Portability, connectivity & battery for me. M12 radio/charger is most used. Packout is used in the workshop. I’ve a hand held usb box that’s great for when I’m working from room to room

The rolling tray top is a nice touch lol seriously tho the main features I want out of a portable radio Bass and decent volume firstly Bluetooth compatibility, optimization for playing files of various types not just mp3 etc, quick connection usb c charging port option of using it to charge other devices would be nice, ip67 rated,

Awesome video Mark! I’d say some of the most important qualities I’d look for are durability on the job site( make sure it can take a proper beating), sound quality and volume, and that it would not need plugged in, but battery could last all day.

Thanks, it looks like it will hold up well on the job site. Other than that, it checks the boxes on sound quality, runtime, etc.

Been using the pack out radio for over a year. That has been the best Milwaukee radio since the original Rockford-Fosgate one. Pack out has 2 subs speakers, the floor at the last house we worked on. 😂

I had that Rockford-Fosgate radio and it was awesome. Eventually the speaker started to crackle after many years of use. It was a heavy radio, but worth it.

One sub the other one isn’t a sub guy and the bass isn’t good at all😂

Not gonna lie. I did not know the grooves on top were for water to come out. I thought that was for the phone charger cord to sit in

Those little notches on the tray might also be for the phone charger cord

Yes, good point.

In addition to what they told,i think it is also important to have a “find my radio” like the air tag when it is stolen hahaha..

Oh, that would be cool!

Can it link to multiple devices by Bluetooth like a phone and microphone in case I decided to use it for karaoke night

Great question! I believe you can get a 3rd party microphone app for bluetooth and use it on this. I've successfully tested one on the Ryobi connect bluetooth speakers about a year ago.

I would consider buying one of these radios if they played files from a TF card.

That would be interesting. I'm guessing you would need an app to select the songs?

No I wouldn't. I've been producing a variety of 32 GB chips with printouts to list the hundreds or thousands of songs on the chips. My Albums chip contains 730 of the best albums from the 50's to the 2020's. All without THD or clipped waves. They sound fantastic!!! @@MarkThomasBuilder

I really want to get one but don't want to drop the funds without knowing how long the battery lasts on full volume. Usually some of these speakers lack mid range or some bass. Usually I listen to hardstyle, Rawstyle, frenchcore or hardcore and notice it compared to maybe your car speaker.

How does the sound quality compared to the m18/m12 jobsite radio

@MarkThomasBuilder

4 ай бұрын

The M12 radio is great! It's nice and portable and can hook onto a screw or nail on the wall. The M12 sounds good as you turn it up a little louder, where as this M18 sounds rich and full at all levels.

I wonder how does it sound against the other job site radio with the charger?

I never tried to see if there's a difference in sound with the charger. This is one of my favorite radios. It's portable and has the best sound.

I wonder how these compare to other brands that specialize in bluetooth radios.

This one is my favorite so far. The sound is great all all volume levels and it pairs easy. If you search my channel, you'll see I've tested many of them.

The video is almost 11 minutes long, and not once was there ever a mention of price. How much is the MSRP on these radios? How do they compare to the competition? While the video was informative, it obviously had major gaps in its information.

Thanks for letting me know. I just checked one place and it's 179 and another place it's 189.

I like the size of this better then the other big n9n packout M18 radio...but... Doesnt charge batteries. Doesnt have a robust AC cord (cant stand those ac adapters its a fricken jobsite radio helllllllo) Fail.

There's some tradeoffs, so I guess it comes down to what you prefer. As far as sound quality, this is one of the best for it's size.
