Beats Pill vs Bose SoundLink Plus

The Bose SoundLink Plus and the Beats Pill are both very portable speakers but have slightly different strengths. While both speakers have to downmix stereo content to mono, the Bose has a more balanced default frequency response and can get a fair bit louder. The Bose also compresses much more as it approaches max volume. It boasts a much longer battery life, though, as well as graphic EQ and presets in the companion app. While the Beats might be second place in audio playback, it features robust voice assistant support (so long as you have a compatible iOS or Android device).
