Product Description
Whether its a mid-day picnic or an at-home concert under the stars, the Bose 151 SE outdoor speakers deliver the full stereo sound you want. Youll enjoy the same rich sound of music grilling on the porch or doing a little gardening around the backyard. Inside each speaker are three 2-inch full-range environmental drivers arranged in an Articulated Array speaker design. This provides Stereo Everywhere speaker performance for consistent sound in a much wider area than conventional speakers provide. You have the freedom to listen to your music wherever you are, not just in a small sweet spot where your music sounds best. For more than ten years, Bose outdoor speakers have stood up to some of natures worst conditions. Theyve been tested against snow, rain, salt and temperature extremes of 158 F (70C) to -40 F (-40C). We even put them through 1,200 hours of salt-fog testing, which is twice the demanding Marine Industry Standard. And to further underline their toughness, we added a five-year transferable limited warranty. Outdoor speakers should reflect the same attention to detail you like throughout your home. Bose 151 SE speakers are designed to blend smoothly with horizontal eave, clapboard and roof lines. Sleek, compact cabinets accentuate your outdoor environment instead of imposing on it. New adjustable, weather-resistant brackets allow you to hang the speakers vertically or horizontally, depending on your preference.

 Very tinny June 15, 2007

I oculdn't believe it when I listened to these in the store. Bose speakers for famous for bass response. But, these were horrible, with almost no bass. The sound is very tinny. They certainly are not worth this price.
I am warning you. Don't buy these unless you hear them first.
BOSE IS OVERRATED & OVERPRICED May 17, 2007

Where's the Bass?!? BOSE is completely overrated and consistently does not live up to all the hype for their significantly overpriced speakers. I tried these speakers and was so dissappointed they were immediately returned for a much cheaper pair of Polk's. The BOSE speakers do not even compare to Polk's that have a much higher Power rating (350watts vs only 100watts), better frequency response(40-20KHZ Vs. 670-20KHz), and even higher sensitivity (94db Vs. 89db).
The specifications for BOSE products are NOT advertised prior to purchase. Geeh. . . I wonder why? The reason is, by doing a direct side-by-side comparison, the BOSE speakers just don't match up & can't hold their ground to a much cheaper speaker since they perform so poorly. After all the advertising and sales gimmicks, the bottom line is that these BOSE speakers cannot even provide the performance of a speaker that is a fraction of the cost. The Bass response was weak & non-existant even for an outdoor speaker and could probably be blown very easily.
Why Pay the outragious costs for an inferior product? BOSE is for the uneducated buyer, who falls for all the sales gimmicks and buys speakers based on their looks alone and completely ignores the performance characteristics.
 Good! February 19, 2007
I bought these speakers for $109 on sale at my local Circuit City for my patio. I was going to buy speakers for my patio, but I wasn't intending on buying Bose because they were so expensive. When I saw these, I bought them. I think there's 3 4" drivers (speakers) in each cabinet (enclosure) The bass isn't quite suited for Nelly or any other rap artist, but it is quite suited for Kenny G. or Jewel. They aren't quit like the 251'S, but almost like them. They're better then Polk, Yamaha, or Boston Acoustics.

These speakers are being used on a large screened porch. I purchased them primarily based on the Bose reputation and their size. They fit very nicely on a shelf at the end of the porch and most people do not notice them. I was very surprised by their great "indoor" sound.
 Satisfied! May 8, 2006

I bought these speakers for my deck area last year. They were super-simple to install and worked great out of the box. They have a great sound and push good volume to my entire back yard. I could even disturb the neighbors if I wished to do so. :)
These speakers have survived the weather quite nicely. One of the speakers gets pretty wet by the gutters overflowing when we have heavy rain, and they have both had snow on top of them, and they still work fine this Spring.
I am considering buying another set for my screened porch area. The only reason they don't get a "five star" rating from me is that the ease of installation also equals ease of deinstallation. I have yet to find an outdoor speaker that has locks or a special tool to keep them from being easily stolen. At this price I would like a little extra security.
