Short answer: the Soundcore Motion 300. It ranks #3 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $79.99; the Beats Pill 2024 ranks #78, rated 3.3/5, and costs $99.95, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The Soundcore Motion 300 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass pick. A compact stereo speaker with deep bass for its size, hi res Bluetooth and a custom EQ for each position, standing or lying down. Its bass reaches about 50Hz before falling 10dB, against 56Hz for the Beats Pill 2024. It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the Beats Pill 2024 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Beats Pill 2024 lacks. Watch for: Without the above EQ or turning the top 2 treble EQ bars to max, this speaker is very rolled off in the treble and will rank around #50 in the rankings.
The Beats Pill 2024 is the longer-running choice. A compact waterproof speaker with long battery life, fast charging, a power bank port and stereo pairing. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 13 for the Soundcore Motion 300. The tradeoff: Boosted upper bass, somewhat thuddy.
Buy the Soundcore Motion 300. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Beats Pill 2024 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
