Small meets awesome!

I wanted a small speaker that I could ride bike to gym pr store headphone-less and would not feel horrible if it was stolen. This is a great product. The sound is decent. Battery life is long and it does not stand out on the bike making it more likely to be stolen if I dont feel like removing it every time. It stays on securely and is easy to remove. Awesome product and highly recommend for the price. I even take it off at the beach to listen beachside.

Plenty loud!

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

It’s the perfect size for handlebar mounting. The volume level is plenty loud for background music and turn-by-turn route directions. Be sure your cellphone volume control is adjusted up otherwise the volume is a bit low. If you are riding in car traffic, it can be hard to hear.
Not sure how long it will last, nor how it will do in rain. I’ll post a follow up in a few months.

A good buy for the price.

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

I like the volume for such a small device. In fact my daughter who was biking with me told me to lower the volume for we may disturb other cyclist. However the bass is quite weak. It would have been great if only it’s stronger. It’s very light and easily attached to my handle bar, and can change the direction of the sound by simply turning the device to any directions. The battery life as stated is only 5-5.5 hrs which is enough for 1-2 hr ride but for an all day affair, not a good thing. I wish it has a longer battery life . Over all I am pleased with my purchase and recommend it to cyclist who are sick and tired of wearing earbuds while cycling which can also be dangerous.

I have had this tiny speaker for a few weeks. I attached it to the handlebar on my mtb. The battery lasts about four hours before I recharge it. The box says the battery lasts five hours. The tiny speaker is louder than I expected. It also works well when I FaceTime. I can hear them and they can hear me. Mos def worth the money.

Stopped working

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

Worked great for about 10 rides, then stopped working in the middle of ride. Also has some finicky moments in the first few rides. Difficulty connecting with the bluetooth- said it was connected but blue light kept flashing. Even when I turned it off, the lights kept flashing. Tried to "forget device" on my bluetooth list and then add it in again several times. Turned it on and off. Looks like it's connected on my phone, but now no sound comes out. One time it spontaneously started to play after riding about 15 minutes and leaving it on. But this time I can't get it to work at all. Wanted to love this because the sound is decent, and it's nice and small. But it's a waste of money because it no longer works. So disappointing!

Better than all the others, but it's a low bar.

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2017

Pros-
-It's just a speaker, not a speaker-phone, not a phone charger, not a headlight, not a cocktail shaker. This means it can do one thing well without a lot of features nobody wants on a bicycle.
-Very compact and light with decent quality sound.
-Quickly detaches from the bike while parked.
-Solid mount with the ability to point the speaker as needed.
-No deal-killer design flaws, which is more than I can say for all the other bicycle mount speakers out there.

Cons-
-You can't play the speaker while it's charging. In fact, it makes a screeching or loud clicking sound if you turn it on while the USB charger is plugged in. This is not a deal-killer, since the speaker is made to be used on the go, but it's a sign of poor electronic design and doesn't give me a lot of confidence that the unit will last.
-It's not waterproof at all. Wrap it in a plastic bag if you bike in the rain.
-The elastic strap that secures the speaker in its bicycle mount is not attached to anything. It should be retained on one end so it doesn't get lost when the unit is taken off the bike. The un-retained end should have a pull tab to make it easy to get a finger-purchase on the elastic band.
-There is no way to determine the state of charge of the device.

This little speaker puts out good sound for its size and price. Sometimes I'd like a little more volune, but there are also times I don't turn the volume to the max. It's size is very convienient, and it is easy to remove if u r leaving your bike somewhere u think the speaker might "walk of" .. lol.

I ordered 2 of these speakers for a long bike trip.
When I got them, the sound was good and with two settings, I could go to loud or mild with a switch. However, I can only give two stars because one of the speakers died after single use, couldn’t charge it or get it to work... and the other one only lasts about 20-25 minutes before it dies, and that is after charging all night.

Nice sound, very good quality/price for this lightweight speaker

Reviewed in Canada on June 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

I am very satisfied for this small speaker; the sound is nice for its size but above all, its weight is very light! Concerning the battery life: in Bluetooth mode, you can listen for about 3 hours (maximum volume adjustment) while 4-5 hours if you have a jack cable. However, it would be great to have the choice regarding the diameter of the mount, as it cannot fit anywhere on your handlebar. Luckily, I could put it on my handlebar (3.1 mm in diameter) and doesn’t slip (strongly attached). Concerning the water resistant, seems waterproof but I didn’t really went cycling in the rain.

Eigentlich perfekt für's Fahrrad geeignet aber unzumutbare Laufzeit

Reviewed in Germany on April 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

Habe den Lautsprecher einige Zeit getestet und war zunächst begeistert. Klein, handlich, einfach zu befestigen, schöne Optik, gute Halterung, Bluetooth problemlos mit iPhone verbunden. Aber schon beim 2. Einsatz war der Akku innerhalb kürzester Zeit leer. Mehr als 1 Stunde Laufzeit war in Stufe 2 dann nicht mehr drin, obwohl die Lautstärke wirklich moderat eingestellt war (50% auf dem iPhone). Und viel schlimmer ist die Tatsache, dass der Akku sich innerhalb weniger Stunden auch dann vollständig entlädt, wenn der Lautsprecher komplett AUS ist. Das geht nun überhaupt nicht. So ist es unmöglich, den Akku z. B. abends aufzuladen und morgens dann eine Tour zu machen. Das Ding muss bis kurz vor Anfang der Tour immer am Strom hängen, sonst verkürzt sich die Laufzeit schon vor dem ersten Einschalten enorm. Für mich war das ein KO-Kriterium und habe das Teil so leider zurückgeben müssen.
