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.

In the speaker test, the best Bluetooth and WiFi devices score highly with their rich sound and ease of use. However, only a few offer this complete package. Natural sounding bass, clearly audible details and balanced, lively sound - this is what the perfect speaker should sound like...

  • Negativequite high price

The Beats Pill scores with its first-class design, robust workmanship and impressive sound, ideal for travelling. Despite strong competition, it remains an option worth recommending, especially for Beats fans. However, the price of 170 euros could be a deterrent.
