The Klipsch KH0-7 outdoor speakers are one of our top picks, and for good reason. The KHO-7’s perform excellent in virtually every metric while being very competitively priced. If you’re looking for a set of speakers to provide sound for a mid-sized outdoor area, we can’t recommend these enough as a great choice. Keep reading for a full Klipsch KHO-7 Review. You can read more about our rating system here.

Power: 9/10 – The KHO-7’s have a 75 watt nominal power rating and a 300 watt peak power rating, which is by far the most power we’ve seen in a set of outdoor speakers for the price range they reside in. They also have a frequency response range of 65 Hz – 20,000 Hz. The low end of the range ensures a full bodied sound with strong bass, which is particularly important for speakers to sound good outdoors. On top of that, with a 92 dB sensitivity rating, these speakers will be able to provide very loud sound with less power. All in all, these speakers possess excellent power & quality related specifications.

Aesthetics & Style: 4/5 – These speakers are definitely designed with quality and utility as a priority, so they have a somewhat plain classic look. Though, they don’t look bad by any means. Unfortunately, they only come in one color, and some users have reported that the grills may get a little rusty if exposed to high levels of water. The speakers are designed to be paintable though, so if you’re willing to remove the grill and prime/paint it you can prevent that potential problem.

Portability & Convenience: 4/5 – The KHO-7’s are 12.2 x 6.8 x 8.2 inches and 6 pounds each. they should be fairly easy to move around and set up. Also, each speaker comes with a C bracket mount if you want to mount them on a wall.

Durability: 4.5/5 – These speakers are designed to permanently reside outdoors and are fully UV, water, and dust resistant. You don’t have to worry about leaving them in potentially harsh outdoor conditions over the long term.

Warranty: 5/5 – All Klipsch outdoor speakers come with a lifetime warranty if bought from an authorized dealer (this includes Amazon.com!). Not only that, but if the speakers break and have been discontinued, Klipsch will replace them with a newer and potentially better model. You know Klipsch truly believes in their products if they have something like this in place.

Price: 10/10 – The KHO-7’s are one of the best priced set of outdoor speakers for the quality and power you get.


Bottom Line – 9.2/10

The Klipsch KHO-7′s are one of our top picks because they are arguably the best deal on the market for what you get as far power, quality, and support. Other speakers with these specs can often retail for twice as much. Klipsch is a highly acclaimed brand by audiophiles, and the KHO-7′s are a high quality and affordable choice for a great outdoor sound system that will sound awesome for many years.
