Soundcast OutCast review: Soundcast OutCast

Soundcast OutCast

The Soundcast OutCast speaker system is extremely innovative, featuring a weatherproof and completely wireless design that's a snap to set up; the included base station offers an iPod dock as well as multiple other audio-connection options; the...

The Soundcast OutCast is expensive and the speaker unit is large and heavy, which limits portability; the design is nondescript to the point of lacking any style.

The Soundcast OutCast speaker system is an excellent--though expensive--choice for those who want all the benefits of great-sounding, outdoor wireless audio without the hassles of tricky setup and weather-damaged equipment.

Soundcast OutCast Outdoor Speaker

Soundcast has embedded its wireless iPod streaming technology inside a fantastic battery-powered, self-amplified outdoor speaker. It's pricey, but building a good wired outdoor system would cost as much—even if you do the work yourself.

Dead simple; plenty of volume, good streaming range. Weatherized

Controls are iPod-specific (but it does accept line-in); no display; expensive

The OutCast is thoroughly weatherized, as long as you don’t leave anything plugged into it. Soundcast says the NiMH battery pack will deliver 10 hours of audio on a charge, but we were able to squeeze out 15 hours playing at lower volume (and leaving...

Soundcast Outcast Junior Speaker System Review

The ultimate outdoor speaker system.

About the only thing we found lacking on the Outcast Junior is an SD card slot to play your tunes from. By including an SD card reader, the Outcast Junior could’ve become a fully self-contained music system. Other than that, its a perfect outdoor...

Review: SoundCast Outcast Outdoor Speaker

Your summer barbecue tunes don't need to be relegated to an old boombox. The OutCast is a portable, weather-resistant outdoor stereo speaker system for wirelessly streaming your iPod (or any other source) music outside where the party is.

If you're comparing this to a portable radio or most other iPod speakers, $699 seems extreme. But considering all the OutCast's features and the fact that it can be part of a whole house (when combined with indoor SpeakerCast or AudioCast modules) and...
