Best Outdoor Speakers in the UK

A picnic, at-home pool party, neighbourhood concert under the stars, a BBQ on the patio - everything will be much more fun with music. And that's where the Bose ® 151 Environmental Speakers comes in. Equipped with three 6.35-cm full-range environmental drivers each, they deliver amazing full-stereo sound. And since these drivers are positioned by the Bose-own "Stereo Everywhere" technology, they ensure balanced audio throughout the whole listening zone. Nothing like conventional speakers that always tend to radiate sound in one direction only.

These portable outdoor speakers are housed in sleek, slender glass-filled cabinets that provide a year-long protection against elements. They are rain-, snow-, salt-, and temperature-resistant and can withstand even some of nature's worst conditions. Additionally, they can stand up to the incredible temperature range of -40 C to +70 C. The speakers come with weather-resistant brackets, allowing you to mount them vertically or horizontally, whatever your preference. However, note that for the "Stereo Everywhere" sound, the speakers must be installed horizontally. Overall, they are super-simple to install and work great right out-of-the-box, as they can be connected to any amplified source. The Bose ® 151 Environmental Speakers boasts a fantastic full sound and push the great volume to large areas. You can even disturb your neighbours if you wish to do so. An excellent choice for those who like it loud.

The Yamaha NSAW392 are high-quality speakers, produced from all-weather materials to withstand a temperature change and different weather conditions. To make it even more durable, the manufacturer fitted this pair with a high-quality water-resistant plastic cabinet, woofer, and fluid-cooled soft dome tweeter. Thanks to these, you can be confident in the performance of the Yamaha NSAW392 speakers no matter whether it's sunny or it's raining cats and dogs.

Most speakers look pretty much alike, however, the Yamaha NSAW392 was built in a slightly different way, with the main difference being their angled-shaped design. Such design not only makes them look more appealing but also blends nicely in most interiors and exteriors. Where the Yamaha NSAW392 wins us over most is in the kind of performance they provide - though small, this duo is capable of producing high-power sound across 60Hz – 20kHz frequency-response range, with the sound clarity being flawless in any frequency, which is nothing short of impressive given the size of these speakers.

The set includes 2 brackets that allow you to mount speakers on the floor, on the wall, on the ceiling, with either vertical or horizontal orientation. The adjustment range is 90 degrees meaning the installation options are numerous. The only catch is that these speakers won't work in large premises as well as they will in small-sized areas, so in order to get the most out of them, it's best to place them on small patios and/or in small indoor (outdoor) public facilities.

The ION Audio Sport speaker is a unique all-in-one music device that can go with you just everywhere. The thing is that this music system features a built-in rechargeable battery that provides up to enormous 50 hours of cordless sound. And once it runs low, you can connect a power cord to continue rocking out. Equipped with a woofer and tweeter, the sound is fairly loud with deep bass and clear highs.

The biggest selling point of this portable speaker is that it can be synchronized with your mobile devices wirelessly. It boasts Bluetooth capability to link to any mobile device within a 30-m range. Also, the speaker has an AUX input for non-Bluetooth devices. And once the ION Audio Sport speaker is connected, you can control playback using play/pause, next/previous track buttons right on its housing. By the way, the body is made of rugged composite materials that are IPX4 classified, so it can endure harsh weather conditions. The device has an ultra-portable footprint and a convenient one-handed carry handle for easy transportation. Yet, all fantastic features don't end here. If, for some reason, you can't synchronize the speaker with your gadgets, you can turn on the onboard FM radio to keep the music flowing. The other highlights of the ION Audio Sport speaker include the USB Port and a built-in microphone. USB 2.0 port is perfect for charging your gadgets, while a microphone is great for Karaoke. As you see, the ION company offers you an all-in-one wireless outdoor speaker that can be taken just everywhere to liven up any party or event.

If you don't want to spend hundreds of pounds on high-end outdoor speakers, the Adastra Weatherproof Speaker can be the sensible option. For less than £50, you can get a high-performance 2-way speaker for both indoor and outdoor use. If you need to get a stereo sound that will wrap you around for an immersive experience, you can get one more speaker. The sound the speakers provide is quite good with clear output and no noticeable distortion. They can go surprisingly loud for such a small casing. Each speaker is 8 Ohms, which is quite enough for most home amplifiers. Additionally, they draw a small amount of power and will never overload your amp. However, it's worth noting that you won't get deep bass from Adastra speakers.

The Bass Face SPLBOX.1 200W 3-Way Mini Box Pod Speakers are another budget option for those who need small speakers for occasional use. They can add crisp sound to any gathering to make it much more fun. Due to their unique 3-way bass reflex design, they ensure a good level of mid bass. Of course, they aren't the loudest speakers in the world, but for a set of speakers that barely costs 20 pounds, most users aren't expecting miracles.

The speakers are perfect for small rooms, gardens, or other tight spaces. They are very compact and have an unobtrusive design. Their quality is good for the price. They are very sturdily made and are marine-ready. So, you can safely take them on the boat, at the beach, or to the pool. They are supplied with angle-adjustable brackets enabling vertical or horizontal mounting. But if you're not going to mount them somewhere and just put on your shelf, we recommend you to place them on rubber feet or a mat to prevent vibrations from the plastic casing. Summing up, we can say that these speakers offer a rather good sound in a very compact casing. However, they aren't your choice if you're after super loud and clear audio.
