I think Airzound's a brilliant idea and I do own one and think I have benefited from it.
If I was a bike shop I'd be embaressed to sell it. It doesn't fit properly to either of my bikes - the fixture is plain crap.
Also, for me, I could use it to try and make someone aware early on or tell someone off after. If I had to stop or swerve quickly I would still have to yell as I can't place it in a position that doesn't result in me moving my hands of the bars.
I have found it useful on roundabouts when you can see people thinking "can I, can't I?". I also found it useful the other day when someone next to the bus lane had signaled the car across because of traffic and the guy didn't look before pulling out and was blocking me. I honked until he looked and then he just wondered why I was honking him for potentially cutting me up.
There is a problem with the amount of air. I don't know if mine leaked or I didn't pump it properly but the other day it was very quiet when I needed it and it didn't have much pressure. When fully charged it will make people jump. One review I saw of it said "have you ever seen someone try to open their sunroof with their head?".
I got mine for £20.45 off the internet, which was the cheapest mail order I could find. I would recommend people get them, just to realise it's basically a prototype product.
