Incredible sound quality, easily pairs with Bluetooth devices, charges VERY quickly and lasts SO LONG. It's wonderful. It also has an AUX cable input which is extremely important to me. (Plugging in your device via an AUX cable always sounds better that using Bluetooth.) Turning it on and off makes a really cool vinyl record sound. Turning it on makes a "Vinyl record starting to play" sound and turning it off makes a "Vinyl abruptly stopping" sound, like the needle has been removed as quickly as possible making a scratch sound. Both sound really cool, that was a really cool surprise, I did not expect it to make those sounds upon turing it on and off. The speaker has some weight to it, which is nice, it feels very well made and IS very well made. It's by far the best portable speaker I've ever owned, I've compared it to the similarly priced BOSE portable speakers, and they sound like garbage compared to this. I cannot stress enough how amazing the sound quality is, and it can get EXTREMELY loud without any distortion. The main thing this speaker is made for is music, but I've watched many films on Blu-Ray and streaming services. All the film audio sounded amazing, so much so that I started using this speaker for everything I watch on the TV in my room. I run the audio that would normally come out of my TV's speakers through this speaker instead. An extremely noticable improvement in the sound of films and television. Only thing I would recommend to anyone who gets one of these Beats Pills is to get a protective carrying case. I found a great protective hardcase that's custom fit for this exact version of the Beats Pill+ for around $10 here on Amazon and everything fits like a glove. Like I said the speaker does have some weight to it so if you're going to be bringing it around with you everywhere, definitely get a case for it. Dropping this speaker could potentially destroy it. Luckily I've never dropped mine so I don't know for sure but the case is a must unless you're just going to leave it in your house. This is an absolutely wonderful speaker in every way, the sound quality is truly amazing. I would highly recommend this to anyone who cares about the quality of sound, of both music and film/television. (Everyone should care about sound quality, but plenty of people don't and just watch and listen to movies/television through their phone's speaker, and actually listen to music the same way, which is just so absurd to me.)

Solid Speaker
Ok, so before I bought this speaker I read some of the reviews here and saw mostly positive feedback. I know this isn’t the absolute best speaker that money can buy but I guess part of me being in my mid 20s rememberers that time when Beats was really cool and holds on to that a little bit. Apple acquired the company and that is definitely evident in this product. The packaging feels very premium as does the speaker. It’s heavy and feels really good in the hands with a metal speaker grille and a grippy rubber like material wrapping around. It feels like you get what you pay for. Now for the important part. The sound. Again this isn’t going to blow away anyone who is a “Former DJ” or an “Audiophile” and it shouldn’t be expected to. This speaker is designed to be used on the deck/patio/garage, etc., it has plenty of volume and as long as you don’t crank the volume up too high, it has pretty good bass for its size. So maybe for some people the “B” logo and a relatively decent sounding speaker isn’t worth 130 bucks and I get that but for me it has the right combo of good looks, good build quality and just enough bass when it comes to my music that made this a good buy for me.
