Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had bought A pair years ago for my old house. When I moved I just had to take them with me and replace with less expensive klipsh for the buyers. I tried them out for the few weeks before I moved and did not even come close to the quality of the b&w. I now installed these in my new home and bought another pair of the same so they all match and have equal sound distribution. I have 4 of these now hooked up to a Sonos amp and they sound amazing. FYI the Sonos amp is 250w total so these speakers are getting 62.5 watts each and are way louder then you would need. Unless you don’t like your neighbors. The speaker says 100 watts peak power . No way do you need that much power . I keep these speakers with the volume way lower then they can handle right now as it is. But they have plenty of room for more .

Best outdoor speakers I've heard. Was shopping around to replace some older Boston Acoustics speakers for my patio. I made a short list and listened to as many as I could in stores. None came close to the B&W. Night and day difference over my previous speakers. The clarity and fullness of the sound is unrivaled by any other outdoor speaker I've heard. Bass is more than adequate, although bassheads have other options to look into with some significant tradeoffs

Very happy with them they sound nice. They got a full spectrum. Nice little bump in the low end. At $200 they’re a little pricey, but I’m very happy with them

Best sounding outdoor speakers I’ve ever had. Love the design and the simplicity of the installation. Definitely my go to speaker system in the future.

Excellent speakers with surprisingly great base. Easy to install. My 60 watt bluesound amp drives them very well. I have a video review on YouTube. Bowers and Wilkins AM1

These are great! If you need to fill a big space with some big sound go ahead and spend the money! I like the setup too. It's unique hardware that I enjoyed putting together. Weatherproof, of course. Mine are out by the pool! Sounds great!

These are by far the best outdoor speakers I have ever purchased. I've had Bose, Klipsch and infinity. These blow them away. Definitely worth every penny.

They are the best outdoor speaker I’ve ever heard,vastly blows away the competition!

Got these for our outdoor tv. Great sound and plenty of volume. Spendy but worth it.

I really liked the sound of these in the store. I installed them outdoors using the old cables and the sound is not as good as I had heard at the store. I am not sure whether it is from the cables or not. It is not easy for me to change the wires.

Let's be real. When it comes to interior and exterior speakers, your choices on which speakers to buy go on and on and on and on.... PLEASE...stay away from the speaker section that's out in the open and get your rear end over to the Magnolia room!!! BB has a Magnolia room for a reason....and that "other section" full of less than $100 speakers is there for a reason (buy an inferior product and you'll be back in a couple years buying another...aaaaand another - sorry BB, you are doing the right thing for the person who has a budget in mind, but the Magnolia room is the only place to buy GOOD quality speakers). You'll find the BEST long term, best sounding, highest quality speakers in the Magnolia room. Are they more expensive? Obviously! But, if you can understand the "once and done" method and if you live by it, you'll experience only the best...PERIOD. I picked up these speakers and installed them myself (for real...this isn't rocket science...anyone can do this...follow the directions!). Treble is phenomenal and the bass was surprising. Again, the guys at BB won't turn the speakers up full volume unless you insist. That's okay and all, but you need to hear the speakers at their best. The distortion that every speaker normally gets comes in at volumes that you will NOT listen to these exterior speakers at. I'm on the back patio right now listening to them and the sound quality is 2nd to none... I've had the others...Klipsch, Def Tech's, Polk, Yamaha... FINALLY, I was in a position to get the speakers I've always wanted and I'll NEVER look back! All the interior speakers are B&W's and now I have the entire house wired with the best that's ever been manufactured. Quality, clarity, durability, .... you won't be disappointed!

I've installed several outdoor speakers from various brands and these B&W speakers are by far the best in terms of installation, sound, and design. These use a single swing arm style mounting mechanism with integrated wiring and terminals. The way they mount is very unique compared to other offerings. The overall fit and finish give a very clean install. Keep in mind that prior install preparation and technique will always yield a flawless installation regardless of the speaker choice. The sound is incredible. If matched to a good amplifier with adequate power these will more than satisfy your sound needs. For their size, they provide a great amount of bass projection and clarity. In part due to the bass radiator design on the back of the speaker housing and the shape/construction of the housing. While these are not inexpensive, you are getting a well-crafted speaker that meets and exceeds all requirements for an outdoor speaker compared to others in this category.

Very happy with these speakers, very easy to install and they look and fit great just where we wanted them. Plan to purchase another set. Sound is fantastic. We installed them inside the house in our den.

Yes they are pricey but they are the best outdoor speakers I have ever owned. I've had both B&W WM and Polk Atrium 6. These are both fine speakers but are not in the same league. Installation is a breeze and you have to hear the sound for yourself, Plenty of bass great stereo imaging. Buy and enjoy!

Sound quality is outstanding. Great lows for an outdoor speaker and very clear sounding at low volumes. Installation was easy. Love the mounting system.

Installation was a easy. Amazing sound and quality. The only issue i had was that at this price there weren't any screws included to mount o the wall.

I have both white and black now. I am so impressed that I bought a pair for my porch and also the pool area. Fills the backyard with sound. Bass is amazing. Very easy to install and high quality. You won't regret this purchase.

I purchased these speakers to replace my outdoor Klipsch speakers that were good speakers. These B & W speakers far surpass the fidelity of my prior speakers. The audio quality is incredible and the bass output is surprising considering the size of these speakers. The bass is not overproduced but is tight and produces a nice thump. I work in the audio/visual industry and we have full concert line array speakers. With these B & W speakers installed, you feel like you have your own "smaller" concert venue in your own backyard!

got them almost half price which seem to be the right price for these. i definitely don't believe they were worth the 599 listed price. they sound pretty decent as long as you dont expect a whole lot of lower tones. they have pretty crispy high tones and good separation. midway power handling they do pretty darn good depending on what is pushing them. im running a simple Onkyo TXSR806 7.1 with smaller cube surrounds and a Velodyne DPS 10 inch Sub. definitely sounds good from a mid-range receiver. these BW'S sound best with dolby digital surround audio. im relatively happy with them

great bass, separation, and clarity and every volume level. Not a huge fan of the mount when using the vertical option, but not a big deal.
