As usual, Best Buy delivers on their promises. Tim Alexander did an exceptional job, as did Jerimah.
Thank you
AMBBR –
Great quality speakers and sounds excellent. One thing is the mount is only on one side which limits some mounting positions.
wynn –
These are some of the best speakers I have ever owned. I would highly recommend B&W speakers to anyone!
Tommy –
The speakers sound great! They are very clear and loud
Madi –
The sound quality is awesome….great for listening to music outdoors
Louie –
Great sound. Very pleased with purchase! Geek squad installed and these guys were the best. Cleaned up after drilling holes in stone to mount speakers. Couldn’t be happier with my choice.

Let’s be real. When it comes to interior and exterior speakers, your choices on which speakers to buy go on and on and on and on…. PLEASE…stay away from the speaker section that’s out in the open and get your rear end over to the Magnolia room!!! BB has a Magnolia room for a reason….and that “other section” full of less than $100 speakers is there for a reason (buy an inferior product and you’ll be back in a couple years buying another…aaaaand another – sorry BB, you are doing the right thing for the person who has a budget in mind, but the Magnolia room is the only place to buy GOOD quality speakers). You’ll find the BEST long term, best sounding, highest quality speakers in the Magnolia room. Are they more expensive? Obviously! But, if you can understand the “once and done” method and if you live by it, you’ll experience only the best…PERIOD. I picked up these speakers and installed them myself (for real…this isn’t rocket science…anyone can do this…follow the directions!). Treble is phenomenal and the bass was surprising. Again, the guys at BB won’t turn the speakers up full volume unless you insist. That’s okay and all, but you need to hear the speakers at their best. The distortion that every speaker normally gets comes in at volumes that you will NOT listen to these exterior speakers at. I’m on the back patio right now listening to them and the sound quality is 2nd to none… I’ve had the others…Klipsch, Def Tech’s, Polk, Yamaha… FINALLY, I was in a position to get the speakers I’ve always wanted and I’ll NEVER look back! All the interior speakers are B&W’s and now I have the entire house wired with the best that’s ever been manufactured. Quality, clarity, durability, …. you won’t be disappointed!

I purchased 2 of these outdoor speakers for surround sound for a TV that I have mounted outside. The speakers are under a covered patio. They sound great together and are just what I was looking for
Evelio –
I must say these speakers did not disappoint, I put them around the pool area and it gets loud. Well worth the money
Yankee –
Great Speakers Sound Great & look good in my gazebo
HMK1 –
Incredible out door speakers ! The geek squad made them work with my inside sound system and they are truly awesome in quality of sound.
They also have a clever lock to make stealing them more difficult.
MrWonderful –
Listened to them in the Magnolia room and they sounded much much better than all others.
Hollywood –
So far, so good. I’ve only used them once or twice since they were installed but I am please thus far.
Cat66 –
I have both white and black now. I am so impressed that I bought a pair for my porch and also the pool area. Fills the backyard with sound. Bass is amazing. Very easy to install and high quality. You won’t regret this purchase.
Eric –
The speaker had a great sound. It blew with in the first month. We never blasted or pushed them to the max. Unfortunately, just bad manufacturing.
MooreFun –
The B&W speakers are on my patio. They are so smooth and pleasant to the ears. Anyone that comes in back yard from friends to contractors love the sound. An excellent speaker purchase.
John –
My second pair for outside love them!! Sound great range is awesome!!
10key –
Best choice on the speakers for your outside patio. Very pleased.
RFRF –
These speakers sound and look great! I definitely recommend these to anyone interested in high quality outdoor speakers!
Dimitri –
I’ve installed several outdoor speakers from various brands and these B&W speakers are by far the best in terms of installation, sound, and design. These use a single swing arm style mounting mechanism with integrated wiring and terminals. The way they mount is very unique compared to other offerings. The overall fit and finish give a very clean install. Keep in mind that prior install preparation and technique will always yield a flawless installation regardless of the speaker choice.
The sound is incredible. If matched to a good amplifier with adequate power these will more than satisfy your sound needs. For their size, they provide a great amount of bass projection and clarity. In part due to the bass radiator design on the back of the speaker housing and the shape/construction of the housing.
While these are not inexpensive, you are getting a well-crafted speaker that meets and exceeds all requirements for an outdoor speaker compared to others in this category.

Great product. The sound quality is excellent.word
TechReivewerMD –
B&W is always a good brand. Just beware of buying open box items without having them tested from the store
TDPSIX –
I live in Texas, and purchased / installed the speakers in the heat of summer. They handle the Texas heat and humidity of the coast well. No issues. Great investment.
Shoba –

mitir –

we have it at our pool
DanC –
Have a great sound and being weatherproof makes then a great option for outside. I paired it with a Sonos Amp and it sounds great. Do recommend
oakdale –
great sound, bass and clarity are top notch for outdoor speaker
WookNH –
Very well made. Really like how they hook up to bracket/speaker wire. Sound is very good. Not great…However, I haven’t had much experience with outdoor speakers. So these very well could sound great when compared to others. Curious how well they hold up outside, but with their build quality they should be fine.
CarolK –
These B&W indoor/outdoor speakers provide clean and clear music at any volume. Bought them for a sunroom where we socialize. You don’t have to turn them up to get good sound, however, when you do turn them up they are amazing as well!
AdamB –
Great highs, midrange and bass. Very full sound, clean with deep resonance. Great outdoors in covered area. Happy to listen to.
JBTX –
Sound quality is outstanding. Great lows for an outdoor speaker and very clear sounding at low volumes. Installation was easy. Love the mounting system.
