Great sound, worth the extra few dollars
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, Worth the extra few dollars over other mid level outdoor speakers. Powering it with an older analog receiver around a new pool install. Can't wait to hear them when jobs finished and upgraded to new digital receiver. I agree with another reviewer, should come with a bracket to mount under the eaves. Tip for this is a trip to the hardware store for a set of decorative shelf brackets and S/S lag bolts to secure out in the weather,

Good Outdoor Speakers
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These replaced some plant speakers that have been been going down hill for years. They installed easily, look good and sound great. Pandora now fills our screen porch and garden pretty much 24/7. I've yet to be disappointed with Bose products...

Excellent Outdoor Speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have chosen BOSE speakers as my first choice for the last 30 years, starting with my BOSE 901s. The BOSE 151SE are an ideal speaker for an outdoor patio environment as we use them for, excellent quality and sound features that are not overpowering. The installation requires little more than mounting a bracket, attaching the speaker and plugging it into your system; I was done in less than 30 minutes. The speakers blend into the environment and are barely noticeable; unless someone is asking where that awesome sound is coming from!

Powerful and Excellent Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system complemented the Soundtouch system in my patio. I used this speaker to extend my existing 251 system to cover my outdoor spa area. Excellent sound and easy to install.

Repeat customer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased my second set of Bose 151 speakers. After 15+ years of midwestern year-round climate exposure, one of my previous pair expired (I now have a spare speaker) and I unhesitatingly bought a new pair. The sound quality is excellent and, though they are mounted only 1 foot below the fence top, the sound stays in my yard and does not disrupt the neighbors or attract any passers-by to join the party. Well worth the price.

Pool/Patio Speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for an outdoor pool/patio area. Overall I am pleased with the purchase. I decided on Bose after a very positive experience with Bose Customer Service for another product. Given the 5 year warranty I should have nothing to worry about for the next few years. These are paired with a Yamaha AV receiver using 14GA speaker wire. And input is from my cable box but mostly from a Google Chromecast devices. Sounds quality is good but base is a little light. These speakers have a dynamic range given audio characteristics of a pool/patio area. My neighbors directly behind me can hear the music some days. It's clear enough for them to enjoy or dislike depending on the genre. When mounted properly (see below) the entire pool area (and yard) is filled with music without having to blare the volume. Regarding mounting, it's important to follow the install guide and mount these horizontally and not vertically as the pictures depict. And do not to point the speakers at each other. Otherwise, you will not enjoy the "Stereo Everywhere" experience these speakers can produce. Slick mounting brackets (and hardware) are included but was unable to use based on my install location. I found most third-party mounts, given the appropriate weight rating, are compatible. I tried the Rocketfish mounts but given the plastic components (and speaker price) I decided to locate some metal mounts for a more secure connection.

Very good speakers if you don't mind the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Bose 151 to complement my three season porch. Visually they blend right in and provide an alternative to the traditional box/square looking speakers. Performance wise the sound is very clear and crisp. At higher volume though you can tell a subwoofer is needed to truly complement these speakers. But if you not planning on pushing the limits on your equipment then these should do just fine. The one negative is the price but these are Bose after all so you know what your getting yourself into.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Best Buy had the speakers in stock.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bose Speakers can weather the weather with great sound. Color Never fades due to double coating. Only negative - swivel brackets need to be metal, not plastic for better support.

Asked by bosequestions.
- A:Answer Thank you for your question. The 151 SE speakers are compatible with any amplifier or receiver which outputs between 10-200 watts per channel and 4-8 ohms. We do not recommend any particular brands over another. Whichever receiver in your price range with necessary features falling within these specifications should work well for you.

Q: QuestionWould the Pioneer DEH-2550UI receiver work with these speakers?, thanks
Asked by SebastianOlaya.
- A:Answer Glad you asked! As the receiver specifies speakers that are over 50 watts and 4-8 ohms are required, at 10-100 W per channel, 4-8 ohms the 151SE will be a perfect fit.

Q: Questioncan these speakers be hooked up to flat screen tv?I have a 32'' flat screen tv for out side viewing in my rv. can these speakers be hooked up to the tv or do i still need a receiver
Asked by scuba steve.
- A:Answer Thanks for your question. The 151SE speakers are passive and will require a receiver to power them. They cannot be connected directly to your TV. The audio output of your TV would connect to an available input on the receiver which will pass audio to the speakers. The 151SE speakers are compatible with a receiver with an output between 10-100 Watts Per Channel, 4-8 Ohms.

Q: QuestionAre the bose 151 se speakers compatible wirh the bose tv 5 soundbar
Asked by Augusto.
- A:Answer Thank you for your question. No, the Solo 5 TV Sound System was engineered as a standalone sound bar. It does not have the capability to add additional speakers. The 151 SE speakers are passive (non-powered) and require a connection to a powered amplifier/receiver that will provide 10-100 W per channel, 4-8 ohms. We hope this helps! - Brian

Q: Questionare the speakers battery operated? rechargeable?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer These speakers are designed to work with a non-Bose audio receiver. For portability, we would recommend our SoundLink line of speakers that have a battery and connect to a smartphone or tablet without a wired connection.
