Speakers instead of earphones: The Cy-Fi wireless music box brings iPod music to any bike ride. The device is not exactly cheap.
It may be interesting for some to listen to music while cycling from the MP3 player – in fact, it is firstly a risk to acoustically off from the world, and secondly it fails in this way against the traffic regulations. A, attached to the handlebar speakers avoid such problems – the car radio so no one is bothered.
Especially when the whole thing is resolved as easily as in the Cy-Fi. Here, the fact remains iPod in your backpack. The speaker relates music wirelessly from the player, and buttons on the speaker can also affect playback. The manufacturer utilizes a proprietary technology that will work even more efficient than Bluetooth. The stated battery life is six hours at medium volume in any case realistic.
Too loud you should Cy-Fi settings but also because of the sound begins to rattle much. Anyone who wants to avoid the coupled better to have a second speaker to the iPod – up to four Cy-Fis make use of a player. Since a distance of up to ten meters is possible, could you also supply a complete family of wireless cycling in this way with sound. If you can afford it: Pro Cy-Fi covered by the supplier of test equipment, the company Sowaswillichauch, at just under 140 euros.
Minor complaint: the wireless adapter for the iPod sits a bit loose at the docking port. When packing the player needs to be paid so that the adapter does not solve the road. The Cy-Fi is also iPhone compatible. When taking a call, it switches from the good – unfortunately it can not be used as a speakerphone. The manufacturer also provides the way to a variant for Bluetooth mobile phones.
CONCLUSION: ALMOST AS EXPENSIVE AS AN IPOD
The price is the Cy-Fi my main point of criticism – for 140 Euros you get even an iPod nano. If you are traveling with a music player on the bike often, the security should win however be worth.
