    I bought these speakers as an open box item for $105.00 to add Dolby speakers for my newly purchased 7.1 /Dolby Atmos receiver. These are upward firing speakers and are supposed to reflect downward from the ceiling ,but I did not get that result. The room has about an 8 foot ceiling but ceiling is tiled. I put speakers high on back wall for better sound. Sound is functional but does not sound full range. I isolated speakers during opening scenes of Top Gun : Maverick and did hear sounds isolated to Dolby speakers.

    Small, compact set of speakers that can work well for a small room with the right height ceiling. They can be set on top of existing towers or up on the ceiling if that is possible. A good set for the price, and a nice starting set.

    They add some immersion to the home theatre experience but not much more. Tidal does have atoms music and sounds great in these and extends soundstage as they should but must have correct content to maximize use or bang for buck

    These Sony Atmos Speakers have brought a wonderful nuance to my 7.2 system... it is like being engulfed in sound... rather than just the distinctness of each speaker firiing durning a movie... the atmos speakers seem to permeate the sound field and add a new dimension... I highly recommend them and am very happy with this purchase! Once again Best Buy came through on price, information and fast shipping...

    Decent speaker with solid construction. Gives fullness sound in the room but not quite that good to get the Atmos effect, maybe it is the layout of my room.

    The final step to our home theater without cutting holes in our ceiling. It helps to increase the volume level on theses speakers since bouncing off ceiling. Great option. Would buy again.

    Nice weight to these speakers. I'm using them in a small room so I can't really take advantage of them. When tested them in a larger room they did what I expected.

    Quality speakers. But minimal impact to the overall surround sound experience. They do work but not a game changer. Bought these half price so for me it's worth it.

      Hi Wamp,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the SSCSE speakers. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. These steps may help improve your experience:

      -Set the automatic sound field correction of the AV receiver again.
      -Check the surrounding setting on the AV receiver.
      -Check that the sound source of the software you want to play is a surround sound source.
      -Make sure that the AV receiver is Dolby ATMOS compatible. To play the Dolby ATMOS effect, you need a compatible player or AV receiver.

      Enjoy the latest in cinematic sound innovation in your own home. The SS-CSE speakers designed especially for Dolby Atmos result in surround sound that envelops you from every angle – even above. No mounting is required, simply place it on top of your current bookshelf, or floor standing speakers, for an even more realistic immersive experience. Thanks for choosing Sony!
