    I currently have Onkyo Dolby enabled and added these for 9.2 sound. Probably move these to the front location and swap the Onkyo to the back. These are heavier and appear to be better to reproduce sound. I would have got the Elacs but then I would need four instead of two.

    Sounds great. The "height" function is not obvious since they sit on top of my floor mounted speakers, you hear the sound from the speaker. The concept that the sound bounces off the ceiling doesn't really work and I'm not inclined to mount them on the wall but they add something to the spatial reference.

    These definitely do the job & are made well. I wanted to add Atmos speakers when I found out that my XBox One X would output Atmos sound to my receiver. Got these speakers, configured the receiver to use the up-firing channels, and sure enough I've got the full Atmos experience for games as well as Atmos-encoded movies.

    Great sound quality. In my 800 sq ft room, the sound covers the room. Perfect for small sized room and if the space is bigger, it is probably recommended to buy another pair.

    got these for 50% off during a holiday sale. They are perfect for my home theatre sound system in my family room. We have them wall-mounted in a tight space and fortunately they're not too big. you can't go wrong with Sony.

    Thought these were cool, in theory. Can't really tell if they make a difference or not in my Livingroom. May work better if you don't have a vaulted ceiling. Can't go wrong with Sony though and they were priced very reasonably.

      Hi TheHulkTV, Thank you for choosing and purchasing our SSCSE Dolby Atmos Enabled Speakers.

To play the Dolby ATMOS effect, you need a compatible player or AV receiver. Should you need further assistance, please contact us for help. Please email the below information to [email protected]

    These Atmos speakers completed my Sony system. I liked them so much that I bought another set. After hooking them all up, I watched “Ready Player One". It sounded very theater like. The price made the purchase an easy choice.

    I'll start off by saying that I'm not particularly impressed with these speakers. For one, they are small at 4" and being a $150 kit is a bit steep. They work well IF you can find a source that naively utilizes atmos. Otherwise I think they'd be a fine purchase.. Get these on sale for ~$100-110 for a great package.

    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.

    Great for those middle channels where you don't have walls to mount speakers. I have these sitting on my mains, so they fire the sound at an angle off the ceiling to simulate side speakers.
