According to the press release -

At Beats, sound is king. From the placement of the drivers to the materials of the grill, the Beats Pill is specifically designed to optimize sound quality and maximize volume. The Beats Pill is the first product to be fully integrated with the company's patented Beats Audio algorithm and also features exclusive speaker modules to provide the highest quality portable listening experience.

The Beats Pill is also the first wireless speaker to hit store shelves with tap-to-pair NFC and apt-X technology for easy and instant Bluetooth audio. More features include:


  • All call functions - including speakerphone when paired with your smartphone

  • Four speaker system with Beats unique sound profile

  • Rechargeable lithium ion battery provides 7 hours of continuous play

  • AC Power adapter with USB receptacle for charging

  • Auto shut-off after 30 minutes of no signal detection in order to conserve battery life

  • 3.5mm line out for connection to an external speaker system

  • Built-in mic for hands free conferencing

  • Echo cancellation for call clarity and feedback control

  • 8 Bluetooth profiles
  • The Beats Pill will be available in the Beats by Dr. Dre signature colors black, white and red with additional color options coming soon.

We are hearing that it sounds better than the Jambox and the extra features do make it an attractive option even if a bit pricier than the Jambox which is now available for $179. We believe it could make for a very nice portable house party sound system solution. The Beats Pill portable wireless speaker should ship at the end of October.
