I was looking for something inexpensive to quickly install on my front walk and driveway to greet guests during the holiday season. I ended up buying some green spaceship looking things from Amazon, which consisted of two full range coaxial speakers, each inside a 360 degree sound dispersing enclosure, and a subwoofer in an identical enclosure. The three pieces ran me about $300. It was awful. The sound quality was poor, the bass was weak to the point that I wouldn't even call it a subwoofer, and my wife thought they were ugly, to which I agreed with her. I really liked the rock looking speakers but finding inexpensive ones concerned me, as I didn't want something cheap looking with similar sound quality as the spaceships. I looked at the Niles and Stereostone ones, but was reluctant to spend $1000 on them. I stumbled upon these, read the reviews, and took a chance, and boy am I glad I did. The first pair I put in to service the driveway, where there are no real high shrubs to hide the spaceships, and I was so impressed, I bought another pair, and ripped the spaceships out. In the end, the whole deal cost me $550, which in my eyes is still a bargain, even if I had only bought 4 speakers, but I have 7. I'll try to recoup my losses on the spaceships, so I can buy more of these rocks for the back yard, to go along with my Niles GSS10 in ground sub I got for Christmas.

I bought these on sale which was nearly half off. At the price I paid, I didn't expect the world, but was pleasantly surprised. The frequency range makes them a little light on the bass. This wasn't too big an issue for me since I'm putting in ground subwoofers. I purchased 2 pairs placed in the corners of my yard with a sub in between each pair. First time I fired it up, I was really surprised at how nice they sounded. Good highs, nice mids, a little tweaking on the crossover and now the blend real nice with the subs. Don't hesitate on buying these. I'm very happy with the performance. They look to be nicely constructed. Only had them up and running for about a month now but definitely no regrets here.

I purchased these for my backyard pool area. They are powerful enough to be heard from the front of the house. The kids also love them because they are hidden in the yard.

Customers enjoy the sound quality, durability, and price of the Simulated Rock Outdoor Speakers. They appreciate that the speakers are weather-resistant and easy to set up. While some customers wish the speakers were wireless, others find that the sound quality is lacking at high volumes.
