Apple Officially Releases New Beats Pill Speaker [Video]

Apple has officially released a new Beats Pill speaker after weeks of teasing the device.

The upgraded Beats Pill is more advanced than ever. It's more powerful. It's lighter. It's more portable. And it's designed to sound incredible — inside your home and out and about. Enjoy room-filling sound, bigger bass and better tonality across the audio spectrum.

The upgraded Beats Pill speaker is said to deliver powerful, room-filling sound with bigger bass and improved tonality due to its re-engineered racetrack woofer and redesigned tweeter. It features a 20-degree upward tilt for optimal sound direction, up to 24 hours of battery life, IP67 dust and water resistance, and dual compatibility with iOS and Android for seamless Bluetooth pairing and device syncing.

Key Features

● A lot more oomph. The Beats Pill has a bigger, bespoke racetrack woofer that displaces 90% more air volume, packing more of a punch with deeper, fuller bass.¹

● Loud and clear. The woofer's material and structure — including its innovative ridges and contours — helps minimize low-end distortion, even at high volumes.

● Powered by stronger magnets. The upgraded neodymium magnets drive the increased air volume displacement, providing 28% greater motor force for bigger, accurate sound.

● The updated tweeter is another high note. Secured in its own housing for extra stability to help reduce distortion, the redesigned tweeter delivers crisp highs and rich mid-range tones.

● IP67 dust and water resistance. At the pool, at the beach, in the rain — the Beats Pill is protected by enhanced internal seals to help keep dirt, sand and water out.

● Tilted to project sound upward. The streamlined Beats Pill has a 20-degree upward tilt to help optimize sound delivery toward your head, away from objects that might obstruct them. The intuitive controls are slightly tucked way on the back, still easy to reach.

● Designed to stay with you. The Beats Pill comes with a removable lanyard and has a soft-grip silicone backing, all to make it easy to take with you.

● Up to 24 hours of battery life. The Beats Pill has up to 24 hours of continuous playback. You can even use it to charge your phone on the go via the included USB-C cable.

● Apple or Android? You're good. Whether you're on iOS or Android, the Pill's new proprietary chip ensures you get instant one-touch pairing, automatic pairing across your other devices, plus Find My or Find My Device.

● Your Pill is a speakerphone too. Take calls and activate your voice assistant right from your paired Beats Pill, all with extended range and fewer dropouts thanks to industry-leading Class 1 Bluetooth® connectivity.

● Extra Play Modes. Time to party? Amplify Mode syncs two Beats Pill speakers for double the audio experience. Want a surround sound feel? Stereo Mode splits audio between two Beats Pill speakers for dedicated left/right output.
