Will this get loud enough for biking through traffic? I have a Scosche BoomBottle and though it gets loud for indoor use, not enough for noisy places.

Hard to say...it does get loud. It has never disappointed us, but we don't use it in that environment. Everyone who meets it, loves it. It might be awkward to use on a bike.

Sadly, I sold my bike about a month before I bought these, so I haven't tested them in that environment. :^( However, I think these would work fine, plus these are great for any loud environment where you still need to hear people talk. Also, these would be good if you use a device like ScalaRider or Chatterbox. Earasers do have another product called "Peace and Quiet" that seem to block more sound and may be better for highway speeds on a motorcycle, though.

I've never once felt like "I wish it would get louder"... I've taken it to outdoor get togethers, camping, etc. and it is loud enough to have good background music volume. If you're trying to make the music the focal point of an event, you might want something bigger.

It may be loud enough for a home, but not for a commercial kitchen. It didn't last very long in this tougher environment. Bottom line: Home use, yes.... Commercial use, no.

Unfortunately, I think this is somewhat normal. I had one bike that was really loud, and only got louder as the faster I peddled. Sent the bike back and the new bike also makes noise from the belt and drive train. I think this is normal and is poor quality of this sunny bike model.

Absolutely. This thing is crazy loud. I've only had it at full volume to see how hi it can go and honestly, I cant see ever needing it that loud inside any sort of normal residence at all. Outside in an open yard? Oh yeah, this would work.

It actually bumps hard enough at max volume to fall off the counter. I carry it along in my backpack during hikes, and it has been through drops, bumps and splashes. I bring it to work quite often, very easy to throw it in my jacket pocket for transit when my hands are full. Of course there are bigger speakers that will be louder, but when you factor in size and strength, I say this is a winner

On long rides I play music and hear it just fine. I do not use earbuds and play my music through the speaker. Actually I had to turn it down a few times because the other riders would comment on my music selection. (I tend to listen to hard rock & metal when I exercise.)

While not good on noise isolation it definately does not snag. I use mine while biking and it lets me hear the traffic.

That depends on how loud your passengers are. It can be quite loud, especially if the device linked to it can be, as well. I have never found myself wishing that it was louder.

As an owner of it, I use it at work and over all the noise it still doesn't have to be full volume. On a boat that was going full speedier may be to much noise to overcome, however 15-20 feet inside wouldn't be a problem at all

yup as long as your biking on the streets and not on really bumpy like extreme downhill biking... on regular streets its perfect. theres a good balence between isolation and hearing the cars behind you

Probably not. While its loud enough to hear clearly from the other end of my apartment I would think you would need something significantly louder to hear from a greater distance outdoors.

I just installed it in the trunk of my bike & carpeted around it as to not block the heat from it. Works great. I have a simple Walkman hooked to it. It's too loud.

yes it would be audible but it would not be very loud. this is truly a person speaker. You would want to a bigger speaker for a motorcycle.

I have had no problem hearing audio while on my bike riding next to traffic. The ear buds are not completely isolating, but do a decent job.

Yep. It works great with a helmet. More than just loud, it sounds better so you don't need to crank it up so much.
