Has anyone on here heard anything about them or their products, I hate to say it but things just got real interesting, they are pricey but they sound super nice, of course I was inside and not on a bike

Very expensive and the response is not better than the HAT speakers and the Audio Frog cost 3 times as much for less performance not a win win situation, more like a loss(money cost) loss(less response) situation.
Very limited product line, it looks like a new start up high end company trying to make the most money from each unit sold.
I'll pass and stick with BT products and lifetime warranty.

If you go to there website and look up the specs and compare them to the BT (HAT) speakers specs you will see what I am referring to.

Make that two. . . Sensitivity is a show stopper for me. 88db. Probably sound pretty good in a car. On a bike. Not so much. In addition all their speakers are components with mid range woofers. Not good on a Bike.

I'm not a fan of paper cones, especially on a bike where weather is a consideration that most autos don't need to be worry about. Even a treated paper cone is still paper.

The BT speakers use paper cones, and according to what I have read about speakers, paper cones reproduce the sound more accurately than other materials.

Well great...one more thing for my paranoid *** to worry about, lol. I didn't see the cone material listed on the website just that they were waterproof. Wouldn't a waterproofing process, presumably coating the speakers, effect the reproductive characteristics of a paper cone? Now I'm curious of the effects. If so it must be something that can be counteracted with engineering because the volume and clarity on the BTs is nothing short of amazing.

I just thought everyone here knew that the BT (HAT) speakers had paper cones.
I didn't mean to ruin your day. Don't lose any sleep over this no matter what the BT speakers are made of as you said they sound amazing.
