Great little radio, it sound better than some of the other job site radios three times it's size. The only thing I would change, is have the ipod charge while its pluged to the radio

After spending a fortune on D batteries on our beach trip last summer to fill up our old boom box, I knew it was time for a change. I wanted something I could plug my iphone into, something small, durable, and a rechargeable battery. My Google search with this criteria led me straight to the M12, and man am I glad it did. Check out the YouTube video of this thing if you question its durability. I haven't been to the beach yet, but I did bring it with me to play a couple hours of tennis with some friends. The battery indicator didn't even drop, and I had it at 3/4 volume. My iphone fits into the compartment perfectly, as I stream endless commercial free music via Rhapsody, Pandora and Slacker via the 3G network (iTunes is dead eventually). I have a $3000 JL/Alpine audio system in my car, so I know really good sound. Of course I wasn't expecting much more than clear sound from the M12, and of course no bass to speak of. Listening to this little guy inside from 8 feet away was sort of disappointing. It's not until you get it outdoors do you see how this thing just seems to cut through all the ambient sounds of the outdoors and delivers clear rocking sound to my ears even yards and yards away. For me, this is the perfect travel radio. Also, the charger works well...only 30 minutes to charge the 6 hour battery. One of the prongs was bent on the charger (this is common in the reviews). Be a man and fix it yourself if this happens to you. It wasn't hard to figure out. Peace and great music to all.
PS. The radio comes in well, even without the antennae up for many stations. I don't listen to radio (too many
car commercials and other retarded ads), but thought I would be helpful.
PSS. To maximize the sound quality, I like to turn it up to about 3/4's, bring the bass down 2 notches, and the treble up 4 notches. Turning up the bass too high will cause the sound to be pretty muddy in a hurry. This isn't meant to provide dance floor bass....

I was amazed at how small this radio is. I didn't think that it would work for me at all, but I was surprized at just how big it sounds. It has very good sound quality. With your eyes closed, you would swear that this was a much larger unit. The only fault that I could find with it was the low battery life. With a full charge, the battery only last about 4 hrs with the radio on. I looked for a power adaptor that would plug into the cigarette lighter, but Milwaukee doesn't make one. They make a charger that plugs into the lighter, but that just charges the battery. If they made that power adaptor, this radio would get a perfect rating.

This radio is very sturdy and has decent volume. I was concerned that it might not be loud enough. While it doesn't have a huge sound, it's loud enough to play over noises made during home projects. The radio clarity is great with the antenna up, and bass is acceptable for my tastes and standards. M12 battery and plug-in options make it versatile. The handles along the side make it easy to carry or even hang from the ceiling, it would easily survive that fall. I'm curious if the door to the unit will stand the test of time, or whether or not the thin elastic band meant to secure an mp3 player will hold up and not fray. I plan to also use this as an all-weather picnic radio/mp3 player.

I'm a Milwaukee fanatic, and have dozens of their tools, including this and the larger, heavier jobsite radio. Neither will charge a battery, which seems like an oversight. The sound on this one is quite nice, and is made to store an mp3 player safely out of the dust zone. Super light weight, I really like it, although it doesn't have the sonorous sound myJVC RVNB20B Kaboom MP3 CD Boombox has, so bear in mind this won't blare over your chop saw, but does have a rugged, handy, a pretty-darn-good sound quality.
I use this in rugged environments, and then when I'm ready for finish work I haul in the JVC!
The larger jobsite radio is nice, too, and uses different voltage batteries, which is nice, and the batteries last a long time. This one drains the battery quite fast, and especially so using an mp3 player.
