The LSO-5 speakers can be used indoors or outdoors since they are outfitted with glass and mineral-filled polypropylene enclosures that protect the speakers from UV rays and other weather conditions.

But let's put aside the outdoors experience and concentrate on indoor TV watching first. You can use these speakers as front or rear satellite speakers for your home entertainment system. Don't worry if the speakers default white color will not match the interior design of your room since you can repaint the speakers body any time you want.
