I like to play music on my deck outside. 1) Is this loud enough, or is this more like a computer speaker? 2) Can I keep the speaker plugged in?

I use it outside--it works for me. But it is not at all like a loudspeaker. It wouldn't work very well though for a party. Yes, you can keep the speaker plugged in if you want to.

It gets pretty loud and would work good on a deck. I use mine out at my hot tub and you can hear it good with the jets running. And you can leave it plugged in or use battery power.

I think it is loud enough on a deck for sure. I would compare it to a boom box of equal power - just not stereo. Definitely not computer speaker volume. The speaker can be plugged either to a music player and/or AC power.

We use ours in an outside bar and it is plenty loud enough. Not sure if you are wanting to use this just to play a song / songs during the ceremony (which should be fine) or wanting to use it for the reception party (def will not be sufficient). If just wanting to play some background music or a special song during the ceremony it should be fine.

Hi Shawn, this speaker would definitely NOT be loud enough on a motorcycle. It's loud enough to mount to a golf cart windshield, but not for a motorcycle. Hope this helps. Dan

I used this speaker on my outside pool deck and have it connected to a Bose Wave Music System (am-fm-cd player). I use RCA connections to the line-out jacks (on my older model) and earphone jack (using an adaptor to RCA cable on the newer model). I can tell you that the volume on the Bose has to be very loud for the system to work outdoors. My Ipod (an older model) did not have enough power to drive the speaker when used in the dock.

Probably not loud enough for your needs. It works good for outside patio area with little back ground noise.

Well, I haven't used it outside but I use it in my living room and listen in the kitchen while I'm working. I really like it but as far as range ... it depends on how well you hear. It can be very loud... Im probably not much help but it is really loud.I have never maxed it out.

Hi, I had first bought one of these that needed powered speakers, then I traded it in for this one I think. And yes that is exclusively what this is used for. We use it for our restaurant, to play spottily, and to play the iPod. It works great! I hope this helped.

It your wifi connection is strong enough and the area is small enough for the speaker to fill it, it should be OK. You might have to crank up the volume depending on the ambient noise. In an open area, I doubt you will be satisfied with the volume, unless you just want it for background.

Depends on how large your yard and your crowd is. For a party of 10-20 guests in a small yard, this can get pretty loud at maximum volume, assuming you play pop music and not classical/jazz tunes.

I have found it loud enough while out on the beach. Even playing football or out in the water a ways away you can here the music. I suppose it depends how loud your work area is. If it evolves loud machinery I really do not think any speaker this size is going to work. We have also used it for house parties and it has worked just fine even over all the talking and the television with the game on. I personally love it for what it is, a small portable speaker.

This is a very loud speaker for its size. It will be clear from 15-25 feet away but your device can't go that far from the speaker there is a limited range it can go. This is great for outdoor use. That's all I use it for. This device takes a beating at my job It gets wet and covered in dirt daily. It has never blown a speaker and works like the day I got it. It's been going strong 12 hrs a day for almost a year now this is a steel for 70 bucks!

Yes. It's loud enough to play outside. I have used it for small get togethers and baroques.it works good.

The volume is quit loud. I only used it outside at a very loud event and it worked for me. I would suggest a stand to get it at a better height.

I agree with the previous responses, if you are looking for some music on your patio or deck for a BBQ or other gathering this should fit the bill just fine. If you have a half-acre or larger area and you're hoping to have a rocking dance party and don't want to hire a DJ this will not do the job.

Yes it will be loud enough. Good little speaker but does not have Bose Quality sound. But still very good sould for little speaker

According to manufacturers info that came with mine, yes you can. It has a standared jack so I assume a outdoor speaker would work just fine.

As long as you device (iPod or whatever else you are using as source material) is near the speaker, you should be able to do this. I plan to do the same in my yard, and tested it out. Seems to work just fine.
