$175 Canadian

People spend more than that... and those are US dollars...

The one you listed averages around $129US or $177/CAN...

It's Festool, a lot of guys will buy it just for that reason. My M12 speaker wasn't much less than that.

It's just me, I loath music when I'm working! Clearly, saves me a ton of money!

I think my TurtleBox was more than that, and it's really just a speaker

I’m the same. If someone turns on music, I start forgetting things like crazy and then have to write every measurement down.

I like music, but not when I'm at work really. If I'm working in the office I will use headphones but I can't have lyrics, ADD kicks in and I will.lose track of what I was doing

Promontory is a good type classical I will listen to estimating

I bought that Fstool when it came out.
Bluetooth was easy, but it wouldn't pick up stations for squat.
Yes, I listen to over the air radio.
Liquidated it for cheap on Craigslist.
M12 radio is waaaay better.
M18 for the shop.
Festool cordless can suck it.

Me too

I’m not a fan of music on the jobsite

Especially when someone decides they want to rock out like they are at a concert, I was working on a commercial job where some guys insisted on blasting the music so loud everybody had to yell at one another to communicate

Talk about a headache

I can listen to anything as long as it’s not npr. I screw up constantly either way, might as well be entertained while I fix them.

What's worse is everyone has to crank THEIR music up. So you end up listening to Rush, country, classical, acid rock, gospel, news, bubble gum, rap, hip-hop, goth, news, sports AND top 40.... all at the same time.

 

[VinylHanger]

I crank it when working. Everything from New Country, old country, prog rock, metal, 80's, folk, Americana, etc.

I'll even go country rap on occasion.

I have the Bosch, I rarely use it unless it's too quiet on an extended jobsite even then it's just background noise. I dislike radio stations so if I really want to listen it has be my own music.

I listen to NPR about an hour a day, to hear what the commies are thinking....

 

[530Foreman]

I can't work worth a damn without music or a podcast or something in the background. Just something to take up the ADHD part of my brain so it doesn't get distracted by some nonsense. I'm blown away by people that can work in silence, don't know how you do it.

I thought I was the only person who hated music on the jobsite. Always thought I was the outlier. I always make sure I sing along loudly and badly to whatever is playing just to amuse myself and annoy the subs.

bonus points when it's in Spanish.

As a former framing contractor, and being the only crew on the job site during the framing phase, sometimes I find it almost impossible not to have some kind of music going.

If I’m doing as-builts now or other site/design related work. No music. But the occasional framing gig that pops up, the bones require a musical injection.

 

[Robie]

No music on the jobsite and I don't think I've played the radio in the truck since Rush Limbaugh died.
If I'm doing something monotonous, I may play Pandora on the phone.

My old man listened to the radio on jobs ahem I was a kid, and I liked it. I was mostly digging holes or sanding or cleaning up. As a professional tradesman I never worked alone and have been in charge of the immediate people around me for 20 years. With the ADD going on a lyric can throw off a string of numbers multiple times in a row but mostly it was because I was concentrating on what u was doing with my hands while thinking 4 steps ahead to keep my crew busy and have no lag waiting on me. Most of the work I was peroanlly doing was layout, cutting on a chop saw or nailing walls, form work, etc... so always thinking. That's hard for me with music I like if I'm actively listening. If it's Mexican music or alternative probably not an issue. Texas outlaw country, rock, some alternative etc I can have more issues

In the truck it's on music loud about 40% of the time, podcasts on longer runs, but usually on the phone 7 - 6 if im in the truck. Easy listening outlaw country or old country on the way home, don't need to be ramped up at dinner with the family 😆

The real physcos are the dudes who lift weights with no music- if I ever forgot my headphones I didn't lift 😆
