Cycling Speakers

[GadgetJim]

What bicycle speakers would you recommend ? I want something loud enough that I can hear my music while cycling. Also, should be easy to attach and detach quickly to prevent theft, and should hold up in the rain, and have good battery life. I would like to have a built-in FM Radio and SD Card Reader, but not absolutely necessary.

I use this slim speaker in my back jersey pocket. At 5W it's loud enough for my rock n roll but still allows me to hear the road. I use its TF slot so not to use my phone BT. No FM radio. The big advantage of this speaker is I do not have any handlebar entanglements. If you ride with a rear rack, of course you can add just about any speaker.

I use a Sena helmet with built in speakers:

It connects to your smartphone via bluetooth for listening to music, FM radio, making calls or conversing with others using Sena helmets.

The speakers are close to your ears so wind & road noise aren't a problem. There is no ear obstruction so you can hear sounds around you like traffic, or signals from other bikers.

It isn't a cheap solution but it works perfectly for me.

Clearon Speaker on Ebay $40

Checks all your boxes plus a wired remote with horn. Very good sound and battery life. Takes micro SD card, has FM radio, quick to unmount and mount back up.
