Our verdict

A single rock-style outdoor speaker that hides in a flower bed or beside a pool. Water resistance is stated both ways, so shelter it and confirm before leaving it in heavy rain.

Overview

A garden bed, a patio edge or a poolside corner is where this speaker is meant to sit, disguised as a granite rock. The plastic shell houses a woofer and is connected to an amplifier by speaker wire.

The reason to buy is a speaker that blends into landscaping and covers an outdoor area. The limit is weather data: the description says weatherized, yet the specs say not water resistant, and the listing is a set of one.

Who it's for

A backyard with an amplifier and a run of speaker wire can use it to spread sound across planting beds. Someone wanting stereo from one order, or needing a proven waterproof rating, should look further.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Disguised as a rock
  • Lightweight for a floor speaker
  • Five year warranty
Cons
  • Water resistance data conflicts
  • Needs an external amplifier
  • Listing power fields conflict

Performance notes

A single woofer drives the sound, so coverage depends on where the rock is placed and on the amplifier feeding it. Stereo needs a second unit. Low frequencies are limited by the plastic housing and the woofer size.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Klipsch AWR-650-SM a pair or a single speaker?

It is one speaker. The title says each and the item type says set of 1.

Is the AWR-650-SM Bluetooth or powered?

No wireless is listed. It is connected by speaker wire to an amplifier, though the power field says battery powered, which conflicts with the rest of the data.

Can the Klipsch rock speaker stay outside all year?

The description calls it weatherized, but the specs say not water resistant and not waterproof. Keep it sheltered unless the maker confirms otherwise.
