Beats Pill
Score: 90/100Rankings
The Klipsch Nashville is a rugged, IP67-rated Bluetooth speaker with 24 h battery life, 360° sound and an in-app EQ, but it is limited to mono output and only SBC codec support.
The renewed Beats Pill in Champagne Gold offers a full-day battery, IP67 protection and versatile USB-C functionality, with a design focused on durability and ecosystem integration. Its fixed sound profile and lack of advanced Bluetooth codecs keep it from being a high-end audiophile speaker.
