Short answer: the Bogasing M5. It ranks #61 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $52.99; the Beats Pill 2024 ranks #78, rated 3.3/5, and costs $99.95, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
What the Beats Pill 2024 does well: A compact waterproof speaker with long battery life, fast charging, a power bank port and stereo pairing. Watch for: Boosted upper bass, somewhat thuddy.
Why pick the Bogasing M5: A compact, backpack friendly speaker with very long battery life and USB-C charging at a budget price. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Beats Pill 2024 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Beats Pill 2024 lacks. Watch for: Front/rear driver configuration.
Buy the Bogasing M5. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Beats Pill 2024 and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
