In and of itself, a really great radio ... and the sound is great. BUT .... the AUX ports are a joke they are a bit tiring after a few months. Both are loose and can no longer be used as the solder joints are apparently demolished. These deficiencies disappoint me extremst Makita because it is better used. If the device no longer buy and only someone recommend the only radio wants to hear it. If it should be connected to an MP3 player but, I advise against a purchase. Did the device also only just under 26 months in use and only on Fridays. So no use in the field of craftsmen for daily use.
