What customers are saying

The speakers deliver clear, immersive audio that adds a new dimension to movies and music. They provide a convenient and budget-friendly option for enhancing the surround sound experience, though they may not match the performance of dedicated in-ceiling Atmos speakers. The speakers are well-built with a solid, substantial feel and offer flexible placement options. Users report the audio quality is rich and detailed, with improvements in clarity, depth, and a more enveloping soundstage.

    Amazing speakers

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - August 5, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these for a proof of concept to help out my 12 year old B&W 683 speakers. I wanted to see if the Atmos speakers made a difference, and I expected to return these to buy fancier ones. These totally blew me away. I'm keeping them, they sound great, they do exactly what they are supposed to do. I would never have guessed that they would sound good paired with $1500 speakers but they do. My only complaint is the terrible spring clips. I used a pair of speaker pins to get my 14GA wire into them. They are paired with a full set of B&W Speakers and a Denon AVR-X3700H amp. Would recommend to a friend

    Good alternative to in-ceiling speakers

    Reviewed by - July 14, 2018

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While in-ceiling speakers may provide better sound, if they're not an option, or you're looking for some good height speakers, these definitely fit the bill. Great sounding and looking speakers. And, they won't take up a lot of space either. They come with some no-slip feet and backings as well, if you're planning on mounting them on the wall, or on top of other speakers. In my setup, they're used for Atmos overheads, bouncing sound off the ceiling. They work much better than I anticipated, allowing for more immersive movies and games (that support 3d positional sound). If you're looking for speakers to enhance your setup, these should work well.

    Awesome Speakers

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - September 29, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These speakers are great for Atmos sound effects, I hung them on my wall opposite my sofa, you can also sit them on your tower speakers if you prefer. They come with built in wall mounts for easy mounting and are angled at 45 degrees facing downward. The sound is powerful, crisp and clear, I played them on high volume and didn't detect any distortion, I was surprised by there weight I thought they were lighter because of there size. These speakers are well worth the investment if your thinking about upgrading your home theater system.

    Great Atmos Speakers for Beginners

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - July 23, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this Dolby Atmos speakers together with Sony - 1155W 7.2-Ch. with Dolby Atmos 4K Ultra HD HDR Compatible A/V Home Theater Receiver. These two are just perfect for each other. First time experiencing Atmos so it was lots of fun. Nice to hear sounds above me, bouncing from this small speakers. It's priced right and the set up is very easy. Plug and play. I paired them with Bose speakers for my front L & R. 4K movies with Dolby Atmos is just wonderful. You will not leave your house. You might as well buy popcorn in BB.

    Fit well, superior sound

    Reviewed by - July 17, 2018

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When it comes to reviewing speakers its hard to tell if a speaker is poor unless its blatantly obvious. With that being said these speakers provide a solid full sound which really adds to my surround sound experience. They work seamlessly with my current receiver and really fit nicely atop of my current speakers. Set up was a breeze, which it always is with this manufacturer. The bottom of the speakers are well designed to snugly fit with other same branded speaker towers. All in all, super easy to connect to my receiver while providing a top notch surround sound experience. Worth picking up!

    Perfect fit, sounds great!!!!

    Reviewed by - November 25, 2018

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These fit PERFECTLY on top of my Klipsch R-15M speakers. Been shopping around to find Atmos speakers that fit and are of great quality. Read so many great reviews and with the money saved on Black Friday, I bought 2 pairs for my 5.1.4 setup. Previously I repurposed my old home theater in a box Yamaha speakers for up firing. They did an ok job but the speakers being 6-8 years old, they weren't of the best quality, but did it's job for the few months I used them. The sound quality is great and these Atmos certified speakers make all the difference. Now just go through and re-watch all my 4k movies. Plus a have 7 more coming from the Black Friday sale. Definitely happy with my purchase. Highly recommend these!!!

    Great addition to my sound system

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - July 11, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been looking for awhile and these speakers are exactly what I wanted. The Sony Atmos speakers are a great addition to my surround sound system. They sound great playing music as well as making movies more like a theater experience.
