Kim Kardashian's second Beats collab of 2024 has been revealed and, once again, it's adding a style lift to an already great product.
This time around, Kim's adding her signature to the versatile Beats Pill portable speaker. In June of 2024, Beats revealed the redesign for their popular Pill speakers. At launch, three colour options were available (Black, Red, and a really classy-looking champagne). As of Friday October 18th, those colours will be joined by the signature shades as part of the Kardashian collaboration – Dark Gray and Light Gray.
This will be Kim's third collaboration overall with beats. The first of which was with the Beats Fit Pro, a set of wireless earbuds that are particularly comfortable and secure when wearing during workouts.
In August, the Kim X Beats Studio Pro headphones were released, adding three colours with matching travel case and braided charging and audio cables to the high-end over-hear headphones.
Now, this latest collab adds additional colour options to the Beats Pill speaker. Just like with the headphones, the charging cable is colour-matched to the shade of speaker you choose.
Aside from that, the Beats Pill Speaker remains unchanged. This is a good thing because the redesigned speakers are fantastic:
- Up to 24 hours of battery life
- IP67 Dust and Water Resistance
- Easy pairing with both Apple and Android devices
- Find My/Find My Device support
- Removable lanyard for carrying/hanging
I've been using the Beats Pill since it was released in June as my go-to for playing tunes when having friends over. I really like the silicon bottom – it adds some nice grip when I'm balancing it on the ledge of a deck rail. Battery life is excellent, and audio quality is phenomenal.
The button system on the top of the Beats Pill is minimal, which makes it look sleek, having fewer buttons. But there are a lot of basic and advanced functions the speaker can do based on the button combinations you use – and honestly, they're a bit hard to remember.
A double press or triple press on the middle button to skip or go back a track is manageable. But there's legit five different things that the same button does if a call is coming through, and I never remember the combo to decline a call in the moment.
That's a pretty small complaint, especially when the audio quality is so good in such a small form factor.
And a quick shout-out on the water and dust resistance. Earlier this summer, I left the speaker for three days in a barn with a dirt floor. There were many people walking through this barn and kicking up dust, overnight there was dew on the speaker, and even after this negligence on my part, the speaker's audio quality and functions were not compromised at all (though I did need to give the grill a little TLC to blow away all the dust and return the champagne finish to its glory.
Back to the Beats Kim Pill - it's tough to say how popular this will be. The Beats Fits Pro collab with Kim resulted in a very quick sellout, but the Beats Studio Pro Headphones are still available.
