Just in time to soundtrack your summer adventures, Beats has unveiled a revitalized version of its beloved Beats Pill speaker, now arriving in two vibrant new shades: Navy Blue and Blush Pink. These stylish and sonically superior portable powerhouses are poised to become the essential accessory for every sun-soaked gathering and outdoor escapade.
I had the pleasure of putting the new Beats Pill through its paces; it truly lives up to the hype. First, the aesthetics are a clear win. The sleek, water-resistant design feels robust yet refined, and the new colorways instantly elevate its appeal. I opted for the Blush Pink and found it a delightful addition to my kickback. In a lively backyard setting, the Pill‘s redesigned speaker system, featuring a clever 20º upward tilt, proved remarkably effective. The sound projected beautifully, filling the space with rich, room-filling audio that kept the energy high without distortion.
Beyond outdoor fun, the Beats Pill has quickly become a standard in my condo. Despite its compact size, this speaker delivers surprisingly powerful sound that effortlessly fills the space. Even in my kitchen, the audio reaches clearly throughout the living room and beyond, providing a consistent and immersive listening experience across multiple areas. It’s remarkable how much robust sound this little device can produce, making it perfect for daily listening or setting the mood for guests.
The Pill continued to impress, taking it from the backyard to a serene park setting. Its remarkable portability, thanks to the new removable lanyard, made it incredibly easy to carry. The sound remained consistently clear and powerful, providing the perfect soundtrack for an afternoon outdoors. With an astounding 24 hours of battery life, I never once worried about running out of juice, and the USB-C connectivity meant I could even give my phone a quick power boost. Its IP67 water and sweat resistance offers peace of mind, making it ideal for poolside lounging or unexpected summer showers.
Beats has partnered with WNBA star Angel Reese and former F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo for a series of fun, animated “Pill People” shorts to celebrate this exciting relaunch. Reese’s pink Pill Person, complete with her signature lashes and competitive fire, and Ricciardo’s charismatic blue Pill Person, even performing his iconic ‘shoey,’ add a playful touch to the campaign, perfectly capturing the Pill‘s vibrant spirit.
The new Beats Pill is an undeniable triumph. It’s more than just a speaker; it’s a statement piece that delivers exceptional sound and robust features, making it the ultimate go-anywhere companion for beach days, camping trips, or simply elevating your everyday vibe.
The Beats Pill in Navy Blue is exclusively available at Walmart, while the Blush Pink can be found solely at Target. Both are priced at $149.99 (US).
