Although Beats shares a lot of technology and expertise with Apple, the brand is otherwise completely self-sufficient, cultivating its own image and design...

The Beats Pill is a great speaker that impresses above all with its stylish, robust and waterproof design. There is little to complain about in terms of sound. And the Pill's battery life of 18.5 hours is good for its size. The Powerbank function via the USB-C port on the back is also great. However, the speaker lacks any real highlights.
