Nothing says summer like shopping for a new bluetooth speaker to take with you to the pool, and Beats just came to the rescue with brand new navy blue and blush pink color ways.
The colors are part of a collaboration with F1’s Daniel Ricciardo and the WNBA’s Angel Reese, both of whom are sports icons. To bring the new campaign to life, Beats created “pill people” characters modeled after Ricciardo and Reese, and they are absolutely adorable. The new colors launch April 28, and at $149.99, they’re a great option for people on the hunt for robust, bass-heavy sound to take with them on outdoor excursions.

The adorable characters are packed with personality and decked out in sporty accessories that perfectly-complement both Reese and Ricciardo. The brand even released fun videos voiced by both Reese and Ricciardo, respectively.
As for the speakers themselves, they offer a sleek, pill-shaped design and 24-hours of battery life. One of the more convenient features is that you can charge your other electronics by connecting them to the speaker with a USB cable. Both are IP67-rated for their water- and dust-resistance, and they’re also incredibly durable so you don’t have to worry about tossing them in your bag.
You can pair the speakers together if you want extra surround sound or the ability to place one in different rooms. They also come with racetrack woofers, which displace 90 percent more air volume—essentially meaning that they produce a much deeper, richer bass sound.
The navy speaker is exclusive to Walmart and the blush pink color way is exclusive to Target. Both of the new speakers are priced at $149.99.
