What Are the Best Outdoor Speakers?


With the weather turning warmer, more of us want to spend time outside. That doesn’t mean we should have to leave our tunes behind. This week we’re looking for the best outdoor, all-weather speakers, perfect for backyards and barbecues.

In this case, we’re looking for speakers you can set up outdoors and leave trust they’ll survive the elements for the most part. Maybe they need to come inside when the party’s over, maybe they can stay out there. Have a favorite pair, or a great rugged model you like? Let’s hear them!

Let’s hear your vote in the discussions below! To cast your vote, follow these guidelines:

  1. Follow this format for your vote, including the bold print. If you don't, it won't be counted:

  4. Why: Explain why these speakers are the ones you think is the best! Maybe they’re super durable, or can stand up to the elements. Maybe they’re rugged enough to go anywhere with enough juice to keep the party going. What makes it the one you’d recommend to others, and why? Make your case!

  5. Don’t duplicate nominations! Instead, if someone’s nominated your pick, star (recommend) it to give it a boost, and reply with your story instead.
