$149.95 Save $50.95

The Beats Pill got a much-needed update last year after nearly a decade and addressed all of the shortcomings of its predecessor. The new model is much more impressive and comes at a more affordable $149.95. Even better, it's currently on sale for 34% off.

As of June 9, you can pick up the Beats Pill in champagne gold, matte black, light grey, or dark grey for only $99 instead of $149.95. That's over $50 in savings and a new record-low price for the portable speaker. It's dropped down to $99.95 several times, but this is the first time it's hit $99 since its release last year.

The 2024 Beats Pill features angled drivers, hefty bass, a capable speakerphone, a waterproof design, and a lengthy 24-hour battery life, making it a particularly good pick for poolside hangs. Mashable's sister sites PCMag and CNET both tested the speaker and had mostly positive things to say. PCMag even gave it an Editors' Choice Award, "thanks to its portable, outdoor-ready design, high-quality wired and wireless sound, and seamless compatibility with Apple's product ecosystem."
