Questions & Answers

Is there bluetooth on those devices?

This is for the speakers only, you need a stereo to use it

What if the speakers in my home theater act as surround speakers?

It was for that purpose that we used them. This was the best quality for the money I could find for my home theater guy.

Is it possible to set them up to work in different zones or rooms of my ?

Provided the receiver is set up for multiple zones.

The single pre-school classroom was small and there was just one teacher Do both channels need to go to a single speaker if I have a wired spot?

Theoretically, you could do it, but my suspicion is that it would adversely impact your sound quality.

Selected User Reviews For Amazon Basics 8" Round In-Ceiling In-Wall Mounted Speakers, Set of 2

For both of the six, review
4/5

The numbers 5 and 8 are the most important. In addition to my other jobs, I install Home Theater as a second one and normally install Polk MC80s at a lower price point. If they are on sale, I can find them for between $70 and $100 a piece. It was obvious I had to try them when I saw them pop up on the internet. Since I have always loved amazonbasics products, the only product I have disliked was their hdmi cable back in 2012, other than that I have always liked their products. As of now, I have both versions 6 installed. There is a 5 inch model and an 8 inch model, both of which I love. In terms of sound, the 8-inch has a little better sound, but overall there is not much of a difference. I wish these had a moveable tweeter as it would be an excellent feature. There is an option to angle the mc80 tweeter towards the listener and that improves those a little bit. On the outside and after installation, these both appear nearly identical, and the sounds are very similar. You should definitely check these out for most movie Please do not be fooled by the price, as the quality is very good.

Polk is the way to go
4/5

Even if you have not yet reached the 1% (where the $400 8" Episodes are the budget option), I imagine that, like me, you wonder whether the Basics are more or less comparable to Polk's RC80i. My wife and I bought them As you can see, I am here In comparison to the Basics, "I Ran" by Flock of Seagulls sounds significantly better on the Polk. Compared to the previous track, the vocals are much tinnier and thinner. classic intro to Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is just as impactful on both formats. They both have a little tinny sound, but neither has a lot of bass. This is a more tinny version of the Basics. For those who have the means, 14-inch TVs are available If you want to add gauge wires for future upgrades, you're going to have Polk RC80i will be able to fit it with no problems. It's surprising that 16-year-olds are at the top of the list There is no wobble in the gauge. The two front Klipsch surround satellites I have for my five are poorer than the two in the back. The theater has one screen. It's being tested in four squares of a cubic shelf unit, with the back sealed to approximate, not very well, Due to the way I use the basic speakers, I don't need to aim the tweeters, so the lack of aimable tweeters is not an issue Basics will go in the room where I am not planning to spend much time, Polks for the other zones, and I'll continue to save up for a floor sub or a higher level- At the end of the eighth paragraph. I took some photos because there aren't more in the listing, and I am sorry to disappoint you.

A big improvement over a 6 in terms of sound
5/5

Speakers with a 5 inch diameter and for an affordable price. My company installs home theater systems and I bought these speakers only for my two daughters' bedsides. I installed one in each room to feed them soft music as they go to sleep. I was using two Bluetooth speakers before and the sound often got choppy and almost skippy. Finally fixed it by hardwiring some speakers to a small class D amplifier and now have a 3. 1 system. Play YouTube music with the amp using the 3. 5 mm jack to standard RCA input from a spare phone. As far as sound quality goes, these speakers sound really good at the price and the size, and I like the fact that they have an active crossover attached to them, which I believe increases In order to improve the sound and midbass, I plan on making small enclosures to place over them in the attic. Despite that, they sound great, and I strongly recommend them. As a follow-up to my last review, I have since added some small enclosures to set over the speakers in the attic, and boy do they sound great! Crisp and clear, and I really appreciate the enclosure's effect on the bass response! Anyone who does as I did would be well advised to do so.

This is amazing! For the money, I was impressed with the bass and highs! Since I have heard such great things about these, I thought I might give them a try after reading the other favorable reviews
5/5

That was a great decision! These 8" speakers are very good. I bought two of them. Having installed a pair in my kitchen, I intend to install the other pair in my patio tomorrow. I really enjoy listening to them, a lot of good bass and They would have been better with movable tweeters, but still sound good with the highs As a result, I have a set of Bowers & Wilkins speakers that are very high quality Compared to Wilkins towers, they are not even close to that level, but I definitely will use them again for overhead speakers.

These speakers are great for outdoor use and have great sound quality for the price
5/5

They were used on a covered deck and I love how clean and clear it is and how easy it is to install. I have connected this to my Sonos Amp and now I have the capability to listen to great wireless sound. This book is highly I'll be able to listen to music while I work out in my garage once I add more to it.

Speakers who deliver great content
5/5

This is a real review. The cables are up and running. In order to surround the rear of my 7-inch screen, I purchased these. I hooked them up for straight stereo just to test them as I didn't have my basement finished yet. It's hard to believe that these speakers cost only 89 dollars. A surprising amount of bass is present in this track. I would like to get more stereo equipment for another room of our house just so I can have more stereo equipment. Simply follow the template installation instructions and everything will work flawlessly.

Choosing the right course of action was the right decision
5/5

It was the right choice I made to pick Having gone through so many options, I decided to go with these since I have never had a bad Amazon product. It was easy to install, and the sound and look are I am delighted to have made this choice.
