If all you will use it for is the Bluetooth speaker and not the radio the newer cylindrical m12 for its size is ok, my coworker has it and it’s significantly louder than mine- I have the older style m12 that’s rectangular and has a radio. I have to say I wasn’t blown away by the sound quality but it isn’t bad. If I were to choose between the two having neither I’d buy the newer one he has, as I really very rarely listen to radio.
All that said I was working in a garage for months during the winter and wanted something that was gonna make some real noise and I have m18 and m12 batteries. I tried every m18 radio they make other than the flat packout one and returned all of them. Hooked up to my phone none of them seemed loud to me in the garage.
I had recently been looking at JBL because I thought it might be a better value but never got around to pulling the trigger on one. Sadly I’ve just said fuck a radio lately (very unlike me) and have just been going AirPods all day. Pros and cons to that of course but I definitely prefer a radio experience all things considered if you can find one that’s a good fit for your work environment.
Its a great speaker. Its almost as good as JBL plus you can link multiple speakers together and turn the whole house into a nightclub. 4xc battery gives you 10hrs on medium volume I believe
I have it, and it sounds just as good as the JBLs I've heard, which are considered very good amongst speakers this size. And, you don't have to worry about the batteries wearing out or going bad and turning the speaker into a paperweight.
Those complaining about the lack of bass are simply expecting too much out of a speaker this size. The Bose speakers make it "sound bigger," but at a huge cost to actual sound quality. I'd rather have good sound, than fake, bloated bass.
