Choosing a portable bike speaker Bicycle speakers: the main differences, how to choose a Bluetooth bicycle speaker

Today it is very difficult to imagine a car without a car radio. Music occupies an important place in our life, wherever we are, and whatever we do. It helps us at work, in school, in everyday affairs, uplifting, invigorating, or vice versa, plunging us into the world of romantic dreams.

That is why very often cyclists do not have enough music while walking, especially when it comes to long journeys. With music, riding is much more fun and interesting, it can add a couple of horsepower to both the cyclist and his iron friend. Any bulky audio system on the road is not an option, which is why the popularity of portable wireless speakers is skyrocketing. This device is compact and mobile. There are no extra constantly tangled wires that cause only inconvenience. The portable speaker is small enough both in size and weight, so it will not load the bike and will not interfere with its owner.

Why portable speakers and not headphones?

Firstly, for his own safety, it is very important for a cyclist to hear everything that is happening around: cars, people or other participants can give various signals. traffic out of view. Everything will be heard with speakers.

Secondly, the speakers will not interfere with communication with companions (friends, family, a child on the trunk) while cycling.

The portable speaker can be connected to:

phone (smartphone). This is the most commonly used pairing. It is enough to turn on the Bluetooth module on the phone (smartphone) and turn on the speaker, then, finding it among the available devices, connect;
tablet;
laptop.

It should be noted that today almost all portable speakers flash card can be installed. Therefore, if you do not want to discharge the phone, you can use the function of playing music from a flash card.

Different models of speakers may differ in shape and design. They can be square, spherical, oval, in the form of a helmet, cans, etc.

Speakers can be powered by both batteries and batteries.

Today, manufacturers are actively improving this device, and you won’t surprise anyone with functions such as a microphone or FM radio.

There is a huge selection of portable speakers on the market, but, unfortunately, there are not so many speakers adapted for cycling. Therefore, cyclists quite often buy simple portable speakers, and puzzle over how to attach them to the bike. However, if the shape and dimensions of the device allow, they simply put the column into the bottle stand.

In the segment of special columns for a bicycle, representatives from China are mainly represented today. As a rule, such speakers have wide functionality, but the sound and power leave much to be desired.

Although in fairness it should be noted that among the Chinese "consumer goods" there are representatives worthy of attention (Nyne Cruiser, Sport Music, Osell MA-861, Nizhi, Partner Rebel). I would like to draw your attention to a fully functional bicycle column - Nizhi.

This device, using a special mount, can be fixed on the steering wheel of your two-wheeled friend (bicycle, moped or scooter). It can also be used as a regular portable speaker or attached to the hand (there is an additional convenient fastening) and listen while running. The column is distinguished by excellent acoustic characteristics, ease of use and the presence of a large number of additional functions.

Another worthwhile representative in the segment of special speakers for bicycles is a device from an American company - Monoprice High Performance Bike, made in the form of a bicycle helmet with an expanding resonant chamber that increases sound and bass.

The advantages of this column include:

Due to the fact that there are not so many offers on the market, some cyclists successfully solve the problem with acoustics on their own, that is, they assemble it with their own hands.

Most often, computer mini-columns are taken as the basis. It is desirable that they be moisture resistant, durable and easy to install. Bicycle mount can be very different (mount for bottles, from bicycle bells, etc.). You can use either batteries or accumulators as power. The wires from the speakers run along the frame to the frame bag, where, as a rule, a home-made power supply is placed, as well as a player or radio.

Traveling long distances can be tiring, especially on a flat highway or through a forested area. In order to somehow add variety to the road, the imagination throws up favorite tracks. However, such "silent music" can only be compared with a real one with a stretch.

Many cyclists choose the simplest option - headphones. Yes, your favorite songs sound real, but they have a number of disadvantages when driving a bicycle, and a little later we will take a closer look at them. Listening to music and at the same time controlling the sound environment around allows acoustics for a bicycle - a small audio system built into the design of the bike. We will find out what advantages it has in comparison with headphones, its varieties and, of course, how to make it yourself.

Why speakers are better than headphones

Why Choose Headphones? Mainly because of simplicity and availability. To play your favorite tracks on a trip, it is enough to have a mobile phone and a regular headset at hand. Then it's up to the small - we connect it to the phone and open the playlist. However, in terms of security, this option is very risky. For example, when driving in a dense stream of cars or in an unfamiliar mountain track headphones are generally contraindicated, as concentration of attention decreases, and external sounds are not always audible, by which the lion's share of the situation on the roads is determined.

Alternatively, you can listen to music through one earphone, leaving the other ear free. True, the sound quality will be much worse, and attention will also be scattered due to cacophony - road sounds will interrupt the music, and vice versa.

The sound through the speaker system is transmitted to the outside. He is heard by both the cyclist and those around him. At the same time, a balance is maintained between listening to songs for the soul and focusing on control.

Benefits of Bicycle Audio Speakers:

realistic musical accompaniment;
speakers do not interfere with traffic control: determine the distance to other vehicles by sound, hear people around, cyclists, danger signals, etc.;
comfortable communication in a column of cyclists.

Portable audio system for bicycle

A portable speaker is an independent device with a built-in battery, it has outputs for a flash card, headphones and a USB socket for recharging. This type of device greatly facilitates operation - there are no ever-interfering wires, neat attachment to the handlebars of a bicycle, and, of course, small dimensions.

What should be the columns for the bike, and what to strive for, consider the New Angel CX as an example. The main advantages of the model:

universality;
connecting devices;
all functions of the audio player;
radio;
two powerful speakers on the sides;
convenient control panel;
reliable fastening to the steering wheel + strap and latch.

Key features of a bike carrier

The column can be used not only on a bicycle, but also on the steering wheel of a moped or scooter. Apart from the bike, it can be used to listen to music while running, race walking or at home on your desktop.

Portable audio system has outputs:

for Flash-cards and micro SD;
USB socket for recharging from a PC, laptop or USB network charger;
standard headset output;
phone connection and use as an amplifier.

Powerful acoustics and bass are achieved due to the location of the speakers on the sides. In principle, in terms of sound quality, devices with one speaker, but across the entire frontal surface, can easily compete with them. In the second case, the sound is directed directly at the cyclist.

Audio system with circular speaker

The portable bike player includes all the basic player options - folder and file management, stop, rewind, equalizer settings, etc. There is also a clock and an alarm clock. The control panel is located at the top, which will allow you to switch through the playlist without taking your eyes off the road. Tired of listening to music from a flash drive? At the service of the cyclist is an FM radio - we tune the desired wave.

Mounts included with the New Angel CX speaker:

on the steering wheel with adjustment for pipe diameters;
rubberized belt for running or walking;
plastic belt clip.

It is worth noting that portable speakers work without recharging the battery from 3 to 5 hours, which fits into the standard cycling time. On longer trips, you will have to save the charge and give the device a rest.

Bicycle speakers with Bluetooth technology

This option differs from a standard portable audio system in that the transfer of music files is not from a memory drive, but via a wireless connection. The source-translator of data is a mobile phone, smartphone or player with a bluetooth function.

Bicycle speakers with wireless data transmission are powerful, compact and long-lasting devices. Consider their main advantages using the example of the Monoprice High Performance bike model:

compact dimensions and weight - 120 g, which will not cause inconvenience when driving a road bike;
retractable column on the corrugation;
control buttons on the front panel;
high speed transfer via bluetooth, on this model - 24 Mbit / s;
stable connection up to 8 m;
powerful acoustics;
long work battery - 7-8 hours.

Despite its modest size, the speaker broadcasts a wide (from 16 kHz to 220 GHz) frequency range, making the sound richer and more voluminous. The pressure limit reaches 80 dB, which can be compared with the noise of a busy road. Thus, the music will be heard even in a dense stream of cars.

Set: bluetooth speaker, mount, USB charger, wire for mobile phone

Movement in the wind, rain and mud - all this is not a wonder for a cyclist. But for attachments, this can be sad. Fortunately, the Performance bike audio system is completely sealed from external negative factors.

Putting on a bike is very simple: the device is inserted into a strong plastic socket and fixed on the handlebars with a screw clamp.

Other models from the manufacturer Moonprice:

– compact bluetootn-player of medium power. Works continuously up to 6 hours, has a lower battery capacity. However, a significant drawback is the lack of moisture protection of the case. Bluetooth transmission speed is lower, but through it you can listen to music from a micro-card. Of course, the cost of this model will be lower compared to the Performance bike.

Parther Rebel with vertical control panel

- "column-headlight". In shape, it resembles a bicycle lamp. The direction is adjustable, as in previous models. This player costs less because of the low battery capacity and, accordingly, the short time of continuous operation - up to 3 hours. However, for short rides, this option will be quite acceptable.

Bluetooth speaker Osell Ma-861

Installing a ready-made device and enjoying music on the road is no longer a dream, but a reality, especially since the prices for portable devices are quite acceptable. However, for amateur craftsmen, this option will seem too simple, and they will prefer to assemble the audio system on their own. How to do this, we will learn further.

How to put music on a bike with your own hands

At school, those who attended radio circles, without fail, encountered the assembly of a simple receiver or tape recorder. By analogy, you can assemble a player for a bike, if you have all the necessary details and, of course, skill.

Of course, it's great to be able to collect all sorts of things, but it's not always possible to find the right parts. Therefore, consider a simpler and more versatile way - a wired bicycle audio system.

So, for work you will need:

small speakers with a USB output - 2 pieces for high-quality sound;
battery pack;
mp3 player;
connectors for USB - 3 pcs;
clamps for fixing the speakers on the steering wheel - 2 pcs;
glue "Moment".

Computer speakers can be bought in any specialized department. We choose the smallest ones that would not interfere with control. Columns are mounted on the steering wheel on both sides.

This is how the finished acoustics on the bike will look like

Fastening - standard plastic clamps, on which reflectors, bells, mirrors, etc. are usually held. Separately, they are sold in stores in limited quantities, but they are available on the Internet or, alternatively, removed from a bell or flashlight.

A pack of batteries can be bought from radio products. In our case, we need a 4-battery 5V system. We also buy USB connectors.

How to assemble an audio system on a bicycle with your own hands:

Put the speakers on the clamps using the "Moment" and tighten the holders on the steering wheel. Check how firmly they sit.
Attach USB connectors to the battery pack - two for speakers and one for the player.
Pull the wires from the speakers to the batteries, connect them through the USB outputs.
Connect the battery to the mp3 player through the wire.

We start the player and check the performance of the system. Additionally, you can make a switch - a relay in the area between the speakers and the battery pack. In principle, this is not necessary, since it is enough to pull the player's wire out of the battery.

Conclusion

A bicycle music system, whether it's a Bluetooth player or homemade wired speakers, will undoubtedly give you a new ride experience and add energy and vivacity on long hauls.

In order to add drive, brightness and emotions to the journey, you can build speakers on the bike and complement the trip with listening to music.

Despite the fact that all bicycle audio systems offered on the modern market have a similar combination of characteristics and work on the same principle, they are still divided according to the signal transmission method:

Wireless RF speakers use an internal radio transmitter that operates on unused frequencies. The advantage of this technology is the combination of simplicity and efficiency - bicycle speakers transmit a signal at a distance of up to 100 meters from the source. The disadvantages of the system include interference from signals from other devices: extraneous noise, deterioration in sound quality.
Wireless Bluetooth speakers are the most common on the market. Connection to devices is possible only via bluetooth and at a distance of no more than 30 meters. The only drawback of this type is incompatibility with desktop computers, phones and TVs that do not support bluetooth. But such devices are practically not used in the modern world.
Wireless Wi-Fi speakers are the most high-tech and convenient option with the highest quality sound. The signal is transmitted over a Wi-Fi network, that is, at any point in space, regardless of distance and without any interference. Unfortunately, technology has not yet provided all devices with Wi-Fi transmitters, so this species speakers can not yet 100% conquer the market.

Main features and how to choose

Before buying a speaker, a cyclist should decide on their requirements for a handheld device. We recommend that you pay attention to the following specifications:

The column body must be made of durable, reliable material that is resistant to shock and water ingress. A good option- Lightweight aluminum body.
It is good if the bike column is equipped with a special handlebar mount, but if there is none, then you need to purchase it separately. The ideal option there will be the presence of hardened steel mounting axes, the mounting body itself made of steel and a shock-absorbing rubber gasket.
The functionality of the speaker system depends on the presence of the Bluetooth function, connection to Wi-Fi or via AUX. The buyer chooses these characteristics in accordance with his desires. But a standard connector for a flash card and a charger must be required.
The sound quality and the width of the radius determines the presence of frequency bands. Single bar marking means that the speaker supports one frequency in mono mode. Accordingly, two bars - two frequencies, and three bars mean the support of all frequencies.
The appearance of the acoustic device is an important factor. Stylish design is a nice addition to good performance.
Let's move on to questions about price and size, which are directly proportional to each other. Without a doubt, everyone dreams of a compact device, but it is not yet possible to design a small speaker capable of transmitting low frequencies over an impressive distance.

Band format and frequency

Since sound quality is the main criterion when purchasing a speaker, it is worth taking a closer look at what it depends on.

The column format is responsible for the richness of the sound. Portable bicycle speakers are divided into three formats:

1:0 - mono mode format, assumes sound from one channel, even if there are more than one speaker. This format corresponds to low power and unexpressed sound;
2:0 - this format supports stereo mode. The mode includes surround sound and corresponding rich sound;
3:0 is considered the most favorable sound format. The stereo system is equipped with a subwoofer, which emphasizes the sound at low and high frequencies.

Installation

Assembling and installing bluetooth speakers with a built-in mount or with a purchased specialized mount does not cause difficulties and is completed in 5 minutes using wrench. Another thing is the installation of the column using improvised means.

How to put acoustics on a bicycle with your own hands

The easiest home-made method is to install bicycle acoustics with a wired system.

For this you will need:

small speakers that support USB - sound quality is achieved using 2 pieces;
a set of batteries;
mp3 player;
USB - connectors - 3 pcs.;
Plastic clamps - 2 pcs.;
glue "Moment".

Any small computer speakers will do. They are installed on both sides of the steering wheel. Plastic clamps are used as fasteners. In stores, they are not always available separately, but ordering online is also a good way. Also, the clamps left over from the old bell may end up in the household. In the department of radio components, we purchase a block of a 4-battery system for 5V. Here we take USB - connectors.

We fix the columns with clamps using glue, and place the clamps on the steering wheel. Be sure to check the strength of the fastening.
The USB connectors are attached to the battery. A couple are for the speakers and one for the player.
The wires are pulled from the speakers to the battery pack and connected via USB.
The wire should connect the battery and the mp3 player.

It remains only to start the player and check the system for operability. If desired, you can build a shutdown button in the gap between the speakers and the batteries.

Ginzzu GM-986B is a portable speaker that plays music in any environment. You will go on a journey with the confidence that your favorite music tracks will accompany the path.

Pleasant, beloved music - that's what will add energy and vivacity to a bike ride. A good, high-quality portable speaker system will provide comfort and good mood.

Portable speakers or portable speaker system - a type of acoustics characterized by small dimensions. The system is connected via Bluetooth or AUX cable. The popularity of the portable speaker system arose as a result of the mass appearance and availability of gadgets.

Speakers for cycling include all the features of conventional speakers, but in addition to this they must have a strong and reliable case with a protective device against the penetration of foreign objects into the device.

Also, bicycle speakers are distinguished by increased battery power, the ability to work offline and high level volume, as when driving fast, the music will not be heard well with weak speakers.

And one of the important components of excellent speakers is reliable attachment to the frame, steering wheel, etc.

Types and features of the gadget

A portable speaker for a bicycle differs from a conventional speaker system primarily in its small size. The device is easy to use and has many advantages in comparison with headphones.

Water resistant and strong case;
Possibility of installation in a special mount for the steering wheel of a bicycle;
Bluetooth function, standard slots for a memory card, connectors for recharging.

Band format and frequency

The speaker format is responsible for the quality of the reproduced sound. Portable speakers on a bike usually come in three formats:

1:0 is a speaker format with mono mode, meaning single channel sound even when there are multiple speakers. Differ in low power and unexpressed sound.
2:0 - This format works in stereo with high power surround sound and distinctive sound.
3:0 is the highest quality sound transmission format, the stereo system is equipped with a subwoofer that amplifies low-frequency and emphasizes high-frequency sound.

The sound quality and the width of the radius is determined by the number of frequency bands.

Speakers that support one frequency in mono mode are marked with one band, two-frequency - with two, and for music connoisseurs - three-band speakers that support all frequencies of the range.

Offline mode

One of the main indicators of any portable technology is the possibility of battery life, which is provided in various ways.

Some speakers are powered by AA batteries or rechargeable batteries, while others are equipped with their own battery, which is charged using a charger.

Interface and connector
