Don't expect too much but this isn't a bag

I'm not exactly sure what people expect from something of this size and price but it worked well enough for me. I wish the volume had more than two settings, but that's really my only complaint. Loud enough for everyone in the noisiest traffic. Battery Life: The max time I tested is about 3 hours and it worked without fading. And Scosche has always impressed me with their warranty and customer service on other products, so I felt like I could buy without fear ;)

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Frequency

Bought 2 of these. The second one didn't last

My first SCOSCHE lasted almost 2 years and was shabby but something has come loose inside (as I probably dropped it) and it's no longer connected so I bought it on second less than 1 year ago. This time I was very careful with the speaker and ALWAYS made sure there was a rubber band around it and I didn't drop it. This morning while driving I kept hearing something rattling near my steering wheel and sure enough it was the speaker, something big inside got disconnected and it wasn'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Easy to repair

Waste of money on portable speakers and docking stations

I think you're paying for this so I'm ashamed. The sound quality of this speaker is NO bass. and you'll be lucky if you get a full 2 hours of battery life. Do yourself a favor and spend some extra money to get a quality Bluetooth speaker for your bike. One good thing I can say about it is that it's solid and doesn't budge when hitting small bumps. It's not much bigger than a 5-hour energy bottle (it's a little sturdy, it's a little bigger), and because it's so small and light, it won't budge if

Pros
  • Fair price
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

Less than 1 year old and the speaker wheezes and ruins the sound

I've had a fair amount of use from this speaker. The battery life is decent and it charges quickly. It connects easily with Bluetooth and I love that you can easily take it out of the mount. I have a road bike and have had this speaker for just under a year. My biggest problem is that now part of the speaker is rattling inside. As a result, it completely distorts the sound while driving, and it seems like something is rattling/rattling inside. So now I'm looking for a new one, I think one thatโ€ฆ

  • Pleasant to use

Good buy for the price.

I like the volume for such a small device. In fact, my daughter, who rode my bike with me, told me to turn the volume down because we might disturb another cyclist. However, the bass is rather weak. It would be great if he was stronger. It's very light and easily attaches to my steering wheel and can change the direction of the sound just by turning the device in any direction. Battery life is said to only last 5-5.5 hours, which is good enough for 1-2 hours of driving but not good for a fullโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Annoying

No longer works with portable bluetooth speakers

Worked great for about 10 rides then stopped working in the middle of a ride. There are also some tricky moments during the first rides. Trouble connecting via bluetooth - said it was connected but the blue indicator kept flashing. Even when I turned it off, the lights kept flashing. I've tried "forgetting" the device in my Bluetooth list and then re-adding it multiple times. On and off. It seems to be connected to the phone but now there is no sound. It started playing spontaneously once after

Pros
  • Full set
Cons
  • Unsafe

But good for the price.

Good price and design. Just not very loud. I mean when the car is moving you can't hear it. I have an iPhone 7 plus FYI. Holds on to bumps. Vaporizes very quickly. It's like background music. When you talk to someone. You can't hear it. But for some. That would be wonderful. i am middle aged I won't yell at the neighbors. I could use pop music. Something like. I'm driving through town. But my film evaluates soft passages to get it. But it's common, I know. It's only when it's full before theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Exchange possible

Not waterproof. Great sound while running. Cannot fully charge.

I'll update this review November 28, 2017: The first few weeks have been very comfortable. Volume was good and connection was fine as long as the speaker and device weren't far apart. However, when I got caught in the summer rain on my bike, I stopped and stuffed it and my iPhone in a pocket under the seat. In that short time, the speaker is quiet. The iPhone was/is fine. Within a week I was able to get him to reconnect to support from online chat. I haven't been able to charge it fully sinceโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • There are cons
