Revainrating 1 out of 5

Essential for safe cycling

It met all my expectations and after reading other reviews I found that it worked just the same , as others have found it. Seamless iPhone 6 integration with my UE Megabooms! I synced 2 UE Megabooms (one on my road bike, one on my wife) and I was able to play music from my iPhone 6 and use the device to change volume, track, play/pause. It goes to sleep after a few minutes, so it takes 2 tries for most presses, but that's a Bluetooth power-saving feature. What I like best is that you don't have to re-sync. Leave it on your bike and it will be ready to use in a matter of days without having to reconnect it. It got a little wet during my ride and continued to work perfectly. The included bracket is PERFECT for mounting in multiple positions on a road bike. It is very secure but can be removed very easily to change mounts. I've never worried about it falling off during my 44 mile ride this weekend (paved road bike trail. Mountain biking can be different. My ONLY issue is that it's very easy to accidentally hit pause when trying to Skipping songs or changing the volume.The buttons are a bit cramped and they are all linked together rather than individually cut out buttons.Small issue but worth mentioning.Also the price is a bit high for what it is.The security that this little guy offers, justifies the price.

Pros
  • MEDIA PLAY - volume control, pause/play, forward/backward media playback with one touch
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
