Joyiqi Bicycle Portable Rechargeable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, Cycling Speaker Mp3 Player with Micro Sd Card and Aux Inputs, with 4 Interchangeable Colored Skins and Bike Mount, for Smart Phone and Tablet

My wife wanted a Bluetooth speaker to attach to her bike while cycling. There were three models that I was considering which had the same exact speaker shape/design (OT Buckshot, Ivation Bullet and Joyiqi), but they had slightly different functionalities. Of the three, the Buckshot was the most expensive and Joyiqi was the cheapest. I bought both the Buckshot and Joyiqi and the Joyiqi was a much better product. I wrote a similar review as below for the Buckshot ( Outdoor Tech OT1301 Buckshot Super-Portable Rugged Water-Resistant Wireless Bluetooth Speaker (Glo) ).Pros of Joyiqi:- Has microSD card slot. Both Joyiqi and Ivation Bullet have this, but Buckshot does not.- Bluetooth pairing is a breeze. It has abutton dedicated to Bluetooth pairing AND pressing this pairing button initiates an elegant voice that tells you whether the speaker is ready for pairing or if the speaker has paired successful. Very nice touch. On the Buckshot there aren't many buttons so one button has to serve several functions. The button for pairing is the same as the power on/off, call answer/end and song play/pause. For pairing you have to long-press this button and wait for two lights on either side of the button to flash to notify you when the product is ready for pairing (there is no voice notification). Since the buttons and lights are small, your finger covers the lights so you can't see when the product is ready for pairing. Very poor design on the Buckshot.- Lots of large buttons for direct access to controls which makes using Joyiqi easy and quick to operate. The Buckshot has fewer and smaller buttons that are hard to use. Most bike riders will mount the product on the bike's handlebar with speaker facing them. Since the Buckshot's buttons are located on the opposite end of the speaker they won't be visible to the rider. That means the rider has to "feel" for the button they want to press which can be frustrating at times. The Buckshot's Previous/Next song control requires long press of the volume buttons. This is time consuming. When riding a bike you don't want your hands away from the handlebar more than necessary since it becomes a safety issue.- Comes with 4 covers and 4 straps, just like the Ivation Bullet. The Buckshot only comes with one outside cover and one rubber strap.- Covers and straps are color-matched which look nicer than the Buckshot when mounted. The Buckshot only has one strap that comes in black which totally ruins the aesthetics (unless you order a black cover).- Highs and mids sound good and are clear and loud enough for cycling in areas without a lot of traffic. Bass isn't great, but I didn't expect much from a speaker this size so no problems there. The sound volume and clarity are the same on both the Buckshot and Joyiqi.- Cheapest of the speakers that share the same shape/design.Cons of Joyiqi:- No microphone for speakerphone functionality. I do wish the Joyiqi had a microphone for speakerphone functionality. I'd even pay more for it.- Not weather resistant, but not a huge deal since I can easily put in my bag if it starts raining while cycling.- Outside cover is not as thick and sturdy as the Buckshot.Overall, the Joyiqi is a much cheaper, easier to use than the Buckshot while having the same sound volume and clarity. I'm guessing the Ivation Bullet functions/performs exactly as the Joyiqi, but at a price point halfway between the Joyiqi and Buckshot. I wish the Joyiqi had a microphone for speakerphone functionality. I'd have given it 5 stars if it had a microphone. I hope this review helps other folks out there deciding which of the three similarly shaped/designed products to buy.

Ok, so this review is going to be kind of odd. But I figure I'll help out others who are looking to use it for the same reason I was looking to use it.To start, for the money, this thing has a great sound for what it is built for. I used a microSD card and was impressed with the quality of the sound. It took me a little while to get used to what button to press to make it do what (like 4 minutes or so), and I don't like that there is no way to shutup the voice that talks every time I turn the thing on (maybe there is a way, but I have more important stuff to do in my life than to spend time figuring that out :P).But overall, it does what it advertises.Now for the odd part. I tried to get creative (as I'm sure others will as well), and attempted to use the product for something it was NOT intended for. I own a quiet small cc cruiser (no loud pipes and relatively slow moving), and I wanted music. So I bought this, and a few components from walmart to extend the charging capabilities in my garage. I strapped it to my handlebars, started the motorcycle and thought "hey, this may work!". I maneuvered my way through my neighborhood and I could still hear the music between stop signs at like 15mph or so. BUT THEN I got out onto the main road and the thing completely gets drowned out. Other traffic, wind noise, my relatively quiet exhaust, etc above like 20mph or so completely made the thing inaudible.Now with the above being said the little rubber band things held strong up to 65mph (I lashed it to my mirror in case it broke), so the rubber band things hold on like a champ and i just used one of them.So, sorry for the long review, but wanted my motorcycling brethren to know that this is not an option. BUT this thing will work VERY nicely on my mountain bike when my girl and I go for slow evening rides for some exercise. Nice product for the money.

I got more into mountain biking recently, and our local trails are frequented by many other cyclists. I knew I didn't want in-ear speakers to ensure I could hear those around me if they were passing. This speaker is perfect for me since I can listen to my music and still be aware of my surroundings. The Bluetooth and microSD options are both fantastic, and it has really made my weekend trips more enjoyable. My girlfriend can also follow me about 15-25 feet behind and still hear songs reasonably well. The 4 included color cases are a bonus.I haven't had any problems with battery life and make an effort to throw it back on the charger after 6 hours of use so that I'm not left stranded in the middle of a trek without my tunes. Yes, it is a small speaker and thus you lose some sound quality in the lower registers, but I'm no audiophile. As long as I can enjoy the beat of my music during a fun activity I'm happy. Some folks have to have electronic devices that are top of the line with sound quality a bat couldn't complain about, if so, then you may want to save your money for a more expensive system that will meet your more particular tastes. For its intended purpose this speaker is great.
