I have some regular indoor speakers under my eaves. The stereo is indoors. Bluetooth will run maybe 20-30' reliably if there are no walls to travel through. My stereo doesn't do Bluetooth but I got a little Bluetooth -> RCA adapter that plugs into the stereo. Sound quality over a wire is noticeably better than Bluetooth but I find BT acceptable.

Careful, though. I've lost more than one phone to my pool!

I think the Galaxy S5 is advertised as being waterproof.


The speakers are falling apart badly, but they've been outdoors for 4 years and they're not outdoor speakers. Particle board. Also, around here the hole for the "woofer" lets critters get in. I occasionally have to clear wasp nests out of the speakers.
