Great sound and price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound for the price. I got them on sale last month and they sound fantastic with my subwoofer and Sony receiver. The two speakers were both on sale and I would definitely recommend all three items. I set them up with a little help from the Sony Tech support and have been enjoying the system since. The patio is my favorite spot to enjoy music now.

Best bargain speaker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you can pick these up when they go on sale for $90 DO IT. They sound excellent for that price range. Even at retail price they sound great. I haven't broken them in yet but the detail is there. Hoping they get a little fuller with time. Tested them with and without a subwoofer. They don't NEED the sub but it's a nice addition.

Great speakers for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony core audio system, R/L floor speakers, center speaker, sub, and theses rear bookshelf speakers. These chunk speakers are the best part of the entire setup, I wouldn’t mind just buying another set and using them as the front speakers, because they are that good. Would recommend these.

They're good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They do the job well! I don't need much sound for y space but there is a visible difference between my old sound bar and these. The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that wires are not included. It's strange...if I'm spending money, the least Sony could do was add the cables, like why nickel and dime people for no reason? I wouldn't purchase again for that reason but they're fine for now.

I would recommend this to a friendTruely unbelievable . . . a musical dessert . . .
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cannot verbalize the impression that these speakers made on me. I saw all the YouTube videos singing their praises, but until you get them home and try them, you are not able to truly appreciate the sonic dessert to your ears. I am truly grateful to Sony for making these speakers and to BestBuy for making them available and at a great price . . . .

great pair of basic speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.bought these to go with new receiver I bought.sound great and plenty loud enough for my living room
I would recommend this to a friendSound great but needs a mounting bracket.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love having speakers behind the couch. No sound bar can deliver this quality. Only drawback is hiding wires and a place to set them. They don't come with any mount or hardware to use. Luckily I have two small bookshelfs there already.
I would recommend this to a friendWOW! Great Sound!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After listening to and reading many reviews on these I had to get a pair and see what all the hype was about. I was blown away by the sound. I can't believe I was so happy with a pair of speakers I paid $123.00 for. Great value here Sony, you nailed it with these. Great job!

Sound quality is amazing.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We put these speakers in an old console stereo that we redid. They sound amazing. We paired it with the Sony turntable and it is so clear. We did not need to add anything to these speakers. They sound amazing.
