Additional video notes:
$50 cheaper than the Beats Pill+ from 2015 which was $199. This is $149
Yet it has double the battery life, finally an IP rating for durability, dual native ecosystem support, USB-C audio, a lanyard, and it weighs less. It’s better in every single way.
DESIGN
10% lighter than the old one
Includes a lanyard for carrying or hanging
Three very stylish colors - red, black, and champagne gold
Metal grill
Silicone overmolding on the back for a nice grip
No flap necessary for the USB port. Hopefully nothing gets in there
I think it’s hard to argue with this design. It is simple yet vibrant and distinct. I think it’s going to be very popular
Easily switch to stereo mode with two pills
MICROPHONE TEST
This mic is great for voice assistant use while cooking hands free or for phone calls
Noise learning algorithm should suppress noise and focus on voice - let’s test it
Use Beats Pill to charge other devices
BUTTONS - double press power for voice assistant
1/2/3x play button for playback controls
Volume
Press and hold power to pair
Press and hold middle buttons to pair on dual mono mode - what they call Amplify mode
Middle one one & + on other = stereo mode
APP
VOLUME TEST & COMPARISON
Dual native - iOS and Android:
Both have fast pairing and findmy/findmydevice
Multipoint pairing!
Audio handoff with Apple devices
Automatic updates with iOS - not sure about Android but this also isn’t something I expect to see any significant updates for
24 hour battery life
10 min charge = 2 hours of listening
IP67 water and dust resistant
Bluetooth 5.3 for a more stable connection with better range
SOUND
New woofer for deeper bass than before
single racetrack with neodymium woofer
Capable of 90% more displacement than the old Pill+
Capable of USB-C lossless audio (while simultaneously charging the Pill)
It also includes a USB-C cable in the box
This is a party speaker, not a hifi home studio speaker. Don't expect superior instrument separation
Warm and bassy up to 80% volume
Fun for pickup bball, a boat day, a backyard party, or basically anything else
Best at about 30 - 70% volume
Gets a bit harsh over that and the lows can't keep up
Pretty ok soundstage with two, but without spatial audio, you don't get that with just one speaker
VOLUME TEST
PROS -
Lightweight and compact design, yet loud enough
Wired audio
Multipoint
Great aesthetics and three nice colors
IP67 rating
Includes a microphone
Good price
CONS -
No 3.5mm port
No premium CODECs

I wonder if this sells well for them and their collaboration versions do well, that they’ll try to have a “Pill Pro” that gives more features like an individual speaker being stereo, longer battery life, and maybe built in airplay and chromecast
@richy7757 2 ай бұрын
i hardly doubt they can put airplay in it unless they make it a smart speaker that can connect to the internet since that’s what airplay relies on but if they do, there would definitely be a price jump for the tech.

@@needleontherecord 12 hours of continuous sound is good battery for me. And bluetooth 4.2 is sufficient. I'm never that far from the speaker. And a speaker's priority is the sound and the Bose Soundlink Flex has the best sound for the size. I would say it's still better than any competitor in it's category.

Both sounded pretty similar in all the comparison videos I’ve seen. I have the Bose, and it seems to have a lot of higher range “kick bass,” but not extend quite as deep as some other speakers. From the sound, these are a bit more neutral and high quality sounding, and might go deeper. Bose also tends to take away a ton of bass at higher volume levels, but I think most if not all small BT speakers do this to a certain extent. (Technically, the firmware just boosts the bass at lower volumes.)

I use the new tribit x sound plus 2, and I think it easily beats the beats. It is cheaper at 70 dollars, with superb sound quality of 30watts. Plus it gives cover protection for the usb c and the 3.5mm aux port, Unlike the beats here has an open usb c port.. I also have the jbl charge 3 and that is also great but I prefer the tribit with new features at a lower cost and greater louder cleaner sound.
