Beats by Dr. Dre are a brand of product that campuses everywhere are filled with. Beats aren’t just about headwear though, and while I’ve never been interested in the headsets, a product of theirs called the Pill has grabbed my attention for all the right reasons.

Now, I know that Beats can get a bad rap for their high prices. But after my experience with what the Pill offers, I can say that the price is mostly justified. Yes, you’ll pay $200 for this little thing, but it’s worth it in most ways.

The Pill is a portable (and premium) small Bluetooth speaker with more options than most of its competitors. On the back of the Pill, you’ll find an “Out” jack, an “In” jack, a NFC (near-field communication for easy syncing) chip, a Bluetooth indicator, and the Micro-USB charging port.

I have not been impressed by speakers this small in a long time. They produce a sound that can easily fill a medium-sized room at high volume. And they get LOUD.

I imagine that this would be tons of fun to have in the newsroom at work, or anywhere I go for that matter. Yea, I’ve got my headphones, but sometimes you just want to fill the room with music, and these do that exact task very well.

The Beats Pill gets a rare 5/5.
