More Than a Speaker
The Beats Pill is a speaker, but it's also a lifestyle accessory: The design is portable and instantly recognizable and the performance is impressive. The Pill can deliver deep and powerful sound and a room filled with sound thanks to a larger, custom racetrack woofer that displaces 90% more air volume than previous iterations.
The bass comes with a punch when you crank it while hosting a backyard barbecue or chillin' when the only thing on your agenda is enjoying peace and quiet at the lake. The tweeter has also been redesigned for some extra stability for those nice crisp highs and rich mid-range tones, while the new woofer material and structure makes it easier to reduce low-end distortion even at reasonable volumes. No matter where you listen, it is dynamic and crystal clear.
The battery life of the Beats Pill is nothing short of amazing and a single charge will last you approximately 24 hours: That is all day, and into the night with all of the music you could want. Plus, if your phone or other device needs a charge, the Pill can charge those devices via USB-C cable and save you from running out of power.
It is rated IP67 dust and water-resistant, so you don't have to worry if you get sand on it, or a splash of water: It will hold up and even for sudden rain showers. The Beats Pill comes with a removable lanyard and soft-grip silicone backing which makes it easy to carry or to handle no matter where your summer adventures lead you.
On top of the Bluetooth connection, audiophiles can enjoy high-resolution lossless audio when used via USB-C to a laptop or other desktop computers. If you want to get serious about sound and double the output, you can pair two Beats Pill speakers together in Amplify mode or Stereo mode. Either way, you will amplify the fun of listening to music. You might even get some extra friends over for the party?
Amazon has the all-time lowest price available for the Pill just before the summer months, and now is your chance to get your very own Beats Pill!

Best Photos of Marilyn Monroe Over the Years

When people think of Old Hollywood, one of the first images that pops into their head is the legendary starlet Marilyn Monroe. An A-list actress who came from tragic, humble beginnings, Monroe had an unstable home life and grew up in orphanages, leaving them to pursue her starlet dreams as soon as possible. She was discovered working in a factory for World War II and was soon cast in high-profile modeling gigs. Then Hollywood called her name as she set to star in classics like Some Like It Hot, The Seven-Year Itch, and Gentleman Prefer Blondes, to name a few. From playing the 'blonde bombshell' to defining an era of beauty, Marilyn Monroe seemed to be able to do anything she wanted. Sadly, the smiling face many adored on the silver screen was not the reality. Monroe had a hard life, battling extensive mental issues and lost love. It was well known that her mental state was fragile, but she was hailed as a beacon of strength for herself and her friends nonetheless. On Aug. 4, 1962, the world was heartbroken when Monroe was found dead in her bedroom at age 36 from suicide. Ever since then, many have paid homage to the starlet through the art of their own. Most recently, Madonna paid homage to Monroe in a series of controversial photos. To this day, many ask questions about her life and sudden death. But over 60 years after her untimely death, she remains one of the most celebrated actresses in history. Learn more about her turbulent life, career, and romances in the iconic photos below, in honor of what would've been her 99th birthday today. A version of this article was originally published on Nov 2021.

The head of new talent at Fox Studios, Ben Lyon, thought she looked like a Marilyn, and she requested to have the last name Monroe in honor of her grandmother. And despite being a natural brunette, Monroe's agency, Blue Book Modeling Agency, wanted her to bleach her hair to a lighter color. Monroe was quite erratic with showing up for the set, so she would have her own screen-tests at random times. In 1949, Marilyn Monroe was cast in her first leading role in the film, Ladies of the Chorus. Monroe worked tirelessly to earn her iconic role in the film noir, The Asphalt Jungle. Director John Huston said she was amazing at the audition. 'Marilyn didn't get the part because of Johnny [her agent]. She got it because she was damned good.' Before she was discovered, Marilyn Monroe worked factory jobs to help supply forces for World War II. Marilyn Monroe had a strong desire to be taken more seriously as an actress, despite being cast in comedies. Marilyn Monroe frequently consulted with acting coaches, but she had a soft spot for her first one, Natasha Lytess. Marilyn Monroe was very well-read and had over 400 volumes in her library. Monroe frequently spoke in third person, saying things like, 'She wouldn't do this. Marilyn wouldn't say that.' Marilyn Monroe frequently attended A-list movie premieres and always wore lavish gowns. For Gentleman Prefer Blondes, Monroe stole the show with her performances. However, she earned about $18,000, while her male co-stars earned upwards of $150,000. So she insisted on her own dressing room saying, 'I am the blonde, and it is Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.' Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall starred alongside one another in the hit film, How to Marry a Millionaire. Old-Hollywood starlet Betty Grable starred with them as well. Marilyn Monroe frequently traveled around the globe for her work. (Original Caption) Marilyn Monroe is shown in this photo entertaining military troops in Korea. Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio's rollercoaster romance only lasted nine months. They got married spontaneously only a few months into their relationship and then got divorced over their long-term goals. Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio frequented the Stork Club, just like Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Marilyn once said about her favorite singer. 'Well, my very favorite person, and I love her as a person as well as a singer. I think she's the greatest, and that's Ella Fitzgerald.' They ended up being great friends, and Monroe used her A-list status to help with Fitzgerald's career. Despite her lavish outfits and accessories, Marilyn wasn't a fan of statement pieces. She would wear costume jewelry most of the time. Monroe's most iconic look was when she cheekily stepped onto a grate, having the wind blow up her dress. She shocked audiences with this performance in The Seven Year Itch and it has been considered a legendary scene to this day. Monroe frequently brushed elbows with A-listers like Vivien Leigh and Sir Laurence Olivier. Monroe and her third husband, Arthur Miller, were all smiles at movie premieres of all kinds. But behind the scenes, they had a hard marriage filled with distance, miscarriages, and fighting. Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe waited in their car to leave their residence. Monroe and Miller lived in a now-$6.75 million NYC penthouse. Marilyn Monroe left her home in New York to film the iconic film, Some Like It Hot. She took a brief acting break before returning to act in the legendary film. Ronald Reagan actually gave Marilyn Monroe her first big job. Reagan thought sending pictures of pretty factory girls would boost morale, so he got Monroe in some shots! Marilyn was notorious for being late on-set and forgetting her lines, even in her most popular production, Some Like It Hot. Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift starred alongside one another in the hit film, The Misfits. This was Monroe's last feature-length film before her untimely death. Monroe had to undergo an emergency gall bladder operation in 1961, but was in good spirits afterwards. Oscar-nominated actor Don Murray said Monroe hated being in front of the camera. 'I think it was a lack of confidence. For somebody who the camera loved, she was still terrified of going before the camera and broke out in a rash all over her body.' Despite this, the camera undeniably loved her. Something's Got to Give was Marilyn's last performance before her death less than six months later.

Pittsburgh Steelers' Rookie QB Will Howard Earns Comparisons to Super Bowl Champion Jalen Hurts

Pittsburgh Steelers' Rookie QB Will Howard Earns Comparisons to Super Bowl Champion Jalen Hurts originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers don't have a final answer on who's playing quarterback next season, but if it comes down to rookie Will Howard, some feel like the team is in great hands. Advertisement The Steelers are still playing the long waiting game with free agent veteran Aaron Rodgers, who has yet to sign a contract to wear the black and gold in 2025. There's a chance that he won't. Which means the team would have to find an answer elsewhere - perhaps a trade for Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins - or rely on Howard. Bleacher Report's James Palmer thinks that Howard's upside is so high, he compared him to a Super Bowl-winning quarterback in the state of Pennsylvania. "Will Howard has some traits that some people really, really liked in this draft," Palmer said. "Big, strong, athletic guy. There was one comment that I thought was interesting. Somebody compared him, when I was talking in the draft process, to Jalen Hurts. Just kind of in terms of the physicality and the size he can run with. I think Hurts is a better athlete out in space, but I just thought that was interesting that somebody brought that up." Advertisement The Steelers picked up Howard in the sixth round of this year's NFL Draft with the No. 185 overall pick. If he can turn into anything close to Hurts, a second-round pick in 2020, then Pittsburgh will have found a gem in the late rounds. He could also make Steelers fans forget that they ever thought about signing Rodgers.
