REVIEWS Average rating (from 11):I was a bike messenger in Califonia and my airzound saved my rear more than once. Usually all it took was a quick tap of the horn to make a quick chirp loud enough to get some idiot's attention. Also works great when deflecting squarrels, pigeons, stray dogs and day-dreaming pedestrians. natedread 9/1/10 This is a great product and the quality of it is great! this is amazing and can help save lives, but the only problem is that mine didn't come with a bracket so i can't do anything so i hope delta can help me with this problem, overall i enjoy this product and recommend it! Rcpkustoms 8/16/10 These are brilliant I have 2 one in England and one in Thailand where I ride my bike quite hard especially in the Town many taxi drivers and Motorcycle taxi drivers now know me and give me a wide berth and a wave and often get me to scare their sleeping mates when I stop at conre lights. the English one has just failed after being on a bike for 5 or 6 years left outside in all weathers and never even wiped dry all bikes should come with these and a mini pump by LAW and the money that the NHS saves the bosses could give themselves even bigger golden handshakes when they retire :-((
Just how much do you value your body and would like it to be still working at the end of a hard ride
for this price it's no brainer Jing-Jo 8/6/10 Excellent, required accessory for any serious urban cyclist. This has saved me Fabian Rodriguez 6/21/10 These are great! I have avoided multiple accidents with this horn, and have one on each of the family bikes. They are loud and effective - cheap life insurance.
The mounting system can be a little tricky, and I did end up breaking one on a very cold day. A wiretie held everything together very well for the remainder of the horn's life. It seems they last about 5 years. chris 6/4/10 I have purchased 3 of these since 2007, none has lasted for more than one summer. Unless you go around playing with it and blasting every little while as a toy you will be lucky to get a dozen toots on it. The trashiest part is the tubing. I guess they designed it for people who only take their bikes out a couple times over the summer then leave them hanging in the garage for the next 50 weeks. They don't do well if you ride in the sun or in the rain. If you just want to goof off at a game or something go for it. But if you are looking for a good quality horn for a regularly used bicycle, don't waste your money. gene 5/2/10 I had an air zound horn for a number of years, and it was really loud. But like most of the reviews that I've read lately, the horn does have a Mickey Mouse clamping system. I managed to use some pieces of duct tape to re-inforce the clamp. The duct tape was used to hold the clamp to the rest of the horn.
But after six years on my trike, the whole unit got kinda brittle, and so I discarded it. I'm planning on getting another one soon. It's the best one out there.
Recently I bought an electric Megahorn....it's rated at 105 db. I can tell you that it's not worth taking out of the package. Had I known how weak it is, I would have sent it back.
The only place where it's loud is in an enclosed space like a garage, but out side, it's no good. 4/12/10 I live in Chincha Alta, Peru. I ride the Pan American Highway regularly, with a lot of international truck and bus traffic, not to mention gazillions of little taxis and moto-taxis. The Pan American is none too wide in Chincha, and Airzound has kept me from getting squeezed off the road more than once! It's also great for all those little taxis that tend to open doors, flip a U-turn or start up after picking up a fare without looking! I recommend it for any cyclist riding in traffic! gordy 4/4/10 What a fantastic product! Its small, lightweight, and loud. When it runs out of air, a few pumps with my bike pump and its ready to go. It was easy to install and took no more room than a standard water bottle. The horn is inconspicuous on my handlebars but is exactly what I need to get the attention of the driver pulling into my lane with their windows closed and radio blaring. Carol S 3/21/10 I can guarantee that any motorist that does not hear this horn is stone deaf. It is sooo loud that I could still hear it with the windows rolled up, the stereo on and with the A/C running. Would I buy it again ? You bet I will!!! Mark Sleeper 3/12/10 This is a fantastic product for any cyclist needs to be heard. People driving cars are extremely distracted lately with cell phone conversations, GPS nav, and texting. To get your share of a drivers attention this product is an absolute necessity. This compressed air horn has consistently stopped cars/trucks rolling through stop signs without seeing me. This horn also works well on aggressive dogs in rural areas. I recommend all cyclists to be seen with lights and reflectors and heard with the Delta Airzound. Nothing else comes close. Logan 9/17/09 |
