If you are looking to buy outside speakers and do not want to have bulky electronics messing up your backyard, then garden speakers may be a great option for you. Garden speakers are just that: speakers that can be placed within a garden. They tend to have camouflage characteristics, and people looking to buy garden speakers usually will want them to blend in with the outside surroundings. When selecting speakers for your outdoor area, you want to be sure you will get a product that you are happy with, both performance-wise and sound quality.
Garden speakers come in all shapes and sizes. Since they tend to blend in with their surroundings, garden speakers are great for someone looking for a way to disguise their outside speakers. There are a ton of great options on the market, but here are some of my favorites.
When it comes to an outside speaker that is durable, you can’t beat a rock garden speaker. Rock garden speakers tend to be low to the ground and heavy enough that bad weather won’t do any damage. If you live in a windy area, rock speakers are a great way to provide sound in your garden. One of the better options on the market right now is the Pyle PLRK9 6.5 inch Waterproof Rock Garden Speaker. It’s only one speaker, but with 100 Watts of power, it will get loud enough for the average sized garden. It is made out of fiberglass, which will hold up well in both sunlight and rainfall. This model is currently available for about 70 dollars. If you are looking for a pair of rock garden speakers, a great option is the OSD Audio RX550 Rock Outdoor Speaker set. Each speaker in this set is only 50W, but at $50 total, you can’t beat the value.
If you are looking for a more festive or novel speaker, then you may want to get a flower-pot style garden speaker. One good option is the 5.25 inch 2 way Waterproof Planter Garden Speaker from PLFP1. This product is also made of fiberglass, which as you already know will withstand inclement weather conditions. This is a smaller speaker system than the rock garden speaker listed above, so it may be a great option if you are looking to hide your garden speakers.
When garden speakers, it’s a good idea to get a product that has a warranty attached. Since the product is located outside, its not only at the mercy of your kids, but also of mother nature. In the event of a heavy storm or extremely sunny day, you don’t want to risk permanent damage to your product. A warranty is a great way to guarantee that you’ll have a quality product in your garden for years to come. If the warranty is not included, depending on where you buy your garden speakers, it is may be possible to purchase a separate warranty. As a rule of thumb, try to make sure that you don’t pay over 20% of the product cost for your warranty.
