DEWALT 20V MAX Bluetooth Speaker, 100 ft Range, Durable for Jobsites, Phone Holder Included, Lasts 8-10 Hours with Single Charge (DCR010)

Best Jobsite Speaker!!
Overall, this is a great speaker. I’ve been using it daily on my job site and in my construction office. Below are my pro’s and con’s.Pro’s- Impressive sound quality. For how small this thing is, it sounds great.- Very portable. Small but not too small. I’ve included a photo next to the DCD805 for size comparison.- Lightweight (obviously contingent on which battery is mounted)- Plenty of power options. You can power this thing with either the included power cable, a 12v battery or a 20v battery.- Great battery life. I’ll go about 6-8 hours on 1 single 1.7ah Power Stack battery and can stretch that to a 3-5 days on a 5ah power stack battery. God only knows how long it’ll last on a 15ah FlexVolt!- Very durable and rugged. There is no question to the build quality, it is top notch. Everything feels like it can take a serious hit without causing catastrophic damage.- Phone holder. You can stick your phone in the top of the grab handle and it rests there pretty securely. Even fits my 14 Pro Max with a rugged case on it.- Better than advertised range. DeWALT claims 100ft max bluetooth range but I’ve made it to 165ft before the music started to cut out, and that’s with trucks, generators and general construction tools in the way. Unbelievable!- AUX input & USB. You can charge your phone off the speaker while it’s in the stand if you plug it in with USB cable, so that’s super nice.Con’s- Slightly lacking in the bass department. This is such a small con and I can’t stress that enough, more nit-picky than anything. But I wish there was a bigger woofer in this thing to give my music a little more oomph. Obviously you can’t compare this to a Sonos Move or anything. There is bass, but some music can sound a little more treble-y when I’m used to deeper bass on those songs.- USB over USB-C. Again, nit-picky, but I wish there was USB-C on this speaker. Maybe even have USB + USB-C to allow for more options. Everything I have is USB-C, so that would’ve been nice to see.The pro’s heavily outweigh the cons here and it’s no competition that this is by far one of the best job site speakers on the market that can for sure take a beating. 10/10 would recommend!

I Feel Like I Finally Beat the Bluetooth Speaker Game
I was getting really tired of my love/hate relationship with bluetooth speakers. First of all, they all look the same, which is UGLY. Is it just me or are those black tube designs just the ugliest thing ever?! I also don’t give a hoot about colored ‘party lights’ that only serve to kill my battery. I’m not having a party and it isn’t 1986 anymore, sadly. I just wanted a decent speaker to listen to podcasts while I clean the house or work in the yard, something loud enough to hear when I move around to other rooms or areas. It seemed like a simple ask, and yet all I could find was cheap junk with terrible sound or overpriced decent sound that was still ugly.I ended up getting creative with my search terms, and somehow discovered a ‘jobsite speaker’ by another brand. This gave me the lightbulb moment: “Does DeWalt make a bluetooth speaker??” and the answer is YES. I spent more on this than I would have on any other bluetooth speaker for sure, but I can justify it. For one thing, everything I’ve ever used by DeWalt has been high quality and never disappoints. Secondly, since it’s DeWalt I knew it would be durable and rugged, which makes me feel less worried about the price, because I know it will hold up. And finally, it uses my DeWalt 20V Max batteries! So now I don’t need to worry about investing in a speaker with limited battery life, because I use my own DeWalt battery.Things I Like:1. Uses my existing DeWalt batteries, which I can switch out. So now when the battery dies, I don’t need to go charge it, I simply swap out the battery. I LOVE THIS.2. DeWalt quality housing. It’s rugged. The black ends are rubberized. I mostly use it in the house, but now that the weather is getting better I can work in the yard with it, take it camping, etc. I’ve even taken it with me in my truck because I prefer how it connects to my phone’s bluetooth over my truck’s built-in system.3. Speaking of Bluetooth, the connection is FAST. I honestly never really paid attention to how fast (or not) a device connects until I got this. It connects almost instantly.4. Front speaker screen/grill is metal. I don’t need to worry about poking a hole in it, ripping it or dust, dirt or debris clinging to it.5. Easy buttons. Power, volume, forward & back and bluetooth connect are all right there and easy to use. Covered in waterproof rubber too, no spaces for water or debris to get caught. The audio ports are also covered with a rubber flap for moisture protection.6. It has an 3.5mm jack for an audio cable. This isn’t on all bluetooth speakers, annoyingly, and it’s a valuable feature to me. I like that I can connect my Sony voice recorder to it with an audio cable and listen to recordings from meetings on a larger speaker. The voice recorder doesn’t have bluetooth, so before this I had to transfer the files to a device that did.7. It’s also a power bank! It has a traditional USB port, so I can charge my phone or other USB device, making this great for travel, power outages, camping, etc.8. It has a space in the handle which can hold your phone, which is handy if you’re charging your phone or if you’re playing music from it.9. It has two mounting holes as well as a hole in the handle, so this can be mounted or hung in a variety of ways.10. It’s loud! I mostly play podcasts and voices are harder to make out at a distance. I can play this in one room of my house and walk around pretty much anywhere in my house and hear it for the most part.11. The bluetooth range is crazy! I tested this on the first day I got it and left my phone playing inside my house, walked outside, down my long driveway and into the woods before it started cutting out. I’d say it was a good 150+ feet. Best range by far of all the bluetooth speakers & headphones I’ve used over the years.12. It has a removable power cord! You don’t need to use the battery, you can also simply plug it into the wall with the included power cord. This is great if you just want to keep it in one place all the time or if you don’t have any free batteries.Downsides:1. There’s nothing really that I “dislike”, but a couple of caveats. It is heavy. I easily carry it around the house but it’s definitely on the heavier side, just something to consider. I’d still take ‘heavy & durable’ over ‘light & garbage’ any day.2. The sound seems a little “boxed in”. It’s not bad, it’s not muffled exactly, it’s hard to describe. It could be that the metal grill might be hindering the sound slightly. I’ve considered unscrewing it to expose the speakers to see if the sound is better but I haven’t bothered because it’s not that big of a deal. It’s not that the sound is bad, I just feel like the style of the metal plate with holes in it (as opposed to fabric mesh) might be closing in the sound a bit. But it looks like you can easily unscrew it and remove it, so that’s something you can try if you feel the need.3. There’s no radio. I see this complaint in other reviews and it’s fair enough, especially given the price. I personally don’t care, I just play the radio via my phone through the speaker, but they do make a larger version with a radio if you really gotta have a radio.4. My only real complaint is that there’s nowhere to keep the power cord. I’ve already misplaced it several times. You cannot leave it attached to the unit because it plug in to the same spot as the battery. I tried wrapping it around the handle but I carry this around a lot and that was annoying. A little cord clip/holder would be perfect.NOTE: Like most DeWalt tools, you do NOT get the battery with this purchase, just an FYI.

Nice quality sound
I love this little speaker I purchased it thinking of being able to listen to music while working but this speaker not only is rugged but looks and sounds amazing super loud and small enough to go with me anywhere it also has a stand on the handle for you’re phone when you are working which is awesome and ports to charge your phone and to top it off I can use either my 12v or 20v batteries with it

Purchased as a gift for my dad
He uses it daily and loves it so much! The sound quality is great! You can plug it in or uses a battery. Charging speed depends on your battery and charger. Good price. Used mostly outside and works great!

A qualidade do som é razoável. O fato de usar as mesmas baterias das ferramentas dá uma autonomia muito boa. Acompanha um cabo para ligar em tomadas de 110 V. Pelo preço poderia ser um pouco mais potente, mas pra quem gosta de Dewalt é um bom negócio.

Es más de lo que esperaba. Suena muy bien incluso subiendole a tope no se distorsiona. Claro está que no es de alta fidelidad pero cumple

The speaker sounds good for it size and build quality is great. But while sync with a video playing I have experienced audio out of sync with many different devices working with this Bluetooth speaker.
