Review on 🚲 Avantree Cyclone Portable Bluetooth 5.0 Bike Speaker with Bicycle Mount & SD Card Slot, 10W Powerful Bass & NFC Pairing, Splash Proof, Shockproof & Dustproof for Outdoor Riding by Bryan Cavalcante

I really like the Avantree brand in general. I have Audition Pro, Jogger Plus, Clipper Pro and now Cyclone. I bought a cyclone to use around the house - when I get ready in the morning, when I cook, etc. Car. Very easy to use, usually at close range. The quality of materials and design is excellent. It feels good in the hand, looks good and feels solid. The buttons offer a decent user interface. The battery life is decent, the volume could be higher, but it is sufficient. The issues I'm having are related to the Bluetooth functionality. The range is meager. Of all my other Avantree products, I have the best range - this one tends to cut off at around 10 feet. It does very poorly with obstacles - I can clip it to the belt loop on one hip and slip the phone into my pocket on the other side and it starts to turn off. If they are on opposite sides of the room, walking between the Cyclone and my phone could cause it to turn off. A product designed for outdoor/sports use really should do better, especially when all of the other brands' products and competing brands' products seem to work just fine. It's also not good at handling multiple devices. I haven't tried the Jogger Plus or Clipper, but the Audition Pro allows for two simultaneous Bluetooth connections and handles them fairly well - and these are one set of headphones for which the option to use simultaneous connections is (as far as I can tell). very limited. The Cyclone is a sports and outdoor device and is much more likely to have multiple devices connected to it, but it won't connect to more than one device at a time and doesn't handle it well. The notification tone (with voice notifications disabled) on the Zyklon is also an annoying dial tone/busy tone and not the beep emitted by other devices of this brand. I don't feel comfortable returning the device. Since I've used it and it more or less works, but if I could go back I'd buy another bluetooth speaker.
