Just make sure if you put them on the handlebars they do not obscure the instruments or your controls. There are plenty of Bluetooth motorcycle speakers now on the market from as low as $100 with 600 watts of power, such as these from Boss. But that should not be much of a problem because it also comes with a wireless one.” “The downside of this product though is its short cables, especially for the remote. “You can also play songs through it using an SD card, flash drive, 3.5 mm compatible music devices, and Bluetooth. “The speakers are waterproof although the peripherals are not, so you have to cover them with some plastic.

They tend to be inaudible above the wind noise at highway speeds or when wearing a full-face helmet. While we love riding to our favourite tracks, we are not big fans of speakers on motorcycles.
