I have them under a covered area, which protects them, and they seem more durable than my previous ones. I expect these Bose speakers to last for decades."

"Initially, I wasn't a big Bose fan, but I decided to try the 251 speakers based on their looks and positive reviews. After installation, I was pleasantly surprised by how great they sound! The build quality is excellent, and they were easy to install since I was using existing wiring. The sound is crisp and clear, with no distortion, even at high volumes. They are a huge upgrade over my previous outdoor speakers!"

"After reading numerous reviews and watching videos, I purchased these Bose 251 speakers for my wife's Christmas gift. It's now January 2023, and I wanted to share my thoughts after using them for a few seasons. The sound remains crystal clear, and they fill our entire backyard with music that feels like a concert. I would highly recommend these speakers to anyone looking for quality outdoor sound!"

"I bought a 2 pack of these adorable speakers. I haven't used them outside yet due to the heat, but I've been using them indoors almost daily. They work great while I exercise and I love watching Netflix with them. I can place them in different parts of the house to enjoy my audiobook anywhere. After over a month, I just charged them, and the battery life is impressive. They connect easily to my iPhone and sync with each other automatically. The lights are cute, and I will update with pictures once I use them outside. I definitely recommend them!"

"I love these so much that I bought another set. They have great sound and look fantastic, plus the battery lasts long. I even took them outside in the rain, and they performed perfectly since they are waterproof. Connecting and adjusting the volume is a breeze!"

"While the sound quality is decent, the speakers sound blown when turned up high. It took me a little while to get them to 'party pair,' but once I did, it was fun. The flame feature is entertaining, and we connected the speakers to our projector screen. They aren't a high-end product, but they work well overall."

“As an audiophile, I sought a decent sounding outdoor speaker for my pool area. I was impressed by the build quality considering Florida's harsh elements. The sound exceeded my expectations, offering a great mid-fi experience with realistic vocals and clean highs. While it's not for bass enthusiasts, it fills my 30ft x 50ft area nicely with a decent amp.”

“After replacing my Bose 151's, I couldn't be happier with these speakers. They deliver great sound quality with a rich tone and easy installation. I appreciate the low end and crystal clear mids and highs, making them an excellent value.”

"I spent days searching for outdoor speakers and finally found these Kickers. They deliver crisp sounds, nice bass, and amazing highs. I can't recommend them enough!"

"I was thrilled to find Kickers at Amazon! After installation, I enjoyed crisp, clear sound on my patio and outdoor kitchen, reminiscent of my younger days with Kickers. The quality remains impressive!"

"This is my second pair of speakers, and I think they are a smoking deal. I use them in my Jeep Wrangler with no top from October to April in Arizona. They’re compact, weather resistant, and sound great. I welded brackets to my roll cage for easy installation, and I made sure they’re hard to steal. I’m impressed with the audio quality and their versatility. At half the price of other brands, I highly recommend them!"

"I mounted these speakers on my back porch pergola, and they’re the perfect size. The 5-inch woofers provide enough bass for everything except deep, hard-hitting bass. The sound field they create is big and full, even in a noisy outdoor environment. Installation was a breeze, taking about five minutes without tools. I can't wait to see how they hold up in different weather conditions, but so far, I highly recommend them!"

"I decided to try these speakers for my PC. They’re not bad for the price. The sound is fairly accurate, but I’d appreciate a bit more high-end clarity since the tweeters are small. The bass isn’t as tight as I’d prefer, but I understand that it’s expected from lightweight speakers. Overall, they’re sufficient for my needs, though not studio monitor quality."

"I needed replacement speakers for my outdoor setup, and I'm thrilled with these. Installation was a breeze—just two bolts and some wiring.

I have faith in Polk's quality and hope they'll last for years!"

"After extensively researching speakers, I chose the Atrium 6s for my outdoor cabana pool bar. The sound quality is amazing—better than my previous Bose speakers, especially in the bass department. They held up well during our Christmas Eve party with loud music and karaoke. These speakers deliver more bang for your buck compared to Bose!"

"I was genuinely surprised by the fantastic sound quality of these speakers. I connected them to my four-channel receiver, and they sound amazing on my deck. With the adjustments I can make, they deliver great value for the price."

"While I’m not an audiophile, I appreciate good sound. These speakers perform well at a reasonable price. They deliver clear sound and handle a good volume, though I haven't tested their weatherproof features yet."

"I had to replace my old outdoor speakers, and these worked perfectly for me. I daisy-chained two of them and placed them in new spots, achieving excellent outdoor coverage. I’m very satisfied with my choice!"

"I bought these as a gift for a friend and installed them on his deck. They offer plenty of loudness and enough mid and low response for nice background music. While they can be a bit muddy in the lows, for $120, they’re fantastic. They look great and have held up well during rainy months."

"I replaced an old set of exterior speakers with these Yamahas and couldn't be happier. They deliver rich sound with volume to spare, transforming my backyard into a concert hall when I fire up the grill!"
