Customer Ratings & Reviews

Surprisingly efficient speakers for outdoor use. Full sound range for my large 30' porch. Great buy for the prices, especially when on sale.

I've only had these speakers for a couple months and have used them maybe 5 times. So far so good. I did a decent amount of research and found these to have the best ratings for good balanced sound and price and durability in the elements outside. I did, however, buy 2 for each side outside to get both stereo sounds out of each corner, so remember songs are done in stereo and you might get some weird and unbalanced sound if you only do one per side/corner. Much better sound than their smaller brother, which sound very thin and high-end dominant. Overall, very pleased. Only downside is the mounts. If you want these outside, you'll want different ones. We had a set custom built for the angle and direction we were going for.

On a independent electronic web site these speakers were picked number two.The number one speaker brand was about double this price. So after having them for awhile now, I'm glad I choose the Yamaha's. The sound is very good,the speaker handles the low end (bass) good enough! The high end is clean and crisp and I can crank them if wanted, but for a 20x25 patio the sound covers well out into the yard.

Excellent sound works very well outdoor I have 8 of this speaker around my back yard. Fantastic sound I’m in NY and it works all year around

Connections are easy and easy to get to, I have them on a 250’ run of hard wire and the sound quality is great- so far they have sustained the torrential downpours that King George County has had over the past couple weeks

I have these mounted to the exterior of my pergola by the pool. They sound great at low volume but can get REALLY loud if you need them to. I was worried with them being outdoors and nothing to reflect off of (like walls or ceilings) the sound wouldn’t carry far. I have them connected to a Denon receiver that is 75 watt RMS per channel. I turned them up to about 70% and my wife could hear them all the way out to the street in front of the house. As usual she thinks I “overdid” it but i think they are great. I also recommend using outdoor rated speaker wire if they are going to be exposed to weather.

The speakers have great sound quality and are easy to remove from their brackets for winter storage.

Good for the price. Worked all summer on patio. As advertised.

Yamaha has been a trusted brand for me for many years. The speakers are on the back deck of my house and sound great. My backyard is more than an acre of land and the speakers even at one quarter volume can be clearly heard. Good rich bass and brilliant highs. I am very satisfied with this purchase and would recommend these speakers to anyone.

Let's face it you are shopping for outdoor audio speakers - you imagine garden parties with the queen and the most superb audio and the salesperson helps you buy in to it all. But then you wander from Magnolia to the Best Buy Outdoor Audio and you think. Yamaha - now their experts in music right - surely they won't sell rubbish - and compared to the other speakers I will save made $500-$1000. What a great decision - the product is great - sound is balanced - bass tones reasonable - perfect for an outdoor speaker and better the most 5 star resorts and Vegas gardens - Get them! recommended......

I purchased 4 of these speaker 15 years ago. They are always outside and still sound great

I purchased these on a whim to get some speakers out on the deck. Although there were no wood screws included, the mounting process was very easy. I mounted my pair horizontally due to space limitations. I have them powered by a cheaper class-d amplifier with a small (+3dB) amount of bass equalization at 60Hz. I have them connected via a spare ChromeCast Audio I had laying around. Even with the cheaper equipment connected up, these have a really pleasant sound that I expect will improve after the woofer breaks in. I would definitely recommend this model if you are trying to get some music outside!

These are some very well-priced outdoor speakers. They sound great and were easy to connect to our home sonos sound system. They've only been up for a month so I'm hoping that they stand the test of time. Overall very happy with our purchase

These are incredible, the clarity, volume and are perfect for my average size suburban backyard!

Easy to install sound is great able to hook up to stereo

I have these mounted outside for occasional use with a projector and movie screen. What really brought them to life was using a more powerful audio amp. I went from a 40-watt per channel to a 120-watt/channel amp and I have much better sound at low volumes, plus a whole lot of headroom. They seem well-made. My only gripe is the threaded mounting point is at an odd angle. I'd prefer it be on the bottom of the speakers to put them on tripods without having to fiddle with the angle of the tripod head.

These Outdoor Yamaha speakers over deliver relative to the price point!

We have these set up on our deck…they are perfect for this area that receives a little rain, sun, and all weather. The sound is amazing!

While the speakers do sound good, there are some shortcomings. Low end response is somewhat lacking, but how much bass do you expect out of a 6.5" driver? Overall the sound projects well in my very large yard, but I would recommend a substantial amp to push them. The 6 ohm impedance makes them a little tricky when figuring out parrelleling multiples on outdoor volume controls but nothing too crazy. The only real work is the fact that the mount is only viable in a vertical fashion, this means that if you wanted to have the speaker mounted horizontally you lose a left right swivel capability and horizontal dispersion suffers (hence the reason for me needing 2 pairs to cover my 30' wide deck. Other than that not a bad deal.

Awesome option for outdoor listening. I placed these on my paio and connected them to my Sonos network. They produce clear sound and look awesome.
