What to consider when buying outdoor speakers<\/h2>\n
One of the first things to consider when buying outdoor speakers is battery life. Battery<\/span> technology has improved so much that I wouldn\u2019t recommend a speaker with less than 10 hours play time. The larger portable designs can manage over 24 hours, and some even have USB ports for charging your phone while on the go. <\/span><\/p>\n
Another thing to consider is connectivity. <\/span>The Sonos Roam can connect to Wi-Fi for at-home use, and Bluetooth when out of range. Most speakers just have Bluetooth, with a 3.5mm port for wired connections to music players. The latest Bluetooth 5.0 has a 120-metre range, compared to version 4.2 which only manages 30 metres.<\/span><\/p>\n
You need to also make sure the speakers are suitable for garden and outside use. <\/span>If a speaker is IPX4 rated, it is splashproof and ideal for garden use. <\/span><\/p>\n
Be aware that speakers designed for alfresco use are rigorously tested against moisture, dirt and temperature fluctuations, but for occasional garden speakers, check the IP (Ingress Protection) rating. These two numbers indicate the speaker\u2019s ability to keep out dust (first number) and water (second digit), so an IPX4 speaker hasn\u2019t been rated for dust but is splashproof, IPX7 can survive a shower, IP66 is completely dust-tight and hose proof, and IP68 can be submerged for 30 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

What if you don\u2019t stream music? <\/span><\/h2>\n
The days of the portable CD player are over, but with a little planning you can bring your existing hi-fi into the sunshine. Wall-mounted outdoor speakers \u2013 try Polk Audio\u2019s Atrium range and Bowers & Wilkins\u2019s sublime AM-1 speaker \u2013 require wiring, but are impervious to the weather and have been tuned to work in wide-open spaces, so the detail in your music isn\u2019t simply lost to the environment. If you have a large garden and distant or understanding neighbours, you can extend your sound system to all corners using in-ground speakers, mounted on spikes, or those disguised as rocks, both available from Klipsch (see left) and Sevenoaks Sound and Vision. Installation isn\u2019t difficult and the results can be wonderful, but cables do need to be well buried to avoid the mower or being accidentally dug up.<\/span><\/p>\n
