Herdio6.5 Inches Indoor Outdoor Bluetooth Speakers Waterproof with Powerful Bass,Wall Mount Speakers Wired Weather Resistant for Patio Home Deck Porch Backyard 400 Watts(Black)

I don't believe that I meet the traditional definition of an audiofile, but I'm close. I am a blind musician with a mild addiction to speakers of all types. My house is filled with smart speakers, portable speakers, studio monitors, sound bars, and even PA systems. Dollar for dollar, these are some of the best value speakers I own, at least in terms of sound quality.I sort of wish I could have given these speakers 4.5 stars. To me, they feel a bit, shall we say, lightly built. Mine arrived well-packaged, but both speaker grills were dented noticeably, and they flex so easily that I decided not to try to exchange them, sure that the next set would probably have either arrived dented, too, or that they would have dented easily, anyway. However, my wife says that, since the speakers are black and since I installed them in the corners of my covered patio, the dents aren't very noticeable, at least visually. Nevertheless, my first impressions of these speakers on unpacking them wasn't exactly to be super impressed.When I get a new set of speakers, I always test the audio quality before mounting them. This way, I don't have to go through all the trouble if they sound like garbage. My friends, these speakers do not, in any way, sound like garbage. They project balanced, rich sound at acceptable volume levels, and I was eager to get them up on the wall.Mounting these bad boys was super easy. The mounts are exactly the same type which I have installed before. Two screws, thread the wire through the whole in the center, and tighten the speakers into place. I took the liberty of drilling a whole in the side of the house and threading the power cable through it, then attaching it to a smart plug on the other side. The speakers don't have a power switch, and I hung them so high that I wouldn't be able to reach one if it were present, and I wanted an easy way to power them on and off. Enter the smart plug, which I control with my Amazon app and smart speakers.Almost every speaker review I've ever read focuses on the sound of a speaker's bass and how loud it can get. These speakers get fairly loud--I won't be running them at full volume unless I want to alienate my neighbors. They also pump out a respectable amount of bass for their size. The two things that impress me most, though, are that they have a warm, balanced sound across the frequency spectrum and that they actually still sound great at low volumes.To my ears, the bass sounds rich, the highs are crisp without sounding at all harsh, and mids are forward enough to be enjoyed without giving off that terrible impression of listening to music through an old phone receiver which some budget speakers do. Hard rock sounds punchy and loud, jazz sounds full, and pop sounds... well, like pop, I guess is the best thing I can say.One traditional failing of budget speakers is that they typically don't perform very well at low volumes. I get it. Most people these days seem to be obsessed with whether their speakers can shake their pool decks and irritate the neighbors in a quarter mile radius. Mostly, those low-cost speakers of which I speak, as well as a fair number of higher-end speakers, tend to sound tinny and limited at lower volume levels. The punchy thuds enjoyed at high volumes turn into anemic little pops at low volumes. Mid-high frequencies disappear, until the sound isn't much better than what you could get directly out of your smart phone. This is not, however, what happens with these Herdio speakers. I was so pleasantly surprised to hear that the warmth which I enjoyed at high volume levels still comes through at low levels that I talked to my wife about it for long enough to be annoying. On making this discovery, I giddily experimented with listening to all sorts of music on my patio at very low volumes. Classical music, Celtic music, jazz piano tunes, ghoral music, light rock, and folk music all sounded great. I'm not saying that you won't want to make a few alterations to your EQ settings here and there. I'm just saying these speakers are legit, folks. And not because they'll make you go deaf. They probably won't do that. What they will do, though, is help to create a nice, rich listening experience in whichever oasis you choose to put them in.If you're like me, you may be hesitating to purchase these speakers on account of their low price. Take my advice. Do not hesitate. You cannot find a pair of patio speakers that sound any better at this price point, or even for $100 more. A buddy of mine just put a pair of Polk Audio Atrium speakers on his patio, for which he paid over $200, and these little Herdios blow his Polks, which I like, too, right out of the water. Think no longer or harder about your purchase. Just buy these.

My review is more like a 4.5.Speakers sounds really good for the price. They were installed under a balcony at my parents with a recreation / pool house building.Bluetooth works GREAT and it was super easy to pair after the main speaker is plugged in.Cons: no way to turn off the speaker(s). There is no on/off so they are always on. Let’s say by the pool you wanted them off, well you have to unplug the main speaker. This means the blue light, seen thru the speaker grill, is always on. The speaker wire provided was not long enough (it’s a decent length for mostpeople) so I used car audio speaker wire that was better quality. Also, no mounting hardware included for brackets so plan on using your screws or Tapcoms based upon your install.Note: we previously had speakers installed in the same place so I was able to utilize the existing amounts that we had up…Overall, my gripes are minor. If they last 2-3 years I’ll be happy at this cost.

These speakers were very good while they lasted. I purchased a pair in May of 2024 and as I write this it is the end of July 2025. We live in Iowa, so we have all of the weather/seasons. They were stored inside over the winter, and last year I brought the speakers inside anytime we knew there was a big rainstorm on the way. They worked until last week. They still get power and show they they are connected to Bluetooth, but there is no sound. They are just a couple of months past the one-year warranty. I am going to buy them again, but I'm getting the extended warranty. I'm choosing to re-order because I already have the brackets, speaker wire, and power in place for these, and while they were working, the sound quality and volume was very good. Being able to swivel the speakers in their brackets allows us to point them to different areas of the backyard and patio.

Originally my review was 3 stars.Nothing special, if they break I will buy better ones. I would give 5 stars but the grills were all dented up.They sound very good for the money. If you need a little more for an outdoor tv, this is perfect imho.When outdoor tv's are in shells or cases, the tv speakers sound horrible. This fixes that for not much risk cost. Overall, I amgood with them. These are decent, you can just buy better ones or put them in a garage if you decide to upgrade.UPDATEManufacturer offered a full refund for my dented grills. Not sure if i accept it or not. But I would feel good about this seller and their commitment to the customer.

These get loud! They sound great, have a good amount of power, and look good on the side of my house. They feel solid enough in the hands. Not a crazy amount of bass, but it’s a outdoor speaker; you aren’t going for a lot of bass
