and works flawlessly with Apple devices. Android users can still enjoy great audio, but won’t have access to all the advanced codecs.
Two great things about it is that it features lossless audio when connected via USB-C (which admittedly might be overkill on a device this size), and the same port automatically detects if it’s being charged by a device (like a laptop) or if it should act as a power bank for your phone. But you’re not limited to this automatic mode — a simple triple-tap on the power button lets you take control and choose the charging direction.
Overall, the Beats Pill 2024 is a great choice for anyone seeking a portable, powerful, and user-friendly Bluetooth speaker.
