    A Real Pill of Speaker

    • Written by from Sausalito

    I bought this product thinking it would handle bass well. It does not. I thought it would project sound well. It does not. I thought it would perform superiorly to the little Jambox. It does not. Even the tiny Logitec UE speaker is superior. I will take it back to the store today. …More

    Pretty good

    • Written by from Owensboro

    Until you charge the Pill all the way, it will sound horrible and crackle and pop a lot; this makes the Pill very disappointing at first. After the charge, my Pill no longer crackles. This thing is extremely loud for its size and has really nice highs and mids. It is lacking a little bit on the bass, but you can still hear it. Personally, I feel like this should be about $50 cheaper since it's lacking the bass Beats are known for, but for the loudness, build quality, size and features, it's pretty much worth it. I didn't get mine from Apple but figured I'd try to help the reviews because I guarantee the people in the other reviews didn't let it fully charge before making their decision on taking it back. The packing is very nice and almost confusing when opening the first time. After using mine for a day, I really like it and suggest it to anybody looking for a portable bluetooth speaker. …More

    Not worth it

    • Written by from San Antonio

    I thought that this product was going to be worth the $200 price tag but you shouldn't even waste your time. For this to be a beats product it falls well below the beats standard. I went and bought a jambox instead and enjoy that much more than the staticky sound that the beats pill has. …More
