JBL Wind 3 FM Bluetooth Handlebar Speaker, Black

Small enough to not notice it on your handlebar while your riding. But puts off a big sound. Also you can unclip it from the handlebar mount and take it walking. I’ll be honest never use the radio but bluetooth connection to my phone is quick and easy. Battery life is good , over 4 hours depending on how loud. I even recently crash tested my bike and speaker and they held up well.

I've owned a lot of JBL products in the past (and currently own more than a few). They have great sound, but I was never quite happy with the sound quality on some of the lower cost models (the Clip for example). I am not a bike rider but I wanted a clip-on speaker for working outside and walking/hiking, and found this by accident. I got it today and hooked it up - I can't speak for battery life, but regarding everything else:- Very easy to connect my phone via Bluetooth, the instructions are very clear;- The FM radio is a nice bonus, and it is VERY clear! I pick up most channels in my area extremely well. I only listen to the radio during emergencies/power outages but that may change. The channel scanning is very easy and intuitive IMO.- The sound quality overall is fantastic for what this speaker is - clear sound (some bass) and it can sound tinny until I adjusted my EQ on my iPhone. But still, even at first listen, I was surprised at how good the sound was out of this tiny little unit. Also, it's much louder than I expected (but I assume that has to be the case for a product called "Wind" designed to be used while riding a bike).It's perfect for what I will use it for, and the price is on point for the features and quality it delivers, very pleased.

Best little speaker you can get. Definitely makes taking a long bike ride better for having music.

The Sound is good as far as handlebar speakers go and I have owned several. I do wish it pumped out a little more volume. It getskind of drowned out in thaffic. The actuals sound quality is good, as I expected from JBL and for the price.Installation was easy but the mount is kind of flimsy. I haven't crashed with it yet. At least the speaker stays put on the handlebar. I've had ones that flip around when going over bumps. This is pretty basic design and JBL nailed it. Overall 7/10 . I am knocking off a point because the speaker I have was $80 USD. I would price it's value at around $10 or so less, but I guess you're paying for the brand which is branded loudly on the front, making it a target for thieves.

I love it.I just wish it was a little bit louder

Indestructible

It was stored in a drawer for a while and when I wanted it the hook had broken.I bought the product to use on my bike rides, I tried it and everything worked perfectly. Good sound.However, I stopped riding a bike for a while (6 months approx.) and put the speaker in a drawer. Now when I wanted to use the speaker to use it on a trek I was surprised to find that it was broken (as in the photo) on one side of its springs and parts.Without this, it will no longer be useful to carry it attached to my backpack or on the bike rack because it comes off.I would not buy it again.

The good: the unit works, sound is pretty good for the size, Bluetooth connection is easy to establish and stable. Battery life is ok, though does down much faster if you pay it loud.Middle news: the fm radio sensitivity and selectivity are not great. I think this was clearly an afterthought.Bad news: the mount is pretty bad. The unit is somewhat heavy because of the battery and speaker magnet, and because of the shape of the mount, the whole thing extends as a rather long "arm" from the handlebars. This sets up a strong vibratory mode, causing the device to shake when going even over moderately rough pavement.This is made worse by the fact that no matter how tight you turn the attachment screw, the unit will rotate over time. On my bike it turns over the handlebars, away from the rider.The worst: when the unit is on the mount and going over a bumpy road, it rattles. Rattling is not ok in an audio device.The worst of this can be mitigated by replacing the included spacer rubber pieces with harder ones of your own. I was able to stop the rattle by adding some stick-on rubber pads in strategic locations on the mount's clip section. The loop half of Velcro tape might work even better.Overall, it's ok, but I don't think they tested on actual bicycles very much.
