    These speakers are excellent and have great Bass along with great midrange and highs. Bass on most outdoor speakers is rare but not on these speakers. I use on my outside deck and the sound is terrific. If you are interested in bass then this is your product. This company also makes a larger version of this speaker and I would bet the Bass would be even better.Glad I made this purchase.

    Looking for a great set of outdoor speakers for our backyard and patio. I looked at and listened to a lot of different options before selecting these. They are fantastic - very crisp sound, the bass is not muddy or booming. Other speakers that I considered sounded thin or weak when placed outside, these still have a very rich, full-bodied output. A bit more expensive, but definitely worth the cost.

    Wow, I wanted to add speakers to a finished space under my deck so we could have music at the pool. I’m not an audiophile but I’m used to high quality sound. Sonos & Bose. I originally bought a different and cheaper brand based on good reviews but instantly regretted the purchase upon hearing the sound. I installed these powered by a miniature sized FOSI BT20A amp that is Bluetooth connected to an Alexa dot that is also under the deck. So I can just tell Alexa what to play from the pool. The bass is marvelous. Since the speakers are mounted on the bottom of the deck the base reflects off the side of the house. I love these.

    Bought these for outside patio on the fact that I have the Def Tech sound bar and I love it. These speakers live up to their reputation. Great clean sound, nice separation, and good bass.. Have had other outdoor speakers that sounded like a pa system..Not these, have them hooked up to a Yahama amp and they rock the patio when cranked.

    I listened to a few different setups, this was the best. These things sound Amazing. The clearity is unbelievable, and has the perfect amount of low end. Compared to the "better" and more expensive ones, these are the better ones at a 3rd of the cost.

    These are GREAT!!! I almost spent the extra money on the next model up but decided against it and I am glad I did. For my area, these speakers work great. I have 3 on the screened in porch and two on the outside facing our yard. They work great.

    I have been pleased with their performance mounted outdoors under the 2' overhang. I have powered them with both low and high wattage amps, without having much issue with under powering them compared to other outdoor speakers.

    I own several other DT products and have always been impressed with the sound and build quality. After reading other's reviews, I decided to try these for an outdoor living area. Although the cabinet shape is a bit unique, I was able to find a suitable mount point allowing for the rear radiator to be correctly placed facing a hard surface (per manufacturer's recommendation). Connected to a 2x100w Yamaha network receiver, I find they are capable of producing very good sound over the entire area. Stereo imaging and depth are pretty good for an outdoor product. Only had these a month, but very pleased with performance

    I mounted four of these on my back 42’ back porch area. Could’ve easily got by with two. These have awesome sound and good bass! I am 100% impressed with these and the sound will not disappoint. Definitely recommended.

    I've had a pair of these speakers for 2 1/2 years now and they've held up great to the weather. No fading, rusting etc. They sound amazing! They can be played loud without distortion. For the quality, the price isn't bad either.

    Best outdoor speakers I’ve ever owned. The passive radiator is impressive and puts out some serious bass. I have a pair of these hooked up to Fosi Audio BT20A Pro 48v with a Chromecast Audio. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
