Beats Pill is a line of portable Bluetooth speakers produced by Beats Electronics, presently a subsidiary of Apple Inc. The speakers are characterized primarily by their capsule-like form factor. Several Pill models have been released since thee original launch in 2012, with the most recent version released in 2024.
The original model received mixed reviews, with critics praising its industrial design and ease-of-use, but believing that its sound quality was lacking in the low end, and was not high enough to justify the product's price. The updated Beats Pill+ model received more positive reviews, with critics believing that it had cleaner and more balanced audio, albeit still lacking in overall power output.
