Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this alongside a few pairs of the 8” model, a smart Power Amp and a Sonos Amp to integrate with my existing Sonos system. This provided me the perfect whole home surround audio solution I was looking for. 1 pair in small rooms and 2 pairs in large rooms are spitting fire. Not just loud but good quality sound. Definitely considering them for my media room setup in-ceiling. Plus I got them on sales so they came cheap

We had old speakers in the ceiling that traveled the country with us and had seen better days. While the sound was still decent and they had adjustable tweeters (not something common with their age), they were starting to lose their sound quality. Installing these was straightforward. I needed to open the holes from the old speakers to accommodate the additional width of this set. If possible, I suggest having help putting these up as the wire connections were hard to push initially to accept the speaker wire. Once the wires were up they simply screwed tight, but not too tight, using the built in brackets. They look good without the grills but even better with them. Attaching them was a snap as they are magnetic. Our old speakers stood out with their bulky grill design. These blend in nicely with the ceiling and sound amazing. Not sure anyone in my family even notices that I swapped them out. Only word of caution for installation is these are very deep (height into the ceiling cavity). I don't know many situations where ceiling joists wouldn't be thick/tall enough for these to fit but I suppose it could be possible.

I have a pair of 8" front speakers and had a cheap set of rear surrounds. They started to fall apart, the plastic housing was disintegrating before my eyes. Since I already had Sonance in the front, I went online to see what Best Buy had available. When I found the speakers, these 6.5 were on sale for a great price. I placed my order and in a few days, Best Buy shipped them to my door with free shipping. These were a bit bigger than my old cheap rear surround, but with the template I was able to use the existing holes with a bit of cutting. Installing both took less than 10 minutes. It probably took longer to get the ladder and tools I needed than to install the speakers. After firing up the entertainment system and making sure it all worked, I put the tools and ladder away, pick up the broken pieces of old speakers and vacuumed the room. In say 1/2 hour, I was back in the recliner enjoying a much better sounding system. Of course I tested it with the Matrix lobby and helicopter scenes as well as a number of songs. As expected, the Sonance speaker perform wonderfully.

I'm impressed with these speakers. They were heavily discounted which made me skeptical but the sound that comes from them is high quality. Scoop a pair of these up while you can. I purchased 4 total. They were pretty easy to install.

Great product. Easy to install. Sounds great. Meets all my expectations plus.

These were very easy to install and sound great! For the price you can’t beat these.

Great sounding speakers at a great price! I have 4 installed in my ceiling for home theater and they are great!!! Definitely recommend.

As others have said, these frequently go on sale, and at that price they are an excellent choice. I have installed dozens of in-ceiling speakers, and these were among the easiest. The magnetic grill cover and the ability to aim to the listener are features you don’t typically see at that price point. They remind me a lot of my trusty Speakercraft Aim speakers.

Easy to install. The adjustable woofer and tweeter are a plus. Sound great. Using them as in ceiling Dolby Atmos speakers crossed over at 150 Hz. Got them on sale at $149 for the pair.

Installation was straight forward, they sound exceptional for the price. Sonically match well with my definitive technology surrounds and fronts. Please keep in mind this system is not used for music, this is a dedicated theater system and these speakers are my in ceiling atmos speakers. They sound wonderful in my application. I inspected all the components and everything was in good order (both sets). The magnetic grills worked flawlessly and really clean up the look. I would highly recommend these for atmos setups. At $150 a set you really can’t go wrong with these.

Pairing these Sonance speakers up with a 7.1 Martin Logan setup to complete my 11.1 Atmos setup. I went in not expecting much being that I knew going in that they are entry level Sonance speakers. I was worried I would be disappointed and might be bringing them back for much more expensive set of martin logan in ceiling speakers. Ran all the wire, cut all 4 of the holes and installed all 4 of them. Sat down and put on a 4K Dolby Atmos movie and my mouth hit the floor. Not only because they matched up really well with my initial setup but the two pair of Sonance in ceiling speakers brought every detail I was missing to a much more immersive movie, gaming and television watching experience. I couldn’t be happier with these speakers and for the price you can’t go wrong. Now that I’ve had almost 2 months to break them in they sound even better than new. Listening to music through Tidal lossless audio app on all 11.1 channels they sound great. I did purchase the enclosures and have them installed as well. I personally would not use them as my main front speakers but as surround or as a Dolby Atmos setup for the cost they shine!!

I bought these to replace some polks in my living rolm. The price is usually $600 for a pair but every now and then it drops to $150. The home theater guy at best buy highly recommended these. And holy heck are these some amazing speakers! Their bass is epic and they sound amazing. I had to go back to best buy and purchase 5 more pairs to replace all my polks in my home. I recently installed a 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos system and these things do not disappoint. If you are looking for great in-ceiling speakers at a great price, then scoop these up when they're marked down to $150.

nice clean sound excellent quality easy to install i love the magnetic grills i highly recommend these speakers great value for the money

Look & sound great. I added them for rear surround. They are very clear, great bass handling without any clipping or dropping out in high volume useage. Smooth magnetic grills are almost unnoticeable. Easy installation, I am a professional but easy for anyone

I purchased these speakers when they went on deep discount in order to complete the Atmos set-up in my theater I use Def-Tech for the rest of my set-up, but at over 2.5 times the price, I decided to give these a shot, and I couldn't be more pleased. The tonal balance to my ear is really good, and because they're enhancing and not priority, it could be that it's simply "close enough". They installed simply, they look great (I have them in a dark grey matte ceiling and I left the grill off), they're directional, and they sound great.

Fantasic speakers. Using them on my sony 7.2 channel as surround in my ceiling. Besides easy install the templates to cut holes makes it easy. Just find a place, make sure their is no studs and cut then run your speaker wire. If it helps anyone who is afraid. I cut a hold were the celing and wall meets then on the bottom of the wall is where my audio bananas plug jacks are then run your wire, a little mud and put the drywall back together and paint. These speakers, you can hear someone striking a match and hear it light and burn

Building a media room in the new house. Have a 9.2 setup now but wanted to add atmos speakers to get the overhead effect. Looked at several brands but couldn't pass up the deal. They definitely out preform the other speakers I tried. Easy install. Aimable tweeter and woofer make tweeking their position a breeze. Crisp highs and great minds.

Easy installation, good quality, superior design and excellent sound. Love the magnetic grill feature. Highly recommend.

Have used these for about 6 months now and love them. Using two pairs currently for an atmos setup and am purchasing a third pair for a second zone. Install is easy, material is great and having the ability to direct the cone and tweeters really helps direct the sound properly.

I really like these speakers especially the price during the Christmas sale. I have 2 pair in two different areas of the my home. Very easy to install, Connect easily these are the only one by Sonance @ this price point very satisfied with the sound quality, mostly background music. No rap, or rock but I have checked out what they will do it they are just fine. Just fine
