Review: Column BEATS PILL XL

I'm ashamed to admit, but until recently I could not part with the good old boombox, which played discs and music from a flash drive, but it still broke. The question arose about a new player that would be both loud enough and portable at the same time. So that I can listen to him both at home and away.

All these requirements were fully satisfied by the BEATS PILL XL speaker, which works in tandem with a phone via Bluetooth. I like both the sound quality and the stylish appearance, and the fact that the device stores up to eight media, works without additional recharging for up to 15 hours (and this is at full volume) and has a convenient carrying handle. I have a version in black, but I really liked other colors, especially gray and white. The declared power is 20 W, there is also NFC support, you can recharge other gadgets from the speaker through a cord. In general, I am very pleased with the purchase, I recommend it both as a portable device for music and as a main home acoustic center.

What is a BEATS PILL XL column

Externally, the device looks very stylish. It looks like a giant capsule or a car roller pillow. There is a shallow grill on top, and a comfortable handle behind. Everything is sold in a package, inside which, in addition to the speaker itself, there is also a power cord - 2 pieces, and a power supply. The BEATS PILL XL can last an astonishing 15 hours without additional recharging. In my memory, the previous wireless speakers could not boast of such exposure. It takes only 3 hours to charge the column from the mains. By the way, you can listen to it in stationary mode while the battery is being recharged. Playlists and full control are carried out directly from the phone - you can at a decent distance, in the bluetooth radio. The sound is quite loud, I don't even use the full power, half is enough, even if you do not listen in a chamber room, but, for example, take the speaker with you to the beach. If we talk about purity, then for electronic basses - just right, the ear does not hurt, but delights. It is also convenient that the speaker can recharge other devices, this function is especially valuable at outdoor events.

I love to take my music with me wherever I go, so portability is very important to me. In terms of its external dimensions, the Beats Pill X El speaker surpasses its predecessors, but due to this it sounds stronger and louder. However, in terms of weight, everything is extremely compact, and it is convenient to hold it in your hand - the handle on the back greatly facilitates this process. The corporate logo - the letter B - on the facade of the acoustic masterpiece glows beautifully when music sounds. By the way, I managed to unwittingly check the column for damage resistance. She fell corny with me from a rather high window sill. I thought that I would have to, at least, carry it to the workshop, but no6 nothing flew off and did not break, it works in the same mode and without malfunctions or errors. So I consider the test passed. I also checked the column for range. We had a picnic with friends in the forest, listened to music, I controlled from my phone, retired to the maximum allowed distance - there were no problems. So for me the most important advantages of this device are obvious:

    Good sound;

    Excellent volume

    Convenient management;

    Compactness and portability;

    Reliability and shock resistance of the case;

    Stylish appearance.

Probably, notorious music lovers can hear some flaws in the sound of the speaker, but I, as an ordinary user, like everything. All overflows and differences are sustained, the basses are preserved. There is no wheezing or crackling, the feeling that he is listening to a ringtone, and not music, too.

Since the manufacturer has been on the market for a long time, and has proven itself very competently, I do not even doubt the durability of my purchase. Rather, it will become obsolete in terms of features, because new items are now released with enviable regularity. This stylish speaker has a lot of analogs, and you can find even cheaper ones, but I recommend buying Pill XL for proven quality, good sound and e compatibility with both the Android system and iPhones. By the way, the form in the form of a capsule not only looks original, but is also very thoughtful for sounding. The speaker does not overlap even if, say, throw the speaker on a soft blanket, or leave it in the back seat of a car. The shallow grill protects the device from any damage and trouble. The oblong handle fits comfortably in the hand, so carrying the Biast Pill with you is both simple and comfortable.

However, if we consider the column from the point of view of the price category, then this is far from the most expensive option. I would call it the golden mean in terms of value for money. It is not a problem to find cases and original accessories for decorating a capsule, they are presented in wide abundance, so this is already a matter of taste. I didn’t put anything on my “music pill”, I really like it anyway. On the shelf with books it inspires respect, but in the open space it does not make you listen, perfectly and loudly reproducing everything that the playlist dictates to her. I prefer something more fun, although sometimes I'm not averse to being sad under touching compositions.

I know that many people take wireless speakers as an appendix to the main music center in order to use it exclusively as a portable device. For me, the Beats Pill XL Black speakers are the main and only speaker system. I see no reason to buy something from above, since the capsule copes with all its duties. Great music adorns all of my:

    Parties;

    Nature trips;

    Picnics and beach gatherings;

    Just quiet home evenings.

I just adjust the volume to the optimum and enjoy it. There has never been such a thing that I lacked audibility, although, quite possibly, I just have not such global requests. I think that for a small apartment. Especially if it is removable and the owner often moves, the speaker is simply an irreplaceable gadget. It is easy to take it with you, it is convenient to carry it from room to room, it plays regularly and loudly, it does not conflict with the phone. The only thing is, I advise you to select the software for the connection in advance. Beast Pill is "friends" with both Android and iPhone. They say that with Apple's sixth creation, the contact is just perfect.
