I Used to watch you a lot back in the day! I was like maybe 13/14. I’m 25 now. Glad to see you’re still pushing out content! Great Review!!!

[@Glocky99942]

Dude exact same

[@TheMaan2008]

Omg, same! I remember watching his PSVITA unboxing!

[@miguelcarbajalavila4579]

I remember watching you original Beats Pill review and wanting it so bad when I was in middle school now I’m an adult with the money to buy it! Thanks for always being there SKB!

[@JWZRD23]

That thing was awesome! A year ago I saw an OG pill at a goodwill for 35 bucks and I had to pick it up for the nostalgia. It’s def not the best speaker in our house but we like to just sit it somewhere it’s a great piece of nostalgia.

[@bthediff]

Honey, wake up - Mark just dropped another banger! The OG tech reviewer cookin’ since 2008! 🔥

[@SoldierKnowsBest]

Appreciate that!

[@user-ou3eg6ft5o]

​@@SoldierKnowsBest Between this an jbl extreme 3 which do you think is better i still think jbl is the boss what's your opinion?

[@E_Stew]

I HOPE they come out with the Beats Pill XL as well. 🤗 I had the original one back in tha day and that thing put out some MAJOR sound...Too bad I had to turn it in due to a fire hazard recall. 🥴

[@B.maloney]

Still have both of mine! Never sending mine back 😂 but to be real I don’t see them making another “big speaker” these pills are a hit, now they do a 2.0 of the beatbox portable gonna be 👌

[@JamesFuckface]

​@@B.maloney I was a fool for turning mine in

[@NeoSpacian1237]

I grew up on KZbin watching you, yikes flies glad I found you again

[@Rome.Monroe]

I hope they make a new Beats Pill+

[@Mebarki]

I hope they make a new Pill- 😂 kinda something like the JBL GO

[@sprinkleddonuts6094]

There is a beats pill+ or do you mean a newer version? I hope they make one to compete with Charge 5 and Xtreme

[@LeesReviews69]

I have the red one and champagne. They are amazing, better than my 2 Bose flex’s.

[@HUNNUH98]

Why would they have an app for android and not for iOS when beats is LITERALLY owned by apple?🤔

[@rishisubbiah9365]

There’s probably no need due to the Apple chip in the beats pill

[@prism5k]

to make android feel special

[@TheMaan2008]

Right?? Lmaoo! Ironic

[@lightpen1005]

Hey where you been man? I used to watch you back in the day!

[@AlienFrequency]

SKB loves him some Linking Park. Great video as always, man. How the hell do you not have over 1 million subs?

[@thebl8nlyblatantnetwork]

I got it two days at first I didn’t like it but after day 2 and under standing it’s functions I like it now when I plugged it up usb c to my Mac and iPad I was hoping I would keep the quality to use as a speaker for my computer

[@iron_recluse]

Same i was so excited to test it i tried it in the car and was disappointed. Took it home and tried it in different rooms and i really like it esp for the size. Only thing that sucks is its mono output.

[@thebl8nlyblatantnetwork]

@@iron_recluse super facts 🫡

[@SuperMissDaisey]

Received the gold pill today, like the sound,so far, Love the battery time. So far it’s

[@needleontherecord]

Great review thanks! Can it multipoint with two or more devices?

[@TylerStartz]

Interesting! All the red ones appear to have the same gap on the front left between the metal grill and the silicone. Didn't know if it was just mine or not.

[@smartphoneconversations]

Good video as always sir.

[@SoldierKnowsBest]

I appreciate that

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

That's cool that you can listen to sound from two beats at the same time.

[@artemhiz]

Great review. Speaking about turning the Pill off, is there any auto sleep mode after 10 minutes or something? Knowing Apple, if they make turning off harder, means they add some sort of sleep mode to the device. Is there one in Pill?

[@sprinkleddonuts6094]

I can’t wait to get mine, probably monday or tuesday next week. Got the black one, and i will get the Champagne next payday. Edit: SKB how durable is the steel mesh on the front???

[@matthewburno]

not having in app controls on iOS is weird! also the button combos and not having a mode voice make it feel like a random dollar store brand bluetooth speaker instead of something made with attention and care! really the only good thing about these is it has good speakerphone ability's

[@Mista300c]

Hope they make the pills characters

[@MIDIWalker]

Thanks for this detailed review!

[@blackgobrook8714]

thanks for the in depth review 🙏

[@Campwise05]

Nice video SKB!

[@penz87]

Great review.

[@mikethebest6]

Yeah haha 😂 at first o was like how do you turn this thing on 😅 but once you learn how to there no issue at all, this beats pill replaced my expensive B&O A1 2nd Gen, really love it!!!

[@n1knak]

What’s the sound quality like

[@sphearit77]

R they compatible with ps5. Like can they connect to ps5 threw Bluetooth or threw 3.5 mm jack to controller.

[@008wes8]

My 2019 Sony xb32 has all this features and even more

[@gunsammomoreguns001]

Great Video ‼️

[@pudongski]

Beats pill vs Bose flex?

[@Bravesplayyyyye]

People are saying pill for features and Bose flex for better sound quality

[@lewis02mc]

Tested both today, the Pills bass plays noticeably deeper, mids are a bit warmer sounding on the Bose and the Pill has slightly better defined highs thanks to the added tweeter. Pill sounds good up until about 80/85% volume then its limiter starts to kick in to avoid distortion which makes it sound a bit shrill/ uncontrolled at max volume. Neither are particularly great for max volume listening (most small speakers like these aren’t) but if that doesn’t concern you I’d go with the Pill over the Bose. The Pill is also rated for double the battery life of the Bose which means longer times between charges and it has a power bank feature which the Bose does not.

[@91brooklynborn]

Bose Flex all day long. I bought the Pill to compare it. I would have kept it. After 3 days of listening I realized nothing about it sounds natural. The Bose Flex shuts it out.

[@91brooklynborn]

@@BravesplayyyyyeFlex All Day Long!!!

[@Bravesplayyyyye]

@@91brooklynborn haha I just bought the pill and I love it. I’m gonna buy the Bose for my sis

[@robbieasghari8361]

The JBL flip 6 doesn’t have a covering for the usb-c port either and I am not sure why

[@delreytamayo6283]

Will they bring back the Pill XL ?

[@LegalFiction.]

I still have the beats pill XL, shit still bangs

[@Clt.princee]

I’m stuck between the gold and black 😭

[@thischildishlifestyle]

A little disappointed with the bass that it puts out. In the house in a really quit area it's fine. But outside bas is non existent, almost like just having a portable tweeter.

[@Neytiri19921]

This is something that’s really good if you have Apple ecosystem. Granted it works with android but you get more with iOS

[@Colten-vs7yt]

Turn it off it’s kind of goofy, but I’ve never had a problem with it surprisingly

[@Theladynisha]

Kind of upset you didn’t play the song of the speaker tho

[@KyleWarley-h2o]

Is this better sound quality than the beats pill XL can anybody confirm as I own the xl still and still in amazing condition so want to know if to upgrade I know the battery on these new ones hold more thats kinda making me want to go ahead and pick one up but I just want to know the difference in sound qauilty

[@atvrepairsandmore2482]

Jbl has been the king of the portable speakers and I don’t see this beats taking that from them.

[@thetreverpitts]

The jbl flip speakers are good

[@heelbeavans01]

these now charge your phone and losless audio through usb-c now

[@Bigmann22]

can you locate the speaker even when it is off

[@geggyusa]

No. It only updates the location when you are connected to it, but once you disconnect (or it is off) you'll only see the location where it was last connected. If someone moves it you won't know where it is.

[@Bigmann22]

@@geggyusa Pfff I once lost my Beats solo pro like that. I find that useless tho

[@geggyusa]

@@Bigmann22yea its pretty pointless. You’re better off getting an AirTag and attaching it to the lanyard

[@AnthonyTirado-u5f]

I been using mine all day Monday -and Tuesday full charge it doesn’t last 24 hours like they says it’s last 7 -7/30 hours of play time music with me using about 80 percent volume

[@lewis02mc]

On the Beats website it says *up to 24 hours of battery life. As with all portable speakers this depends on volume level and the type of music played. Bass heavy music will sap power from the battery quicker than classical music for instance. Beats website also states the 24h figure was tested while playing the speaker at 50% volume.

[@Gbob007]

these are better with Android.

[@shoerice5083]

Agressive marketing on a stolen jbl design

[@heisenberg4763]

Never a day goes by where the ill informed pass on stupid statements. This resembles more with its first gen than jbl. But its not about the design its about sound preferences. I guess that wont even matter because if its remotely Apple the haters will jump

[@shoerice5083]

@@heisenberg4763 welp, another useless comment from a obvious beats fangirl. This "statement" shows exactly what this speaker is. Beats never was first or good at anything, it's just a name, covered by dr dre and others that get tons of money to promote it. Now they're back after embarrassing product releases, like the old pills, this time taking an "inspiration" from jbl's race track and tweeter driver setups.

[@SmooveTchalla]

That’s exactly wat I need
