Absolutely love these super loud and clear great product for the price

I have not installed these in the walls yet mainly since I am still building them. After reading some of the other reviews about a few modifications I can see how it would be valuable to both take your time and reinforce the screws a little bit. It does indeed look like recycled plastics in the construction, probably good from a re-use stand point and cheaper, these were inexpensive, and extra care when installing them is great forewarning. When I put them in I am going to leave extra time to go slow and remember that firm is likely tight enough with the simple and thin tabs they have for attaching to the drywall. As for sound I have been using them, set up for music as I am finishing the basement and they have been working really well so far. Good sound, can turn them up enough to hear even with ear protection on. They seem to sound like I'd expect for speakers that cost more. Update: I have installed these in the wall and the ceiling and had success with both. The biggest thing I would suggest is that you take a little bit of time to set each of the 6 grippers, by that I mean run the screws through each one about 3/4 of an inch. They are newly molded plastic and though there is a hole in them, you will want to get the threads run through them once. When you are backing them up they will slip over the top allowing them to be turned out of the way. Make sure that they are still a bit tight and don't let them slide all the way back out as they won't re-seat every time, especially when you don't see them in the drywall hole. Even tight they will turn easily out of the way when you go to set them in the wall but won't be likely to break on their way down, though make sure to use a hand screwdriver as you don't want to over tighten any of them. They still sound really good and for the price even with a little bit of pre-work on them I'd buy another set when or if I need something like this in the future.

We installed 6 of these speakers in the ceiling a couple of weeks ago: two in each of three rooms that are approximately 15'x15' to 15'x20'. We have them hooked up to a multi-room receiver for playing music. They sound great, especially the set in the kitchen. Part of the reason may be all the hard surfaces in that room, but part is probably because the cabinets narrow the room. The dining room also has a hard floor & surfaces, but has less furniture. Anyway, the point is that obviously every room is going to have its own acoustic quirks, so consider the size, contents, and materials in the room. These sound great even in our living room, which is the larger room with carpet, not a lot of large furniture filling space, and has softer materials like curtains & sofas. A few years ago, we bought Micca ceiling speakers for our family room, which is very large and required 8 of them. They're good, but I like these Pyle speakers better. And again, maybe it's got more to do with the particulars of the rooms, but these sound better to me. So, I'm glad that when we went to make our purchase for this project, there was a quantity limit on the Micca speakers that prevented us from getting them. At the time I was p*ssed - why limit people to 4 speakers?? - but that led us to find these, which were cheaper and turned out to sound better. I'd love to have really high end speakers and system, but I've got a budget. Context: I'm no audiophile, but I love my music. I'm used to the Bose in my car and high quality Bose & Sony headphones. These Pyle in-ceiling speakers are quite nice - no disappointment - in 2 of the rooms and compare favorably in the kitchen. I hope that helps. If we ever need more, I'll definitely look for these again. Install: these were pretty straightforward. We took the advice of another reviewer to pre-drill the plastic clamps before mounting (carefully screw them in to get it properly threaded, then remove for install) and not to over-tighten. We had no problems and it went pretty quickly. Durability: it's only been a few weeks, though we use them pretty much every day. I don't generally crank it up high, but the day we were setting up the system, we accidentally sent some very loud feedback through. We were concerned that we might have blown the speakers, but they were just fine.

Really like their looks, ease of install, and basic sound quality. Not enough low end on them (I purchased the 8" thinking they might be able to reach a little lower, guess I'll start looking for a in ceiling sub 😉). (edit 1/1/2021) left one has blown all but the tweeter (after about a year of use - power comes from a Kenwood KRF-X9090D), and the right one is not sounding good. 400W peak is a stretch. Would NOT recommend.

Sumamente sorprendido de la calidad, tanto de los materiales como de la calidad de sonido, me impacto, voy por mi segundo par!!

These speakers are fantastic. Great frequency response . With the size of these speakers they are very discreet on the wall at head height. They blend in with the White wall covering and the metal front mesh is discreet as well. A must for a home cinema . No more unsightly tall floor standing speakers around the room now. These are the front pr of speakers. My other order is for 2 pr of pdic80 round ceiling speakers for the surround and rear surround. For the low price and high quality you have everything to meet your needs in this set up. I use a Yamaha surround sound amplifier with these.

I bought 3 pairs for a new build. The first lug broke when installing, because the plastic is brittle and the unit is built on a budget. I hot-melted it back together and started all screws off to centre the clamp in it's socket (but still just loose enough to swing behind the cut-out) before re-fitting (easier to understand if you see it). Don't over-tighten the screws and make sure the clamps don't jam at the start of their socket or the casing will break. No problems with the second one, only after breaking the first one. Anyway, the 1st pair is now fitted and they sound a bit better than I was expecting for the price (and in the ceiling). The sticky stuff for the grilles is a bit awkward to know where exactly to position (mine fell off a couple of times), but I squished it into the groove and it's holding on OK now. I'd buy them again, but just be careful when fitting them.

For the application that i am using these speakers for they are great and a great price. I would suggest that the clipping hardware is not great quality and most of the mounting system failed me on installation. I would suggest adding small washers on the mounting screws prior to installing in the ceiling. All in all good

Not sound like professional speakers. I installed yamaha and pyle, but yamaha sounds better output. Pyle is good for the price.
