The market for thebest Bluetooth speakersisnt exactly left short of options.
As with art, their looks will be subjective.
murmur when I unboxed it.
In my opinion, solid equals premium.
But the Pills extra weight 680g vs 430g for the Roam 2 did mean it was less portable-friendly.
The Sonos Roam 2 meanwhile was small and light enough to slip into a jacket pocket.
This is due to the fact that Beats completely redesigned the driver array behind the front-facing grille.
The result is really very good indeed.
And this surprised me even more than the Sonos comparatively lackluster performance.
I wasnt going to call it there, however.
Surely it had more to give than the audio performance I experienced straight out of the box?
Fortunately, it did.
If you like what you hear, stick with it.
With these levels adjusted, there was much less of a difference in the audio output of both speakers.
When it comes to any extra features a Bluetooth speaker has, Im a pretty easy man to kindly.
So, which would I choose?
In this particular speaker square up, Id choose the Pill.
Would I like to be able to tinker with the sound of the Pill?
The other potential deal breaker for most prospective Bluetooth speaker buyers is battery life.
The Beats Pill boasts an applaudable 24 hours, while the Roam 2 musters up only 10.
And, to top it off, the Pill is cheaper than the Roam 2.
I know which one Id rather spend my money on.
