    I bought these speakers because I wanted to add front height chanels to my 7.2.2 setup. They are great for this (and even for surround chanels). The speakers came very well packaged and the box included the necessary parts to hang the on the wall, mount them stands and, of course, you can also set them on top of your front L and R speakers and bounce the sound on the ceiling (This is what I do). All in All, great value for your money; 100% recommended.

    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.

    Used these to watch some atmos & dts:x content. Used my Sony 4k player to watch Jurassic Park, Ready Player One, & Hans Zimmer Live in Prague! These atmos speakers definitely made a difference! It's very subtle, but noticeable on certain content! Love them! Placed them on top of my Sony front speakers.

    Nothing will replace ceiling speakers for an Atmos setup, but not everyone has the luxury of being able to have them installed. These speakers are a great compromise and value. They are low profile and add a bunch of ambience to the sound. They work especially well in smaller rooms. I'm happy with my purchase.

    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.

    I wanted to add a greater sound field to my home theater. I purchased most of the Sony Core Series last Christmas. I liked my setup a lot but only had a 5.2 receiver. I decided to add the Sony elevation speakers and a Denon receiver. Now my set-up is complete and sounds amazing. I now have 2 Towers with elevation speakers on top, two subs, center channel, and two shelf speakers for the rear channels.

    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

    Great if you can get them on sale, paid $124. I did place them on my bookshelf speakers and did get some atmos effects. I recommend placing them higher up on your wall angled at the ceiling, the atmos effect was much more pronounced.
