Beats Pill+ vs RIVA S - soundcheck

2016-02-20
hi recently I met an old friend of mine and he was very proud to show me his latest acquisition this is the new beats pill plus he played some tunes and tried convincing me how great it sounded he said well here the bass hear how loud it can play but I was not quite sure so I asked him if I could have it over the weekend and here it is I think it's a much better looking speaker than the old pill and it also feels much better you have something really solid here you see and notice that Apple had its hands on it also charging is done through a lightning cable not microUSB anymore and also sound wise I think it's a big step above the old pill but I also think that it's a big step below comparable speakers I mean this costs 249 I even saw it for 259 euros in some shops and well I don't quite think it's really worth this I think the sound is a little bit bully and muffled at the same time it's Bomi with our definition and it can play loud yeah but what you get the result is simply yeah it's comical so I thought I will measure it and if we have a look at the frequency response measurement it looks quite a bit wavy I mean there is a huge bass boost at 200 Hertz the bass would even reach quite deep but is simply covered by the upper bass boost meets our scooped out and there is again a lower treble boost but treble doesn't really extend that high the problem is that at the lower levels the beats pill Plus done adjust its sound so you see it always measures the same this tends to give you a teeny and also wield sound at low levels so I don't I'm not quite sure about the sound I thought we should have a listen how it sounds compared for example against the river s which costs exactly the same I mean the price for the pill plus dropped already I don't know why but usually Apple products are quite stable let's turn it on yeah the tones remain the same as on the small peel and peel XL but this thing is and as always I'm of course using binaural microphones so you should listen with headphones to get the most realistic impression I will start playing with the pill plus then switch over to the reverse and we'll play some different genres let's start let's listen to something else it sounds strange it reminds me a bit of a toilet this is the sound you get when you play a speaking a toilet with quite a booming sound the treble is missing and so on so I'm not really convinced let's try another track it doesn't quite help to tilt in your sample it's simply yeah it covered hey you first meet songs off that's right on track yeah I think dr. Dre's some repechage blessing shook song crazy hip-hop and rap then cool your connections in return why we live and we learn you think you know what is this totally build a bigger future for the kid please in war let's take it to the floor every time we take two steps the crouching fool lady I will come to the street is how I cut of beef I'll let me handle that is why you made me Jesus back walking is here stop six minutes pill or s let me train the ferret undressing room France that we came out to light it up and put it in the air all my ladies for tickets enjoy cuz I submit it and you gotta get with it and you'll never forget it yes I bought the best downtown hall to the fans in the home yeah not that convincing either my friend was so impressed that it can play dead loud so let's put it well let's put both a bit Father power away sorry and let's crank them to maximum and have a listen how they compare at maximum volume okay I will start turning them up to maximum yeah he loves is that he said longer Oracle I can already hear that this is not right yeah I mean the the reverse is definitely doable but it sounds like the original song yeah that's right another again yeah it sounds as if it was round force I might have noticed some chopper chopped into slices I have the clips groove here this is quite a bit louder than then realize so I thought maybe we should compare these to the clips costs 150 so it's hundred dollars or even well no depends how much it costs no let's turn that lips to maximum as well and let's have a listen again I have another dance track let's have a listen to this whoa it's been you expect we have the clips roof is not that clean at maximum but it still sounds like the original song while the pill plus made it sound a bit like some some effect some specially picked or something so to tell the truth I don't think it's worth its current price tag there is potential but it screwed up I don't know I mean it's not usable at maximum you have to bring it down some notches and then it won't be louder than the Riva s anymore why the clips groove being much cheaper yeah simply wipes the floor with with the pill plus so really not that great speaker how many make it seem there are many five-star reviews again but I wouldn't say it deserves even three stars I would maybe give it two stars one for the design and the other one for build quality but the sound is simply atrocious so yeah thanks for watching I hope this was helpful to give you a first idea about the pill plus definitely not worth it but it looks great and yeah feels great there are definitely much better speakers so let's wait until the JBL charge 3 comes out and maybe let's have a listen again thanks for watching and bye bye hi I met an old friend recently and he tried a team-high I met an old friend recently and he hi huh Lonnie beat to death hi recently I met an old friend of mine and he was very proud a proud he ok - ok he played some tunes and tried convincing me how great is sing this - just like I was not quite convinced over the truth to tell the true love to me compared to some other comparables because I think it's a step below now si you will see I mean you feel that it belongs to Apple now also the charging port is lightning are not microUSB anymore and regarding sound it's definitely much better than the old peel what so
