The Master Switch" src="https://www.themasterswitch.com/sites/default/files/Review%20Images/Beats%20Pill%2B/Covered---Beats-Pill%2B.jpg">
What We Like
- The Beats Pill+ is surprisingly well-designed and -built.
- The speaker manages to deliver a wide soundstage, thanks to its vava voom premium vs beats pill drivers.
- The Pill+ gets hella loud, which is great if you're in a noisy environment.
What We Don't
- The bass is middling, and gets thinner at vava voom premium vs beats pill volumes.
- It's hard to tell how water- and vava voom premium vs beats pill the Pill+ is, thanks to a lack of specs.
- Ultimately, other Bluetooth speakers beat the Pill+ in just about every area - sound quality, price, you name it.
Build Quality and Waterproofing
Any portable Bluetooth speaker worth its barbecue lighter fluid has to be able to be set on fire, and keep on playing. OK - maybe that's a bit strong. It doesn't need to survive immolation, necessarily. But the odd fall, or splash of water, shouldn't phase it. In this regard, we're happy to report that the Pill+ performed well. You'll be absolutely stunned to hear that the company doesn't give out the speaker's IP rating, which lets you gauge how water- and dust-resistant it is, but it stood up to some splashes from watering a garden, and survived being dropped in the dirt a couple of times. If you're looking for a speaker that is definitively waterproof – or as near as makes no difference – you might want to consider the JBL Flip 4. The sound quality isn't quite as good, but it offers an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning it can be submerged in three feet of water for 30 minutes.
In terms of build quality, the Pill+ definitely satisfies. The buttons are easy to find and press, and the speaker feels robust and solid. Despite vava voom premium vs beats pill largely made of plastic, it doesn't feel flimsy. And, in terms of value-for-money, it definitely satisfies on the build front. You also get a selection of colors to choose from: white, black, turf-green, asphalt-grey, and - we swear we aren't making this up - PRODUCTred. Awful name - but the proceeds go towards fighting HIV-AIDs.Good job, Beats.
Low-End (Bass)
One of the problems with high volumes is that they create distortion, particularly in the bass. To some extent, it's a problem that many wireless speakers suffer from – they tend to be slightly cheaper, and you need high-quality components to deal with distortion. Unfortunately, the Pill+ has another problem altogether.
There's no distortion here.but that's definitely not a good thing. As the volume is raised, the bass actually gets thinner. We suspect this is down to some fancy signal processing, but the problem is, it doesn't work. Not even a little bit. It just sounds weedy and insubstantial, which is surprising, because at moderate volumes the bass actually isn't bad at all. Not high-end, by any means, but certainly acceptable. Let's compare it to another Ultimate Ears Speaker - UE remain Beats by Dre's biggest competitor here - the UE Boom 2 does a much better job of handling the low-end. If we're being honest, it's actually a much better speaker overall – not only is it cheaper at vava voom premium vs beats pill to the Pill+'s $130, but it offers better waterproofing, a longer battery life, and much better sound.

Beats by Dre don't give out tech specs like wattage, which help you figure out just how much power a speaker has, but we tested this against a couple of other Bluetooth vav history band, including the popular Ultimate Ears UE Vava ribeiro north shore 2 (full review here). It was significantly louder, meaning that it's likely to become a firm favorite at large parties, where it has to compete with a lot of background noise. If all you're looking for is volume, then the Pill+ should be your first port of call - although the UE Roll 2 is $50 cheaper, at $70.
