    Beats Pill Returns: All-Day Battery & $149 Price

    Apple has reintroduced the iconic 'Pill'. The Beats Pill has made a comeback as the latest portable Bluetooth speaker in years. Beats by Dr. Dre released its last Pill series speaker a couple of years ago. So, what’s new and improved? Let’s explore.

    Beats Pill (2024): What Makes It Stand Out?

    The 2024 Beats Pill is instantly recognizable due to its pill-shaped design, reminiscent of the first Beats Pill rather than the more recent Beats Pill+. Apple has been concentrating on its own smart speaker lineup in recent years, so the return of Beats speakers is a welcome shift. According to official statements, the new Beats Pill delivers robust audio thanks to its custom woofer and upgraded tweeter.

    This is all housed in a body with an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance. Essentially, you can take the party anywhere and enjoy music from any location. One of the significant upgrades in the new Beats Pill over its predecessor is its battery life. The previous Beats Pill+ offered up to 12 hours of battery life, while the latest model promises a full day of usage on a single charge. Additionally, you can charge your smartphone using the Beats Pill.

    Enhanced Features

    The new speakers also support fast charging, with just 10 minutes of charging providing up to 2 hours of audio playback. Other notable features include compatibility with both Android and Apple devices (including Apple’s Find My and Android’s Find My Device), Amplify Mode, Stereo Mode, USB-C, support for calls, and voice assistants.

    The Beats Pill is priced at 149 US Dollars and is available in three colors: Gold, Red, and Black.
