Milwaukee's ***New*** M12 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Bluetooth/AM/FM Jobsite Radio with Charger

[@TerryManitoba]

How about a comparison video between your Milwaukee speaker systems and how they sound to each other and how they sound to an equivalently priced Bose or Beats or??? And maybe what application each device would be more appropriate for. THX

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

I will do it 👍🏻. Thank you for the idea.

[@rolandm9750]

Trust me, this thing is garbage, and so are all other "tool battery" speakers I've tried so far which is several. I don't mean the features and stuff, those are all pretty good. I mean the sound. It won't hold a candle to even the entry level stuff from JBL & UE like Flip and Boom. These tool speakers get louder than those but that's about it. The sound is just...bad. Best word to describe it is, "harsh". Tried/heard stuff from Ryobi, DeWalt, JBL, Ridgid, so far, nothing is good. If you want SQ stick to the "audio brands" not the "tool brands"... *Definitely* not the tool brands. The Packout radio and the DeWalt similar ones (Tough System, Tstak) those are much better but very expensive and also much larger. The smaller ones all suck, at least all I've tried so far.

@@rolandm9750 Thanks for the thorough reply. I asked this more than a year ago & have since bought the M12 Milwaukee speaker for the RV. I did this as we have lots of other M12 devices when we travel an it is that much nicer to be able to have plenty of batteries at hand when one battery runs out. That is the main reason I bought the M12. I do agree - sound is not that great - but in the RV ( & outside) it is more lover volume background music. I have to say that the M12 connects more consistency (virtually always) to my iPhone 14 than how my AirPod Pro connect to the iPhone.

[@guymeetskitchen1576]

Great video. I agree with you . They should have made a spot to store the cord. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@petethehandyman9185]

Guy Meets Kitchen I keep it all in an extra Milwaukee tool bag

[@donjuanthepiper7166]

Great radio, got one for the garage. 6ah battery last forever. Only gripe is the bass distorts at any high volume. When I wants to rock I cant have that, maybe I should adjust the antenna or equalizer?

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

I get those " Want to Rock " moments too. Try messing with the Bass and Treble adjustments. Hopefully, that might help you out a little bit.

[@jaycarneygiants]

Nice USB charger.... You can use it to charge a second M12 if you buy the adapter. Is the cord proprietary or just a standard barrel lug on the end?

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

Standard barrel plug

[@Finnamakeausername]

My right ear enjoyed this, thank you lol

[@jonstechchannel]

What do I need to not forget to do?

[@9-5channel]

Do you get a lot of vibration from the buttons when you turn it up or is it just mine?

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

No vibrations. Mine buttons or pretty solid at high volumes.

[@rdanscale3416]

I smeeeshed that Like Button Phill Radio looks Pretty Good i just Picked up the Job Site Radio that you wanted they still stock them at most Home Depot's I thought the Price was bit High but For an Outstanding Radio 📻 Sound & with a Built in Charger.. the cost is kind of justified my Radio is perched up On a Drawer cabinet in our Frontroom so its easy peasy for her for Now.. Take Care & Happy Holidays 🦃🎅 Allen D

Im mostly into Bluetooth streaming, I’m very curious how it compares with the JSSP M18 speaker behind you. Tell me about that! Thanks in advance!

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

Both are great for Bluetooth streaming. The range on both are 100ft. The M18/M12 Portable bluetooth speaker will except both m18 & m12 batteries but will not charge. I am more of a Bluetooth streamer myself too. The M12 is my shop radio and The portable m18/m12 speaker is my grab and go for the farm.

[@w.dorrestijn9039]

Thanks Philip! So the sound quality on its own isn’t better on the M12/M18? Does the M12/M18 have a fuller and richer sound then the new m12? Sizewise there should be a difference.

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

@@w.dorrestijn9039 the m18/12 does have a fuller sound and can handle more at higher volume.

[@w.dorrestijn9039]

Thanks! This is helpful👍🏻

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

@@w.dorrestijn9039 You are Welcome 😃

[@freecanadaland]

Does the battery get stuck on the radio, difficult to come off?

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

Yes. Sometimes. I wipe just a little lithium grease on the inside plastic of the battery housing with a rag. I find it helps the battery slide out easier.

[@JuanDuarte-mn6qd]

Was your speaker screeching when you got it?

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

No, there shouldn't be a screeching sound. That might be a problem with the unit

[@teofilojimenez5516]

Just got mine about a week ago and my Bluetooth stopped working

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

Is it just not pairing with your phone or not sending a Bluetooth signal out? Sometimes if WiFi is On , on your phone. It can mess up the Bluetooth signal. Or since it’s only been a week. Return and get a new one.

[@Julio-jm8ld]

That slot you look at in min 12:13 any idea what its for?

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

The back slot? That is for the battery. They made it have enough room for bigger M12 batteries in the future. 👍🏻

[@petrkulac3843]

It is possible to set a normal European fm for this type of radio. In particular, 100.8 Fm ?? Thank you for the info

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

Yes. If you are in Europe and buy Milwaukee’s Europe model. You can get any FM station in your area.

[@jamesfair9751]

@@PhillipBridgesReviews does the sound distort at high volumes ? Have you noticed any interference with the radio and any other electronics ?

[@TheYazza1]

The EU model has DAB so you can get any radio station around the world

[@jaycarneygiants]

No AUX input?

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

Only connects Bluetooth or just Am/Fm. It would have been nice with an AUX input.

[@vanillagorilla8236]

Just picked one up 2 days ago, and worth every penny. Typical Milwaukee.

[@CP-ok1gv]

Just picked this up. How do you get all these tools?

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

Awesome. 👍🏻Buy them through a good tool supply company.

[@petethehandyman9185]

Might pick one up, on deal with 2 batteries and a charger for $179

[@petethehandyman9185]

Got one today,,2- 4.0 batteries,charger ,bag and the radio for $179. I like it. Thought about getting the 12 rocket light but I already have the m18 light,so radio it is! Sounds good too! Thanks

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

Thats a great deal with 2- 4.0 m12's

[@Vintila86]

I have the radio, it is a jewel

[@alejandroescalante9194]

and I thought I was a Milwaukee fanboy 🥵

[@kgfrmdatrey]

What if both blinking red and green

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

That usually means there is something wrong with the m12 battery.

[@IvanRossS]

Microphone!!!! You need Microphone.... smh . Even regular $15 wired Microphone will make it sounds so much better!!!

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

That was a cheap shotgun mic I picked up. I have switched to a sennheiser make 600. 👍🏻 audio is king.

[@highlander4731]

I bought today I do everything like manual instructions say but my have no sound can someone help me why

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

No sound on the Bluetooth settings? Make sure your Bluetooth volume is up on your phone.
