Looking into purchasing a couple cordless bare Makita tools to make use of their free battery rebate they have going. In need of a decent work radio and thinking about the cordless drywall screw gun. Wondered if anyone had any opinions on sound quality and where it degrades on the black Makita radio, I think the model is the LXRM03B.
I'm torn between that and the deluxe Bosch. Sort of because I really like good quality radio and mp3 sound, but I have no cordless Bosch stuff so the charger is wasted and I nearly never need the extra outlets. I don't mind the Makita not having a charger- I think I have 3 Makita charging bays but the holdback is basically the sound. I heard at higher levels it distorts and the bass is a little lackluster. I don't alway work in open areas where the sound can be cranked up but the option for certain songs generally is nice.
Anyone have any opinions on the sound quality of the Mak? (I have done searches but most results either said- it sounds okay- or they were complaints and discussions getting into why they don't have charger functions.. Which sucks yes- but I don't need a charger).
