Apple's Discontinued Beats Pill+ Speaker Returning With Limited-Edition Model

[Shanghaichica]

It looks disgusting. I’ve never been a fan of beats stuff. I had the misfortune of buying the original beats solo headphones way before Apple bought beats. They were atrocious. Muffled and uncomfortable to wear. Then a colleague encouraged me to buy ur beats. They were terrible and I returned them. I only have my beats flex because they were a free gift from my carrier when I was upgrading my Apple Watch. They are ok. But I wouldn’t have bought them myself. I only use them when I’m listening to music in bed and I might fall asleep with them in. Better to fall asleep with those in than my AirPods Pro and loose one or damage them.

Whoa! Didn't know Stüssy was still around.

They were "cool" back in the '80s with the surfer and skater kids along with Billabong, T&C Surf, Maui & Son, Vision Street Wear, etc.

Does the audience for Beats products even know who Stüssy is or care?

I think it’s the other way around, this is primarily for people who already know Stüssy

Apple knows the future

Is the sound system any good? Does anyone recall how well the bluetooth connection is on these things? A family member of mine will love the style. Almost to the point where this is an "automatic buy". I've literally put the release into my calendar already.

I can't hear you from up on your high horse, why don't you come back down to the rest of us civilians who have always dealt with war and death.

Watch out, we got a badass over here.

Don’t think it is a wise decision to buy a discontinued model even if it is limited edition design.

It's a portable bluetooth speaker with a line in, it'll continue to work with wireless and wired sources regardless of it being discontinued. I picked up a couple of brand new (non special edition) ones last week and it's terrific for what it is.

For the size it punches above it's weight, in stereo pair mode it's even better. Line in is cool when I don't want to use headphones on my SP404 MKII, Deluge, OP1, and OPZ.

If I need to, I can also use it as an extended battery for my devices.

Is it bass heavy and muddy like other pre Apple beats devices?

Nope, and they smoke my UE Boom, talk about muddy...
