I just found this speaker in the water while I was fishing. It had 70% battery. Don't know how long it's been sitting in there but, awesome find!

It’s an old speaker. Love the design but Bose needs to update it with increased battery life, ubc c, and at least Bluetooth 5. Then I’ll buy one.

Speakers on bike serves as a warning for walkers to give you space. Earphones distract from safely riding bike if there is something that needs to be heard.

Thank you for this review.. I sure love this speaker.. on the bike I keep riding.... Peace

It's so much fun riding this with a bike. Changed the game completely. I go on a bike ride everyday but now it's even more excited. Love it!

Agreed! I used my first one of these for over five years of 7k km per year or more of cycling (often on unpaved roads and trails). I mount mine on the stem rather than on the handlebar as it is much more stable in position. After over five years of use the strap finally broke, so I bought my second one. Great product. -- I also use it for hands-free phone conversations. -- I use mine mostly for music while riding. I don't play it loud because I want to also be aware of my surroundings. Much better than cycling while using earbuds.

It's an absolutely gem of a speaker. I use it all the time. Used it today on a bike ride. Love it! Thanks for this comment.

Download motorcycle sounds and put it on your bike.. 😀

I think it depends on the phone you have but it should be fine to open the apps but I don't know about full controls of the apps once it's opened.

Thanks for your review! I'm treally wanting to pick these up, to use during my commute to work via bike. I want to be able to pick up calls during rides but understand wind might cause issues with my microphone. I do currently have a protective bike mounted-phone case so that wind is minimised, but worry that the microphone will transfer over to the (wind exposed) Bose speakers once a call starts. Is there a way to keep microphone with [phone] and keep audio with [Bose] for calls? Sorry if question is confusing.

Hi.Very good review.can i ask what mic you are using?It sounds realy good.

Absolutely. They even came out with more colors and I saw a recent ad of them showcasing the strap specifically. I guarantee they ran that ad because of my review. Nobody else emphasized it like I did.

How secure do you feel the strap is? I'm yet to find any info on how well it straps down although it looks secured to your bike well enough( thinking of buying two and linking them to my motorcycle handlebars ) at 60+ mph don't want them falling off

I secure mine on the handlebar stem rather than the handlebar itself. It means mounting it 90 degrees off, but that’s not a problem, and it’s much more stable. In over seven years I’ve never had mine shake loose or out of position. It’s even remained in place after a couple minor crashes. - Eventually the strap will break, and there’s no way to replace it that I’m aware of. But, after six years I bought another one.

I agree. I love mine. Lost it in a bag for awhile and recently rediscovered it. Ended up just grabbing a second because my MacBook speakers are blowing out and I love connecting this while watching a movie and having the speaker nearer to my head with the laptop propped up. Keep the other in my truck for the beach/work shop/bike rides etc. now you can find them used for around $70 def a great buy. Good review I enjoyed it.

There's so many great benefits to having a Bluetooth speaker. What you mentioned is even better, especially acting like it's surround sound. If you will! LOL Thanks for the comment because I do love my Bose speaker a ton.

Would you trust the strap for something like floating the River or on a boat?

@TechOutAdam

2 жыл бұрын

It definitely won't float by itself so if it detaches it's gone lol But I'd trust it on a boat before a tube or raft. How hard are you going to be hitting the water? Once I strap it to my bike it stays on and barely moves.

It'll only get better in time. I mean look at brands like Soundcore. They are doing amazing things with earbuds. JLab is doing amazing things all around. Competing with the best in podcast mics and headsets. The more expensive companies have 1 or 2 advantages that "justify" the price but the cheaper brands offer more features every time.
