PROS

  • The Pill 2 from Beats has a sleek, iconic design.
  • It easily connects to a music source either wired or wirelessly. It can be paired to another Pill by tapping the two together or to any other speaker using an audio cable.
  • The Pill 2 can charge other mobile devices.

CONS

  • The surprising lack of bass and overall sound quality doesn't match its price tag.
  • The case doesn't fit any cords or accessories, seems flimsy and susceptible to dirt--especially the white version.
  • It won't stand normally when USB is attached.
Available in black, red, white, blue and gold with accents, this sequel to the original Pill comes with a longer battery life rated at seven hours, a port for charging other USB devices, and the ability to pair Pills by tapping them together. It offers speakerphone capabilities, and it comes with power and audio cables, a wall charger and a soft case designed to protect the speaker from scratches during transport.

Beats sells more off their brand name than the quality of their products. I personally don't think it is worth the money.

Buying a Beats Pill 2.0 would be a waste of money if you are expecting superb, premium sound the way you get from a Bose products.

It’s among the most expensive speakers on this list, and one of the worst-sounding. Stay far away.

This is a speaker best enjoyed at 80 per cent of its maximum power, where the sound it produces is loud and enjoyable without being coloured or impeded in any way.
