  "account": "The Pokémon and Beats Pill have joined forces to create a special edition speaker available at select retailers like Apple and Target. This new model features images of Pikachu and Mimikyu, two popular Pokémon characters from Generation 7. The Beats Pill, originally released in 2024 for $149.99, has been upgraded with improved sound quality and a re-designed racetrack woofer that boosts bass and clarity while reducing distortion. A slightly tilted angle helps direct sound towards listeners' ears rather than towards surfaces. The speaker offers up to 24 hours of battery life, with a quick-charging \"Fast Fuel\" mode that provides two hours of power after just 10 minutes of charging. It supports USB-C connectivity and reverse charging, allowing the speaker to act as a power bank for other devices. Rated IP67 for dust and water resistance, this speaker is perfect for outdoor activities like pool parties and beach days. The Pokémon design is somewhat unconventional, with a mostly grey exterior adorned with Pikachu's yellow hues and red cheeks, and Mimikyu in a grey-scale.",
  "summary": "Update: The speaker is appearing out of stock at Apple with minimal stock flickering in and out at Target . Beats by Dre teased a collaboration with Pokémon earlier this week. We now know what exactly that collaboration involves: a new Pokémon-themed Beats Pill. The special-edition Beats Pill features images of two Pokémon: Pikachu and Mimikyu. Yep, a Gen 7 Pokméon is actually getting some merch…",
