The new models have longer battery life, a port for charging other USB devices, the ability to pair Pills together with near-field communication (NFC) to play the same audio either individually, or handling left and right stereo channels respectively, character stands, and a new, larger “XL” version. On June 3, 2015, Beats voluntarily recalled all Pill XL models, citing that in rare cases, the battery may overheat and combust. The Pill+ is slightly larger than the previous model, and carries a refreshed design with top-mounted volume controls and a Beats logo button. The Pill+ has a companion mobile app for iOS and Android devices, used for pairing speakers together (in place of NFC), and allowing multiple users to alternate playing music on a single Pill (“DJ mode”).
A commercial for the Beats Pill starred Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams; reprising their music video for “Blurred Lines”, it featured scenes of female dancers using the speakers as a prop. Another campaign featuring anthropomorphic versions of the speakers debuted during the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, which were voiced by musicians such as Chris Rock, Eminem, and Tichina Arnold.
Follow-up ads in the campaign included references to events that occurred during the show,[16][17][18] and one where Siri refuses to invite the characters to attend a party being held by Dr. Dre to celebrate the company’s sale to Apple. “[5] Wired felt that the Pill’s difficulty with bass was ironic, given that the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones had emphasized the low-end as its “sonic signature”.
CNET was similarly mixed, noting unique features such as its “striking design”, NFC support, the ability to serve as a pass-through device for other audio systems, and its “relatively detailed sound (notice the use of the word ‘relatively’) with respectable bass compared with other tiny speakers in its class.” However, connectivity issues were noticed with devices running iOS 6, and its review score was later revised from 3.5 to just 3 out of 5, citing the introduction of competing products offering equivalent or better sound quality and a lower price than the Pill.
“[22] PC Magazine felt that the Pill+ offered a “clean, well-defined, balanced listening experience”, but that since their drivers were not angled upward, “you miss much of the definition the tweeters bring to the table unless they happen to be lined up with your ears.”
