Bose Soundtouch 251 Outdoor Speaker System White

Yamaha A-S501 85w. x2 into 8 ohms. I use it to power Bose 251 outdoor speakers.This amp fills a huge soundstage with detailed depth. The controls are simple. The silver finish [in stock at B&H] is a clean smart look. B&H came through again. Great stock, the right price and swift delivery.

I have 4 sets of the Bose 251 speakers and have loved each installation. I have used them for my whole house audio system (placed under the eaves in our back yard) as well as a 5.1 system setup in a square 4-car garage. The Bose 251's always sound a little better when you add a subwoofer (like my 4-car garage); but for most stereo outdoor applications, a sub-woofer is not needed nor is it practical. The Bose 251's are a little pricey, but they do last a long time due to their excellent build quality.

I’ve been a Bose fan for years. But I was always looking for an outdoor speaker system for my deck. I always thought the bigger the speaker, the bigger the sound right? This unit packs a big punch for a portable. Thank you Bose!

So..... I have been, or was, a Bose customer for 35 years. I recently replaced our entire Bose system that included the Lifestyle Soundtouch 535 series III, 3 Bose Soundtouch 20's, 1 Soundtouch 30 and one 10. We replaced it with 6 Sonos one's, 2 Sonos Five's, 1 Move, 2 Arc's and one Sub. Every aspect of the new Sonos system is substantially better than the Bose products that we had. First, the sound is MUCH better. The home theater is amazing, we are hearing sounds that we never heard before. We play music all day and the sound throughout the house is absolutely awesome! The App is excellent, much better than Bose Soundtouch and with a ton more features, like an alarm that we can set to wake the entire house. And technical support is a 10! The build quality is outstanding and the unboxing experience is pretty darn awesome. Setup is so simple. I never was able to set up any of the Bose Lifestyle systems, and I've had 5 over the years, without calling support. I also love the history of Sonos.

Bought these speakers 4 months ago. I have always bought bose products, so when the time came when I needed outdoor speakers, of course I looked at Bose. As I researched the 251 and came across a few negative reviews. These made me doubt a little and started researching other speakers. After a while, I came back to the Bose 251 and the Bose amplifier and finally made the purchase. I installed them with the included brackets outside my house, and downloaded the Bose app.Played some music and the moment the sound came from those speakers I asked my self how I could ever have doubted Bose. The sound is absolutely incredible. I have no idea what any reviewer could have found at fault with these speakers other than perhaps the price. What I say is you are paying for quality and that's exactly what you get. Their size is perfect. The sound and the base are crisp and rich. Everyone that comes to my house marbles at the sound that comes out of these speakers. So glad I went with my heart. Thanks Bose for another great product.

These speakers matched my 2.1 Bose speaker system.

Truely this product rocks had Bose speaker system. This is much better

Hi Bose, This addition to the Soundbar 700 and SoundTouch 300 is absolutely fantastic and elegant. I had the other surround rears but now having the new 700 rears its a big change. The look is a major difference.... absolute quality.... The sound is great but...... it needs to get a tad bit louder. It’s good enough but I would love to turn it up a tad more. BOSE, I have heard this from other people as well.. please do a software update, you could make this even better if you did!

Extremely easy work with Echo Alexa the sound quality much better than the Bose soundtouch.

Bose 251 lives up to its reputation. Good ol’ wired speakers that produce that AMAZING sound that Bose is known for. I have used these for my indoor fitness studio and they are more than enough. If you are in the market for outdoor speakers these are the ones, don’t hesitate!
