Correct, the sound will be dependent on many things, I use mine on the motorcycle as well, and if I set it on the Highway bars, all you hear is the sound of the bike, if I set it on the handle bars, you don't hear much if anything, also depends on weather you have the protective case on it, if you do you hear less ambiance noise, but you won't be able to charge it while riding, you can charge it while riding with out the case, but keep in mind that continuous charge of the battery will decrease the life of the battery it self.

Not sure I am using it on my motorcycle. ..I ran a switch with a fuse and it works great great sound though.

I can't speak to the JBL. But I've had mine for over a year. I ride with it all the time. A full charge can last long enough for at least a metric century. I haven't had it on a full century, as I opted to ensure I had enough water between stops. It gets plenty loud. My average pace last night was 20mph, and was easily able to hear it over the wind noise.

I ride in a super busy car intensive area, so I have only used the horn at full power. I can tell you that changing the power, on the fly, is nearly impossible. However, even at full power, I can modulate the sound by just lightly pressing the button. This works well for pedestrians. Safe riding, hope this helps. Again, I think this is a great product.

Right now I think thats not a bad idea. When i use it before I go to bed( since it goes off so fast I just listen to like 5-7 songs so I dont need to charge it all the time) the player gets hot quickly. And that surprised me. But thank you for helping me out Rob. I really appreciate it. Its not fair that you get to enjoy your Christmas gift while I'm dissapointed with mine. lol. But thank you for answering. :)

I should have mentioned earlier in 1st response that the speaker is fully charged in 2 hours or less. I play music on this speaker everyday for 2-3 hours and it's still fully charged. I make it a habit to plug in usb to laptop to charge every two weeks. As far as the car charger there is no insert for car charger. There is 2 inserts on the speaker (1 for usb charger and the other for you to plug into the headphone for cell phones etc.) Good Luck!

The unit comes with an AC adapter to use with 110VAC. There is also a standard 5.x 12VDC adapter on the back with the 110VAC plugs into. I have used it to play back mp3s while doing yard work and it works just great - 0.1W will give you about 1/4 mile of reception with no trouble. Haven't tried it in a car, but with the suitable 5.x plug, should be easy to wire to a car outlet.

ya it's great!! i can plug the charger into the cigarette lighter and it'll charge while listening to it through my fantastic stereo. you'll need an extra wire that you plug into the player's headphone plug and plug the other into the aux. plug in on the stereo.

No. It puts out an impressive amount of sound for its size, but it doesn't cut it got use in a car, let alone a motorcycle.

I've always charged this device using a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on my desktop. These ports are 5 VDC, & are capable of supplying 500 mA & 900 mA respectively. However, if you're using a USB port powered from your car aux port or from a wall socket, it may supply as much as 2.1 amps, which doesn't seem to present any problems for most of my equipment that's charged via USB (phones, MP3s, etc.), so I'm guessing this amplifier would be okay & I wouldn't hesitate to use it if necessary. Hope this is what you were looking for.

Not bad, it depends on the environment though. It can easily drown out street traffic and daily use for like an office setting, with possibly the exception for maybe sirens, road construction, or if you're on a noisy subway or something. I usually just turn it up louder depending on the environment. I typically turn it up to about halfway on my iphone so it definitely has a lot of headroom if you want to drown out other noises.

I have one of the speakers and have enjoyed the sound quality and, the overall durability compare to other cheap speakers. The unit is charged VI a micro plug much like your cell phone. therefore you can charge it with an adapter through your wall. You can also use a USB plug to charge to your computer. I find that it's best to charge it off a wall plug overnight and it will run for a long time before it dies from power. I paid about 40 bucks for mine used, and find great success with the speaker, mostly the distance you can take your phone while still having music play through the speaker. I have at least 6 or 7 friends the now packed this speaker around. Good luck.

To answer your question we strapped the speaker to our Vino 50cc scooter and rode around with Spotify on full blast. Could barely hear the music during idle, nothing at speed. But it sounded just fine while the scooter was off and we were changing the oil...

I would rate sound was improved by plugging it directly in the output jack of my radio, that stopped the occasional fading in and out and static. It works for me in my 2007 Honda. Basically a poor mans blurtooth!

I have it on my jet ski. The only draw back I have is when I'm running 55mph and can't hear bc of the wind. But if you are just putting along in the woods with stock exhaust, you should be able to hear it quite well. Radio stations come in clear and the iPod/iPhone USB port works good. Haven't tried the sd card slot yet. If you accidentally submerge it under water, give it at least an hour to dry and it'll function properly again. No complaints at all.

Well, never tried using this on a motorcycle. What I can say is...... it's a good quality jack that fits snugly in the 12v socket in our vehicles (one of which is a diesel truck). The fit / quality is way better than the cheapo ones we bought at the big box store. I liked it so much I recently purchased a second one.
