Crystal clear sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Have had them a few weeks out on a 35’x30’ deck facing a windy marsh, about 12’ high. The sound is phenomenal- what I expected from Bose and a bit more. Great frequency range for all types of music! Easy to mount on siding, easy to connect and disconnect with banana plugs. One flaw - the mounts allow for vertical adjustments only, can not direct them left or right so you have to fanagle your mount to set up a sweet spot on non-square spaces. If you think you need two pairs like I thought, you should try one pair first!

Great for the backyard!More expensive but worth it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.I have two sets of Yamaha speakers (Model:NS-AW390WH) and then added these to my backyard. What a difference they made. Brought a bunch of low end to the yard and can handle everything the receiver has to offer. The Yamaha's break up but the Bose just get louder. Might have to look into getting one more set of these to complete the sound system. I'm running the system in 7 channel stereo, with the two Bose as the main fronts, pair of Yamaha's as the high front channel with the remaining Yamaha's as the rear set.

Bose... There is no substitute!
||Posted .The 251's have been installed on the ceiling of my patio and are accompanied by a pair of Bose Freespace speakers around the pool. I have it all driven by the Bose amp and fed by the Soundtouch bluetooth integrated devices for a total Bose outdoor solution. Words just cannot express the sound quality and listening pleasure as an audiophile that my family and i are experiencing!

Best outdoor speakers for the price!!!
||Posted .This is my third pair of Bose speakers that I use in our outdoor garden. First pair was twelve years ago, second pair six years ago and now the third pair. We expanded the garden and needed the music. All of the speakers are still working and are left outside all year. It is a delight for us to work and enjoy the garden all year around even in the harsh Ohio winters. Who knows, the fourth pair may come next year.

Bose
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Installed these outside for my back deck area. Plenty of power and nice crisp sound. May be a little low on the bass but otherwise very pleased. Purchased a Yamaha a/v receiver to driver them.

Best outdoor speakers! Totally worth the $$$
||Posted .This was an upgrade to my outdoor speaker setup. I originally had a soundbar with subwoofer, then a 5.1 htib but once I got those two installed, nothing else compares. Easy setup, came with brackets all I had to get was speaker wire. I also installed a volume control knob and they do not crackle during adjustment. Thank you boose!

Q: QuestionNeed to know the difference between Bose® - 251® Environmental Speakers and Bose® - 151® Environmental Speakers
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer If you are looking for quality speakers that you can use outside, then the Bose 151 and the Bose 251 are both good options to meet your need. Made by one of the leaders in the home speaker marketplace, these two models have a lot to offer. To help you decide if the Bose 151 or the Bose 251 is right for you, we’ve compared the two outside speakers in the categories of features, audio, what’s included and dimensions. Features The Bose 151 and the Bose 251 are both a two speaker system designed to withstand the environmental challenges of using speakers outside. Both have undergone environmental testing which has exposed the speakers to sunlight, heat, rain, ice, water and salt. Because Bose understands you might not want to have your speakers take up valuable table space, both the Bose 151 and the Bose 251 come with weather-resistant brackets and hardware so that you can place your speakers on outdoor walls and know that all of the mechanics will be able to withstand the elements. Audio Both the Bose 151 and the Bose 251 have the same articulated array speaker display which means that the drivers are positioned to provide a large sound field, which is needed for outdoor listening. The biggest difference between the Bose 151 and the Bose 251 is in the woofers. The Bose 151 has 3 drivers that measure 2.5 inches each while the Bose 251 has 2 5.25 inch drivers in each speaker. The Bose 251 speakers boast a more powerful bass. What’s Included The Bose 151 comes with the 2 speakers as well as a number of pieces to mount the speakers themselves. These pieces include 2 mounting brackets, 2 bracket locking screws, 2 bracket to speaker screws, 4 wood screws, 2 lock washers, 4 ¼ inches lock washers and 4 wall anchors. The Bose 251 comes with the 2 speakers as well as mounting hardware. This hardware includes 8 screws, 8 plastic anchors, 4 knobs, 2 brackets and self-adhesive rubber feet. Bose also recommends purchasing speaker wire but this is not included in any of the purchases. Dimensions The Bose 151 speakers each measure 12.5 inches x 4.5 inches x 6 inches while the Bose 251 speakers each measure 13.5 inches x 5.8 inches x 8 inches. Both the Bose 151 and the Bose 251 come in either black or white. The Bose 151 can be mounted both vertically and horizontally while the Bose 251 can only be mounted vertically.

Q: QuestionHello, I was hoping to put these above our outdoor spa as it it getting a bit too much to cart out my HK audio system every time although the sound is awesome. Can they be run via the sonos amp without a hard wired speaker cable connection?
Asked by Goodgroove.
- A:Answer Hello. Thank you for your question! The 251 Environmental Speakers can connect to most receiver/amplifiers. For a wireless connection to your amp, you will need a 3rd-party wireless speaker adapter kit. Here is an example that would work: http://bit.ly/2xJahcv . We hope this helps!

Q: QuestionI bought 3 pairs bose251 I have crown amplifier xli1500 2 channel 8 ohm dual power is 350 w per channel 8 ohm bridged power is 900 w per channel Can I use the amplifier for 3 pair bose251 r I need to get another more power amplifier
Asked by Sura.
- A:Answer Hey Sura, Thanks for reaching out, great question. The 251 Environment speakers would not be compatible with that receiver because 350w would be too much and potentially damage your speakers. The requirements for the 251 speakers are 10w min - 200w max. We recommend that you consult Crown Amplifier for compatible speakers.

Q: QuestionWhat is the RMS watts for each speaker?
Asked by Minimiklo.
- A:Answer As most of you know Bose usually doesn't provide that information. The receiver I'm using is pushing out 140 and if I play them in two channel stereo they hold up pretty good. You have to remember they are outdoor speakers and do not carry a ton of bass, but do put our much more than most other outdoor speakers.

Q: QuestionHi , can I connect subwoofer to a receiver while using these speakers. As I think these speakers have good sound but lack bass . Thanks
Asked by Vlad.
- A:Answer Hi Vlad. Thanks for the question! The Bose 251 Environmental Speakers were engineered to provide pure and deep bass on their own. But, if you feel you need more, this is certainly possible! These speakers can be connected to any receiver that supplies 10-200 W per channel, 4-8 ohms. If your receiver has a subwoofer/LFE output, you can add any subwoofer you'd like! We hope this helps!
