The Beats Pill has made a return with a new design and a host of user-friendly features like USB-C audio and charging, IP67 dust and water resistance, and support for both Apple Find My and Google’s Find My Device with Fast pairing available on both iOS and Android.
Beats is promising that the new Pill will “deliver more powerful, room-filling sound, bigger bass and improved tonality across the audio spectrum”.
First, it has a 20-degree upward tilt that the company says gives the Pill better sound projection, while minimising reflected sound.
Second, it boasts a completely re-engineered racetrack woofer (this is where the woofer is shaped like a racetrack due to space constraints making circular speakers not ideal) and comes with stronger neodymium magnets that helps drive 28% more motor force and displaces 90% more air volume, to deliver more of a punch with deeper, fuller bass. At the same time, the redesigned tweeter delivers crisp highs and rich mid-range tones.

Thirdly, with Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, you can link it to your smartphone and take calls and activate your voice assistant right from your paired Beats Pill, you can also sync two Beats Pill speakers for double the audio experience in Amplify Mode or Stereo Mode.
Designed to provide sound where you need it, the new Beats Pill has an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance (meaning it is dust and waterproof), is 10% lighter than its predecessor, has a removable carry lanyard, and a soft-grip silicone backing so it won’t slip when you carry it.
The Beats Pill has up to 24 hours of continuous playback and its “Fast Fuel” feature gives you 2 hours of music playback from a 10-minute charge.
