JBL Flip 5 vs Beats Pill

The JBL Flip 5 and the Beats Pill are similarly-sized portable speakers with detachable carrying straps. While both offer similar performance, there are some feature differences that can influence your buying decision. The Beats is compatible with Google Assistant and Siri if paired with an iPhone or Android phone, making it a better choice for users who use voice commands. The JBL features Bluetooth multi-device pairing, though, which can be useful if you and a friend want to share tune selection duties. The JBL speaker also retails for less and comes in a wider range of colors. All in all, the JBL is a good choice for those who want a portable speaker on a budget, but the Beats' voice assistant compatibility could be worth the additional outlay.
