Really enjoying this purchase, i perfer wiring not Wireless! Loud and Super Dynamic!

ppl Its ok does not play well after you turn up the voulum

There is no static on any speaker and the sub booms!

Great option for an apartment. It may not have all the fanciest and latest tech but it does provide good sound quality and it will power bigger speakers without the need for amplification. I have 4 bookshelf speakers they all sound great. 2 are Polk 2 are Dayton Audio. My Center is Dayton Audio. My Sub is still the one that came with it which will suffice for apartment use. (Neighbors will like you for it) That being said the speakers provided are good. I just recommend upgrading over time if you are serious about your audio. That being said its hard to beat this 250 (on sale) out the door and home with a great system. Everything thinks Onkyo is off brand. It is not.... They have been in the game for a long time they know what they are doing they also share a parent company with Pioneer and Gibson. I would not pass this over if you are a beginner with a few hundred in your pocket

After three years of burnt out on me when it was working it did work well

My bluray surround system died which got me looking at upgrading for a replacement. I found this system with multiple input options along with bluetooth connectivity for a great price. The system was easy to set up and provides decent surround sound. It has 4 hdmi inputs, bluetooth along with older connections for wide compatibility. The system is a great deal for the price. My minor complaints are that the main unit is quite large to fit on a shelf. It could be a bit louder but it works fine without shaking my house. I would have also liked wireless rear speakers like my old system but I added the rocketfish system to address that. I have very happy with the system. At $249 it was a good deal.

Very easy to set up but user guide could be a little more detailed. Sounds amazing. I have it installed in an average sized basement, so the passive subwoofer is sufficient. In a larger room a powered sub would have been ideal.

Great sound quality not so much bass. Easy to use like connecting to hdmi arc and my Xbox to system and also everything linked together

I can be picky when it comes to technology. This unit is affordable And easy to set up. Too many hdmi formats, hdr, will my stuff pass through or get downgraded. I'm not a pro. I understand this stuff but it's a little crazy. I wish this sounded better. There can be quite a bit of volume adjustment when watching shows depending on the show. Gets real quiet then real loud. The center speaker is pretty poor in my opinion. Too quiet for voices. Its cheap and works on a budget.

Very good price for an excellent entry level surround sound system. Easy to set up. Controls are intuitive. Sounds very good.

I bought this system for my dad as a Father's Day gift. It was easy to hook up. It took less than an hour to hook up and hang the speakers (they're wired). However, the subwoofer is not a powered subwoofer, meaning it is controlled by the receiver. Because of this, you cannot independently control the treble and bass.

Set up process was very simple. Once connected, the Onkyo system did not fail to impress. It connected seemlessly with my TV and Fire TV Cube. It works effortlessly with Alexa’s voice controls and makes life a breeze. Even more, it sounds great connected to my turntable as well. In all reality, I will likely upgrade the speakers eventually, but I am very pleased with this purchase!

Great sound for price. Easy to assemble. Includes remote and colored wires to speakers and tuner.

I was looking for a replacement 5.1 system as my current one was on it last leg (audio de-syncing and sub popping sound from bass). I didn’t have a lot of money to spend and I didn’t want a sound bar. I did my research and this one came out on top. The audio clarity from this unit is fantastic and I love the fact I can plug in all my devices into the receiver. I did get this during the holidays for $250, but it is still worth the $299 price. If there is one down side, from what I can tell, it is not compatible with LPCM (PCM only). So my Nintendo Switch will not play in 5.1 even thought the switch detects all 6 speakers. Not really a fault of the receiver, I just wanted to point that out.

Great sound for a good price. It took some tinkering with the settings, and I had to add a bigger bass speaker, but it sounds good. Would’ve gotten 5 stars if the included bass tube wasn’t so tiny, and the interface was a little more user friendly.

This is probably the best surround system/home theater for a budget in this range. This is actually the second system I have bought because I also have an older model without Bluetooth. It is the perfect size for a bedroom, but this newer one we have in our great room (17' x 20') also seems to be doing a great job! Onkyo speakers/receivers are a great buy/product and I would recommend them to anyone looking for surround sound on a budget! I may even get another for our second bedroom and convert it to a gaming room! Watch out for a deal though!! It fairly regularly goes on sale for $249.99!

Our 16 year old Sony sound system died so we went to BB and bought a Sony A/V Receiver without the speakers since our 5 speakers and 1 woofer were still OK. The new Sony had good sound but we never could get it set right to hear and understand the dialog when watching a movie or series episode where understanding the dialog is important. We took it back and paid a little extra to get the Onkyo with all the speakers. I was expectng more of the same problems with the dialog but it works great!

Decent sound for an entry level system. If you are buying with price as your primary criterion this is a really solid system.

great sounding system!better than some other brands that was more expensive,this was a great price and sounds amazing through my tv!thanks best buy!

Purchased the system to replace an old system in my outside tiki bar. Great sound. Has enough power to cover my entire backyard. Highly recommend this system.
