    I love this speaker. I take it everywhere with me, from my desk at work to while Im getting ready at home, not to mention the weekends! Its louder than the JAMBOX and doesn't clip or sound distorted at high volumes like the JAMBOX. Kudos BEATS BY DR. DRE, you killed it!!!

    Big sound from small WIRELESS package

    When my desktop speakers died, I had a few criteria I wanted for my next set of speakers:

    1. Less desktop space as possible. (My previous set took up a bit of desk space)
    2. Wireless (This was KEY! Tired of cleaning up cords and having lines running all over. Also hooked on the convenience of AirTunes)

    Was looking at the Jambox and other options but then the Pill came out. Honestly, was a little dubious of the type of sound that could come out from these small speakers, but decided to give them a try. Full disclosure, I'm not a huge "turn the volume to the max" sort of audio listener, I'm more of an "enjoy clean and full sounding sound" kind of guy. These DEFINITELY fit the bill for me. The sound is GREAT plus you'll be surprised at how high you can crank these badboys.

    It hit my space and wireless criteria. I love how it can be paired with 8 devices. I have it going off my Macbook, iPhone, iPad for now.

    The only con for now is that I bought the white version and I'm a little worried about how resilient it will be to dirt, especially because after seeing how convenient and small it is, I've been carrying it around with me.

    The pill look like exactly what its called; a pill. It is small enough to carry every where without adding extra bulk or weight. Great for traveling. When I got these speakers I wasn't able to test it out in the store, so I went on a whim because I know Beats by dr. Dre produces such great products. It easily pairs with any bluetooth device, even if it doesn't pair, there is an aux port which also works great; no difficulty using. For such a little device it is really loud and on the highest volume music sounds very crisp and clear. The only issue is sometimes when you pair with devices, it would just stop working mid song which it has done on several occasions, and I had to re-pair my device. It's annoying, but it doesn't really take away from it's amazing qualities. I love.

    I saved up for these for four months and It was worth the wait. The sound is incredible, however every blue moon the bluetooth will not work (but I use an iPad 2 that has been through a lot). I highly recommend these speakers to anyone who wants some portable wireless speakers with impecable sound.

    Very disappointed. Sound crackled and BT connection cut out.

    I had previously owned the Jambox Bluetooth speaker but was hoping a Beats version might sound better. But after using the Pill with an iPhone 5 and a 4th gen iPad, the sound occasionally crackled and the BT connection sometimes got lost. The battery also doesn't last as long. Comparing the two, the BT connection is much more stable with the Jambox and seemed more reliable. The convenience of a small BT speaker for personal or small group listening is great, but this model was frustrating to use. I decided to return mine and get another Jambox.

    Dissapointed

    It is small and it does work, but the sound is very small. It has no highs and no bass to speak of.

    It doesn't dock or attack to any apple devices and it looks like a Lego. This is $200? There are much better options from Defintive and JBL.

    Sounds like its broken

    Honestly for $199 this product is a waste of money. The mids and highs distort and the bass sounds muddy and sloppy. The thing walks all over the place when you have the music on. You would be better off to go for a $50 ihome product or the $99 JBL bluetooth speaker instead. All you're paying for is the name "Dr. Dre"...
