Bluetooth speakers. Any in particular favored?

[afishinado]

Still waiting on Val to get out of the shop so I can ride it.  One thing I miss about my hibernating Road Glide is the Boom Box, currently riding a borrowed Road King.  I like to listen to my I-tunes.  On my UTV's I put something like this one, but don't really use it.  To me, for some reason riding the trails in the forest is different than on the street, I just don't listen to the tunes.  Anyway, I am going to put something like it on my Tourer.  Just wondering if there is a favored unit amongst you folks.
Thanks!


Rechargeable unit only (no hard wiring) water resistant, and ability to answer phone calls a plus..

I doubt any small unit like that will be loud enough to hear at speed. Why not just get handlebar speakers and a bluetooth adaptor?

You may be right about the volume, which is why I asked.  The one on my UTV is loud enough, I wear a full face helmet and it is anything but quiet!
Edit, Oh, I hate crap on my handlebars

I have these on my bike for the pas 4 years and I like them. Lots of power I could hear radio over 60mph and if you don't like chrome, they have black. I use my satellite radio and sounds good.

Just back from Best Buy where there were probably 20 different speakers displayed for demonstration.  I bought the one pictured in my original post after listening to most of them (Sony SRSXB21/B) for $59.  I will be surprised if it doesn't have enough volume, it sounds like it does snd then some.  Plus I can answer my phone from it (I haven't played with it yet to give that a try) this is a real bonus as I am semi-retired and don't like to miss phone calls.   Now I just need to come up with a mounting system I like for it.

Keep us posted.  Curious to see what you come up with for mounting...

I take it there is a means of charging the box, so couldn't you do that on the bike? I would think a USB cable. Just add a USB port.

Why not get a Cardo Packtalk (slim) then you can have music anywhere you go, and on any bike you sit.

Used a old cupholder mount I had in my misc parts bin, made a cradle from PVC.  After searching the ACE hardware store, Hoover vacuum cleaner belt #49 was just the right size and holds it in place solid.  The PO popped a hole in the mufflers (I think) and it's louder than stock, have ample volume on the road until I pour on the coal.
