MickDug Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm looking for a radio with DAB and good sound quality and a USB option and I'm inbetween these two: DeWalt DCR017 http://www.twwholesale.co.uk/product.php/section/6121/sn/DeWalt-DCR017-Radio-4Ah Or Bosch GML20 Pro http://www.bosch-professional.com/gb/en/gml-20-24711-ocs-p/ Although the Bosch is cheaper at £181 the Dewalt comes with a 4ah battery at £215. Which one's better sound quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Denmark Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Go for the Dewalt if you what DAB , the Bosch dont got DAB .. I think they have a great sound both.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I have the dewalt dcr017 and I really like it but u might wanna consider other options if u ever want to have Bluetooth capabilities cus I don't think either of these have though u could just buy an Bluetooth adapter, I know dewalt just came out with one but I wish my radio would already had it I wouldn't have to spend the extra money for it and worry about always haveing the adapter charged. I've heard a lot of goods things about the milwaukee radio that came out a couple monthes ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Go Bosch. I've got it. It is unbelievable and that freakin' subwoofer on the bottom, gives a whole new meaning to Shook Me All Night Long! If you have any Bosch 18v's it charges 'em, it has awesome reception and it is rock solid. Check out the TiA review and it sells itself. It is awesome. It's heavy as heck but it is a really great sound system that is essentially bombproof ~ Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Oh, and I don't have any cordless Bosch tools. I have used the M18 jobsite (don't get the old one, the new one is supposed to be awesome) and the Makita's BJR (stinks - the older white one anyways). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 The new Bluetooth Milwaukee is pretty bad ass It also chargers batteries now like the other brands radios do now. I do love the bluetooth feature radio sucks for the most part. We used to have a good alt rock station around here, but either I'm getting old or the music is getting crappier most of the stuff the play is ok but a lot of it just sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I will say I am starting to like the Arctic Monkeys and the Black Keys are pretty sweet but....ACDC, Led Zep, Creed, STP, Aerosmith, Boston, REO, Journey....man I miss the good stuff. Oh...and for everyone out there....I stand by this and always will....Van Halen kicked some serious A$s when Sammy Hagar was doing the job.

Javier Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I was going to suggest the Bosch since everyone raves about it and the subwoofer makes it a real boom box. I didn't know what dab is since I'm here in the States and I looked it up and I have to give kudos to dewalt for making a radio that picks up digital broadcasts. I think that would be a killer feature here in the States if a Jobsite radio picked up HD radio (no not home depot radio ) but I guess hd radio isn't that big here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
