ZEALOT Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Bluetooth Speakerfor Bicycle, Handlebar sepaker, IPX5 Waterproof, LED Torch Light, MIC/TF/AUX for Home Outdoor Hiking Camping iOS Andoird -Gray

I have now owned my Zealot Bluetooth speaker/Light for over 3 months. It is quite a workhorse. I purchased this to replace my Photive Bike Speaker. The Photive introduced me to the luxury of having music safely while I biked, but it's mounting hardware made it unreliable and prone to falling off bracket. That will definitely not be happening with the Zealot. It has a hard compressed thick plastic mount that fits tightly to the handlebar and the speaker screws on to it like a camera to a tripod, so it isn't falling off during a bump. BTW, you can also use it to mount a Go-Pro or similar camera that has screw mount. (I notice a lot of complaints about mounts breaking. It is a small fit and if you screw too tight the hinge pin can break. I would say the maximum circumference is about 3-1/2 inches. My handlebar is 3 inches and I use a spacer, so measure before considering. When installing do not over-tighten). The light is super bright on high mode, that I can't even look into it without it blinding. It has three modes: Bright, Dim and Bright Flashing (S.O.S.). It is large in size like a hand-held flashlight and the silicone rubber covering makes it quite water-resistant. I have the sporty red color. I ride my bike to work everyday in most conditions, except in extreme snow, and this holds up perfectly on the city streets. The speaker is just loud enough for personal enjoyment without annoying others. Granted, this will not be the speaker you will bring to the beach if you want to get a party started, but for personal use the sound is perfect. I even take it with me when I want to enjoy music while relaxing at the park, but not annoy others trying to relax. You can play music via Bluetooth, an SD card, or via FM radio, but for latter you must insert the charging cord to work as an antenna. Not a fan, as I don't like have a long cord dangling by my front wheel while biking. I only use Bluetooth, so cannot reliably review other methods, except to say that SD works fine and you can use controls on speaker the same as you would use for Bluetooth (Volume, Next track, etc). FM is fine if you get good reception. Also, it does include an auxiliary cord if not using Bluetooth and USB charging cord in package. BTW, the packaging is beautiful, so it would make a great gift. The battery lasts for a long time, about 10 plus hours of usage on a charge, and will hold a charge for days. Most importantly, it is also a mobile power charger which most other Bluetooth bike speakers are not. I recently had my Iphone battery go down to 35 percent, and in 30 minutes of charging it brought it up to 65 percent. To get from 10 percent to 100 percent charge takes about and hour. If you want to use it while hiking, it includes a Carabiner Clip that you can attach to a belt loop or knapsack loop for emergency lighting and music while traveling. (When you first unpack light, there will be a screw with a loop on the threads that you have to remove to screw on mounting bracket. Do not throw that screw away, that is where Carabiner will attach}. You can also take calls via Bluetooth if you don't want to access your phone, which I usually have in a jacket pocket or knapsack while biking. So, in short - Great Bluetooth speaker, Water-resistant, a phone battery charger, a bright safety/emergency light, and a long charge. Perfect for the new generation of bikers.

UPDATE: Now that I have had some time to use this thing a bit more, I have come to be very dependent on it and I am upgrading my review to five stars. The most important thing I have noticed is the amazing battery life. I recently did a century ride that took 11 hours. I was using my phone screen for navigation the whole way, and this thing was a life-saver as a power bank. I plugged it in to my phone when it got below 50%, and still arrived home with 25% of my phone battery remaining. Absolute lifesaver! I have also found that the mount has become more stable with time so I rarely have to re-position it. I also figured out that you can get good peripheral lighting from the reflector by pointing the light further up than I was originally doing. This means that most of my original concerns no longer exist and I am upgrading this review to five stars. Highly recommended! Side note: for those who still have concerns about the mount, I figured out that this is just a standard tripod mount and there are lots of handlebar tripod mounts out there if you want to upgrade. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This item does a lot of things for one unit, and as with other things that try to perform several functions, it doesn't excel at any of them. But I can say that it does work decently as both a headlight and a speaker for a bicycle. The speaker is not as loud as I would like, but it is louder and has more bass than my phone so that is an improvement. The light is bright enough to ride streets in the dark, but it is a narrow spot that it illuminates only right in front of the light, so you have to be very careful about what you are not seeing on the peripherals. I tried it on a night ride on a trail around a lake, and I had to go much slower than I would have liked because of the lack of width in the beam. The one thing that really falls terribly short of expectations is the mounting system. I got the swivel lock as tight as I could get it, but the light still tilts down forward as I am riding. I have been able to correct that by tilting the whole mount back on the handlebars so that the light is tilted as far forward as it will go when it is straight, but then I lose adjustability. Overall, I would recommend this if you want it for the speaker and just need a headlight to be legal or to make yourself more visible to cars on streets. If you are riding in a very dark area, you may need something with a wider beam area. I haven't tried it as a powerbank, so I won't comment on that function.

Genial, facil de usar Exactamente lo que esperaba !

works really well.. pairs instantly with iphone, great battery life. sound is only ok but is fine for the price. i only bought it for cycling and the light is a great extra feature for that. I have had it 2 months now and no issues at all

This flashlight/speaker is easy to install, gast to charge, and works great. You can also easy detach it once you reach your destination to for example, listen to music in the park. It isn't overwhelming loud which I prefer, and can be used with your phones navigation apps to hear directions while biking an unfamiliar route.

Great little speaker. Love the fact it comes with a light and is rechargeable. Great for mounting to electric scooters.

I am satisfied with this product. The volume is good enough for me, I use it for biking and paddle boarding mostly. The battery lasts for the whole day. The flashlight is not bad but could be stronger, still good enough. The sound quality is good enough considering the price. Happy I got it.
