First of the all, the whole package did not come as retail package. it is fine by me because i did not have to rip anything open. lol. the radio is light weight and easy to carry around. sound was mediocre. i think my cheap milwaukee radio (2590-20) sounds better. but for a single speaker, it does pretty good job. sound is still clear even at loudest volume. it comes with a short 3.5mm male/male cable to connect aux port. honestly, the cable is too short. for a radio that does not have compartment to store a phone, that cable is useless. the bluetooth connection is good. i played my music from youtube no problem. i did try the ridgid radio app briefly. it functions well. it gives me control of the radio while on bluetooth. it did crash once when i tried the announcement function in the app. but that function is useless. tried a few times and it doesnt work. i agreed with other review about the app. why does it need my location while connecting it? it doesnt make sense to me. charging port is slow. it can keep up with the music playing and bluetooth function but it is not fast enough. overall it is a good jobsite radio but there are some cons i want to see ridgid will implement for the next radio. – wish it comes with a power cable.- faster charging port.- an adapter or pocket that can attach to the battery for phone storage. – a handle to hang the radio.

Have had this radio for a couple of years and love it. The Bluetooth works great, it is compact, and has survived a couple of drops off of my bench. Only complaint is that the AM and FM reception for all but very nearby stations isn’t that great, even outdoors, but I’ve found that’s typical of so many radios today.

My son loves it. Smaller profile than the boombox makes it easier to transport. Nice sound too.

The feature that I liked the most is the blue tooth, I really like the remote access of the radio from my phone.

Perfect for my needs –small and not bulky to carry around! Good sound and I like the fact that it runs on Ridgid batteries like my other tools.

Very happy with the sound that comes out of this little speaker. Am/fm/bluetooth and audio in. Digital tuning works well. Nice for the job site or poolside.

It’s sounds very good, can’t get stations an hour away from my home. Wish it could be powered by 120 volts also, besides that I like it.

Amazing speaker only downfall is the Bluetooth is super quite. Took it camping and it rocked the camp. Perfect for the job site and good reception. Can’t beat that for only 60 bucks
