Ok, so I moved into this house where the previous owner had wired everything a bit strangely. So after re wiring everything , tried to find the perfect small speaker to fit in a great room setting. Basically everything else was in wall but for the rear speakers had this huge been to deal with so needed something with a small foot print. Found these through some reviews and blogs and decided to go for it. They not only fit the area due to their small size and mount, they sounded terrific. I didn't need to paint them. They are an off white so blended perfectly into the walls. The mounts are great too.

I went to Best Buy looking for outdoor speakers to put in my back patio. I listen at the store to all their selection and I loved the Klipsch; since I have those for my home theater. Once I listen to these though I was pleasantly surprised how the range of sound reproduction was better than Klipsch; even the highs. Then I compared them to Bose and Bose was a big disappointment and they cost 3 times more. So I bought them and figured if they did not sound good in my patio I would return them. I love them! They are small, easy to install and fill my patio with beautiful music. Best of all they did were inexpensive. True bang for the buck.

the bracketry make these as cool as they sound. the shape of the speakers and their bracketry make these speakers unique for corner mounting. very unique and a must need in some situations where most other speakers wont compare. give these some high consideration if you are into custom mounting.

I have 4 of these on my patio. Great sound. Bass could be better but that is tough to do in an outdoor setting in general. I have to admit that I am under-powering them and that could be an issue. I will be purchasing and additional pair to cover the yard as well.

small size but surprisingly rich sound. Limited bass, of course, but for most outside applications (deck, gazebo etc) where the music will be mostly background level these speakers are superior. The included mounting options make this speaker very versatile

I bought these speakers to put out on my patio. I like how they had multiple mounting options which allowed me to place these in a corner area of the patio. The sound on these speakers is perfect for a patio. I was looking for something that would give some background noise while entertaining which these definitely do. They are also great if I want to crank them a bit when I am sitting out by myself. I got these when they were 50% off (49.99) a piece. It would be nice if they came in a pair like speakers normally do. I do not know who would want to buy just 1 speaker.

I purchased these speakers for my outdoor patio and they really blew me away! Originally went to purchase a pair of Yamahas but couldn't deny that these sounded much clearer. Compared to the Bose speakers, these speakers were pretty comparable and were much more reasonable. Very easy to mount and connect to the stereo system. Will be purchasing more when I expand the system!

We purchased this speaker to play music for the Allan Hancock softball team. They use it during practice and during games in the press box. So far the sound is great!

Mounted these upside down hanging from a porch. The straight mounting plate's screw holes do not line up with a 2x4 beam. Therefore could only mount using two screws. I am pretty sure its secure enough but if you are trying to put all 4 screws on a stud, beware.
Sound-wise it sounds great for being outdoors. These will not have the same amount of bass as having a sub-woofer but for being background music for a backyard, there is plenty of bass. Mids and Highs are very clear. Running them off an old Pioneer 5.1 receiver. Will be testing out later how these will work off a re-purposed car stereo deck and a computer power supply for backyard music.
Got theses at a sale price, essentially buy one get one free sale, and cannot beat that price. Maybe a little expensive if purchasing one at the full retail of $100 or so.

This is an excellent speaker that provided us with full sound for all our outdoors Patio and Garden activities.
This speaker can be easily concealed if painted or located in a corner ( the finish allows for paint and the shape allows corner mount)
We reviewed several speakers but they are normally sold in pairs, if you are looking for a one speaker sound for an outdoor area this may be a great way to go!

I purchased two of these to use in my computer controlled Christmas light display. I have over 28000 lights synchronized to music and I placed these on my front porch so, in addition to the people in cars who listen to my show broadcast through FM transmitter, locals that walk in our neighborhood can hear the music too !! They have great sound and plenty of power handling capability !!!

Good sound, excelent price, the speakers are sturdy enough to support outdoors, feels very heavy, the just one bad thing is the plastic ball rear bracket, you have to screw so hard in order to keep unmoving the speaker

I purchased these outdoor speakers and they were easy to hang up. Got them all hooked up and love listening to music in the back yard now. They sound great and look good hanging. Good Speakers for the price.

My first purchase was for a different pair of speakers, however, when I got them home, I realized that they did not hang under the eaves of the patio. I returned that pair and exchanged them for this speaker. This speaker had superior audio quality and looked a lot better than the original pair, but the only issue I was trying to justify was the extra money I had to pay. After I got them home and mounted under the eaves, the money did not matter any more. They mounted very easily with the included hardware, plus they sound and look MUCH better than the original pair.

the speaker looks and sounds great. the only drawback is that the speaker terminals are tiny and its kind of hard to get the speaker wire connected.

Very solid speaker. You do need to buy two of them. Only one comes in a box. I wish I could have got them in black but white isn't bad. I'm happy with the purchase.
