Great sound from these speakers at a reasonable priceS

Pros:

Cons:

I am not an audiophile, it took me a year of research an time to save up for my four speakers. I've now had them for 3 months THEY ARE WORTH EVERY DIME!!!!!!! I have one set on my lower patio and one on my back patio, tied in with one Sonos connect and one Sonos connect amp (also worth the money). The sandstone speakers blend right in with our landscaping producing great clean crisp sound

Pros: Awesome clean sound at any volume Blend in to landscaping

Cons: I want to say cost, ,but ultimately I can't. you get what you pay for

Amazing sound quality and solid bass. Have it outside on half acre property, clearly can hear sound throughout yard without increasing volume to highest level.

Pros:

Cons:

They are a good choice running with a Sonos amp. And are paired with the regular aw-650s on the patio also connected to a Sonos amp. I have a fairly large backyard and I had everything at 3/4s volume and my backyard was rocking and good quality as well. The rock speakers have good quality 14g direct burial wire and are pretty good siZe runs of wires to the back. They look good and will blend in nicely one the yard is all done. I have them in the back of my yard. Like I said the sound quality is excellent. But if you want to seriously bump on the bass side you would still need a sub. But that's pretty much with any outdoor speakers. You can only get so much with a 6.5 woofer or smaller. But I highly recommend them. Easy to install as well.

Pros: High quality housing and parts. Great looks. Great sound.

Cons: None. You get what you pay for. And these are excellent.

I am very pleased with the awe-650-sm outdoor speakers i have placed around our new unground pool. I had boston acoustics for the last 12 years with the above ground. I now have best of both worlds. The new speakers are great.

Pros: Great sound around pool

Cons: No cons to speak of as yet

I had another brand of speaker Rock, but when compared to this one , there is no comparisons. Great clear and bold sound.

Pros:

Cons:

Great sound and nice looking speakers. I bought these to replace a pair of AW-650's that failed but were not covered by warranty due to purchasing elsewhere. I will always buy from Crutchfield in the future for warranty coverage and of course great customer service.

Pros: Good sound and blend in with landscaping.

Cons: A bit expensive but hey they are Klipsch.

I like it a lot... back yard is pleasantly filled with music.

Pros:

Cons:

Speaker has surprisingly rich sound for such a light speaker. It sounds amazing and clear with good bass. Purchased for my fire pit area outside - may only need 1 since the sound is so rich.

Pros: Great sound and looks like a rock - perfect for my mostly rock fire pit area.

Cons: None so far.

Wow. I wasn't sure about buying rock shaped speakers, even if a Klipsch product, and my wife and I were blown away. The rock speakers were going to be side speakers to go with a set of bose 251's we had on the list (backordered). The Bose were going to attach to the house, but after hooking up the rock speakers our entire backyard (about 1300 sq ft) is filled with music AND most importantly "quality rich sound". You don't have to crank (unless you want to). Also rich bass tones. We decided to put the Bose on hold. You see the speakers in the pic next to the red planter and green planter.

Pros: Rich Tone. You can crank. Full spectrum from bass to highs.

Cons: None to mention at this time.

Replaced a ten year old rock speaker with this product" So far superior to what I had. Let's see how it weathers a Ohio winter.

Pros:

Cons:

I don't know much about speakers or stereos. These were easy to install and sound great! Love the speakers!

Pros:

Cons:

Great speakers, easy install. They sound great. My only wish was a little deeper base from subwoofer.

Pros: Great sound, easy install

Cons: Wish there was little deeper base from the subwoofer

These sound great! And the staging is PARTICULARLY good. I think the two-channel mode is a bit of a waste, and it makes wiring them somewhat annoying (they don't follow my color code-- according to them, red and white are positive, green and black are negative), but that's a small quibble. Bass was initially lacking, but once I EQ'd them through my amp to push the bass, they really came alive. And, of course, the whole reason why you get these in the first place, in the granite color I chose they actually look pretty reliably like rocks. I have them in a small garden behind some hydrangeas, and you would never know they were speakers-- you wouldn't even know they were there, even after you hear them.

Pros: Great sound staging; they really look like rocks!

Cons: Weird wiring setup; somewhat light and plastic-y. They LOOK more like rocks than they FEEL

Great Product

Pros:

Cons:

I installed two of these on my deck and powered them with a Sonos Connect Amp. They sound great! Of course I wish the setup was cheaper, I did get them scratch and dent (they were perfect) and I couldn't be happier. The Crutchfield advisor was excellent also. thanks

Pros: Nice look, blends in well, sounds great at low and higher volume levels.

Cons: A little pricey to do a stereo pair.

We purchased 3 speakers. They sound is awesome and look fantastic in our backyard. Just what we were looking for and so happy.

Pros: Great sound!

Cons:

Great product. Love the sound. Very happy with my purchase.

Pros:

Cons:

So far the speakers have been excellent. I have them connected to a sonos amp which powers it by the pool and it sounds fantastic. The bass is very defined and have received many compliments from family and friends while at the pool.

Pros: great sound great bass blends very well with my surrounds

Cons: none so far

Clean, crisp sound from these speakers. At first, the bass didn't sound too great but after minor adjustments I got it to a level where it sounds great! The acoustics part of a song and the voice just sound so clean, definitely worth the money for this pair. The sounds reaches far into my yard and around the pool. The charcoal color mixed in well with our lava rock and some moss boulders around it. Overall, you won't be disappointed with the sound coming off these speakers for the price!

Pros:

Cons:

5 stars for outdoor speakers. Overall good to very good sound quality across the spectrum prior to any break in period. Maybe be best in single channel setup but two channel is still better than most outdoor speakers I've heard. Easy to setup and place. Surprisingly good bass especially when positioned near wall or in corner. Great value for the money.

Pros:

Cons:

Amazing sound!!

Pros:

Cons:

Amazing bass for this speaker! I now have 4 of these speakers strategically placed throughout my backyard. I highly recommend these for anyone who is looking for a discrete speaker.

Pros:

Cons:

very happy with them. Good Bass,

Pros:

Cons:

I have reviewed and listened to many outdoor speakers, but the Klipsch AWR-650-SM are by far and away the best sounding outdoor rock speaker on the market for under $500.00. The blend of the highs and bass and overall clarity are nothing short of spectacular.

Pros: Price, Sound, Clarity, Cosmetics

Cons:

I bought a set of these speakers a little over a month ago and they have performed admirably since then. Short term weather does not seem to have an effect. The sound is wonderful.

Pros:

Cons:

These speakers "rock" I installed these under our deck where we have a finished patio with Jacuzzi. We have a small 20' strip of flowers there with mulch. After running my speaker wire (14gauge) to the speakers I pointed them into the center of the patio...one on the far left, one on the far right. These sound awesome with wonderful bass response even with the Jacuzzi running.

Pros: Cant go wrong with Klipsch. Buy them. They look real, not too heavy, and look great in any landscaped area. The speakers have just enough weight to keep them to the ground. Klipsch provides a landscape hold down steel peg with each speaker for added security to the ground.

Cons: I was timid in wanting to spend $300 per speaker... would have been nicer to purchase as a set for $300....but they are worth the money!!

These speaker sound awesome. The bass response is EXCELLENT for an outdoor speaker. They play loud and clean. So well in fact that I've already had a few conversations with the neighbors since I installed them. I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 since one of my speakers won't play in stereo. The others all work fine. I'll update my review after talking to Crutchfield support

Pros: Loud, clear, and great bass.

Cons: See above

Purchased this speaker to replace a blown KLH rock speaker. Tried using one speaker since it can be hooked up to reproduce both channels. The treble and midrange are incredibly clear but I ended up ordering a second speaker to hear the separation of the two channels.

Pros: Great crystal clear highs and midrange

Cons: Bass is ok but not as good as the KLH that these replaced. Price is high considering they are made in China.

Great product you wont dissappointed with these speakers. Blends in with landscape nicely. Lifetime warranty need I say more.

Pros:

Cons:

I have had these for two seasons now and they are wonderful. I was a little skeptical because of the price, but with the warranty and quality, they are perfect. The sound is very deep and rich. the sandstone color looks somewhat fake, but I have them on both sides of my patio (about 38ft apart) pointing to the center of my patio (think of a triangle), and because of their location I do not see them very much. So the color does not bother me. The bass is surprisingly deep and that gives the sound a full feel. I recommend spending the extra $$$ for these.

Pros:

Cons:

Not only do the Rock Speakers look great in my newly landscaped yard, but the sound is truly amazing. I now have Klipsch throughout my house. I sent my Bose back. I am glad that there is finally an outdoor rock speaker worthy of praise.

Cons:
