These speakers deliver a rich, beautiful sound to our outdoor entertainment area.
JohnR –
These are great outdoor speakers! The sound is awesome and they are built well. I especially like the strong base sound and solid mounting brackets.

This was recommended by my Best Buy/Geek Squad in-home advisor. I tested it out in the store and was very happy about the level of performance at a good price. Black won’t show rust like the white. 2 months and they’re holding up well. Great sound and projection.

My Review Summary sez it all! This speaker is being used in a “humidity high-temperature high” workout gym as a single element. Its output fills the area with clear quality sound at higher than normal volume levels….and its built in the USA in Baltimore, MD.

I picked up a pair of the AW6500 in a last minute decision. I was at Best Buy for a different reason but decided to take a look at their outdoor speakers. I wanted to listen to them but there was only the AW5500 on display, so the associate that came to help me kicked on the AW5500. Well, IT sounded pretty good, and when I say IT, that’s because only one of the speakers was working, but just buy itself it sounded really good. So the associate says that the AW6500 were on sale and I figured if just that one AW5500 sounded good two of the 6500 should be even better. Got them home, hooked them up and hung them on a cross beam in my carport about 2 feet from my house with the bass towards the outside stucco wall so the bass could bounce off of it. I hooked them up to a older Sansui AU317 amp. that has a 50 watt output and then tied my IPod to it, put on some live blues tunes and cranked it up, WHAT A PERFECT MATCH!!!! The sound comes thru crystal clear, excellent highs and the bass is unbelievable for the size of the cabinets. The placement of the speakers really make a big difference too, because of the wood structure of the carport tied into the house, the bass really radiates thru out the carport, especially when I stand in the sweet spot where both speakers can be heard. One of the better choices I’ve made in a while.

What a sound! These speakers are so clear and the longer you play them the better they sound. Perfect for my lanai!
Elvin –
Purchased pair of these 6500 for my patio, the sound is clear and loud enough to fill my back yard the bass sounds amazing. They are easy to mount.
BillS –
Got the speakers for a job at work. They fit nice in the small place we had to put them and sound good.
Cmorrow –
Also bought Sony 2.0 reciever and they sound great. Already warned the neighbors that it might get loud and it does. You can hear these speakers across the street crystal clear and full.
Jedrod56 –
Great value providing clear sound that covers a very large distance
Lizz –
Perhaps maybe the best sounding outdoor speakers in the universe! Can’t rave enough about them!
Jay99 –
These speakers have great sound that is tight and clear. One issue is the black housing paint is bad; has tiny bubbles in the paint. May return for refund.
DeJu –
Sleek looking speakers with great sound and durable as outdoor speakers.

I purchased 6 of these for my small restaurant driven by AudioSource AMP 1200 in bridged mode (80 RMS watts @ 8-ohms). Music or TV audio plays through them 12 hours a day – 7 days a week (mind you I’m using these indoors not out). They are mounted 11ft high, angled down towards the customers; each speaker covers about 400 sq ft. of sound
Mounting them was super easy and the speaker swivel helps aim them. They only weigh about 10lbs and can be mounted vertical or horizontally. I used 50lbs rated – metal drywall anchors to mount these speakers on my ½” thick drywalls (I mounted it vertically so that I can aim updown)
The sensitivity of these speakers are high (92db), which is a good thing in that they do not require a lot of power for them to get loud; therefor I only have them turned about 50% of the way up to produce 55-58db of background music. During sporting events, I’ll turn it up about 70% of the volume (producing about 82-85db) so that they can still be heard over the cheering crowd. Trust me these speaker can go very loud without much effort.
With the amp that I have powering these, the highs and mids sound crystal clear and no distortion at high volumes. The wall facing 5.5″ x 10″ low pass radiator speaker produces some bass (tight punch), but quickly fades away the further you get from the speaker. The bass is better than its outdoor competitor, but you’ll need a subwoofer if you want the lower frequencies, there’s just no way around that fact.
Designed for outdoors, I see no issues of these going bad anytime soon using indoors and the 5 year factory warranty is a huge plus.
I did test the speakers out with my Denon AVR Receiver (100 watts RMS) at home and sounded fantastic for music and movies. The bass is a bit more present in a smaller 4 closed walled room, but I’d still recommend a subwoofer if you are in search of a bit more bass.
I would highly recommend these speakers for a residential and commercial use.

TMB69 –
Love them! They made our outdoor party a big hit!!
Speaker –
Very clear and def best around! Easy also to set up
Ricky –
Had a pair of yamaha’s. Just didn’t have the bass I was looking for. There speakers definitely filled the bill. They are so clear and do not sound like a box. With a lot of bass.
Erlo28 –
Great sound and quality, i like it, good for outdoor.
AverageJoe –
I am very happy with these outdoor speakers. they have a great sound and very clear.

I bought 2 of the 6500 model for my terrace on September 18, 2019 and they both blew up in less than 45 days of been purchased on November the 2nd, but honestly the first time used them in like party mode. Please note that I’m using an additional Def. Tech sub-woofer (600) to help with the base, which means, that I was not abusing the speakers in any manner. I can’t understand how they can cost that much and last such a few time. I don’t thing they worth the money.
Wizard –
These speakers sound just as good as my indoor speakers
Ucimba –
Hooked up these speakers to a Sonos Amp streaming’s Tidal in my patio. Great sound stage, base and clarity. I used foam padding between the stucco and the length of the mounting bracket to avoid any potential rattle. So far so good!
Review716 –
These sound fantastic, especially after a few beers and I turn them up and let them shine!
Goldy –
Purchased to replace old outdoor speakers of over 15yrs, these seem to hit the mark. While not having them long enough to comment on a full weather range, mine have full weather exposure and they certainly are unfazed by summer rain. The nicest part, so far , is the fine, balanced deep soundstage they project; great with nuanced singers, acoustic ensembles, as well as electric power pop.
Franklin –
I returned these speakers when I learned about the Sonos Move, which I like much better as I not only use it outdoors but in the garage, the office, and bedroom. I replaced my entire sound system with the Sonos system and will never go back to cables and wires, and new holes drilled, etc.
I would recommend the Sonos System to all who love music that sounds most like the real performance,
Kyle –
Excellent sound, I have this outside by the pool and works great.
Earphones –
They are being used for the backyard, and the sound is wonderful
ape151 –
The grill on these keep popping off but other than that they sound awesome. I am happy with the quality of the sound. They have great bass but not for rap. You can pair these with a good subwoofer.
Michael –
Great sound. solid low end and super mids and highs. Priced right
Hpheadphones –
One word to say about these !!!!!!!! “AWESOME “ could not ask for a better sound have two pair of these one set for the eve of the back porch for the pool and one set for my garage
KevinM –
This speaker sounded ok while it worked. It was a little muddy in the mid- highs compared to some old Bose Acoustimass I had hooked up in parallel. However, suddenly one night while listen it started sounding like flapping cardboard. Admittedly I had the sound turned up but the receiver was only a 100 amp receiver. The speaker is rated for 200. It was only eight months old. One would think it would have lasted longer.
Alex –
These speakers are beyond amazing, i didnt expect them to be as good as they actually are, but i suppose you get what you pay for!
Dukajohn –
Sounds incredible!!! Really no more to say than that.
Paul –
Had to order a second speaker due to no stock but well worth it. DEF tech speakers are one of the best sounding speakers. Paired with SVS streaming amp these are loud outside. Very nice, and what I would expect from them.
NanoFan2022 –
I still haven’t been able to use this speaker even if it was a suggestion by the bestbuy agent to use on my Vinyl record player. NEVER listen to a bestbuy agent’s suggestion. Get clarity on any gadget from properly done research or friends and family.
Plate18 –
Lots of punch and clarity from this small speaker. Perfect for my garage! They sound great and will withstand the temperature variations and not-so-clean environment.
VegasBeast –
Better sound compare to other competitors at same price range. Easy to setup and install.
Mcmorrinej12 –

Mike –

JCJ1 –
Fantastic sound! Even outside these speakers are clear and crisp.
DavidC –
This speakers are amazing. I own a pair of this already
VanessaN –
Terrible speakers. sounds great for a few minutes then blow. cannot handle a sonos amp at under 70%. 125w per channeland both blew in under 30 mins. Terrible quality. If you have a sonos amp and are planning on running these speakers, DONT! Going to try rhe sonos speakers next.
Jasen –
Best outdoor speakers hands down. The highs are crisp and clear and the lows hit hard without the need for a subwoofer. I Paired these with a Sonos amp and use the speaker on my pool deck.
MikeA –
Awesome Speaker’s!!! The were recommended by store associates!!
Dawn –
Excellent sound and relatively easy install. Have noticed a small amount of vibration, likely from screen but not enough to bother.
