Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great sound for the size of the speakers along with an affordable price so I have two pairs.

Purchased these bookshelf speakers for the front speakers of my 5.1 system. Great sound out of a small footprint. I added the Sony sub as well and it really makes movie watching enjoyable. The speakers were on sale at BB at a great price and well worth the cost.

These Sony bookshelf are incredible. Team it with the Towers,sub and center and put a really good receiver,I’m using Denon 485 and what sound comes out. I switched the wire,had some Morrow so I put em on…the difference is unbelievable, This is by far a steal for its cost.

I needed some bookshelf speakers for a vintage turntable and receiver I had restored. These work perfectly, very good sound, good value for the price.

Great price, fill up a room with sound, particularly good for electronic music and vinyl.

These are really nice - for the price. I use these as computer speakers (connected to a receiver) and they work really well. They get fairly loud, and are nice and clear. Are there better speakers out there? YES - but you will be paying for that. These are perfect for what I need.

Sounds great for a good price! and arrived quickly

These speakers will surprise, even shock you. I heard them at a friend's place, and bought them on sale the next day, almost as a lark. A tremendous value. The strong point is the sweet and clear tweeter, but it is all good. And they weigh only 10 pounds each. How did they do this? Fyi, I do use a sub. I have owned the Klipsch rp-600m and the Elac uni-b52. Both very good speakers that will make many people happy. For me, the rp-600m was bright and verging on harshness at high volume in the very high registers. The uni-b52 tweeter sounded somewhat veiled and heavy at times, little 'air', though its mid-range is first rate. Both of these speakers cost 5-6 times more than the sonys. Of course all audio judgements are predicated on your hearing. and your audio room. It is largely subjective. I am retired, and listen to hi-res classical and jazz, for the most part, in an acoustically friendly space.

I went to my local BB to get replacement speakers for our main entertainment system as the old ones finally were done with. I didn't know what I was going to get, but I knew how much I wanted to spend, at least ballpark-wise. After looking at a few options, a BB Representative came to assist me and pointed out these speakers and their great sound. I then compared them to models that cost about $100 more for a set and these blew them away. The real test is getting them home and hearing them in my space. Even better. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I know when something sounds good. These are awesome. I would buy them again.

I bought these to use with the receiver from my HTIAB. They were a lot bigger than i expected but are working really well. Clarity is so much better than my old speakers. Hooking them up is easy but make sure you have the space as they do require some real estate. Bought them on sale for $74.99 and they were a steal, using 2 as surround sound as well.

I bought these for a music setup with a receiver and these two speakers. The stereo sound through my Sony receiver is extremely clear with solid lows for a bookshelf speaker. For the price, I couldn't beat the sound quality. They don't distort at high volume either. Great buy.

Cute little speakers, great sound and you don't need a lot of space to store them. Great price for the speakers.

All I can say is wow. I have these as rear channels in a 5.1.2 setup all Sony cores and it is great for my use. I am almost all movies and TV and I can't say enough good things about these speakers. The value to quality is ridiculous. If you catch a sale on these speakers grab them you won't be disappointed.

I'll start this review by saying I do own several Sony products, and I love them, but I went into speaker shopping with an open mind. I initially wanted to purchase the more expensive Klipsch speakers, but after hearing them in store, the Sony core series stuck out. They are a mid price point, but punch at a higher level. The sound is warm, even from my nearly ten year old Insignia receiver. I wasn't expecting much being bookshelf speakers, but I put them through their paces and they performed very well. Even at high volume, the tone stayed true, lows didn't distort, highs didn't peak. I can't wait to get some floors, maybe a center, and a subwoofer from this series. The removable grills make sure our cats can't "redesign" the mesh.

Decent sound quality and size of speakers was perfect for the setting I am watching TV.

Sony comes through again. Small yet great sounding speakers. I have a small space so need speakers that won't overwhelm the space. Both visually and sonically. These fit the bill. The ported bass really delivers. Oh it's not thumping but it definitely comes through.

I bought these speakers to replace some that I got rid of. I hooked them up to my receiver and the sound was as good as my old Pioneer 3-way floor speakers that were 4 times the size. I would definitely butbruem again! They would definitely work as part of a surround sound system.

These speakers are really great. Crisp and clear and also fairly affordable. I used them for surround sound in my large living room with 20ft ceilings.

I bought these after Christmas and still on sale for $75 for a beginner's audio system for listening to my vinyl. They sound great and are worth the $75, but I would not have paid full price even though I'm a die hard Sony fan. Actually, I won't pay full price for anything unless I absolutely have to. I am not an audiophile, but my son is and he thinks they are great for a starter system. They do not fill up a huge room, though. I have a big area and high ceilings and they didn't blow the walls apart. I didn't want them to do that, anyway. Ultimately, I bought a pair of Wharfedale's that I got a great price on and moved these to my surround sound. Holy moly, what a difference in my TV experience with these. I am waiting for them to go on sale again to get 2 more for rear speakers. I replaced my almost 8 year old speakers from a Sony 3D surround sound system.

These speakers sound great to me!! I bought two pairs of them and are using them with my vintage Realistic STA-42 receiver. There's enough bass/ mid/ highs. These are crisp enough and NOT TOO crisp to become annoying.
