(NEW) Pyle 3.5" Outdoor Waterproof Patio Speaker

I was looking to move up from a large portable bluetooth speaker (G-Boom) to stereo sound in my side yard cookout/hangout area. The area is roughly 30 feet by 50 feet. The more I researched, the more I found that there are not many options in an outdoor bluetooth stereo speaker setup. The reviews for these speakers were not as good as some other options, but I knew that I wanted 6.5" bass drivers to get as much volume and low frequency response as possible in a medium sized speaker. These were an open box deal so they were almost half the usual price. Upon opening the package I was pleased with the size and heft of the speakers. They are also fairly attractive and understated. The brackets were a since to mount using the included washers with some wood screws that I already had, and the speakers quickly connect to them with the included thumb screws, so no tools are required once the brackets are in place. The quick connect speaker wires are nice too, because it means that the whole setup (minus the brackets, which remain in place) can be put up or taken down in about 30 seconds. Because of this, I will probably not be testing their waterproof-ness. It's just so easy to take them inside when I'm not using them. The Bluetooth range is approximately 60 feet outdoors, which is ample for my needs, and I can't say that the blue light that bothers some users was an issue for me, though a piece of black tape or some black spray paint could end that concern easily. Now to the important part...sound quality. I first tried these indoors and was surprised by the sheer volume they output. The sound is definitely focused on midrange and treble, but with solid bass fill and surprisingly good bass extension for their size. The overall sound quality is crisp and clear with no background hum or buzz even at full volume. These speakers offer plenty of volume and sound quality to be satisfying for movies, music, or games when indoors. Next I tried them outdoors. Again, the volume was ample enough to be heard clearly at the back of my yard, which is about 70 yards from the sdpeakers. The bass output is a little bit shy of what I hoped for after hearing them indoors, but that is just the reality of putting speakers in an outside environment. I wouldn't say that it is poor though. One can only expect so much from outdoor-rated 6.5" bluetooth speakers with a built in amp for under $100, and these really deliver when that is considered. I may also try an EQ app to help dial in the sound to my environment. Overall, I am very satisfied with these speakers. They are cheap, connected to my iphone without any issues, and sound great. I will update my review if my opinion of these changes, but unless they totally fail I think these are a wonderful deal whether used indoors or out.
