Product Description

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 2½-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 158º F (70ºC) to -40º F (-40ºC). 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ummmmmmm, where is the base?, September 27, 2007

By	Joe Enginerd (Chicago/Naperville) - See all my reviews

Attention BOSE Engineers, did the base sound suddenly become too expensive? The Polk Atrium 45's are much better for half the price. The high and mid on the Polk are not as good as the Bose, but they have a very even response that is nice to listen to. I am very glad the Bose came from Crutchfield who eMaild free UPS return shipping labels.

1.0 out of 5 stars BOSE IS OVERRATED & OVERPRICED, May 18, 2007

By	IamKrusty (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews

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 pair of Polk's. The BOSE speakers do not even compare to the cheaper Polk's which 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. Do the research first before just ignorantly buying BOSE.
