Sure! Here’s a casual and engaging review:
Okay, so I gotta say, the Sonance MAGR 5.1 roof speakers with the subwoofer are seriously next-level. I wasn’t expecting this much from in-ceiling speakers, but wow. The sound is so crisp and clear—it’s like the dialogue in movies is happening right in front of me. And the surround? Insane. You hear things from all directions, like you’re in the middle of the action.
The subwoofer? Oh man, it hits. You feel the bass, like legit feel it. It doesn’t overpower but just balances everything out perfectly. Watching action movies or listening to music? Absolute chef’s kiss. And the setup? Super clean. No big, bulky speakers cluttering up the room—everything is hidden in the ceiling, so it’s sleek and modern.
Honestly, if you want killer sound and don’t want a bunch of speakers everywhere, this system is where it’s at. Highly recommend.

These speakers sound great! The subwoofer is very deep too. I have nothing but positive things to say. Installation was a breeze with the built in swing tabs. I use a Sony receiver in my living room and these speakers pair very well. My only personal gripe is how little the tweeters pivot within the enclosure for more precise aiming. Other than that, I would recommend this system to anyone looking for a great priced and great sounding surround sound system.

The sound quality is awesome.. Best Buy sales man suggested this for us.. No regrets choosing this one. But in the entire set i would say subwoofer is weak point its not enough to my taste so i purchased SVS subwoofer separately.. The rest five speakers are really good they also have the mechanism to tilt towards the direction you want with in the ceiling.. Hope it is durable as well.. Wait and see

East set up. It would be cool if they included a couple for the wall and a couple for the ceiling. These speakers are too thick to fit in a wall (thats why they are ceiling speaker.) GREAT SOUND. Great quality. Much better than any sound bar. I have sound bars ice spent over 1000 bucks on but I wish I wouls have just but these.

Couldn't be more pleased. Sound quality is outstanding and the sub woofer will shake the floor if turned to max. Ceiling installation requires a bit more effort, care and attention to detail. These speakers installed quite easily. The locking system designed to secure speakers in place is just great, practically automatic, just tighten 4 screws and your done, very secure. Very happy with the product from both performance and ease of installation. Speaker covers are magnetic and fit as flush to the ceiling as could be possible. Would buy again for sure.

Easy to install, great deal at best buy. A great thing they have is that you can move the inside of the speaker to point towards the location you will be seated while using. Clean sound, easy setup and amazing for the price. Fully recomend

They were a breeze to install and look phenomenal in our home theatre.
The directional tweeters accommodated positioning these speakers exactly where we wanted to provide exceptional sound -

I was hesitant about purchasing as I’m a huge Bose fan. All I’ve had for years are Bose systems and speakers.
These I have to admit, sound great!! The detail of pins dropping to rain, are clearly heard.
The Sub isn’t bad. Would I buy again? YES!

Bought these on sale and it couldn't of been at a better time. Speakers sound nice, crisp and clear. Only thing i just wished the sub would kick way better but i have a klipshe sub for that. You will need to purchase the back panel of the speaker to keep dirt and debris out when installed in the wall or ceiling. They are $60 bucks per pair on the covers. I dont see why they dont just have them in with each speaker to make it easier on people like me that are not aware you need expensive extra parts.

Huge upgrade for an Atmos system. Prior owner had some builder grade basic speakers. I added insulation batting into the ceiling and these speakers and it’s a noticeable improvement in sound. I used this kit and one extra pair to make a 7.1.6 Atmos system. I’m using the sub in a different room where I upgraded an old home theater in a box sub. Bass is cleaner and a noticeable improvement there too. It’s not a huge sub that will blow out a big home theater room but it adds some punch that would be needed if you used the Sonance speakers as your main channels.

Sonance - 6-1/2" In-Ceiling Speaker System was a great chose. I purchased total the speaker system and additional 2 more Sonance speakers. Sounds great and looks really nice once installed by the Geek Squad service. I am very happy with with this product.

The sound from these are phenomenal, even without a subwoofer. We use them daily throughout the house and for our 5.1 surround sound, it’s fantastic.I connected with a receiver with comparable power outputs to the Sonos Amp and we’re very very pleased with the theater like sound, even without a subwoofer. Phenomenal speaker for indoors and outdoors.

Very good speakers for the price, when on sale. At full/list price, these speaker aren't very competitive. Best Buy should just price the set at $700 all the time, instead of pretending there is a $1300 markdown on this set!!!
