Customer Ratings & Reviews

Comparable to the Boston Acoustics I already had. For the price (Black Friday deal) they are outstanding. Does a decent job of filling a large room with sound, and the highs are pretty clear.

Love these speakers! The sound is great. The only drawback is that since the speakers are so narrow, they are unstable on our medium pile carpet. Having cats, we were worried about them getting knocked over. We used wood, painted it black, & created a base for each of the speakers. They are much more stable now.

I have mostly all Sony Products and these speaker were a great buy. The sound treble and bass are superb blasting from the tweeters and box. excellent product for my new vinyl record collection

My pair of these deliver a perfect sound. I do have a sub for lows, typical setup for any system that employs floor standing speakers. I wouldn't even say "for the money", these sound perfect, period. I have these to play LPs. I am not sure if people who prefer to spend a lot more $$ will hear any difference.

I purchased these hoping to give some new life to an underpowered home theater area that is now less used. Had original Bose Acoustimass 10 speaker set purchased yrs ago and have been underwhelmed by those since then - was hoping to replace front left/right speakers with these. Sound quality was better, but thinking that to really get a boost would have had to replace my older Onkyo 85W/chnl receiver with something better, and really wasn't wanting to replace that much at the moment, so with some reluctance I returned these. BB made the purchase and the return super easy.

I had a 5.1 setup with 2 Polk front L&R speakers, a 10” Polk subwoofer and 2 Bose rear L&R speakers. One of the Bose speakers blew, so I decided I would just buy 4 new matching speakers to replace the front and rear. I bought these Sony floor speakers on sale for $99/pair. Just having these two speakers and my existing Polk subwoofer completely surprised me- the sound was incredible. There were sounds all around the room that I never heard with both front and rear speakers. I don’t even see the need at this point to buy rear speakers because the sound coming from the Sony floor speakers is THAT GOOD!

For the Black Friday price I paid for these, there is no possible way of having gone wrong with them. These speakers sound great and look great!

Yes I like these Sony Speakers, They have a full sound on my Yamaha Receiver. I have owned them for a month now and still enjoy music, movies and streaming many shows in the past month. Even my wife’s YouTube yoga class has a much fuller sound now. Thank you for making a great sound for half the price of the competition. Sure they are made of 1/2 inch MDF Board and a black pvc covering, but 90% of all speakers are made from these materials. Good Job Sony!

I use these with a 2.0 amp and turntable for my vinyls and they sound amazing! Really well balanced especially with the level of bass they produce I was impressed!

Not an audiophile, just wanted “good, solid speakers” for the family living room. Auditioned some of the better rated speakers in the price range (Polk T-50, Pioneer Andrew Jones, Onkyo 4800) and they didn’t sound any better than these. Best Buy had these Sony SSCCS3 Core Series on sale for 50% off, so it was a no brainer....$100 ea, Hooked them up, very happy with them.....clear, spatial, room filling sound, with a nice presence. They are in the family room of an open, two-story house and clear sound can fill the whole house. Did not need to spend $500+ for very good sound. Amazon reviewers are at 92% for combined 4*/5* reviews.

Speakers work amazing, great addition to our living room

Works good. Easy to hook up to amp. Great sound and price. Worth the money. I couldn’t ask for better for the price range I wanted. They look nice also.

I bought both the Polk T50 and Sony SSCS3 speakers. Hooked both up to my stereo and compared their sound. The Sony speakers sounded much clearer, especially with acoustic vocal music. The Polks sounded hollow, probably due to cabinet resonance. The easiest way to explain it is that the Sony speakers sounded real, the Polks sounded like speakers. I returned the Polks and kept the Sony SSCS3 speakers.

This speaker is great quality and very easy to setup. It has great immersion and adds much volume to my Sony home theater. Great value when it’s on sale.

Based on the comparable Sony bookshelf version of these speakers, I was not prepared for the acoustic delight these larger Sony's offer. They are very even across the spectrum and don't color the music as much as my previous Klipsch floor standing speakers do. They also have a forward firing port which makes room placement easier. Finally, the bass is strong for speakers of this size although I still like adding a subwoofer. While I am driving them with a McIntosh amp, I have tried them with other amps and they seem easy to drive regardless of the amp choice and they are efficient enough that power is not a major concern. In summary, they are rapidly becoming one of my favorite speaker choices where my space is somewhat limited and yet I still want great sound. And at the sale price this Holiday Season, you just can't beat them. Period.

I bought this speaker for my son I can tell you it works very well. Sound quality is awesome, they are slim and don’t take up much room great looking tower speaker.

I *love* these speakers. I got them looking to start my first foray into home theater. I went online and looked at all the reviews and - beside Panasonic's, which sounded very flat and rather dull - these speakers stood out for price/performance. I've since got 2 Core Series floorstanding speakers along with the sub. I initially thought I'd need 2 bookshelf's to complete the setup, but honestly (and I'm not an audiophile), just these speakers - along with the sub and center - are more than capable of the job. Very happy with the purchase and I would highly recommend them.

They are great. For the price I really enjoy them. There are bigger and better ones but they also cost a lot more so I feel like these are fine for the space that I put them in. There is no distortion even at high volume

i got these speakers for 200 dollars apair and i paired them with the sony bookshelf speakers and the 10 inch powered subwoofer. imust say the sound iam getting is of a very good quality. very pleased with the sound at such an affordable price. thank you

It was really easy to setup. & it has great sound.
