Didn't make it better
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Under the right circumstances these might be awesome. I have the set-up to utilize dolby atmos and movies with atmos didn't sound very different. I got a better sound with my 7.1 hook-up putting the sony core series book shelf speakers back up. They just didn't have the volume that the others have.

Posted .Hi Bluespower,
We regret to hear that it hasn't lived up to your expectations. The unit is designed to provide its performance as a Dolby Atmos-enabled speaker when installed on the front speaker horizontally. These steps may also help improve your experience:
-Set the automatic sound field correction of the AV receiver again.
-Check the surround 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.
Sony takes all feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Mehh
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using these as upfiring Atmos speakers. They do the job well but lacking a bit in mids and lows. They do perform as they should but wish I spent a bit more for something better.

Posted .Hi Gozz7, thank you for your review. We really appreciate your input, and we will surely take note of it as we always strive for the best customer experience. The sound quality may enhance depending on the settings and differ from sources. We are not sure what model/brand of amplifier or AV receiver you have these speakers connected to, however, please make sure that the setup and installation are correct. You may refer to the installation guide that we have on this link https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4735/71c058e4c7385e627f27472574d04a8b/47356710M.pdf.

Great addition to my system
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive used these over the past several days to listen to music and movies from various different formats including 4k DVD, net radio, satellite TV and several streaming sources and these are pretty awesome speakers for their size. They are a bit heavier than i thought they would be, but the output is amazing. I have these paired with a Dolby Atmos compatible receiver and while playing a Dolby Atmos enabled DVD, i could instantly tell the difference. I spoke to a salesman at Best Buy about the benefit of Dolby Atmos and he was all too happy to demonstrate them to me in their speaker room. Based on what he told me, Dolby Atmos is supposed to put out 360 degree sound. When watching an action movie for example, when a helicopter flies overhead, you should actually hear the chopper overhead. I could actually feel and hear the difference with these speakers, just as the guy told me. Now keep in mind, these are only bookshelf speakers so they arent going to provide the sound that a floor standing speaker will but Im replacing a pair of JBL speakers that are half the size of these and they are incredible. Im debating on whether to add another pair of these or make these my rear speakers and get a set of floor standing speakers. If you can, i would go into Best Buy and have them explain the Dolby Atmos process. Im sure i oversimplified the benefits, but really, the sound is incredible from these little speakers.
I would recommend this to a friend They're okay....
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I dont get great performance out of these, however I think my space may be too large for the power. Looking forward to trying these out in a smaller space.
