PORTER-CABLE Bluetooth Speaker & Radio (PCC771B)

Music is nicely balanced. It's fallen off shelves or edges where they were without any damage. It doesn't eat up the battery time. Works great

This is the second one I’ve purchase because my original was stolen. It’s a great radio for when I’m working construction. Signal is good and the Bluetooth worked good. This isn’t a Bose speaker, but for the price, it sounds better then what I expected.

I've been searching hard for a BT device that also functions well as an FM radio and this thing is great. I can rock to my play lists, using BT, and switch of to FM to listen to the game. I also bought a 20v MAX 4.0ah battery pack for it and it can go all day off a fully charge battery. Great sound from it and it's plenty loud for me. Only downside is that the unit won't charge the battery pack when it"s plugged in, you have to use a separate Porter-Cable charger. Oh, for those people who are having problems with it keeping the time, RTM. It uses a separate watch battery to maintain its settings, including the radio presets.

Don’t throw away your older “dead” porter cable batteries!!! I was able to use my old batteries that wouldn’t power the tools anymore for this radio, and still get a day or so of radio use out of them.Biggest issue:Not a huge problem, but I wish I could see the buttons at night.. unfortunately the buttons are not illuminated.Get your tape measure out, the stereo was a tad smaller than I thought it would be, but it’s not s major issue at all.

It comes with an AC adapter and, for those who use Porter Cable cordless tools, it can take power from Porter Cable 20V tool batteries. But enough of this, you can get all this from the specs. What about the important stuff like how does it sound?I have to say that I don't think you can find better sound at this size. Heck, I don't think you can find better sound at an even larger size. This little guy sounds terrific! (Note that this is in comparison to the armored radios made by other tool companies.) The radio sounds great, your iPod or iPhone (or any other bluetooth device) sounds great. You can also just plug it in to your MP3 player using the supplied cord but, as with any player, it doesn't sound nearly as good as using the built-in Bluetooth. The only other toolmaker radio I could find was DeWalt, and that's done using a $35 Bluetooth dongle. And that's the point! It has Bluetooth built right in! As Dr. Sheldon Cooper himself once said, "Everything's better with Bluetooth!"Seriously, paired Bluetooth sounds much better than plugging a cord into the headphone connector. (But this radio has that capability if you need it.) That and the conveniently small size make this a winner. The one I got for my son for Christmas gets used all the time and it's been terrific.

Very great! Sound quality very loud for being such a little guy! Very cool and great surprise to my hubby. He loves it for his work site and so do his co-workers they all get to jam while working and can hear the music over the power tools! Comes with an ability to plug in or use Porter-Cable battery. He loves the fact that he can use his one of his Porter-Cable batteries to operate it while the work site has no power ! Great addition to his expanding Porter-Cable set :)

Radio is actually fairly small. Bass is slightly distorted even when EQ is set flat. But realisticly, this is a jobsite radio not an audiophile system. I bought it to put in my garage when working on cars, or wood working. Five stars because of value, size, and use of other PC batteries. I wasn't hoping for outstanding audio so this fit the bill for me.

I have to say for $60 this was a steal, probably the best radio with all these features that anyone could ask for from an outside work radio. It is a lot smaller than you would think from the pictures, but that has nothing to do with the sound coming from this radio. I use the iPhone and I can be about 20 feet away from the radio and stream music to the unit. Huge upgrade from Ridgid. Great buy for me! Love it. No complaints.
