Review on GoldenHawk Waterproof Bluetooth Motorcycle Handlebar Motorcycle & Powersports by Matt Abba

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product for the money

For the $50 I paid for it, it was totally worth it. I hear it well enough at highway speeds, but not perfectly. Bluetooth pairing works great, analyzing automatically and quickly every time, with one exception - the first time. I had to go through this 2 or 3 times before it happened. The install took me a bit of fiddling, it's a "universal" install so that's to be expected. I have thicker bars so I had to "encourage" them to fit acceptably. I installed it behind the Krator fairing which really improves the sound quality. My short straight pipes? Not as much. If your bike has longer tubes (with some sort of baffle) and a windshield, you shouldn't have any hearing problems. My GPS directions generally had lower audio quality, but that's partly due to background noise and my phone. I even got a chance to test the device's "waterproof" claims during its first flight. I was exposed to heavy rain for about 30 minutes and it held up well. It has rained a lot since then and 2 months later it is still working. There are other products that can work better for a little more money; for example, speakers that might suit you better. But if you're looking for this type of device, the only other product I've seen is the Kuryakyn Road Thunder. This device costs about $400; I was told it works great but also costs $400. In general, this device meets the stated requirements as a suitable Bluetooth device for a motorcycle. Especially for the price range.
