Will external noises (ie. wind, passing cars, bicycle tire noise) cancel out the Boom Bottle's sound when road riding at speeds of 25-40 MPH?

You won't get great sound at high speed or in loud traffic, but it will be as good or better than using earbud headphones in similar conditions--and safer because you'll hear the traffic around you more clearly.

I'm riding a foldie with my wife so our average speed is about 20-24km/h. At our speed, the BoomBottle sound great. Most importantly, this is a very light weight speaker which I like.

It is quite possible that will prove true. I noticed as I began using it again this weekend that I wish it had a bit greater volume. The sound is good. I only wish it would play a bit louder.

Provides decent physical external sound blockage, but is not noise canceling. I have bose noise canceling. They only work with steady sounds. Like the hum of the road or an airplane engine/wind.

I don't think it would be heard over loud music. But this can be hooked up to an external speeder.

We use it a on paved road in our neighborhood (no sidewalks but very few cars either) and I don't think it's loud. I can carry on a conversation with a friend or family member while the kids ride in the wagon.

Yes, but it depends how loud the street traffic is. This makes a steady wooshing sound. I wouldn't call it loud but it's not quiet either. It drowns out background noise well.

No he won't hear the pipes. Mayb just some wind noise. Sena is good at canceling out background noise. I have a loud pipe on my bike and ppl hear me clear.

I'm not sure it would be loud enough for a motorcycle. I use it on my bicycle and it's fine but when I go down hill at 20+mph it is difficult to hear.

probably not much, i can hear car noises when i'm outside perfectly fine with the included foam sleeves if you buy the tri flange ones, those block really really well (but pretty uncomfortable for me), also the yellow foams are garbage, they don't block any sound

The few times I rode with it playing through the speaker and not an earpiece, I could hear the music fine when stopped and moving slowly, but once I pick up any speed the wind noise quickly drowns out the music. I can still hear it per say, but as could be expected it was muffled. For the most part I liked playing it like that because I could still hear the beat, without putting myself at risk by completely filling my ear with music while riding in slight traffic.

That is not too different from my application, so it should help. It will stop resonance and provide some sound absorption.

Turning the volume down still has drawbacks because it will still interrupt your music playback, etc... in the sounds and warnings tab of the settings you can set the relative speed that the warning goes off max is something like 150% of the speed limit so if limit is 50 mph it won't warn until you are going 75 mph and you can also set it to visual warning there also.

There are three different protection levels.When I am rıding motorcycle I am usıng high protection level.İt's blocking too much external sounds.

It does make a constant motor sound, but not too loud. While driving, the road noise cancelled it out.

It doesn't completely block sound, like at the gym I can still hear people's feet pounding on the treadmill. That said, I don't think anyone should be using headphones if they're cycling on the road.

I have a full face, but I imagine the wind noise with the boom mic might be too loud. When I am traveling on the freeway at 65 to 70 MPH, the wind noise for whomever I am talking to can loud at times. The speakers on the inside would probably still sound pretty good. This is just my opinion mind you.

I haven't had that problem. I have been up to 70 mph on the freeway and no trouble. The noise from a soft top at that speed would cover up any noise, but the seal seems good anyway.

It's loud enough to hear if in your pocket. I sold my bike but I do remember it was loud enough that got on my nerves sometimes so I muted it.
