I'm David Conroy from cnet.com and this is the beats pill XL the bigger brother to the standard beats pill Bluetooth speaker we're little tardy and reviewing it but the good news is that it has come down and priced a bit from its list price of 300 and now can be found online for around 270 dollars in a variety of different color options I wasn't a big fan of the original bill which was overpriced for the sound it produces but thankfully this hundred dollar more expensive jumbo pill is a far better sounding speaker well it obviously isn't as compact as its little brother it weighs a manageable three point three pounds and is a built in handle that makes it easy to carry around additional features include NFC tap tap air technology for phones that support it a USB charging port and speakerphone capabilities if you can afford two of these guys you can sync them together and augment the sound or turn one into a left speaker and the other into a right speaker for stereo sound battery life is rated at 15 hours which is good and the speaker will automatically turn off after 10 minutes of no signal detection to conserve power the speaker produces big sound for its size with relatively strong bass and decent clarity and a combination of the pill excels strong sound excellent design and feature set make it a reasonable value and its price point that's the beats pill XL thanks for watching
