Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love the Beats Pill+! People have complained about bass levels not being enough, but they may not be placing the speaker in a good location. For the best bass response the Pill+ will have to be placed on a book self, table top with wall behind, or any other place that will give you the sound you're looking for. Get up off the couch and move that thing around until you find some good spots! Treble is clear, high hats are very clearly represented but not overly loud. Acoustic guitar sounds incredible crisp coming out of the pill+. The Beats Pill 2.0 (Not this one) sounded horrible when compared side by side with the Pill+. Tested at Bestbuy side by side. Bluetooth wise, my phone is plugged in about 40ft or so away through two walls, sound quality is still excellent without any breaking up problems. I have had iPhones now for the last few generations and I am used to and have many lighting connected adaptors and cords, so charging the Pill+ and my phone can be accomplished by carrying one single cord. I have been using the pill for about a week now for a couple hours a day at a volume suitable for setting in front of me on the desk. (med - low) and I have yet to charge the battery its at 60% according to the lights. If you want a very portable speaker and backup battery for yourself, then the Beat Pill+ is for you. If you want to rock out your house and have parties, you might need to look somewhere else. The pill gets plenty loud enough but I don't crank any product up to it's limits for the long term and expect it to last. Keep it at reasonable levels and I bet this thing will last a long time! The Pill+ is somewhat heavy, but that means to me a big battery and heavy neodymium speaker magnets to make it sound great. I don't expect to survive a high fall on hard ground, nor would you expect your tablet, phone, or any other technology you have around. Definitely feels well made while in the hands. Take care of all your tech, keep it clean, be careful and it will last you so much longer. It is so easy to mistreat things and then blame the manufacturer. Don't be that person.
