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.

Serious upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had an LG system before, and the head unit died so I had to get a new one. I found the Sony unit on sale at best buy for a price too good to ignore. I always do my research and read reviews. After I fell in love with the head unit I wanted to update my speakers as well. So I read more reviews and did more research. And found that the Sony core series 5" bookshelf speakers were the right fit for what was looking for. I haven't been let down so far.
I would recommend this to a friend Necessary for use with my A/V unit.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My A/V unit did not come with speakers and I made the mistake of connecting only a Bose sound bar using the optical cable. The result was a blown internal fuse in the A/V unit that was repaired under warranty for free.

Decent speakers great price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sometimes you need to skip the big names like Sony and go for exceptional quality. This isn't one of those times. These speakers are great for a beginner setup, especially if don't want to spend the money on a klipsch system. Sony is right under the big speaker names, and these speakers are great. Listen to them right next to each other in the store, the quality is amazing.
I would recommend this to a friend Great speakers for the price
