However, I ordered two of them and one didn't work.When I contacted the seller, I was promptly refunded upon receipt of the returned item.

if you want to use it for background music ok, but when you increase the volume you will start to feel the distortion especially in the bass, bad quality for music with more beats

These speakers sound great and look good in the garden. They blend in well with the bushes and other plants. The sound quality is crisp and clear and they have a good volume output. They get louder than is comfortable to listen to, so there's plenty of room to adjust them to a good volume. They are easy to wire and install and have a power adjustment knob so you can tune your multi-speaker 70v system. I did have a couple units where the power adjustment knob was glued in place and I couldn't turn it. Some potting compound leaked from inside the unit and glued the switch in place. I got them exchanged through Amazon and the new units did not have that problem. Otherwise, they have lasted well outdoors and still work great.

I have gone through numerous outdoor speakers that are this style.(Omni-directional, in-ground) The best for the price is the Tic GS3. My problem is; over the past 4 years I have blown 3 of the GS3's, OSD850, and a Bose. I try to stay in control, but sometimes the volume goes up (Like the time I said "Alexa: Metallica, volume 10.")I have both the 5.25 and the 8". As others have mentioned, the highs are less than desired, hence the 4 star review. But the power handling? Excellent.Don't get me wrong, they still sound good, and I would recommend.

It seems like this item has been open before. There were screws rolling around in the bottom of the box and the packaging was taped back together with packing tape. that wouldn’t concern me that much except it may be 30 days before I install the speakers so I won’t know that it works in time to return it if there is a problem.
