JBL Professional Control 85M Wired Two-Way Coaxial Mushroom Style Outdoor, Landscape, Waterproof Speaker, 5.25-Inch, 360 Degree Sound. Sold Individually. Green

Superb JBL sound. Do not over-amplify as it could cause distortion and blow these extremely expensive speakers. If you hear distortion, turn the volume down and adjust your amplifier/receiver settings to push out less dB signal. You will find that sweet spot. I’m using Yamaha receiver 150W for these speakers. Stereo direct setting. Crown amp for JBL 2210SB (subwoofer). Dual 10” drivers guaranteed to blow out any competition nearby and phenomenal for bass response. Leave the receiver settings low and use the Crown amp to do the heavy lifting for the subwoofer. You will NOT be disappointed with this setup! Always spring for higher amp output with higher quality equipment. You will thank me in the end. Speaker tilt is outstanding and necessary. Spikes are good but good be longer. Speakers are heavy but they come with adjustment tools. Make sure you have something heavier to prop them up or spike them into. Do not let them get submerged. Very satisfied.

Deep clear base. Great quality. Runs in business application for 10 hrs a day. Had it over a year and still thumping.

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.

These are great speakers. They can be very loud and they have great sound distribution. I would say they are as good as my DT6500’s and those are great speakers. They have slightly less highs but more bass, especially outdoors. The only negative up to now is they are very power hungry. I have it connected to a 140W RMS per channel amplifier and it requires 70% of the volume to even start moving them. However by 85% they are almost unbearably loud. They are connected by 12 AWG cable on a 50 ft run which is likely contributing but even directly connected to the amplifier they required a lot of power. I don’t know how these would do on a 70v/100v system as I have not tried this. This will likely improve as they break in but it is something to consider. Especially if choosing between this and the 85m as the smaller cone should require less power. Overall I am very happy with these speakers and they are a great addition to my pool sound system.

Used these to replace 4 Bose mushroom-type outdoor speakers for a miniature golf course renovation and, WOW!! what a difference! The fullness of sound was amazing! Way better bass, but in no way did the bass overpower the mids and highs as it was all really well balanced and very musical. Also what was much, much better was the distance that the speakers broadcast the music. It was clear all over the golf course with NO dead spots! That sure didn't happen with the Bose! We bolted these speakers to concrete blocks and buried them up to the sound-port - they're really solid in the ground. All in all, I'm very, very happy with these speakers!

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.

I bought a pair of them to go with my other pair of outdoor speakers. I am running Marantz separates and in order to get a halfway decent sound sound you have to turn them up to 65 percent. The existing speakers only require 50 percent to get the same sound out of them. They are a nice looking speaker but not very efficient. I would not recommend for the price.

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.
