Best Smart Outdoor Speaker

Polk Atrium 4

The Polk Atrium 4 checks all the boxes you’d want from an outdoor speaker, and then some. It’s a fantastic option for creating an outdoor setting sound space, down to its form factor and price. Not only is the Atrium 4 perfectly-sized at 8.6 by 6.7 by 5.7 inches, but it delivers the full soundscape of a speaker twice its size. For less than $200, you get a smart speaker to place around the backyard that’s certified for all outdoor weather, so whether it’s raining or snowing outside, you can still enjoy the same audio.
