Buying all 4 speakers at once saves you 75 cent compared to the price of buying just a single speaker.
Hope this helps anyone looking for replacement speakers for their Beats Pill 1.0

I just got all 4 new speakers to replace the older ones as the rubber rims have all soften and sort of disintegrated/damaged. Only problems with the replacement speakers plastic body are not same as original ones. So the speakers won’t fit the 2 clips, so almost no way to secure the speakers. Probably need to be Super glue.
