Default Handlebar Mounted Speakers for a Softail

IYO, what are the best overall handlebar mounted speakers?
I’m looking for something with clear sound definition and Bluetooth capabilities that of course, can be heard over loud pipes. I expect to loose some quality at high speeds.

Hard to find space on the handlebars, the best setup I've seen like you are looking for is a buddies Road King, he mounted his on his engine guard bars. it's no Rockford Fosgate, I think his are Boom? But if I had this need, I'd look for keeping them off the handle bars his look like a much better option.

Just had HD BOOM speakers put on my wife's Freewheeler, is Bluetooth, one control box, installed in about 1.5 hours, and sounds nice. Looks pretty good too. Wife is thrilled, the look on her face when I fired it up for her with her phone on it (for tunage) was worth the price of admission. And she says it sounds fine, even with her pipes.

They come in chrome as well.
