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.

Great Speakers from Sony
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.High quality speakers that you would expect from Sony. These replaced the smaller Polk Audio speakers that BB sells. Can certainly notice the difference in sound quality. Highly recommended if looking for small speakers with big output.

Posted .Hi ArniefromIndiana, Glad to hear that you are happy with the sound quality of your new SSCS5! Take your digital music collection to another level with High-Resolution Audio. By capturing music at a higher rate than CD, increasing both audio samples per second and the bitrate accuracy of each sample, High-Resolution Audio offers a near-perfect capture of an artist’s music. Savour every breath and subtle movement for a truly emotional experience. -Carl

Sony sounds again!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So glad I checked Best Buy for speakers. The ones at the pawn shop was about the same price, but didn't have any wiring and were well used. These were easy to set up and have great sound. So glad to be back with an old friend from my teens!

Great buy
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own several pairs of speakers and wanted to complement my floor standing speakers. Best Buy had a sale and decided to buy these speakers. The sound is identifiable and does add some more depth to the music.

Nice side speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used these on both walls and the sound is incredible. They are heavy and I had to get sturdy mounts to hang them. Word of advice is if you are going to screw them in the back to use wall hanging mounts be careful on the length of the screw I drilled into the mother board and killed the speaker.

Great front theater speakers.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony bookshelf speakers are fantastic for the price especially if you can grab them during one of their 50% sales twice a year. I matched these with the Sony SSCS8 center channel and now I have a wide, full featured soundstage for my home theater setup.

Sony speakers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This (with the center speaker) completed my full surround sound instead of investing in a new wireless sound bar. Easy old-school wired connections. As Expected quality from Sony.

Sony core series 5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think these best value for the money speakers I have heard in a long while. Use them with a subwoofer for home theater, but if your l just listening to music you so not need on. The image very well front to back and side to side highly recommended.
