Samui Air Zound XL Rechargeable Horn

I recommend this product

Car drivers react as if you were one of their clueless brethren. If they start to drift into your lane or cut you up, the little beep is so car-like that it will often see them swerving sharply back out of your way. I use it very sparingly and still have a bell to alert pedestrians or whatever

A good, effective air horn that produced enough decibels to clear the path and warnprople of your presence. Fitting is a bit fiddly on the handlebars but overall very pleased

Ordered horn quick delivery but air was escaping out of bottle- emailed customer services gave me option of replacement or money back

I've had the same unit on my bike for seven years now with no problems whatsoever. Works just as well as it always did and it's so very LOUD!!! The original reservoir bottle is a little on the small side so I've swapped it with a 1.5L pop bottle clipped into a bottle cage on the bike frame and this lasts for months before it needs refilling. Even motorists with their windows wound up and the music on can hear it. Dozy pedestrians wandering out into the road jump out of their skins when I use it, which is hilarious to watch. Thoroughly recommended!

I already have two on other bikes. I only use then when I really need to because they are VERY loud. But when I do use them, I really am glad to have them!

It works perfect. Very very loud! Take care with pedestrians heart attacks! Plastic pieces are weak. Also the piece to the bike is made of weak plastic. You can improve the product with some imagination.

Brilliant Service and product.

I agree with other reviews that the horn is very loud and can't be matched. However, if you have drop handle bars which are oversized or oval shaped near the stem with thick bar tape along the rest, then this will not fit. The plastic clamp is not variable in size and is designed only to fit the narrow part of the tube. Fine for bikes with straight bars, but not drop bars.

Great product & it's very loud!!!!

Bought 4 of these now. They really work but don't expect more than about a year out of it. The high pressure tubing just cracks/punctures after about a year or so which means it just has to be all thrown in the bin.

Having used a succession of these units over many years, the Air Zound remains the best and most effective loud horn for cyclists available as even the doziest car and truck driver cannot help but hear it. It has the advantage being instantly recognisable as a familiar warning, unlike other loud battery operated sounders which emit a high pithed sound more akin to a burglar alarm or smoke detector.
Although lightweight, the plastic components are fragile which detracts from what otherwise is excellent product. If you a regular user/commuter don’t expect it to last indefinitely, before the moulding breaks/it starts leaking air/or just stops honking. My own experience is that 12 to 18 months of regular careful use is as good as it gets. At least the clamp screw these days is rustproof and doesn’t have to be cut off due to corrosion.
I continue to use an Air Zound, as I have been unable to find a durable alternative which is equally effective.

Does exactly what it says but the design leaves a lot to be desired. Snapped the body from the handlebar clamp, horn material too brittle. Shame about no UV resistance. Only get about 10 toots before volume drops off.

I echo the other comments. It is a great horn light weight but very loud. Much more effective than shouting and drivers actually take notice. It is not so good on dropped bars, however, as the handlebar mount is some way from the brakehoods, which is where your hands will probably be when you need to use the horn. I added a bar extension to bring it closer to the levers, but a remote trigger would be good.

oh yes this does the job nicely wakey wakey dozy motorists

Well designed piece of kit. Only negative is that they advise UV protection as an after thought given some of the earlier comments. If it lasts more than 12 months, it will be money well spent.

Excellent!
It's definitely improved since the last one I had, which unfortunately got punctured.

Works as advertised. The tube connecting the air canister to the horn is a little long and has the tendency to be where it shouldn't be, maybe a spiraling tube? I wonder if the horn works as well by really cold temperature, minus 20 Celsius???

A good piece of kit, nice and loud.

If Carlsberg made bike horns...

EXTREMELY loud.. even a short pip leaves your ears ringing if set at full power! Very lightweight. Easy installation though a handful more cable ties wouldn't have gone amiss. Looks discrete. Feel a lot safer riding with it and it's free to use again and again. Superb product, delivery both speedy and well packaged. Great.

This is very loud! However, my one melted in the sun. If you buy one, don't go anywhere hot.

As a cycle commuter I was a little disappointed by the fact that the horn loses air pressure over a few days, even without use.
However, I have had opportunity to use it and it has a similar effect on drivers as a car horn - it wakes them up!

The button itself is combined with the refill valve and horn, and so it quite large - I had some issues fitting it on my trike without it fouling the front wheels. I often clip it (sounding the horn) when I sit down or turn hard right.

I can only describe this p[roduct as superb. It does exactly as it says on the packaging
