However, job sites are noisy and hazardous, so the typical Bluetooth speakers you might use at home won’t cut it.ĭeWalt is a top power tools manufacturer and makes Bluetooth speakers designed for job-site environments. If you’re a manual laborer at a job site, listening to music as you work is practically a necessity. That’s all.Which DeWalt Bluetooth speakers are best? I know the other brands also have a variety of models, I just don’t remember seeing so many for the same systems being released since those companies’ platform debuted. I rarely notice so many new releases of radios from the rest of the major brands, hence why I was surprised by this. From the first model they released, to this new one in the article… I don’t know if some are discontinued or replaced, thus getting an updated/sleeker version, or not.Īnd, I’m talking DeWALT specifically. Also the dedicated Bluetooth Speaker, even though it’s not quite the same. The TSTAK and ToughSystem radios are very different, but I count them both as a Radio that has been released. I’m not referring to the same model being replaced, just different varieties of specifically Radios of some sort. I don’t follow the Radios myself, so it’s just my perception (and confusion) to see yet another model being reported for release.įrom the start of the 20V Max Line until now, I’m randomly guessing approximately 9-12 models have been released. I’m counting previous models that I believe are still on the market in the 20V Line, not new releases only. Like a kind of… Timeline of Progression? Maybe it lines up with Bluetooth Standards changing, or the release of specific ToughSystem/TSTAK system changes? They also have JUST a Bluetooth Speaker, which I don’t know if it qualifies as a full Radio, but would be interesting to see it lined up next to the other available models. This new one, for example, I think it overlaps with its sibling with the charger, because one is a Charger/Radio and the other is just a Radio. I WOULD love to see a comparisson chart somewhere about if/when DeWALT specifically discontinued one model in the 20V Max line, and replaced it with the next model, and where they overlap. Seeking some clarity about the average lifespan and… whatever the tool industry calls “The amount of time they offer an item on the shelves.”… What most businesses would call Market Availability, I believe. My typing speed just makes it easy to say a lot of words, in a short amount of time. Seems like I’m angry or hyperactive, but I just type fast. I’m counting past models as still being actively sold, not just new ones, and not just the current quarter, year, or sales cycle. No no… I intentionally exaggerated actually… I’m calm, it’s just… I’m confused. A smaller and lighter Bluetooth radio sounds good to me, and I can live without the built-in charging feature, something I never use except in product testing. Personally, I felt that the DCR025 was huge. I wouldn’t think the sound quality could change much between models, but you never know. Sound-wise, the DCR025 is described as having 20W per channel woofers, tweeters, and air ports, but I can’t tell you how this compares to the DCR028’s 3.5″ woofers and 1″ tweeters. Additionally, the DCR025 had 2 AC outlets, but it doesn’t look like this feature made it into the DCR028. It doesn’t look like the new model has a bottle opener, a feature the DCR025 had on its left side.Ĭompared to the DCR025 the new Dewalt DCR028 Bluetooth radio has smaller footprint, is lighter, costs less, is compatible with 12V and 20V Max batteries, and does not have a built-in charger. Update: I missed it – the press sheet does confirm that each of the new products (this radio and a new LED light) are compatible with FlexVolt batteries. It’s worth noting that it looks like the newest higher capacity and wider Dewalt 20V Max batteries should be able to fit without issue as well. There’s no specific mention as to whether the new radio will also be compatible with FlexVolt batteries, but seeing as how the battery connection is open and at the rear of the radio, I see no reason why it wouldn’t be. The new radio can be powered by 12V Max, 20V Max, or FlexVolt batteries, and also comes with an AC power cord. Antenna slot in the top handle for safe storage.Works with Dewalt 12V or 20V Max batteries.Not only is the new Dewalt DCR028 radio smaller, its 45% lighter too (without battery). The absence of the charger is at least partially responsible for the smaller size of the new Dewalt Bluetooth music player, and it also costs less too. There’s no indication that this model is replacing any other Dewalt jobsite radios, and so you can still buy their Bleutooth charger radio if that’s what you want. This is a new Bluetooth radio, but it’s not a charger.
