Beats® Pill

Beats® Pill

A late afternoon outing to Target® in Ala Moana Center was planned earlier for the sole purpose of acquiring a few necessities. In addition to the latter, the new Beats® Pill was purchased for $149 (not on sale) for no particular reason. Well, with health issues mounting, why not? A “keel over” event could occur at any moment.

There are a couple of skeptical reasons for the purchase. One, the Beats® Pill could be used to listen to the Smiling Mind “mindfulness” sessions. Two, the device could be used as a source of nocturnal background sounds to mask all of the ambient noise. Of course, it could also be used for the infamous One-Man House Party.

Anyway, the sound of the Beats® Pill is similar to the old JBL® Flip 5 that was divested. Yeah, lots of bass with a muffled high end. Alas, maybe it will be put back its box and left sitting around like the iPad Pro M4 and the AirPods Pro 2 earbuds. Sheesh!

An optical appointment was made for later in September with an optometrist adjacent to the Ross® store in town. The choice was simply for convenience. The staff there apparently believes that Medicare clients are low class. So, that will most likely be the first and last appointment there.

Eating fruits for evening dessert has been suspended indefinitely, the reason being that the cause of a few other health symptoms needs to be isolated. There is some concern that pre-diabetes or diabetes may be implicated. Of course, only a blood test after the next medical examination next month will yield an answer.

On a side note, the situation at the “old folks home” in Waikiki is approaching “critical mass.” Many residents have already stated that they are moving out. So far, not a word from the new property management staff.

Addendum: The Beats® Pill has performed quite well, especially in playing House Music tracks. Even at low volume, the sound quality is more than adequate. With the AirPods Pro 2 earbuds, the sound appears to originate inside the cranium and creates listening fatigue. Not so with the Pill. The Pill also performs superbly with the Smiling Mind sessions.
