    I had one of a pair of the same speakers go bad. Ordered a brand new one on the Best Buy website. I paid full price and I did not buy an opened box item for a discount. When I received the speaker the package looked opened but taped up. I hooked up the speaker and it was blown out of the box. I’m thinking they put a returned speaker in inventory without checking it. Hooked the other speaker to the same area to check the connections, and it played perfectly.

    Speakers are terrible. I purchased them along with a Sonos package because I needed a total of 4 speakers for my backyard. The Sonos speakers are great but these speakers give out a horrible sound quality.

      It's vital that these speakers are installed properly and paired with an adequate receiver. Additionally, the source audio can play a very large role in how the audio sounds. A lot of other variables are involved when it comes to how a speaker produces audio and we're sorry to hear you weren't completely satisfied. For future reference, if you face less-than-stellar audio performance, please feel free to contact customer support by visiting https://support.definitivetechnology.com. They can assist in troubleshooting any issues that may be present.

    I have been using the Definitive Technology - 6-1/2" Indoor/Outdoor Speakers for about three months now. Over this time period I have not found any issues with the speakers. They produce the highs and the lows you are looking for with no issues. Setting them up was easy. Sound is so great I was tempted to use them indoors instead of outdoors. They have gotten wet from rain showers and continue to produce great sound.

    Great outdoor speaker

    Bought this to have on our back patio for when we entertain. I read a review stating that it was a very powerful speaker that eliminated the need for multiple speakers. My wife was weary because she wanted to listen to music when she works on the flower beds. I installed it and both of us were amazed. I haven't even turned it up more than half way and it fills our backyard with great sound. It puts out a good range with clear tones. When driven by the right receiver (I'm using the Yamaha RX-V671) this speaker ROCKS!

    I purchased 4 of the 6500's for my outdoor kitchen area also added def tech center channel with sub, unbelievable sound . Marantz 1605 receiver pushing plenty sound these speakers sound amazing, could easily be featured speakers for indoor entertainment area. speakers cost a little bit more but you get what you pay for. I will redo indoor system and will strongly consider def tech products going forward. AMAZING SPEAKERS

    I still haven’t been able to use this speaker even if it was a suggestion by the bestbuy agent to use on my Vinyl record player. NEVER listen to a bestbuy agent’s suggestion. Get clarity on any gadget from properly done research or friends and family.

    After dreaming about an outdoor system for a while, and after reading all the reviews on many of the outdoor speakers in my price range, I popped for these. Not disappointed, great full rich sound. I live in a rural area and am able to easily fill the entire area with crisp clear music. Of course I don't have any neighbors to annoy. Powered with a Yamaha receiver, and run through an apple express I can control everything through my IPhone. Great set up for working out in the yard or grilling. Mounted them on a garden shed under an awning for a little protection of my investment. You won't be disappointed!

    Dynamic pure emotional impact

    I have always been a proponent of owning the best speakers that You can afford, as a budget minded audiophile Definitive towers were the natural choice for my indoor audio video system, so when I decided to extend my audio system to include the front porch I knew I would pick definitive speakers. When I installed them under the eves of my porch I expected good sounds, but realistically did not expect to be blown away! A number of years ago a storm came through and damaged the porch. When we rebuilt the porch, and reshingled the top we decided covering the inner ceiling was too expensive and my wife thought it gave the porch a nice rustic look. This wound up being fortuitous to the music lover in me! After setting the speakers 15 feet apart and facing the passive radiator upward I felt that in the exact center would be the mother of all sweet spots. Little did I know that the bracing woodwork along the 40 foot expanse would create an open baffle soundstage that seemed almost miraculous. The dynamic range, the highs the deep rich true bass were the best I have ever heard, and I’ve heard the best!

    Excellent sound and relatively easy install. Have noticed a small amount of vibration, likely from screen but not enough to bother.

    Outstanding speakers

    I was puzzled when I first saw the shape of these speakers, but now I get it. They really work well! The wide dispersion feature of these speakers really is amazing. Our speakers were mounted horizontally under the eave as recommended by the Geek Squad installer with the passive radiator deflecting upward 45 degrees off the eave. They defy the rules I have read on other websites and are mounted about 40 feet apart, covering the 30 foot wide patio area and large wide yard with excellent sound. I was skeptical because not only are they wide apart, but the area is on a ridge overlooking a valley, and very open. They sound great, matched up on the second zone of the Yamaha RX-A710.

    I just got these in time for my 4th of July party. Broke them in for a few days prior to party. I use them on zone 2 of a Yamaha RX-V673 Receiver and they are amazing. I had high expectations based on other reviews, and the reputation of the brand. But hearing the deep base thump, the powerful balanced mids, and crisp highs all together blew me away. They filled my backyard with sound, an area of about 75 feet by 100 feet. They are well built and feel just heavy enough. The integrated mounting brackets are super easy to use and make adjusting the angle extremely easy. Make sure you have enough power to drive them and you should be very happy.

    My wife told me to order these for myself for fathers day. I've been reading reviews for months on outdoor speakers and finally decided on these since Def Tech has such a great reputation. I just installed them and even though they're not broken in, WOW! I couldn't be happier with them. I listen mostly to classic rock and 90's grunge and it all sounds great. I definitely recommend them!

    Gotta love these speakers. As soon as my order came in, I put them out in my yard. The sound immediately popped, with plenty of bass. They are perfect for listening to tunes while barbequeing, swimming or any other backyard activity. I mounted them on the facia of my deck facing my pool patio. I realized after a short rain storm that they could benefit by some coverage from the elements as the manufacturer recommends. I added a small piece of aluminum over each speaker to protect them from sun and the weather. Sprayed black, the covers work well with the speakers. I love them. Can't wait to hook up AirPlay with Apple TV.

    I've had several sets of outdoor speakers over the years, but these are the the best sounding speakers I've ever had. Great full sounding response from lows to highs, clean detail. Hard to believe that much sound comes out of that small a speaker!
