----------------------------------------------------
The Milwaukee M18 Bluetooth Jobsite Radio packs dual 3.5” woofers and 2 high-range tweeters. Milwaukee Tool claims this to be BALANCED SOUND for the job site. In my opinion, they set the expectations that this is a good job site radio, and they knocked that out of the park. I believe this to be the best-sounding radio that Milwaukee makes.
Bluetooth 5.0 provides up to 120 ft of range and we did not have any issues with connecting or changing phones.
The AM/FM capabilities are superb! Even hard-to-get radio stations came in crystal clear. 18 presets, 9 AM and 9 FM, help you to get to your favorite channels fast and are saved in memory with two AAA batteries.
The equalizer settings allow you to change the bass and treble.
One M18 5Ah battery provides up to 13 hours of runtime at MAX volume!
Charge up personal devices with USB-C 3.0A device charging.
Power the radio with any M18 battery or the provided AC Adapter.
Nice radio, but was waiting from the wow factor the entire time.
If they made that a charger, or that top pad a wireless charger. That would have me sold.
That’s next model
Once again, a great review i will be adding this new radio to my outdoor tunes arsenal!
Not charging the battery is a deal breaker for me. I want less "stuff" in a job site. Looks good overall tho
I like the radio does what it supposed to do. Not getting the built in charger hate tho you’re gonna go to a job with all your Milwaukee tools, and expect to keep battery’s charged off a little radio
How is it compare to dewalt dcr028b ? I am trying to decide between these two. I would be great help if you can give some comparison
this is a very good sounding milwaukee radio. better than the last m18 non Bluetooth milwaukee radio. however; I was expecting a little more loudness from this version. I would also like the aux option as the older version of milwaikee m18 boombox radio had.
Is there a setting to turn off the voice that reads out the song?
My brother just gave me this speaker, it doesn’t announce the song name
How does this compare to the M12 Bluetooth Radio Charger 2951-20??
this radio has a higher quality sound than the m12 2951-20 radio. however I'm not sure if it is that much better loudness wise. the size and features of thr 2951-20 still make it my favorite of the milwaukee radios that I have had. in addition I like the red charging light of the 2951-20 radio. the new m18 bluetooth radio doesn't have this feature either.
My only question is is it worth going from a Milwaukee pack out radio to this? Mine messed up and am looking forward in getting a new one just don’t know if this would sound better than the pack out one
I wish this one was a packout too lol. Could be the half size style box like the cooler for example.
@@rowankeltizar5961 now that would be nice smaller speaker and packout capable. Space wize yes sound wize rather the packout. I tried one out yesterday sounds nice but the packout is louder and bass is harder on that one
@@juanperales1999 the ideal would be a modular daisy chain so you can build your own surround system. Like a dedicated subwoofer box, dedicated M12 tweeters!
I hope milwaukee makes one exactly like this one but smaller, don't matter is it doesn't have a charger and the speakers are little smaller
It's better then all the box store brands because this runs longer with extra batteries if needed.
What’s it like compared to the old M18 Milwaukee radio? The one that is quite tall, and heavy, almost like a large cube shape.
It lacks some of the base that unit has, but similar in sound.
how many milwaukee systems does Anvil studios make?
Wow I just bought one at Home Depot because the tool guy said that it would charge any size battery that is M18. Once again I have to return a Milwaukee tool that does not fit my needs. I won't listen to anymore tools guys either
trusting people at home depot, smh...
I was looking at buying one of these but it’s a bit of a swing and a miss for me. Not packout compatible, and doesn’t work as a charger. Which was the main reason I wanted it. Another nice feature they could have done is make that flat spot on the top be a wireless charger pad for phones.
How many watts of power does this radio have since I have not seen this information
40 watts.
Regular 110 outlet, wireless phone charging, m18 battery charging, packout compatible i would buy it. But its not comapct enough to be saving any space over the other compact radios they have. For those that want more bass it miss the mark. Give it a dual battery and enough space to fit at leat one sub and id be sold. What they should really do is make separate smaller speakers you can link together to build your own system. Make dedicated tweeters, mids and subs. Tweeters can run on m12 and be put anywhere. Make a dedicated bass boombox with 2 subs. Use dual battery system if you had to. Id buy that in a heartbeat!
Why release a new radio if it has nothing to offer over previous models already available?
The fact that it doesn't have any M18 charging capabilities made me return this radio. It's a battle for real estate for us tradesman working for ourselves in trucks and vans. The price point and features don't align
$149
I charge all my batteries in the weekend, I don't carry a charger with me, never need one in almost 2 years, besides that, I could easily use one of my coworkers charger if I need to
1:47 "Save Big Money at Menards!"
Does it work with packout, or are we stuck with the huge radio packout system already has out?
Not packout compatible
whats a great party radio?
But is it better than my 4 year old Milwaukee 2891-20 job site speaker….? My speaker is starting to get grainy if I push it bass wise. But with this being almost the same price is it better for sound quality and loudness? I work in a steel factory and this one works great but I need something louder and new lol
I feel it is louder and much more crisp. But you do loose some of the 180 degree sound.
What does the AC input do if it doesnt charge the battery? Is it exclusively an alternate source of power for when a battery dies or something?
@@andrewfarley3144 it simply allows you to use the radio without a battery.
@@WorkshopAddict gotcha, thank you
A little confused with this radio that's the same as their current one with the same form factor and no DAB radio? Weird
I want 1 can play radio, bluetooth, can charge my phone perfect for garage, home, jobsite, outdoors size is great im sold for me i dont need the fancy wireless charging pad for phone and as far as charging my batteries that would be nice cant lie but if its gunna interfere with the bluetooth or sound quality I dont want it would be nice but not a must for me
Literally exactly like the old one but with Bluetooth and no charger. Lame. It's so easy to see what we want in these radios, why can't Milwaukee figure it out?
What’s was the old one model number ?
My clock is so tiny & doesnt stay on in standby bluetooth volume control dont work either 😡
@@akira5982 return and get one that works.
They need to update their m12 stereo, Their m12 stereo is really old and has no bluetooth.
The price just went up on these
It has a usb-C to charge people
Yeah. They want it to charge the m18 battery when plugged in.
I understand why they don’t. The m18 battery charger costs $100. The radio is already like $180. Those battery chargers have a lot of safety electronics and fans in them. It isn’t easy to just include that in the radio. It would make the radio bigger and have vents for the fans and whatnot.
J'avais le petit m12 mais il est tomber en bas du ciseau lift et maintenant il griche, j'ai acheté le packout et c'est un méchant radio puissant je l'aime bien je suis content , si lui du vidéo aurais eter sortit ses lui jaurais pris, a 450$ can le packout je lui fais attention haha
Would have better with a remote
If it was half the size it would be cool
Hit the gym up bre. 😂
My Milwaukee 2950 SUX, this one looks worse. In my arsenal of radios, the best sound quality is still the Dewalt toughsystem 1.0 radio.
But, when I first got my hands on toughsystem 1.0 radio it was 7 years ago, that old MF starting to break down. I need a new one.
Does anyone know when Dewalt toughsystem 3.0 radio will be released?
Cheap ass plug in adapter. No charging.
Fail.
I bought it. It plays good as intended.
At 13 seconds, he said "Small Size"... Hmmmmmm
How is the FM reception?
Great, I went over it in the video for some time.
Bought this radio, keeps freezing for 2 seconds every 20 minuites on all modes, i even swapped it for a new one and it does the same thing, anyone else see this problem?
@@conorrountree5595 can you try another phone and see if it does the same?
i can try that but It's doing it on FM mode when not connected to anything
@conorrountree5595 That's not good. I have never had a comment of that happening.
ye it's very annoying, not sure what to do, you obviously haven't seen this issue yet maybe yours is same and you just missed when it freezed
@conorrountree5595 mine runs on Bluetooth 100 percent if the time.
Yaawn.
I bet you I can wake up your your whole neighborhood and you with it. 😂
It doesn't sound any better than my $10 headphones!
Most people would have this over your headphones anyday. 😂
that's cause it's playing out your $10 headphones. If you heard it in person it would sound way different.
well, you're listening to it through whatever microphone the video was shot on, in a shop, then went through youtube compression, and then back out your $10 headphones, it's not going to sound anything like it would in person
Ac adaptor lol junk come on at $200 this really needed more things...
