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.
Even though it has a little watch battery inside to keep the clock set, it still loses time when you unplug it/remove the drill battery... Not a big deal for me, but it is pretty lame. The radio presets stay.

Sounds great, has some basic bass/treble EQ controls via the EQ and volume up/down buttons. Bass is really pretty good for a unit of this size, and it goes louder than I'll ever need it to. AM radio reception is a bonus, so I can listen to 680 for traffic and 590 for the baseball in the summer! The radio aerial is compact, only about 6 inches long and doesn't appear to extend. It's flexible and rubbery which is a good idea and should mean it survives better than a normal metal extendible one.
Radio tuning is nice and easy, the radio will scan if you hold the up/down button for a few seconds, or you can manually tune. tuning is to one decimal place, so reasonably fine at least in the city, I've had no issues getting pretty much perfect FM stereo reception on most major stations I've tried so far.
Bluetooth reception works fine, my phone found the speaker first time and paired right away so no hassles there. I haven't tested the limits of the range, but I'll always be pretty nearby the unit in the garage anyway and wouldn't expect much over 6-8 meters.
The unit is mostly well designed and well thought out - there are rubbery covers on the dc power jack and the aux-in jack - I say mostly, as there's no usb jack to trickle charge your phone and it can't charge a Porter tool battery, only drain one. The display is timed illuminated so the light goes off after a few seconds to save power.
Cons:
- doesn't charge a battery if you have one inserted and are running the unit off the mains which seems a bit daft
- the silly lack of a usb port on the radio - again, bit of a daft one so you can't charge your phone from the unit
- minor gripe - the display is hard to read at any kind of distance and the backlight goes off a bit quickly (both a pro and a con) I could understand the backlight going off on battery power, but mains again seems a bit daft.
- i kind of wish the plastic trim guard bar things had more gap around the radio so you could grab it more securely by them, especially top center so it would act as a handle - the gaps only big enough at the ends on the back side. Again, this doesn't matter too much for my usage but may be something others need.
Overall I'm really pleased with this radio, if your use for it means the small 'cons' don't bother you, it's a good quality little unit that sounds great and has plenty of volume. Great little shop radio, not quite perfect but then it's relatively reasonable price for shop/job site radio's.
