Reviews around set (4.49 of 5)

  • It would be nice if they were available as a set in 6.1 that would include this extra speaker.
  • If you are looking for loud blasting, window shaking, earth moving speakers, this set isn't for you.

Reviews around quality (4.30 of 5)

  • Excellent sound quality (much better than the Onkyo stock speakers)
  • not going to blow away top quality expensive speakers, but these are great for making home movies much more fun to watch with my projector.
  • First, their quality of construction, for the price, is almost unbelievable
  • Not because they are poor quality, but for the simple fact that they are small, and unable to produce the lower frequencies (50-150hz) that larger speakers can
  • If you want great quality sound coming from compact speakers, then look at these.

Reviews around doe (1.00 of 5)

  • The sub works fine though does have a slight hum when on but not being used
  • It does not have the punch of bigger or higher-end systems, but it definitely delivers better-than-expected sound given the size and price
  • Its far less expensive, does not slip out and wont affect the signal
