  1. L8nyghter

    Very knowledgable sales person. I met with someone who immediately diagnosed my needs for my home theater. Recommended the right product and gave me specific instructions on how to implement.

  2. Rock431

    Great sound setup as 7.1 Bowers and wilkins system.
    It rocks my basement like a Theatre.

  3. Brian

    I have these speakers installed about 12 ft high in my 2 storied high ceiling family room and they look and sound great. I watch tv and listen to music.

  4. Ilian

    Great in wall speakers. Perhaps one of the best I’ve heard. The quality behind B&W never disappoints.

  5. FaboG

    Beautiful, crisp, and clear sound coupled together with the ceiling speakers. Flawless

  6. 6771

    These speakers are clear through the whole music range and the full variety of instrumentation. Vocals are pure and clean.

  7. Best

    This is an amazing in-wall speakers. The quality of the sound for this price is awesome..it’s a great speaker for media room.

  8. Mlaa

    Don’t compromise. These B & W speakers deliver consistently. The best in the business.

  9. Randy

    This was an excellent pair of speakers. Didn’t pay top price but got top quality for the speakers. I did a little research and found Bowers & Wilkins are rated extremely well in the industry.

  10. Molsen

    We shopped numerous brands including Bose and preferred this brand, Bowers and WIlkins While it is always a good rule of thumb to use one brand of speakers we were selecting various speaker size and application. Bowers presented us with excellent sound reproduction as well as variety of sizes and applications. These speakers are used exclusively for musuc

  11. LoveViera

    I replaced Boston bookshelf speakers as the surrounds in my 5.1 set up. What an amazing upgrade. Installation was simple. paintable grills allow them to virtually disappear in the wall.

  12. k12rsoul

    Installed as rear surround speakers. Tested as main speakers (new in wall installation) before wiring wall for the surround speakers. These speakers sound great even for their small size!

  13. Griff

    These sound really for the size of them, only concern is painting the covers, there white and don’t match the paint

  14. Dante

    Just had them installed. The sound is crisp and clean. Great for the price.

  15. shaolin108

    The speaker was recommended by our Magnolia consultant and I know why. The sound quality is amazing!

  16. Dkbao

    We replaced our old wall speakers with this one, the sound quality is much better.

  17. Circuitboard1

    Excellent sound sharp crisp sound. Easy install brackets make life easy. Supposed to be in wall speakers but i used them in ceiling. Not recommended will work

  18. Circuitboard1

    Used in ceiling meant for in wall. Super easy install in brackets. Sound is super crisp. Clean.. loud

  19. WadeH

    I bought these for my new surround sound, I have two in the front and two in the back of the room, they sound great and would highly recommend then to anyone putting is a surround sound system.

  20. Jake

    B&W speakers are the best at Best Buy. Installation was super easy!

  21. EdwinAFF

    About month ago I upgraded my sound system and had initially purchased Martin Logan Motion 2i speakers as my surround left/right and absolutely loved them. However, my wife did not like how bulky they look on the wall (although they are actually very small). So I exchanged them for these B&W in-wall speakers. I was worried that I wasn’t going to get the same sound quality of the ML Motion 2i, but I was pleasantly surprised. These in-wall speakers sound amazing. And you can barely notice them on the wall, which is a big plus since I got my wife’s approval.

    Pros: great highs and mids for both music and movies; they almost disappear on the wall; easy to install; very well made/good quality; comparable (if not better) to most bookshelf speakers of the same size/price.
    Cons: I can’t think of any really. The only thing that comes to mind is that the lows may not be as good as some bookshelf speakers. But with the proper EQ adjustment, they sound amazing and have had absolutely no problem playing great sound with anything i have thrown at it so far.
    Overall, I couldn’t be happier and would totally buy these again. Another thing I can mentioned is that the sound coming out of the speakers fills the room pretty well, making it hard for the listener to pin point the exact location of the speaker from the listener positions in my room, which is a big plus for surround sound.

  22. dentistwp

    Excellent Speaker, works great! Easy to install and have had no issues with them since they were installed.

  23. Mtallis

    These rear speakers were the perfect addition to the Dolby Atmos set up we have. Great quality.

  24. Bp6991

    These speakers sound fantastic and are pretty reasonably priced. Excellent quality.

  25. Chuck

    Love these rear speakers in our theater set up. Clear sound and they look nice on the wall.

  26. Barry

    Sound is great. Installation a breeze. Only reason for four stars is Best Buy messed up by only sending one speaker in the box, when it clearly states its sold in pairs. Had to return the one, then reorder and hope I get 2 (which I did).

  27. TheDA

    I was limited in width due to a water pipe so this was one of the few “in wall” speakers that would fit in my space. Installation was easy and build quality of the speakers is typical B&W so they’re pretty rock solid.

    How do they sound? In my room they’re pretty flat across the frequency spectrum down to around 80hz where they fall off pretty quickly. Highs and mids aren’t hyped but are accurate and detailed. There’s a switch to increase or decrease tweeter output but I found them best set flat in my room which is around 18×30 with 10 foot ceilings.

    Having owned previous B&W’s I was prepared for a long break in period but these sounded good out of the box and there was no glare in the high end. These need to be paired with a subwoofer as there’s no deep bass and mine cross over at 80hz which sounds about right.

    We’re running vinyl, Hi Rez digital, and streaming through these and they’re fun to listen to with no fatigue. Really not bad considering the price.

  28. soundbot

    You can always count on Bowers &Wilkins Products. These 2 speakers were added to bring my system up to 7.1. Nice crisp clear sound.

  29. Gskr

    They are tiny, but works great.. gives theater experience.

  30. Andrea

    Very good speakers, powerful and clear sound. The white cover
    hides the speaker very well on the wall.

  31. Music

    This item is very crisp and tight with sound. I use the item for movies and music. Buy and enjoy.

  32. elc7b6

    Great durable construction. The Grill covering the speakers is a little hard to remove. Sound is great I can’t wait to hook my my projector To hear the sound in movie form

  33. Roshni

    Excellent Speaker, works great. Also purchase Bowers & Wilkins front tower, center, subwoofer and 4 bookshelf anniversary speaker with Pioneer elite VSX-LX504 receiver. amazing B&W home theater is best.

  34. Sarkis

    Excellent speakers! Catches every detail! Very happy with the speakers.

  35. BestBuyCust

    Using them as back rear speakers in a 7.2 setup. Price was high.

  36. Kebn

    I have several pair of B & W speakers, I needed something for surround sound speakers that didn’t stand out. These are substantial speakers probably better than what is needed for surround sound but what the heck.

  37. David

    Extremely well built, excellent attention to detail, easy to install, accurate sound reproduction, high quality speakers

  38. PoppaGator

    Flexible clean mounting vertical or horizontal. Great for surrounds and Nautilus tweeters timbre matched to my other B&W speakers in an 11-1 system.

  39. Washer

    Very happy for my surround sounds and unfortunately had to sell the home .

    I know the future owners will enjoy this

  40. CraigK

    Excellent speakers to connect to your surround system.
