  1. NaSainz

    This Center Channel perfectly matches my Sony stereo speakers and Surround Sound Amplifier. Life like sound during movies excellent rendition of music highly recommend it

  2. Shelbysalpha

    The ratings on YouTube were excellent and they were not wrong! Matched with the Sony – STRDH790- 7.2-Ch. with Dolby Atmos & Dolby Vision 4K Ultra HD HDR A/V Home Theater Receiver – Black – they are fabulous.

  3. OmarFigueroa

    The sound of this central speaker is powerful and clear without distorting, I LOVE IT!!.

  4. Larisam14

    This has been a great addition to my surround sound. Great for the value.

  5. TheresaS

    Works great in our room!! Love to watch movies now!!

  6. ChrisF

    This is my first experience with center channel and 5.1 surround sound. Yeah, I know, welcome to the 21st century. The SSCS8 is paired with 4 Sony SSCS5 boookshelf for the front and surrounds, 2 Sony SACS9 subswoofers, and driven by a Sony STR-DA5400ES receiver fed with the 5.1 signal via optical from a Sony smart TV. I don’t know how much more “matched” this setup could be.

    The SSCS8 does what is asked of it as a center channel. The dialog is clear and accurate from the two center seating positions. It does not reproduce bass well but it is not asked to do that.

    If you are pairing it with the SSCS5s and a sub and have reasonable expectations for a $100 speaker, then you won’t be disappointed.

  7. Unknown

    this product has been great and would highly recommend

  8. AnthonyF

    Good quality for the price. I am enjoying it so far!

  9. HarveyP

    replaced an old smaller center channel speaker. sounds great!

  10. ElizabethB

    Submersive sound quality. Clear, easy set up, and worth while addition to a sound system.

  11. Dickencider

    I bought this to upgrade my center channel speaker and currently utilize it with a Pioneer VSX-LX301, and 4 other Yamaha satellite/smaller book shelf style speakers. This Sony speaker is boss. Its so loud, it completely drowns out the other speakers in a smaller living room. I used to turn my phones volume all the way while listening to music via bluetooth through the receiver. This thing kicks. I am even considering just removing the other speakers from my setup and just use this thing. Its big and loud, and in sale, so go get one. Got 4 stars because the speaker doesnt have inputs or any features other than just being a speaker.

  12. Jon55

    Great having a REAL stereo again, with the various components and this enhancement to sound. Thanks to Best Buy for introducing me to this brand. Also appreciate the purchase option of Excellent Open Box to save a little cash when rebuilding a system.

  13. Austin

    This center has a surprising amount of power and clarity. I picked mine up on sale but would say its worth the full price. Added into my setup to make a 3.1 for now and my listening experience has changed for the better!

  14. BryceE

    For the price, it projects clear and vibrant audio.

  15. BobA

    its a great center channel easy to install puts out real good
    sound

  16. GregP

    This is the second of three reviews I’m making for this entire audio system. The audio quality is beyond amazing. The tower speakers were a hazard for our baby we just had. This speaker has a soft mesh in front and I didn’t want to risk the baby poking holes in it. The entire speaker system is amazing. Buy it now!

  17. RonBDot

    Beautiful, powerful sound. Fits under my smart TV.

  18. user278113

    Have this connected to my receiver along with two Sony bookshelf speakers and a sub. The turntable sounds great and when I run the TV through the system it’s not quite surround sound but it sure is satisfying.

  19. Unknown

    Great speakers. Quality with technical support.service and knowledgeable.

  20. JayV

    I got this on sale and so far it has worked great. It sounds clear and is a nice addition to my home theater setup.

  21. GilbertA

  22. AshantiS

    Great receiver for the price, does everything it’s required to do

    Great upgrade for my center channel speaker from an older/smaller speaker.

  24. Yorch

    Dialogue in movies and games comes out crystal clear with this center channel!! Would recommend!

  25. DisplayName

    Solid speaker. It works as expected, no muss no fuss.

  26. Chet

    Just OK for the price. Was expecting a bit more punch. Connections on back protrude a lot which can be a problem.

  27. Unknown

    Good quality sound. Plenty of volume. Not too expensive.

  28. JeromeyC

    This is one of the best receivers for the price on the market, It puts out decent sound and makes movies a lot funner..

  29. DavidM

    The sound quality is awesome, easy doing stall. Definitely What recommend this speaker? If all you need was a center speaker.

  30. Meateater

    I keep adding to my stereo and every piece of SONY equipment only makes it sound crisper and more balanced. My SONY CORE series does not disappoint. I’m an ol’rocker with hearing issues and these rock. Highly recommend

  31. Bluebunny

    Great addition to our entertainment system.
    Surround never sounded better

  32. MSSS

    Excellent product, amazing sound quality. I am using it with my Denon AVR and Origin ceiling speakers along with Sony 2-way center channel speaker

  33. Philip

    Great product. Connected easily to my system. Great sound.

  34. Slugman

    Sound is fine for a center channel audio profile. Easy to install.

  35. JosephK

    A great buy and step up for my stereo system. The heart of my system is my Sony Receiver which I purchased at Best Buy. A great deal on sale at Best Buy

  36. Wayne

  41. ChristineH

    Sound quality is amazing. Comes through very clear.

  42. AndrewR

    Great sound and amazing looks, is easy to setup and goes good with the home stereo system!

  43. OfferUp

    Good, crisp sound. Good for a small/medium room. Not muffled. Great performance to price ratio.

  44. Drew

    Combined with Sony Receiver, Sony Subwoofer, and 4 surround sound speakers from another brand. The center speaker adds the percect touch to hear dialogue and allows surround speakers to focus on ambiance/music.

  45. MichaelS

    Good product for the money, if you a limited on funds this is one to pick.

  46. Christian

    Bought this to match the sscs5’s for tamber matching. Using the MultEQ-X app and REW combined gives me a flat response to create whatever house curve I want to use. Sounds extremely crisp and not to bright or boomy. Initially it was muddy sounding to me in my theater, after adjustments it sounds amazing!

  47. Unknown

    Clear and compact speaker. Produces great sound for our space.

  48. MichaelS

    I am very happy with my purchase, I have an older system and adding the center channel improved my listening experience. Good value for the money. Thanks

  49. OldDominion

    Bought this in an open box sale. The features are outstanding. Have consolidated lots of wiring. Love it.

  50. David

    Put out good quality sounds. As far as price I got it on otherwise I wouldn’t have bought it
