Hey everyone! I'm in the market for a Bluetooth speaker to use on job sites since listening to my phone's speakers just isn't cutting it anymore. I primarily use M12 tools, so I'm considering the Milwaukee packout speaker or job site options. However, I'm also open to other durable speakers that aren't too bulky. My birthday's coming up, and my wife asked me which one I'd prefer, so I want to make an informed choice. What are your thoughts on Milwaukee, JBL, and Anker speakers?

I've tried a few options, and personally, I love my JBL Charge 5. It has great sound quality, decent battery life, and can even charge devices as a power bank. The Milwaukee speakers are rugged and loud, but I find the JBL sounds better overall, especially if you need to impress anyone with the audio quality.
I've got some Anker speakers that are great for work sites. They deliver good sound at mid volumes, are super affordable, and have long battery life. I also bought a JBL Xtreme 3 for larger areas – it really cranks up the volume and has impressive battery life too. If you're worried about size, I'd suggest looking at the smaller Anker models — just make sure they suit your job site needs!
If you're using Milwaukee tools, it makes sense to stick with their speakers since you can easily swap M12 batteries without the hassle of charging something else. Plus, their job site speakers are built tough for the work environment. Just keep in mind that only one of the brands you mentioned is primarily focused on audio quality, so think about how important sound clarity is for you.
Yeah, having a dedicated battery source is definitely a game changer!
I hear you about the JBL. I tried a couple of Milwaukee speakers, but the dustproof feature of the JBL is a nice perk!
