What's great about it: Loud, clear and looks great
What's not so great: Nothing I can think of
We have had these speakers for nearly three years now and they have endured two winters and lot s of rain. We played them on winter nights while in our hot tub, and only on the coldest, below zero nights did they sound a little stressed just like a car speaker would when it's very cold. Otherwise they are loud, clear and full of bass. We couldn't be happier with them and are even purchasing another set for another project. They look and work great and are still going strong.
This product has... Right size for my space, Easy to set up, Good build quality

I recently set up a rear pair of insignia rocks and a front pair of Yamaha outdoor speakers. I ran the insignia rocks with landscape 16 gauge outdoor wire. The insignia are about 11 feet out of the recommended "range" of my seating area and they sound absolutely amazing! We only use the insignia rocks for everyday music use because they sound so amazing! I add the Yamahas when we host sporting events....which are a nice addition. If, when, I have a bigger yard, I will absolutely add 4-6 more of these rocks. Best purchase I have made for my outdoor entertainment area to date.

What's great about it: very easy to set up and love the all weather speaker wires that come with them.
I have these speakers hooked up to a 1000 watt Yamaha receiver outside on my patio. People have commented how good they sound. I am going to buy another set so I can have surround on my patio.

Did not expect such a good sound from an inexpensive speaker set. Connected to an old logitech z 5450 home theater system with sub woofer and the system rocks! Contemplating another set to immerse the pool and spa area in sound. sound quality is on par with much higher priced systems......and coupled with airport express hooked to receiver makes it all the more enjoyable.......in fact I am typing this review on my iPhone while sitting the the spa controlling my sound system with my phone!!

What's great about it: Sound quality and value for the price
What's not so great: Wish they came in different colors
I have to say that I'm quite satisfied with these rock speakers. They aren't fooling anyone with their appearance, but they do blend nicely in the back yard. The sound from these things is actually somewhat amazing.
I was looking to buy the Bose 360 degree speakers for over $400 a pair. I happened to be in Best Buy for a totally unrelated reason, and heard these being demoed in the front of the store. I believe I only paid $79 for the pair. I figured at that price, how could I go wrong? And boy was I right! These things sound amazing. The highs are there, and they even have a little bit of bass kicking when needed.
My July 4th party this year is going to sound great. My only regret is that I didn't pick up another pair at the time. They are back to regular price now.
They do provide you with a somewhat short lenght of speaker cable, so if you pick these up, you'll need to get some extra.

What's great about it: Great price and sound.
What's not so great: Nothing yet.
I've waited to review these until now to see how they would hold up outside. Well, I've had them for 2 years now and have no problems with them. I live in Wisconsin and bring them in for the winter, but leave them out from spring until fall in the rain and all other conditions. Can't beat the sound or duribility for the price, well worth it.

These are great speakers. They have stood up to the 100+ temp.'s of TX this summer and work great. Clear, not crackly at all. I've gotten them wet a few times with the water hose and didn't seem to make a bit of difference, still working great! Sometimes waterproof doesn't always mean waterproof, but it does with these. Great set of speakers, great value for the price. Pleased with this purchase :)

What's not so great: waiting to find something...
i have been looking into a few different choices for outdoor speakers for the last few months, before finally settling on these insignia speakers. i didn't want to mount the speakers, and these allow for super easy placement and movement. they also included fifty feet of outdoor speaker wire.
i have used the speakers daily for the last two months and i couldn't be happier with them. they were extremely easy to set up and the sound quality has been great.

What's great about it: Sound great when working. Enough sound to cover the backyard.
What's not so great: Product didn't last long with me having to make arrangement to replace the product.
I purchased the Insignia Rock Speaker on 07/26/2010 in preparation for upcoming backyard event (cookout). After placing the speakers in my backyard they only lasted about 1.5hr. The BASE (Woofer) went out. I thought it was my receiver or the gemini iTRAX for my iPOD. I hooked up a second set of speakers and had no issue with the base. I am glad I purchase the 4YR Home Spkr BTP. The downside is that the closes BEST Buy is approx. 1 hr drive (What an inconvenience). I hope this was just an isolated incident. Time will tell when I replace them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's not so great: Needs a little more base
Good speaker for the price. Great look and price. I had a recent party and speakers could be heard over my half acre lot without any problems. Me and my wife also relax while listening to them in the back yard. My only wish is they had a little more base, other than that a 4.6 out of 5 rating.

What's great about it: Easy to hookup, reasonable price, speaker wire included.
What's not so great: Nothing
I had a pool party recently and had issues with the sound. with just a single set of speakers, if I turned it up loud enough to be heard in the pool, the people between the pool and the speakers couldn't talk over the sound and when I turned it down, it couldn't be heard in the pool.
I read the other reviews and they were very positive. One of the reviewers recommended getting two pair for better balance over the whole yard area and I would have to agree that if you can swing it, it is best to get two pair.
The speakers have very good mid and high range response and the happen to blend in very well with the other rocks we have in the yard. The bass is as good as you can get based on the price and size. I ended up hooking up a sub woofer along with these speakers and that solved the problem.
I got them for 99 per pair which seems like a good value to me based on their performance.

What's great about it: Great look, impressive sound. As other reviews say no bass, not a big deal as the neighboors dont much appricated bass.
What's not so great: If I had to come up with something, maybe an additional 50' chunk of wire. The provided 50' was a great additional plus
Great speakers, excellent gift or in my case gift card purchase. I would recommend buying 4 if your covering more than a 12' x 12' area, so you can keep the sound level low and have uniform sound. The counter to that statement is 2 speakers will fill 80 sq ft just fine, you just wont be able to hear eachother talk setting out on the back deck.

What's great about it: The sound quality and the free 50ft of speaker wire
What's not so great: nothing really, you get what you pay for and more
The speakers have decent sound. The bass is pretty good. For the price you can't beat the sound quality. My wife and I bought 2 pairs (4 speakers) for around our pool / patio. We would have been fine with only 2. Thats' how loud they get. I had to connect one pair to a 150ft run of wire, and they still sound good coming all that way from the receiver. We are very pleased. If they hold up to the weather I will be even happier. Go ahead and buy these!

What's great about it: These new speakers are an improvement over the old ones. Much more depth to the sound.
What's not so great: Not enough wire included in the package.
The look much like the old ones except slightly larger. They now have a bass and tweeter vs the old one speaker, so the sound is much better. I've had the old ones for 3 or 5 years and have been very happy them. With the new sound, I'm hoping they fail so I have an excuse to replace them.
