While I wouldn't put it in "can't live without" category, I tried a bicycle speaker this year. There are places it made sense for me and places it didn't:
- Made sense on quiet country roads without much traffic and where I had good sight lines in my mirror
- Didn't make sense in heavier traffic, riding with others or in urban areas with cross streets.
I wasn't listening to music but instead would load a set of podcasts on my phone in the morning. I would then play them from a podcast app via bluetooth to a speaker on my handle bars. I didn't use it every day but I had enough quiet days e.g. on the great plains, where it was useful.
