Beats didn’t just reintroduce its iconic pill speaker in two new colors—they handed the mic to two of sports’ most magnetic personalities to do it. Formula 1’s Daniel Ricciardo and WNBA star Angel Reese aren’t just endorsers here—they’re the heartbeat of a relaunch that fuses tech, culture, and summer-ready energy.
In a character-filled campaign that debuted on April 28, Beats reintroduced two exclusive new colorways—navy blue and blush pink—each paired with a “Pill People” version of Ricciardo and Reese. The mini Ricciardo, animated with his trademark cheeky charm, takes a shoey straight from the speaker.
Meanwhile, Reese’s version is bold, unapologetic, and styled with her signature edge. Their voices powerfully bring the characters to life in the brand’s playful promo videos, offering a fresh face to the product.
But the cuteness isn’t just skin-deep. Underneath the stylish shell, the new Beats Pill packs serious audio upgrades. The woofer now displaces 90 percent more air, resulting in a noticeably deeper and richer bass. You can pair two speakers for spatial audio or multi-room sound, and its USB-C wired audio support even lets you enjoy lossless playback—something audiophiles will appreciate on the go.

The speaker keeps its capsule shape but is now rated IP67 for water and dust resistance, making it pool-party and beach-trip ready. Battery life has been doubled to a full 24 hours, and if your phone battery dies mid-playlist, the Pill can act as a power bank. It’s as durable as it is portable, and comes with a detachable lanyard to carry it wherever summer takes you.
Each colorway brings personality to the product line. The navy version, linked to ricciardo, is available exclusively at Walmart, while Reese’s blush pink edition is only at Target. Both retail for $149.99 and blend form with function for fans who want a speaker that performs—and looks—like a champion.
