Amazon is now offering all five colors of the latest Beats Pill speaker down at $99.99 shipped. We recently featured the two new gray variants at this price, but Amazon has now brought back its Black Friday discount on the Matte Black, Statement Red, and Champagne Gold models as well. Regularly $150, this is a straight up $50 price drop, the lowest price we can find, and on par with the best Black Friday and holiday offers we tracked at the tail end of 2024.
While still relatively familiar in form and function, the new Beats Pill did get a refresh in 2024 with some new tricks and built-in Apple Find My tech too. The Apple brand says it has been “completely redesigned and reengineered.”
After getting hands-on, our major takeaway was that the Beats Pill “is back and better than ever.” Alongside the IP67-rated protection again dust and water, the familiar pill-shaped form-factor houses a battery that supports up to 24 hours of operation as well as the usual 10-minute Fast Fuel tech that adds another 2 hours of listening time.
While the latest Beats Pill does work with Android devices as well, it is the Apple ecosystem-specific tech that really makes it stand apart from previous iterations if you ask me:
- One-touch pairing
- iCloud pairing – pair with every device on your iCloud account
- iPhone/Apple Watch pairing – you can automatically hand off audio to Apple Watch when your iPhone is out of range
- Built-in Apple Find My tech
All-new Beats Pill features:
- The Beats Pill delivers powerful, room-filling sound. The bigger, bespoke racetrack woofer displaces 90% more air volume, packing more of a punch with deeper, fuller bass.
- The Beats Pill has up to 24 hours of battery life for all-day playback and can be used to charge your phone or other devices via USB-C cable.
- The portable speaker is IP67-rated for dust and water resistance3 for outstanding durability and includes a removable lanyard and soft-grip silicone backing to make it easy to take with you.
- The redesigned tweeter provides extra stability for crisp highs and rich mid-range tones while the woofer’s material and structure helps minimize low-end distortion even at high volumes.
- Enjoy high-resolution lossless audio from your Beats Pill by connecting it to your laptop or other compatible devices via the USB-C cable.
