    I was expecting the usual beautiful rich tones that I am used to, but not with these speakers. I bought two pair that I am replacing with some Proficient AW650.

    Great Speaker with Awesome Design

    I was looking for good outdoor speaker with good sound and Beat Buy had several to choose from. After my review there was only one speaker to choose. The Bose have superior sound with better range. The sleek design sets them apart visually and allows them to mounted is smaller areas. The mounting brackets are a great and easy system to use and look better than the competitors. And lastly they have the best warranty, that I’ll need it with Bose. I’ve had my Bose 301’s for 18 years and they still sound great. Great Purchase

    I have the BOSE 321 inside, Bose shelf speakers on my desktop and Bose car audio in my SUV. Now, I have Bose outside by my pool. The nice thing about these Bose outdoor speakers are that you do not have to turn up the volumn loud to punch the sound through outside, you can have conversational talk and still get nice quality music and sound. The are easy to set up, mount nicely and sound great! Thanks.

    Good product, with very good sound quality and design. Easy to install and looks really nice on exterior of the house. Only problem is the wiring connection that are made of plastic, so are quite fragile. One of the blots came broken in my pack...

    The speakers work very well with the Rocketfish wireless system. Very good sound, slightly lack base. Very easy to install. The remote is a plus. Would recommend to anyone. (don't forget to buy speaker wire to connect the reciever and transmitter). Only have had for approximately one month

    These speakers sound spectacular on my front porch. I didn't realize that I wouldn't need nearly as much power as these can put out, so I probably could have gone with cheaper speakers. But I'm not complaining. Installation was relatively simple as well.

    My family loves these speakers. We have 1 pair for the deck and another pair under the deck for use by our pool. They look great and sound good too. Do not expect alot of base but do expect good crisp sound for outdoor use.

    I love this product. It has great sound, you can pick it up and take it any where. It has great sound, good volume, ect. I wish it had an option of having batteries so you could take it to the beach or on a picnic with you in case there was no electricity. I use it at work, and at home. Best little system, and I took my time in shopping around, and tested them all out before buying.

    Bad speakers for a Boat

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased these speakers for my boat and installed December 2013. Product description indicate application for boat use. Not happy with the bass sound of these but was OK. Speakers are hooked to a power amp. I have been a musician in bands running sound for years so everything appropriate wattage/ohms/amps, etc. Problem speaker went out March 2014. Had to bring into a dealer under Bose direction, they rebuilt and charged me $28. In May 2015 a driver went out again and could not get a part for less than $100. They DID NOT LAST 2 YEARS. I have had cheaper speakers on my boat lasting 6 years. Thought I would enhance sound quality with Bose. Nope didn't happen and so DISSAPPOINTED with product life. I recommend buy something else.

    Amazing Speakers!

    These speakers are great! I have 4 of them, and have them setup to expand my Bose Lifestyle system. I have two of them setup outside in the backyard and the other two I recently moved inside. They work great both inside and outside, only thing is they get dirty pretty quick outside from pollen and dust build up.
