(That’s the Pill sitting on an iPad mini for the size reference)
Lets all admit something today OK? Lets admit that we are all literally attached to our mobile devices 24/7. I mean, let’s face it, we’d probably rather cut off an arm than give up our smartphones, iPads, notebooks and laptops. They have become our lifeline to friends 3,000 miles away, they are what keeps businesses moving forward and how we receive most of our music and entertainment. And all of this connective communication is literally carried around in a handbag. Amazing. So, it’s no wonder that we might need a speaker that has the ability to amplify the sound of our music and movies from these small devices or the voices of loved ones that live far away.
We certainly don’t want a gigantic speaker that wouldn’t fit in that handbag or an ugly cord {gasp}, because a cord means you need to plug it in, which means then you are stuck by a wall.
So say hello to the “Pill” by Beats by Dre. Yes, a pill, like the one you swallow.
The Beats by Dre Pill is a wireless bluetooth speaker that you can take along with you anywhere. I have witnessed this little Pill first hand while traveling this summer. We knew we would not have television or internet for a week or so and so we downloaded a bunch of old school movies for our kids to watch from our laptops. You know the classic’s, like E.T, Goonies and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. While watching movies from your laptop solo is great with a headset, it’s not ideal for the entire family, we could barely hear the sound especially when people were chomping on popcorn and chips, so we turned on the Beats by Dre pill and it instantly pumped up the volume! We have even used it on the beach and at the pool, it can get so loud, I was kind of amazed.
