    I have 2 rock speakers for the backyard. I placed them near the pool and pergola. The sounds is really good with decent bass. These speakers can get pretty loud but if you turn the volume full blast you will get some distortion. The Bluetooth has reasonable range of 15ft give it take, before you start getting interference. I left them outside during AZ monsoon season and the speakers are still working without an issue. Make sure you place the speakers where they get direct sunlight. They’ve lasted me the whole day and night with a full charge. I think these speaker are great for outdoors. They look good and feel like they are made of good quality. Hope this review helps!

    these are decent sounding speakers. certainly doesn't sound like my kl*psch home speakers. they do not have much bass...would be great if they made a subwoofer to go with these! sound seemed a little better and louder streaming pandora and spotify from iphone7 vs my old samsung s4. i have not plugged them in to charge them since the initial charge. but i do live in california wheres theres plenty of sun and they stay charged. no problems keeping them linked. solar panels are angled towards back of speaker which may make placing and hiding them a bit challenging for some people. cons: the rock isn't very realistic looking. led lights on back are faint in daylight but good at night. you have to power on each speaker individually.

    The sound on these are perfect. We weren't looking for a top tier orchestra band sound, just something to be in the pool and hear some tunes. These have no problem connecting to the phones by bluetooth. The sound is pretty awesome for what we spent on these, loud enough to worry that we are disturbing the neighbors lol. The only complaint is that you can't turn them on by a remote. It's a pain to turn them on if you have them in a place that is hidden like we do. Wish there was a remote.

    Great patio necessity. Loud enough for a small party. Turns itself off too quickly if you pause the music. Then the 'Power off' announcement screams too loudly. There is no adjustment for either issue.

    This purchase was a recommendation from a friend because she knows I like to be outdoors by the pool and I was surprised not only how easy the set up was but the sound quality it produces listening to my favorite sounds while relaxing at the pool. The fact it is solar generated is a plus especially with the weather in Las Vegas.

    This is my second set of "Rock Speakers". The first set lasted about four years then the batteries punked out. Having only used these new ones twice (and having to return one after the first use since it would not hold a charge), it is not entirely clear how reliable they will be. The sound is okay, though there is no independent volume control. In this bluetooth age, one would have thought Best Buy would have a bigger wireless outdoor speaker selection. This was really it.

    I was a little sceptical of a solar charging outdoor speaker and just how long it would last or how it would sound. I was surprised that the thing gets pretty loud and sounds really good for a single speaker configuration. No it isn't your high end speaker, but for parties and ambient music around the yard it is great. Wish the charge peered it a little longer, but extremely pleased with the speaker. We have it connected to an Amazon Echo Dot via Bluetooth so we can control the volume with our phones. Definitely recommend.

    I got four of these speakers, they keep a charge wonderfully, I first charge them with the plug and ever since they have been working with the sun! Love it! Sound quality is good but needs more bass. Blends well in garden area, very good at being water proof in the rain! Good product! Once you hook up to one speaker they all link together, they turn off on their own when not in use. Only bad thing is I have to turn each one on and if you have them in a difficult spot to reach that is a issue.

    Funny I got the email to review these just as I sit in the backyard listening to The Police playing on the very same speakers. Great sound quality, simplicity of use and complete freedom to place them in the backyard without worrying about power. Love them!

    Seriously, I bought these on a whim, during a BOGO sale. I figured for less than a $100 for two speakers, why not take a risk? Simply put, I'm blown away at how well these work. They're not Bose or Klipsch, but they have amazing tone, especially at low volume which, I'm sure, was intended. They provide exceptional background music while sitting on back patio. They synch instantly to bluetooth, and range in superb when within 75 feet +/- off reach other and your music source (phone). The solar charging works great, too. Out of box, I fully charged batteries on AC and since then have yet to recharge. I live in AZ and don't have too many overcast days to deal with.

    Decent speaker, but best feature is not sound

    We bought these while considering several other outdoor-ish speakers, namely the large Sony single speaker system. We ended up buying this because it is a true outdoor speaker. We bought two of these to place on each end of the patio. The sound is decent but it is not as crisp as I expected. When the volume is cranked all the way up, the speaker distorts somewhat, but the sound is loud enough for sure (just not great). We found that keeping them about half way up to 75% produces the optimal mix of quality and volume. While I wish they would not distort at full volume, these speakers are fantastic in that once they are charged and put out on the patio, you never have to charge them again. When we walk out on the patio, we turn on each speaker (takes 10 seconds) and the speakers connect automatically to my phone and we play music. When we are done we turn off the speaker, or just leave them be (they have an auto-shutoff). No need to bring them inside EVER! The Sony speaker required we bring it in every night in case of rain and store a big speaker somewhere in the house. These are small, they kinda look like a stone, the sound is decent enough, and they work well. I plan to built to a total of 6 speakers spread around the patio and the pool so that we can have great sound everywhere without having to play each speaker too loud. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the sound distorts at the high end. I will test with different kind of music and change my rating if it turns out that the speaker can handle most loud music.

    I purchased these so that we could listen to music out by the pool. Mind you, these aren't high end units, but I'm pleased with the sound quality out of the box as they are perfect for what we wanted them for. Since they're wireless, you can flex placement to meet your needs without running wire. Haven't really tested the batter longevity just yet, but I'm happy. Give'm a try.

    These are really fun and the perfect addition to our backyard set-up. The sound is great for back ground music when entertaining... and really nice to crank it up when doing yard work. Started out with two, will probably add a couple more to create a full surround sound affect.

    First the positives. The sound is great, easy to set up, and look great. Perfect for by the pool. However... It didn't take a full year for one of them to completely die. We bought a replacement battery but that didn't fix the issue. It won't power on at all and finding a battery for it was complicated to begin with. It also has some trouble syncing with android. It is touchy to connect to blue tooth for whatever reason. The iPad has no problem though. Overall it was a great speaker and deserved 5 stars last summer...but to have only 1 out of 2 working a year later really stinks so 3 stars seems fair.

    These speakers set up easily and the sound quality is very good for use by my pool on the lanai. A good choice for a fair price if you are going wireless and have a lot of sun for solar power ability.

    Speakers perform well. Solid construction. We use it with our cellphones so with the volume on our phones all the way up speakers do not distort. Plenty loud for their size. Only wish pairing range was better. We have 2 speakers and the distance between them is only about 20 feet and sometimes the non main speaker breaks up. Could Be because the main speaker is near our foundation. Moving them closer has helped. We also find that as the day goes on this increases which could be because the speakers battery is decreasing in power. Would definitely recommend. Would even consider buying a third speaker.

    I purchased a set of solar stones 2 years ago and they have always had great quality and sound. They are easy to connect/pair and move around. Unfortunately, I left one out sitting in a puddle and it damaged the battery and wouldn't work. I purchased this new one and could not get the two to pair. What I did not know is that they have different types of solar stones and not all will pair with each other. After a call to the company, they had me send back the oldest (and working) solar stone and sent me another new one that would pair with the one I purchased at Best Buy. I received it in two days and they paired up right away. Again, great quality, great sound, and great company! Word to the wise: even though they say they are waterproof, don't leave them out in the rain if you can avoid it. A little won't hurt it but it's not a good habit.

    These were so easy to connect. Theyre bluetooth. Once 1 speaker is connected to your phone (in my case), the other speaker connects to the 1st speaker. I think you can add about 10 speakers. Theyre also solar powered so you can have them playing all day outside. They sound great! Love them! I wish my backyard was bigger so I could add more,, but the 2 work just fine!

    This speaker is okay for the price. Sound quality From one of these speakers fills my 25x25 foot yard with no problems. I have not needed a second speaker. Bluetooth pairing is consistently good. I do not leave this speaker outside after use; after the outdoor event is over i store it in a cabinet indoors. Even though it’s designed to stay outside, based on some other reviews I think it will last longer if stored inside during non use.

    I liked these speakers so much I bought a 3 one. Sounds is very good and the solar charging works well. I have once had to plug in the first 2 a bought on one occasion. You will get hours and hours and hours of play time with solar charging. Set up could not be any easier.
