What customers say about "Key Specs"
Polk Audio OS70 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speakers (Pair, White)
  • I’ve got 3 pairs of these in my yard and, for the money, are fantastic! I’ve had them for 3 seasons now with no issues.
  • I replaced my old outdoor speakers with these. They are simply awesome! Thank you Polk - I will buy more of your speakers.
  • This is my second set of these speakers. Loved the first so much I had to get a second for another backyard zone. Clean sound, solid build, excellent outdoor durability.
  • They are powerful enough to fill the entire yard with great sound.
  • They only lasted for about 9 months and won't work. The sound just disappeared. Got in contact with the company and they will not warranty them.
Polk Audio Atrium 4 Outdoor Speakers
  • Lots of sound for small speakers. Great quality too. Would definetly recommend to anyone. Great price. Easily powered by a 50W RMS amplifier.
  • 80 watts power handling plenty to spare in volume all you need is a decent receiver and you wont be disappointed
  • These speakers rock! Do not expect to get night club power, but the quality is great for normal level listening. the sound quality is amazing for such a small speakers. I love them!
  • Installed these on my boat with a Dual AMB600w 240 watt receiver and they can't handle the 60 watts going to them. Was pretty surprised considering their 80 watt rating.
  • Not as powerful as I had hoped for an outdoor space but quality is very good and they look great.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Polk Audio OS70 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speakers (Pair, White)
  • Nice sound and volume given their relatively small size. As described, good amount of bass, too.
  • Easy to install & great sound. Sound quality is very good for the size of the speakers.
  • They are decent enough size to provide some base and not sound "tinny". Installation was relatively easy; just required a couple of tools.
  • The OS70 are a perfect size for the pack porch! Very, very great speakers and for the price, hard to beat!
  • A heavy speaker for such a small size. It can easily tear out the mounting and fall because it is heavy.
Polk Audio Atrium 4 Outdoor Speakers
  • They are the perfect size and weight for what I needed. They seem very solid and durable.
  • Great speaker for there size. Easy to mount. Overall very good deal.
  • These are a good size. I didn't want to spend the extra money on the bigger Atrium 5/6/8 and I haven't been disappointed. They fit great in the corners of my deck.
  • The sound quality is good and they have good weight, which typically indicates a quality speaker (big magnet).
  • Very easy to install and the construction appears sturdy

What customers say about "Audio"
Polk Audio OS70 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speakers (Pair, White)
  • At low volume, the separation between frequencies is outstanding and when you turn it up, the music is thumpin! And no distortion whatsoever.
  • Bass response is tight, but not over exaggerated. Bass is good, but more of a mid range shiner, vocals sound very realistic, highs are nice and clean even through MP3.
  • Great speaker for the budget we had available. Crisp sound, tight midrange, and decent bass response.
  • They offer good dynamic range and a level of response that allows me to enjoy my music while in the garden.
  • It would seem like the combo of the Polk's woofer and tweeter should be better, but the frequency response of the speakers seems similar between both speakers.
Polk Audio Atrium 4 Outdoor Speakers
  • Theses speakers reproduce high and low frequencies very nicely. Bass is solid and not boomy.
  • Mounting bracket allows for vertical or horizontal mounting with easy angle adjustment thanks to solid screw on end caps.
  • The volume is excellent, the frequency range is quiet good...and they have no problem pushing all the volume we need to the pool area.
  • Good low frequency. Flexible installation and adjustable positions as advertised.
  • While the sound from these Polk's is good, I was really expecting more from the lows and highs based on the price of these speakers. I had read that the frequency range of these isn't that great, so I should have been better prepared.
  • These speakers despite the name are quite unimpressive. they sound muddy, and do not seem to have a full range.... no real low frequency or high frequency response.
