Apple has owned Beats for over a year now, but their influence has never been more apparent than it is in the upcoming Beats Pill+ Bluetooth speaker. It has the same amount of buttons and jacks as the iPhone and the iPad. It has a clean design that makes it look almost as good as it performs. As pretty as it is though, the real beauty is under the hood. The 8 1/4” wide Beats Pill+ uses a stereo active 2-way crossover system, along with tweeter and woofer separation, to create dynamic range and clarity—regardless of what kind of music you’re listening to. You’ll get 12hrs of battery life on a 3hr charge, and you can also use the USB port in the back to charge your phone. With the Beats Pill+ app you can connect multiple Bluetooth devices for tag team DJing, or even sync multiple Pill+ speakers for dedicated left/right stereo.
