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.

So far so good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound for the size. I moved, and my Klipsch floor speakers would not work well (no good place to put them) with the new space. I replaced with these, and have been pleased with the performance..

Worth the Small Investment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice even bass that is not forthcoming to the point that it overtakes the music. Treble is nice. They are great for a small apartment and can easily transition to a bigger space.

Excellent little speakers when paired to equalizer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good budget speakers that could sound really well or really bad depending on what you pair them with. I have them hooked to an old Onkio receiver, when I play from music straight from my phone Spotify, they don't sound that great. But when I add a portable DAC that includes an excellent equalizer the sound goes from bad to amazing. The DAC I use is EarStudio ES100 MK2. So yes I would recommend these speakers when used with an equalizer and a subwoofer.

Great Sound in a Compact Package
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony speakers on sale and thought I'd give them a try. Wow these are just what I was looking for - sound is really clear and balanced, with really nice full bodied tone. I use them with a Sony receiver and I really couldn't be more pleased with them both.

Budget entry option for home audio
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quantity for quality. If you are looking for an entry system this will suit the needs, but if you are someone who gets a taste of something and desires more you will try to expand on your audio entertain. Great entry level to eventually expand on to surround sound.

Incredible sound for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Obviously we're not talking about top-of-the-line, bank-breaking, audiophile-nerd-dream stuff here...But these sound GREAT when paired with a subwoofer. Smooth and rich with a nice, wide soundstage. Blown away by the sound coming from speakers at this price point.

A great part of my surround sound system
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great part of my surround sound setup! These speakers are pretty small but sound great as part of my 5.1 sound system. I bought these and the Sony SUB and center speaker as part of the Black Friday deal for me and they sound great and at a super price!

Astonishing speaker and value.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Astonishing, simply mind blowing. I have purchased 20 some odd speakers in the last 3 years including 8k Cornwall's and dozens in between and this speaker has made me rethink what I'm doing. The value is unprecedented. Beats speakers 15x the cost..
