Customers are saying
Customers highly value the Core Series 5" 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers, particularly praising the amazing sound quality, notable bass, and clear highs. The speakers are also appreciated for their compact size, ease of use, and reasonable price. While the design is considered simple and nice, a minor drawback is their relatively heavy weight.

Really nice speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have bought Polk, energy, and Klipsch speakers within the last year and have returned them all as I did not like the way they sounded, but not these Sonys. I hooked them up and played some music off my phone and was really surprised by how smooth these sounded to me. These Sony bookshelfs are keepers and really a great bang for the buck.

sony bookshelf speaker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first I thought I didn't need the center speaker because I already have the Dolby Atmos speakers. So I went out and bought one just to prove myself right and that I didn't need one. Well I was wrong this speaker is loud and clear. If you don't have one I suggest you get it. you will be missing out.

Perfect little bookshelf speaker that delivers!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very impressed with the sound quality of these bookshelf speakers. Great price for a clean and crisp sounding bookshelf. I use these with a receiver with the optical cable plugged into my audio card on my pc. So these are used for gaming on the pc. Also while working on the computer I'll have spotify going listening to music. These sound great and for the price of them they are even better.

Great deal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you can find these on sale you really can't beat the price/performance ratio.

Small Speakers, Big Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking to replace a pair of 20 year old shelf speakers w new wired ones so, after looking on amazon.com I went to my local BB. I happened to be there the day a Sony rep was in store so he took the time to explain the benefits of these speakers. BB had a pair hooked up so I could hear how they sounded before I bought them...and they sounded great. They were a little larger than I had in mind, but still fit nicely in my entertainment wall...and sound fantastic!

Works very well
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speakers work very well. The only issue i would say i had was setting them up. I had a small issue with the wiring, but that was more of a me problem then the speakers not working. Overall would recommend. They are worth every penny.
