@@ijuscant charge 5 no comparison… Charge 5’s Bass is crazy for the size of it. Flip 6 also has Great Bass for the size of it. Flip 6 is more portable than charge 5. That being said i went ahead and purchased a beats pill.
If you connect it to a computer (say MacBook) via USB-C, will it also transmit USB audio (lossless ideally) and let you control things like volume via the keyboard controls?
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 and No aux 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.
How is the sound vs the Soundcore Motion X600? Just wondering if it's worth the buy or skip, it is an Apple product and works seamless with Apple but just curious if it sounds better than my current speaker.
@@toxinoz1410 I actually bought the new Beats Pill. Without EQ settings on the x600, the Beats Pill actually is better. The only thing that saves the X600 is the custom EQ settings. The Beats is also louder again without the Soundcore custom EQ Settings coming into play. The Beats also integrates into macOS with it's own option the in System Settings and it's own little b icon in the menu bar. After a few hours of going back and forth, my X600 got put away in favor of the Beats Pill.
After listening to mine for a few days, I realized that there is just no high, mid, or low separation. Ive done demos for multiple people compared to the Bose Soundlink Flex and everyone says the Flex blows it away. The clarity is just not there and its soundstage is not wide at all on the Pill. I bought it to compare to the Bose....Im returning it. The music quality to me just doesnt sound natural. The bass on the Soundlink Flex is MUCH better too.
I’d like to buy one or two but I already have Sonos & Bose. I want to go to an Apple Store to hear it first before I buy. Thanks. Oh I also have a pair of Apple Home Pod Minis I stream music too.
@@deykno87 Because Bluetooth is shit. You don't need to have a screen to enjoy the advantages of AirPlay. Since AirPlay uses Wi-Fi, it can transmit higher bit rates and uncompressed audio data, resulting in better sound quality. It also has less delay in audio transmission compared to Bluetooth. As AirPlay is based on Wi-Fi, it can use the entire range of a Wi-Fi network, which often provides greater coverage than Bluetooth. With AirPlay 2, multiple speakers can be synchronized to play music in different rooms at the same time. Integration into the Apple ecosystem enables simple control via Apple devices and Siri.
@@deykno87agreed.. AirPlay doesn’t even offer true Lossless audio so I wouldn’t care given the environment I’d most likely use this. Hopefully whenever an AirPlay 3 protocol is announced it will address that issue.
I held off on buying a party speaker after they teased this. Cause I was also hopping for a XL. I miss mine and I wish I never returned it after they were getting recalled
not sure how ideal buying two would be but the sound is there if not better than an XL version. Obviously you gotta carry two around but it does make for some more versatility
Good video. This item is not for me because the color options are bland. Also, I prefer speakers that provide stereo sound without purchasing two speakers. The price is fair and usb-c is huge
Exactly…they have been pushing these mono speakers lately. Don’t fall for that. Using a Tribit and it has stereo full range speakers with a center woofer.
Please do a video comparing it to the HomePod mini, I know they are for different use cases but would like to know how they compare
AppleInsider did a comparison with the HomePod mini. It was determined that the new Beats Pill have a much better sound profile.
@@Paulygon Thanks. Makes sense as the beats are abit more expensive.
@@Natak222plus doesn’t need to be connected to an outlet
bro homepod mini is so outdated and its sound is soo bad i've owned one and sold it after 3 months or so
@@gintoniSound isn’t bad the sound is tier
I’m dying to hear a sound test between this and the Beats Pill+
It sounds amazingly different. I’m loving this speaker!!!
@@viru200-h2tbro what’s the battery life like ?
older beats not as good
@@abc123fhdi if you put the old speaker right up to your ear it sounds so good
Beats Pill 2024 vs JBL Flip 6
Or beats pill vs jbl charge 5
@@ijuscantYeah, this comparison makes more sense. It’s in the same price range.
@@ijuscant charge 5 no comparison… Charge 5’s Bass is crazy for the size of it.

Yes. This is possible.
Yes it’s possible. Even iPhone should transmit lossless audio since it already works with Apple usb-c earphones
How does it compare to the jbl similar in size for the sound?
flossy Carter did a comparison between them.

Yes and do the old one vs new one

Please do a comparison between the new pill and the Sonos roam 2. Thanks Dan! You rock!
Good advertisement mate! 😊

I need more treble than bass and am interested to know how all frequencies of this device compares with the Sonos.
I'm torn as to whether this is a review or a sales pitch listing off features and reasons to buy it.

Very tempted Dan
Yes to Sonos Roam 2 comparison.
can you have lossless audio in stereo paired mode since only one is plugged into USBC or do both need to be plugged into USBC on the same device?
Is it water proof or resistant?
Yes it has an IP67 rating
how's the weight comparison to the older one ?
Dan, thanks for your video. Do you know when it's avail in Europe? -- thanks.
Did they ever say when they were gonna release the pill people?
I saw the add that beats posted but I don’t think they had a release date for them
Do they pair with the beats app still or is that now obsolete?
I’d like to buy one or two but I already have Sonos & Bose. I want to go to an Apple Store to hear it first before I buy. Thanks. Oh I also have a pair of Apple Home Pod Minis I stream music too.
Does is fit in the old stand that makes it a person
Does it power off automatically when using it wired? My Pill+ does that and it's a pain
BIG miss on them not including Airplay…
Will they make characters stands for these?
I would have bought if it had airplay.

WTF 😒 where is the sound testing part .?
Finally
I think I will get one.
i would definitely pick this up on sale but i wish Apple would bring back the Beats Pill XL or the BeatBox back.
I held off on buying a party speaker after they teased this. Cause I was also hopping for a XL. I miss mine and I wish I never returned it after they were getting recalled

Compare it to the old beats pill plus
Someone should compare the sound of this with Bose SoundLink Mini II
Vs Boom 3?
Sonos roam 2 ou pill?
has airplay 2?
nope, bluetooth and usb-c
@@TitusSc oh thats a shame im stick whit the roam because of that
@@gonzalo.herrera if you are not on a wifi network the roam is just bluetooth though right?
what a stupid move by not putting airplay 2 WTF apple?
It does not have air play? 💀💀💀💀☹️
Hope the beats pill + will get AirPlay 😐
I think it's because that uses WiFi.
You probably haven’t noticed that Apple doesn’t add all the features that typical Apple devices have
Good video. This item is not for me because the color options are bland.
Also, I prefer speakers that provide stereo sound without purchasing two speakers.

This against soundcore boom 2
Does it include a Beats troll sticker?
atmos? I saw Kim k with the white one why didn't it release
There is a gold one that’s lighter. Is that the one you’re thinking of?
@@macrumors does it play atmos
@@Dma118why does it matter. it’s a small bluetooth speaker you’re not gonna get the benefits of atmos anyway
I wonder how it compares to the Bose flex very similar
I really hope my next door neighbor doesn’t get one these 😢
A much needed update!
Looks like one of the best in the market... good on Beats.
Comparison video with the Sonos Roam 2 would be great!
Lol, the OG one was stereo. Having this one be mono-only unless paired to a second one is kinda lame.
Exactly…they have been pushing these mono speakers lately. Don’t fall for that. Using a Tribit and it has stereo full range speakers with a center woofer.
Just bought it! 😁
$149.99? I don’t think so. For that price, you can get 2 Tribit SoundPlus2 which are rated at 30 watts each.
Beats is trash!
It's not a "lot of bass" it's way too much bass, it distorts the sound, it's not supposed to sound like that, it's just straight trash.
It's mono & expensive.
How long does it take to fully charge on 🪫
