These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Soundcore Boom Go 3i ranks #2 of 62 small speakers by sound quality at $59.98; the Beats Pill 2024 ranks #78 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $99.95.
The Soundcore Boom Go 3i is the lighter option. A tough, floating mini speaker with full waterproofing, a long battery and a detachable strap, built for travel and the outdoors. At 0.8 lbs (380 g) it weighs much less than the Beats Pill 2024 at 1.5 lbs (680 g). It has an adjustable EQ, which the Beats Pill 2024 lacks. The tradeoff: This is still a 15W mono speaker: bass impact and stereo width are limited, and critical listeners may find the upper treble piercing or metallic.
Why pick the Beats Pill 2024: A compact waterproof speaker with long battery life, fast charging, a power bank port and stereo pairing. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Soundcore Boom Go 3i lacks. The catch: Boosted upper bass, somewhat thuddy.
Buy the Soundcore Boom Go 3i ($59.98) for a small speaker; the Beats Pill 2024 ($99.95) suits a medium speaker instead.
