Our verdict

A compact speaker pair for a deck or porch that can come inside in cold months. Water resistant is not weatherproof, so keep them out of full exposure.

Overview

Not a boombox or a Bluetooth speaker, this is a passive wired pair that needs an amplifier. Sealed cabinets and metal grilles let it handle light rain, and it can sit on a shelf or hang from the supplied brackets.

The reason to buy is one pair that works on a porch and then moves inside. The description says the speakers are magnetically shielded so they can sit near a TV. The limit is bass, since the compact woofer will want a subwoofer indoors.

Who it's for

A porch, a patio shelf or a bookshelf next to a TV suits this pair, run from an existing amplifier. Boaters, anyone needing true weatherproofing and anyone wanting streaming built in should skip it.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Works indoors and out
  • Brackets and bases included
  • Magnetically shielded for TV use
  • Sealed cabinet limits boomy bass
Cons
  • Needs an external amplifier
  • Water resistant, not weatherproof
  • Compact bass output
  • Frequency figure in specs is unclear

Performance notes

Sealed cabinets control cone movement and keep bass tight, while the dome tweeter handles the high end. Low sensitivity ratings mean a modest amplifier drives them without strain. Indoors, a subwoofer fills the lower range the small woofer cannot reach.

Frequently asked questions

What comes in the box with the Yamaha NS-AW150?

The description lists two speakers, two lengths of speaker cable, speaker bases, mounting brackets, a warranty card and a user's manual.

Are these Yamaha speakers wireless?

No. They are wired and use five-way binding posts, which accept banana plugs and other terminations.

Can I leave them fully exposed outside?

The listing says they are water resistant and made for light wind and rain, but not for full exposure such as the deck of a boat.

Can I put them near my TV?

Yes. The speakers are described as magnetically shielded, so they will not distort a TV or monitor picture.
