Milwaukee - M18™/M12™ Wireless Jobsite Speaker

I have both as well and think the new speaker is far superior.

I got one and really like it, especially the mounting/hanging options and mobility compared to my Makita DMR115. The sound quality is very good and the bass is fine - make sure to max out the bass in the speakers equalizer settings!

I was doing electrical inside a small addition and next thing you knwo my homie brings in his new toy and started blasting this 10 feet away from the building. I could hear it loud and clear, with bumping bass. He's charging his phone with that speaker too. I'm an M18 guy but this M12 is definitely worth investing.

For $129 and being used frequently, its better than the M18 invertor that's $100 and rarely gets used outside of charging phones.

Its probably on par with JBL, and yeah their speakers like this are over $100, last I checked, so this is a good choice since its battery is interchangeable.

Here ya go buddy. Its pleasantly good for something so small https://preview.redd.it/ocojosjwrhkf1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=921d0e0dd369d9fe1b426f9450f690c0d4710bd4

When on full, it sounds like somebody is throwing a loud house party. I could be wrong because I haven't had a JBL for a while since I switched over to earbuds, but this is pretty good.

Son of a bitch I bought the speaker 2 weeks ago at full price

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

Yeah, I got in on that deal too. I bought two, in the hopes that the "audio link" feature could make them work in proper stereo. However, that wasn't the case, so I returned one set. They accidentally refunded me for both. Oops. That said, I don't really have a use for the batteries, so I'll probably try and sell them locally. But, the speaker is quite good, and certainly better than you'd expect from a tool company. It's also built a lot better than your typical audio brand speakers, and would definitely survive a fall or other accident better.

Milwaukee's speakers can be hit or miss. Some good, some bad. It's obvious you've never actually given this one a chance, since your assessment simply isn't accurate for this one.

>I have heard it, as a matter of fact. It suffers from the same sound distortion and bass issues as all of the other Milwaukee speakers that I've heard, and produces far inferior sound quality to similarly sized speakers from UE or JBL. It sounds like the one you listened to was defective. Mine does not have those issues. It compares favorably to multiple JBL and UE speakers that I've listened to. >It's obvious that you don't give a shit about audio quality Interesting assumption. Wrong, but hey, you do you boo. >and like to make asinine assumptions about other people's points of view and experiences. Says the poster who just made an asinine assumption about my views and experiences.

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.

Don't get me wrong; I love good bass. The key is **good** bass, not fake, bloated bass.

Well, for many of us, we already have way too many batteries. They'd just go unused and rot away.

Live mine, no problems whatsoever, and great sound. No idea why others say otherwise.

Sound quality is fine but every Milwaukee speaker has Bluetooth issues and is always hard to connect but at that price I might still snag it

$129 with two “free” 2.0s was worth it for me. Bought last week, I’m happy with it. I wish it had a radio function, but the sound is good and I can charge other stuff with it.

not the greatest speaker but it makes up for it by being M12 and matching the rest of your tools. durability is nice too ig

It’s a great speaker for what it’s designed to do. The other day I had it going for several hours with a 3.0 battery and it still shows fully charged.

I swear the box said it was like 200 feet... I've never been more than ten away yet.

I bought this when it first came out and yes it's fricking awesome. Bought a second one because it was free with a battery purchase. You can connect a ridiculous amount of them together, granted I've only tried 2 but they're still cool.

I bought this on a HD glitched bundle that ended up being like $65 bare tool. I like it, but honestly, it doesn't really sound much different than the M12 Bluetooth radio. I like that it has packout compatability though. That was a very nice touch. But if you already have the m12 radio, imo I don't think it's really worth it.

Have you messed with the audio settings? My speaker already had the bass levels raised out of the box. After lowering it and playing the same song through both speaker and radio, I couldn't tell much of a difference. I would say though, the bass boost on the new speaker is noticeably better. But for the most part, they're very close imo.
