OSD Audio 8" Wireless Bluetooth Outdoor Rock Speaker Sandstone Canyon Brown Pair IP67 Power Supply BTR805

So far, so good! Great sound for a Bluetooth speaker. Punchy bass with clear high tones. Cute rock look. Note that they must be plugged in! Not battery operated. One speaker plugs to an electric outlet, the other plugs to the first speaker. Music is through Bluetooth wireless connection to phone or computer. Music source (phone or whatever) must be within ten feet of speakers or sound cuts out!

I was looking for 3 things for my front porch: Outdoor, wired to a plug (not needing to charge a battery), and bluetooth capable. I don't want to have to plug my phone into some cord every time I want to play a song. I don't want to worry about charging a portable speaker. I wanted the speakers to just always be on and ready to connect on my front porch.Five important things that I didn't get from the other reviews:1. These were way bigger than I expected. The 5.25" is the size of the inside speaker but the actual size of each case is much bigger. I was ok with this; just surprised when I opened the box.2. Many reviews say the speaker wire between them is 10'. The power wire connecting the 1st speaker to the outlet is maybe 10' and the wire connecting speaker 2 to speaker 1 is more like 20'. All wires are black. I wrapped them in white electrical tape to blend with my house trim better.3. Mine didn't have instructions on how to mount but it was basically self-explanatory. It was also missing 4 screws that would mount it to the house. So I'm not sure if this was a mistake but it was a pretty easy thing to resolve. I used some screws from the garage and they worked just fine. I used Everbuilt size #10x2". I'm sure yours will have the mounting screws...but who knows.4. When I first plugged these in to test the sound was inside and they sounded just so-so. My wife suggested I try them outside since they're outdoor speakers. So I did and they sounded amazing! I don't know what kind of voodoo magic it was but these sounded fantastic once outside so be sure to take yours outside to hear them.5. Bluetooth connecting is really easy. I did go to my garage out back and lost connection. When I returned the music was off and I had to reconnect but that was easy to do. This is the whole point of why I got them. I want to be able to pull my phone out at any given moment and just connect. Always on, always ready, no wires. Just connect and play.For a little over $100 this was a solid purchase. The sound is great, installation was super easy (assuming you can drill/screw into something), and connectivity is easy.

Easy hookup. Great sound quality. Bluetooth connection is rocky especially going through a wall if you leave your phone in your pocket to go inside. Make sure to notice the power switch on the back of the main speaker. Haven’t had enough bad weather to test the waterproofing. A little pricey that’s why I couldn’t give it a 5 star.

Do not buy. Not worth it and they do not last long.These speakers look nice and have a decent amount of heft to them, leading to the misperception that they are of good quality. One day after the Amazon return window one of the speakers starting crackling. I worked through product support with Amazon and the issue was not resolved. Amazon said that since the return window was closed I need to work with the manufacturer’s warranty. Amazon even gave me their number. I have called multiple times and can get no response from the company.The speaker set up is easy and straightforward. They even come with long cords, both power and speaker, that allow good placement. The mini amplifier is in the power cord and hard to conceal. It is small, and a bit cheap, which lets you know this system does not have much power and sound will suffer. For very low volume this system works, but it does not go very loud. Sound quality is subpar, but is okay for casual listening. Hanging the speakers is easy with the included brackets.The Bluetooth connection is a bit weak. There is no Bluetooth button, so to connect to another device you have to unplug the electrical cord and replug to reset the Bluetooth. It also takes too long for the actual connection to take place, leaving you wondering if it is going to work. The distance for Bluetooth is not very far without cut-outs. (About 20 feet.)The sound quality leaves much to be desired. Small portable Bluetooth speakers have much better sound (but don’t solve the stereo separation issue). The sound is mushy, easily distorted beyond medium volume, and just generally poor. We tried several genres of music (rock, pop, country, rap, etc.) and found that these speakers did not have a sound pattern that was good for any of them.The speakers now sit in my garage not working and the company silent in their ability to help with customer support or warranty. Buyer beware that you are buying a subpar product with no company support.**Update** Just threw them out in the trash. Would have been better off just burning a couple hundred bucks. A total waste. Can not give zero stars, but I would. Very disappointing.
