outside friendly??? Can this be taken outside (think patio party or camping) safely? Love Bose audio but worried about damaging it...

Question

OBL2 · Accepted Answer

Yes, each weekend we take the speaker outside to the back yard porch. If I'm using my Mac Book as the audio source, I leave the Mac in the kitchen and speaker out side. It works great in the garage. I say if you keep it from getting wet, there are no problems I see.

That's the primary use for my speaker, neighborhood gatherings and evenings out, a little dust and wind has yet to affect the speaker itself or the sound. It's tipped over a couple of times and no scratches or problems at all.

My previous model (SLI) went to the beach, camping and on every single international trip for three years. Other than some sand in the crevices, it has never failed me. Would not recommend getting wet, although this model seems more splash proof than the SLI

Yes it can. It is solidly built and pretty rugged. You can also get covers for it as well if you are worried about scratching it.

Yes...have used it outside many times

Bose Support · Answer

This portable speaker is great to use for outdoor listening in the context you describe. We offer a number of protective cases for the speaker if you want to guard against bumps and scratches when placing it outdoors.

The speaker is not built to be rugged or weather resistant, but as long as you do not leave it outside for extended periods or attempt to use it in adverse weather conditions (rain, snow, etc.) you should have no problem.

Hope this helps!
