I Found the Beats Pill Speaker at a Record-Low Price in Every Color, and It Should Be With You Before Christmas
Even though it’s nearly Christmas, the deals haven’t stopped yet. In fact, there are some deals available right now that have some of the absurd discounts we saw during Prime Day earlier this year. One of those is on the amazing Beats Pill speaker, which is back down to $100, its lowest-ever price, across all five colors. It’ll even arrive before Christmas if you order it soon.
CNET reviewer David Carnoy said it was surprising to see Apple-owned Beats release a Pill speaker in 2024 — the company hadn’t had a new model since 2015 — but it was worth the wait. Some of the upgrades include changes to be fully waterproof and dust-proof, as well as USB-C charging, easy multipoint Bluetooth pairing and Find My capabilities (though Google calls it Find My Device).

There are a lot of attractive options when it comes to Bluetooth speakers, particularly Bose’s SoundLink Flex which isn’t as new but is top-rated and priced similarly. The Pill’s improved sound quality, battery life and durability make it an appealing option, Carnoy writes. Now, with additional savings possible, it might be an even better option for those seeking an upgrade.

Why this deal matters
Any time you see a device go back down to Prime Day or Black Friday prices, it’s a good thing for buyers. It means you can rest assured that the device isn’t likely to go any lower until those same events next year, and those are a long way off.
Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?
If you’re ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it’s going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it’s important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.
Guaranteed shipping deadlines at some of these delivery companies passed on Dec. 16, with others offering expedited services that may allow you to order as late as Dec. 23 or even Dec. 24. Where delivery is no longer possible, be sure to assess your in-store pickup options or check out these great digital deals for the holidays.
The Beats Pill speaker will arrive before Christmas, according to the shipping info on Amazon’s product page.
