While we are still awaiting the first cash deal on the lauded new Powerbeats Pro 2 – here’s our hands-on review, Amazon has just knocked $50 off the revamped Beats Pill portable Bluetooth speaker. You’ll now find the standard Matte Black, Statement Red, and Champagne Gold colors all marked down to $99.95 shipped. Regularly $150, this is $50 off the going rate and the lowest price we can find.
There was a very brief dip down to $98 on the red model last fall, but today’s deals are otherwise on par with all of the discounts we have tracked on the latest speaker from the Apple brand since release last summer, and that includes the Black Friday and holiday offers in late 2024.
After getting a chance to test out the latest Beats Pill back in June when it launched, our overall takeaway was that it’s back and better than ever.
We are once again getting the familiar namesake form-factor joined by Beats’ penchant for matte black and bold, vibrant red paint jobs, alongside an IP67-rated design for water and dust resistance.
Battery life tops out at roughly 24 hours – a 10-minute Fast Fuel power-up nets you an additional 2 hours of listening time – with USB-C charging and the ability to leech some of its battery power for your iPhone, or something along those lines.
You will find proprietary Beats silicon under the hood for cross-compatibility on iPhone and Android, but Apple users will see some notable bonus features here too. Those include built-in Find My tracking as well as iPhone/Apple Watch pairing – you can automatically hand off audio to your wearable when iPhone is out of range – as well as the ability to instantly pair it with every piece of gear on your iCloud account.
Head over to our hands-on review for a closer look and more details on the user experience.
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 resistance 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
