The Beats Pill XL is well-designed with an integrated carrying handle, a robust feature set, including speakerphone capabilities and a USB-out charging port, and strong sound for a portable Bluetooth speaker. Also, battery life is decent at 15 hours
Speaker requires its own AC adapter (not Micro-USB) for charging, no carrying case included
The combination of the Pill XL's strong sound, excellent design and feature set make it a reasonable value despite its elevated price tag....

Seemingly replacing the Beatbox Portable, and more in line with Beats Pill 2.0, Beats Electronics is rolling out its Beats Pill XL Bluetooth Speaker ($300). It shares the smaller unit's namesake shape, but this one is significantly larger at 13.3" long an...

Once again – the pill capsule design is back and looks even better larger. NFC support. 15 hour battery life. Convenient carrying handle. You can charge your devices from the Beats Pill XL. Sound fills a room well. Great sonics with strong mids and highs.
Takes several hours to warm up the speaker drivers. Only one color available so far

Sturdy build, Good battery life, Easy to use, Big, but still portable, Generous bass, Big sound
Sound sometimes too strong in the low mids, Custom charger (not USB)
We're not used to such high-performance products from Beats. It's true that Dr. Dre's brand has, in the past, opened up the high-end of the 'fashion' headphones market, but this is the first time it has brought out such a quality product that was in touch...
