Bose 151 SE Environmental Speakers

Refusing to be bound by the elements is one of the features that keeps the British spirit alive, and it seems that our American cousins have taken a leaf from this fine book as well. Masters of the Stereo sound system, Bose, proudly launch the new...

Withstand the elements, sturdy mounts for outside

Having to have a secure garden

Overall, if you are after Glyndebourne in your garden, but know the weather is more prone to generate a Glastonbury mud-fest, these will make those evening outside more bearable. All you have to do is find somewhere to shelter from the downpour to...

Bose 151SE Environmental

Great sound, can be heard in most of the garden without needing to be set at a high volume.

As is always the case with Bose products, they are more expensive here in UK than in USA.

Good but no bass sound

I had to buy my on vacation and didn't even get to hear them prior to purchase from the factory outlet. When installing this outdoors spent a little extra money and run a sealed end plug wire instead of using crimp-on caps the wire will corrode from...

The sound that comes out of these speaker is beyond compare. Great high and mid-range sounds but no bass as these are additional coverage speakers if you are running a four speaker system. To get the bass notes go with the Bose 251, which is the best...

Not enough mounting options, there is just one bracket that will lock in place when mounting I would love to have a drop mount. Also like i mentioned earlier to get the full music notes you have to add a separate sub-woofer system

Typical Bose GREAT

Clarity and fidelity to reproduction is superb. Typical Bose. They are wonderful to listen to and beyond compare to other speakers. They do what they are suppose to do. Well worth the extra money to get the better quality.
