   I’ve had a Makita jobsite radio since shortly after the LXT battery standard was introduced. I needed something else for a new job; building SpaceX’s Starship. All the radios and speakers on site were “appropriated” by other departments, and tracking them was impossible due to common tool brands across the site. I never once saw a Makita tool, though, and having my own, decided to get this speaker. It hasn’t got a radio, which is GREAT, because there’s F all radio stations worth listening to anymore. What it has got is USB power, a line-in, ability to run AC, LXT, or CXT, and a generous “pocket” for holding your listening device. It’s easy to toss in the corner of a lift, or clip to a harness as you clamber around the rocket. It isn’t so large you’re kicking into it while trying to work, and its CG is low enough the chances of it getting knocked off of an elevated work platform are nil. Use is dead simple, with no manual being required for pairing and playing. I did consult the manual to explore equalizer modes and multi-unit pairing, which I don’t use. The sound is just absolutely perfectly balanced, without excessive boominess, clipping, or treble raspiness.What could be improved? The ports are all highly fragile if you use them. They stick off the side of the unit. If you’re using something that’s charging, or using the 3.5mm port, you’re probably gonna have it in the “pocket”. Stick the AC power port there, too. Make it so in use, there’s nothing sticking out that can get kicked off. Then it would be perfect.

   The old radio design achieved stereo separation by mounting the drivers on the sides. That worked okay if you’re working in an imaging sweet spot otherwise sounds mono. The max volume on the XRM’s is about 1/4 louder and less distorted.Where the XRM’s really shine is buying two for full stereo. The frequency response and sound articulation seems better when the drivers aren’t trying to play both channels at once. The bass is pretty good but has a pronounced peak around 100-200hz. Probably the resonance frequency for the sub/passive resonator combo. Loud enough to use them as monitors for practice on my acoustic drums. Overall pretty stoked on the sound quality, convenience, and volume for their size. Completely blows away all of my co-workers job radios from the other brands.

   Good volume, sound, run time.What is disappointing is the phone storage space is limited so a phone case with a clip won’t fit and doesn’t have a charge port inside.All ports are on the side of the speaker and are covered by rubber flaps.

   I an a Makita fan boy but also an audio snob and am pretty hard to please when it comes to shop audio and this unit is a fail.I typically wear earbuds or over-ear headphones all day but sometimes when constantly swapping respirators for welding helmets a speaker works best. I have a Logitech computer speaker with 8″ sub I keep on a small cart that runs off a deep cycle battery and small inverter and that thing blows this speaker out of the water. I also have a tiny UE Boom I use in jobsites from about 6 years ago that is so thrashed I thought I’d just replace it with this XRM11 but it barely produces more volume and almost no bass! If your not just listening to podcasts you would be better served using a JBL Charge 3 or 4 for the sane price with MUCH better sound.

   The sound quality is great. You can crack this up in your garage and the neighbors will hear it down the street. It doesn’t have earth shaking bass but if you want clear music that can get pretty loud if desired, this is your jam. The battery compartment has a slot for your phone. Pretty handy to keep it out of dust, etc. This speaker is a bit pricy but with all things, you get what you pay for. If you already have Makita batteries, this is a good deal. If not, I’d find another option as the battery is pricy…

   this speaker can accept both 12 and 18v makita batteries, I’m using the 18V and to fully appreciate this speaker I had to use it outside linked to at least one more unit. Its very durable for Jobsite use, The diff modes are good, all in all sounds good at higher levels
