We’re well past the Prime Day Redux now, but several standout deals from the sale are still hanging on. In fact, some are even better than they were during the two-day sale — even if only a smidge. The Beats Pill portable Bluetooth speaker in red is down to $97.99 ($52 off) at Amazon, for example, which is $1 cheaper than the all-time low we saw it hit this past week. It’s also still available for $99.99 ($50 off) in gold and black.

The Beats Pill speaker is even cheaper than it was during Prime Day
The Beats Pill Bluetooth speaker is $1 cheaper than its all-time low Prime Day price. Plus, you a Fire TV Stick 4K Max Game Pass bundle and AirPods Max are at their lowest.
The pill-shaped speaker represents a roaring comeback for the brand in the category. It’s the first new Beats-branded portable speaker we’ve seen in years after the Pill Plus was discontinued in 2022. Apple refined the original’s charming design and revamped its entire feature set with welcome modernities like two-way USB-C charging and lossless audio. We also get native support for some iOS and Android tie-ins, including each platform’s respective Find My feature and access to Siri and Google Assistant (sadly, you can’t summon either by voice).
We found it sounds pretty good, too. Apple claims its redesigned woofer and repositioned tweeter handle distortion better, and it does sound good for its size, though we noticed its limitations as a mono speaker at the volume’s high end. You can pair two of them for true stereo sound, however, and it’s otherwise great for most listening scenarios. The speaker also has IP67 water and dust protection, up to 24 hours of battery life, and a built-in lanyard for easy transport.
