Comment: Delta Airzound Bike Horn Ok this horn does everything they say it does it's loud and it's easy to install I'm not sure how many times you can use it on one charge I haven't used up the first charge yet and man it's a high pitch and loud did I say loud...
David. Customer Rating: Summary: TOO LOUD Comment: This product is EVIL and anyone using it should be shot. And I will. This is just too loud to be allowed. Get a nice bell instead. They are cheeper too. Customer Rating: Summary: Obnoxiously loud... wonderful Comment: I've had this product for a several years and use it only occasionally.
What I like:
It is VERY loud and will definitely get the attention of people in cars who are text messaging, reading a book, eating their breakfast, or otherwise aren't paying attention. That is great for commuters who know that with the advent of cell phones and blackberries, distracted drivers are as common as mosquitoes in summer.
Despite being made of plastic, the unit has held up for over 3 years of occasional use and still keeps a charge of air without leaking.
What I don't like:
I can't mount the horn close enough to my brakes/shifters that I can activate the horn without taking my hand off the brakes. Unfortunatley, it is exactly when I need the horn that I also need to be ready on the brakes. Wish the horn activation button could be separated from the horn unit so it could fit closer to the brake handles.
I want the horn when I'm commuting but not so much when I'm on a training ride. I'd like to be able to put it on and take it off the bike easily. The mounting mechanism for the horn unit takes time to mount and dismount which is a hassle. So, mostly I don't use the horn anymore. Wish it had a friendlier mechanism for mounting/dismounting.
Finally, this isn't a problem with the horn, it is a problem with how I see some people using it. The horn is VERY loud, which makes it valuable for use with people in cars who aren't paying attention. OTOH, using it as you come up behind people on a jogging/bike path is likely to scare the pants off them. Using it in that way is not likely to win friends for the biking community. So, if you use this, please use it wisely.
Customer Rating: Summary: Delta Airzound Airhorn Review Comment: I have had the Airzound Airhorn for a little over a year now. What i can say is the fact that it is very loud(123DB)..it can be filled to 95PSI..but I only recommend 80-85 PSI. It really gets people's attention when you use it while cycling..to warn drivers when backing out of driveways or at intersections. The mount however..is not the best. You have a very small opening to work with..and if your not careful it can break. But once you get it to where you need it..it will not come off. I have tried moving it with all my strength..and I have not been able to budge it since the screw goes into the nut very snug and tight. If you use this alot..then dont expect it to last long. About 30 short blasts and it will run out of air..or 10 long blasts. To get ALOT more use out of it..simply unscrew the black cap..hook it up to a 1 liter bottle and you have enough air to last for a few days of constant use..as long as you dont exceed 90 PSI. I think this will last a long time..and long as you keep it in one spot..and dont go above 95PSI or else it will blow and thats the end of that. Overall great horn. 4 Stars.
