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.

Excellent starter speakers for stereo system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really nice sound quality for the price. Speakers are perfect for first stereo system for my son.
I would recommend this to a friend Ok for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is nice at low to medium volume, but really distorted at loud volume. Certainly not that expensive but I expected better from Sony. If you don't need to rock the roof off the house, they're decent. They also need a sub to really hit the bottoms.
