The Beats Pill (2015-2022) is about to be resurrected this summer, if celebrity sightings and reports from 9to5 Mac and The Verge are anything to go by.
The petite, portable and stylish Beats Pill+ Bluetooth speaker was the first product released when Apple acquired Beats back in 2014, improving upon the older Beats by Dr Dre Pill model with a refined design, new features and clearer sound. However, lacklustre dynamics and being bettered for detail, rhythmic cohesion and insight by stronger rivals at the time left us wanting, especially for the rather hefty £190/$230 price tag, and it was quietly discontinued in early 2022.
