Rating: Summary: Not bad Review: I bought these speakers because we were looking to replace the behemoth tower speakers that came with our stereo, but didn't have the money to really get the best. I'll admit that I was a bit daunted by the price -- who knows what you'd get. But after reading the reviews, I just couldn't pass them up.At first, I was very impressed with the sound. After listening to a wider variety of music, I realized that the speakers are good... not great. But, you know, they really are impressive for forty dollars. I'm not an audiophile by any means. I did notice, however, that the sound is a bit "thin." I was hoping for something a bit richer, especially on the bass end. We're going to keep them. They're great for what we need them for and, if we decide to upgrade to better speakers in the future, these will be *perfect* for outdoors.
Rating: Summary: Awesome sound Review: I bought these speakers for my outdoor back porch. I couldn't believe the quality,considering the price I paid. I was calling people to recommend these speakers the minute, I heard them. These speakers are loud enough to fill up my back porch and my back yard.
Rating: Summary: Great for $28 Review: I got a pair open box at Sears for $28 and some change. These are on my patio and being driven by a Harman Kardon AVR325 receiver. The sound is hollow but pleasing. Nowhere near the sound quality of the Polk speakers in my home theater but those were about $100 a piece. These will not make good mains nor will they make good surround speakers for any type of home theater system. They work great as a sound solution for a deck, patio, garage or other common area.
Rating: Summary: Best bang for your outdoor audio buck Review: I have a screened in porch pre-wired for outdoor speakers.. putting in a pool and needed a decent set of speakers for that poolside, tiki-bar, parrot-head ambiance. Based on the reviews I read here, I decided to give these a try. I'm very glad I did. OK, we're not talking Bose here, after all, look at the price. On the other hand, I'm fairly picky about sound quality. These little speakers are just a great value. Really nice sound.. seem to be well made.. easy to install. Definitely recommended for background party sound.
Rating: Summary: Good Value Review: I have been enjoying these speakers outside by my pool for several months now, and the quality of the sound is excellent, particularly given the reasonable price. I'm sure you can get better performance, but it will cost much more. These speakers are a rare find in today's business world -- something that is actually a good deal....
Rating: Summary: Nice for backgroud yard music Review: I live in the city and mounted these speakers under the eave of my garage; the sound fills up my small yard area nicely & I'm quite happy with the purchase. The sound quality is very nice for low to mid-volume listening (think dinner party on the patio, suntanning, etc.) Over christmas we even turned them on to listen to Christmas music while hanging decorations and stuff, very festive -- the neighbors loved it! Overall these are pretty good speakers, especially for the low price. The other reviews are accurate with respect to their performance at high volumes -- if you want to really rock out the neighborhood, these may not be for you but overall my family is really very happy with these. My husband complained a little about the mounting brackets being flimsy but I don't see a problem, they've been hanging securely since September!

Rating: Summary: There GREAT Review: I purchased these speakers to try out, and they are great, I am going to replace the traditional speakers on the shelf and on the floor and mount these on the wall, out of sight out of mind. I am so pleased that I am going to order another pair!!!!
Rating: Summary: Good Bathroom Speakers Review: I read an earlier review that these speakers have to be protected from weather somewhat when used outdoors, so I thought they'd make fine speakers for the bathroom, and I was right.
