I like to have some beats playing on the longer stretches of my commute, and until now it seemed like my only options were to either have barely audible sound on my phone mounted to my quad lock, or have a Bluetooth speaker dangling around and scuffing up my handlebar post, or being muffled in the side pocket of my bag. I could not find any quad lock compatible speakers and most of the ones I was looking for were not compatible with the adhesive mount adapter due to either being covered entirely in mesh, round, or very top heavy cylenders. I finally found a small, flat, cheap speaker on Amazon that has enough flat surface for the adhesive adapter. It works pretty well and the controls are well placed for when I pull up to a crowded intersection (may as well not subject folks to my suspect taste in music for longer than a second). We will see how long the adhesion works, and if the speaker itself can handle the vibration but at $15 US, I am not too I concerned with the risk.
This is the product. I have speakers that sound better, but this works perfectly for my use case. Hope it helps. https://a.co/d/aJ6DP9F

Get some headphones so everyone else isn’t forced to listen to your music.
I used headphones on transparency mode personally but I really don’t mind people listening to music out loud when cycling. It’s no different to people listening to music in their cars with the windows down- you hear it for about 3 seconds.
