Pros: Bluetooth wireless easy to pair.
Voice prompts to tell you when it's on and when it's paired.
Feels heavy sturdy overall.
Sound quality is very decent for small 5" woofers.
Very inexpensive for what you get.

Cons: Ball joint on mount seems a bit weak.
Upon closer inspection, paint finish is already cracking a little.

Other Thoughts: I wanted to mount some speakers on our pergola but wasn't sure to get powered speakers or passive ones and run long speaker wires from my receiver inside my house. Since these are self powered and have Bluetooth built in to boot, it was a no brainer when I saw them on sale for $50.

I played with them a lot indoors before finally mounting them outside. They sounded very good for the smallish 5" woofer and 3/4" tweeters, the highs were especially crisp. considering I only used a Bluetooth connection, which probably compromised the sound quality a little. Good thing is, these also take RCA line inputs (The Bluetooth connection take precedence if both inputs are connected). I did have to turn the BASS knob to about 3/4 max to get the desired lows, which still weren't great, but again, considering the size, more than passable. Volume was plenty loud for my yard. The loudest I would personally play them was about 3/4 max volume. Anything beyond that, I'd be afraid of disturbing the neighbors if they had their windows open. Bluetooth was a breeze to pair, and I could pair with more than one device. However that meant, each time you power on the speakers, it's a race between which device connects. To get around this, I open the Bluetooth menu on the device I want to use and start a connection to the speakers before actually turning on the speakers. This typically causes said device to win the race. And it's really nice that the speaker has voice announcements when a device connects. It also is nice it announces when you turn on the speakers, especially since I have them mounted up high and turn it on with a switched outlet instead of using the on/off switch on the back of the speaker, which I just leave in the on position.

After mounting them outside is when I started noticing a few of the flaws of this set. First of all the ball joint connecting the speakers to the mount, is great for positioning the speakers, but felt a little on the flimsy side. It's completely plastic which makes me worry it will get loose over time. You can tighten the ball joint with a hex wrench, but still, the plastic didn't give me much confidence seeing how these are meant for outdoor use. Second, after getting up close and personal with them during the mounting process, I saw several fine cracks in the paint finish. Again, since these are meant for outdoor use, I can only imagine the cracks getting progressively worse, especially in the dry heat in our area (Northern California). During summer, it's typically between 80-90F, and maybe about half a dozen times each summer it can reach over 100F, so we'll see how these hold up over the years. Good thing is the rear covers protect the connectors and knobs on the back of the speakers very well.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the speakers, especially at only $50 for the pair. The Bluetooth connectivity is what really sold me since I mounted them out of reach. I just hope they last at least 3-5 years.
