Just days after Ryobi announced it new 18V Bluetooth speaker PAD01B, they announce a smaller version known as the bluetooth compact speaker PAD02B or as Ryobi likes to call it, the 18V ONE+ Compact Speaker with Bluetooth Wireless Technology.

Much like the PAD01B Ryobi 18V bluetooth speaker, the bluetooth compact speaker does not have the ability to receive and play radio signals, so it’s just a speaker you can use to play tunes from your mobile device and thanks to bluetooth tech, you can do so wirelessly.
This compact bluetooth speaker appears to be a single speaker design making it much smaller than the PAD02 model and it’s also cheaper too at only $29.97 at the time of writing. It’s about the same footprint of a Ryobi 18V battery and just a little taller, making it pretty small and compact. On top you’ll find the power, play/pause, and volume up and down buttons. Ryobi says you can get up to 75 feet of wireless bluetooth signal range and up to 20 hours of runtime on a 2.0 ah battery, battery not included.
According to Ryobi, they say this will launch in December 2020.
- Enhanced electronics for a clear, full sound
- Up to 75’ Bluetooth® range
- Over 20 hrs. of runtime with a 2.0 Ah ONE+™ battery
- Compact and lightweight for optimal portability on the jobsite or at home
- Part of the RYOBI ONE+™ System of over 175 Cordless Tools
- 3-year manufacturer’s warranty

can this also be used as a wireless speaker phone? or just radio/music?
I just contacted Ryobi and they said this:
So it appears you cannot use as a speaker phone.
That is neat. Hopefully we get it in Australia. Great size for the mobile tool box.
Yes, very compact!
