I purchased 4 of these speakers after reading a lot of the good reviews it was getting. I'm glad to say that they were right and I have not been disappointed. I bought 2 for Dolby Atmos in a dedicated theater room and the other 2 for the game room.Build Quality:After opening up the box I was very pleased to see the quality of the build and the speaker. The woofer has a woven "carbon fiber" like material that has good rigidity and rubber surround on the speaker. The tweeter is fully contained in the bracket hovering above the woofer. It's very easy to point in the direction that you want it to go. It probably has up to 1/4th of an inch of directional movement. The plastic tabs attached to the screws and grip to the back of the drywall are thick. I didn't have any issues with these, but I could see where if installed incorrectly the screw could strip the plastic tabs and could be a weak point. The grill is of good quality and is paintable as well.Installation:I didn't have any issues installing the speakers. I installed it using the supplied template. I put the template up, traced around where the cut should be, and then I used a general purpose 2 1/2 inch hole saw to cut out as many parts of the dry wall as possible. I then went back with a handheld drywall saw to cut out the small pieces that were left. This was an easier process for me. I would then vacuum the dust and do a test fit. After doing doing that a few times I would then tape the drywall cut edge as the installation instructions suggest. I moved my drill down to level 4 so that I would not strip the screws from the plastic tabs that hold onto the drywall. This was probably the part that made me most nervous. I did not have any issues though.Pros:- Great sounding speaker. Having an 8-inch woofer and tweeter helps it to have a more full sound.- Pivotable tweeter helps point the highs, which are more directional detectable, closer to the listening sweet-spot.- Ability to tweak the woofer and tweeter -3db to +3db separately with the flick of a switch.- Very low profile on the ceiling and has a very good look.- Easy installation.Cons:- Not going to win any bass competitions. However, this is not that big of a deal at all because it has plenty of bass for in-ceiling speakers.- The trade of of having such a low profile is that more of the speaker is in the ceiling. This was not an issue for me, but if you don't have much space in the ceiling to work with it could be a tighter fit.Conclusion:Overall I am super pleased with this purchase. I would suggest looking at these for your Dolby Atmos or other in-ceiling speaker needs. I will be suggesting these to all my friends in the same boat as me. These speakers will provide me with many years of listening enjoyment! I'll know that I was able to do the installation all by myself and got the speakers at a great price!

I’ll refrain from a detailed review on the speaker itself since others have already covered it so well, but I will add this: these were to add in-ceiling Atmos speakers to a very high-end system. Before, I had a 5.2.2 setup, and the two Atmos speakers were probably the cheapest components in my system: the SVS Prime Elevations (~$500, I think). Now, these are great speakers for a number of applications, but using them to replicate the height/ceiling effects in Atmos? Well… there’s a reason people suggest to go in-ceiling.So when I finally left the apartment to my own home, adding in-ceilings was the obvious first move to my HT. I read everything, and having no issues spending small fortunes on audio components, I was ready to drop a fair bit. But even the most trusted sources showed… it’s really just not worth it. An inexpensive but decent enough in-ceiling will do every bit as well as anything else for those Atmos effects. You have to remember these aren’t fronts, a center, or even surrounds — they handle far less and don’t need to be $1000-2000 or more to match fronts. Timbre matching isn’t nearly as important hereNow, for installing into a drop ceiling, I found there really are no good brackets and quick fixes that work well (important for any size tile, but especially the 2’x4’ like mine), and you *need* to add support to prevent sag, or outright breaking the tile. For me, the easiest solution was to just get 2’x4’ plywood at about $26 each, line it up to my ceiling tile, and cut aligned holes in the tile as well as the plywood. And that’s it. I’m not even close to a professional woodworker and found it very easy. My hole cut wasn’t perfect, but the speaker covers that all up anyway.My only concern was possibly getting rattles, so I dropped the tile, wood and speaker into the ceiling expecting a good chance to have to go back and Brace them together or add wood glue, but…. Nope. So, as long as you have/can borrow the tools, you should be able to make the panel you’ll need easily Been months now and couldn’t be happier. This was absolutely the missing link in my Atmos HT

We have Micca indoor speakers, and have had a very positive experience. Based on our previous purchases, we bought and installed these in an outdoor covered porch. They look great and sound great for the space (we have two covering a 16’ x 14’ area) and generally at any volume level.

I very much was impressed with the build quality and performance. The adjustable tweeter orientation is a great feature along with with the+/-treble and bass boost.Only two minor niggles.1) The exposed trim ring must be painted, to match the speaker grill, as the grill snaps into the speaker flange (trim ring) rather than covering it.2) The speaker is attached to the drywall ceiling using self tapping screws that pull-in plastic latches (fingers) tight against the top of the drywall opening. It is important to "pre-tap" the screws, into the latches, on the work bench before actually trying to install the speakers into an over head ceiling. The tapping process requires a good screw driver and, sometimes, major effort. Work the (4) mounting screws in/out several times to enable a smooth operation.

Put in a pair to do my 5.2.2 system.Easy enough to install, no complaints. I mean you just have a spot to put them and be handy.They sound large, and loud. I think they sound good for Atmos. Choppers, rain, thunder, gunfire, spaceships and explosions have all sounded great above me. Don't know what expensive speakers would sound like. These already sound amazing. I just listened to what others had said about not spending a fortune on the in-ceilings, and put it towards better center, or other speakers. Ive been using these for a few months, and think my setup sounds Grade A personally.

I read a review ages ago about these speakers that compared them against more expensive units and these fared well. Quality is great for a ceiling speaker. I wouldn't do any critical listening with these or any ceiling speakers because the format just isn't made for that, but for background music or maybe rear surround speakers these do very well.

I wanted to save some money and so I went with these for a basement renovation project. I did a fair amount of product research before purchasing these and most of the reviews were very positive.Installing them was a bit of a headache because the tabs that flip out sometimes fall out of their channel and end up angled. To fix this you can pre-tighten them before install so that the plastic is "tapped" and it goes a bit smoother. Also, constant pressure helps as well. After the first speaker I figured out those solutions and I was off and running.I connected them up to my receiver and was blown away! In my main floor living room I have Polk Audio RC60i speakers that sounds really good, but these are arguably better. They have more mid-low frequency, they're punchy, you have a treble and bass adjustment on the speaker that seems to work quite well (I played with it and reverted both back to 0db and let me Marantz receiver handle eq).These are definitely an upgrade compared to some major brands, just be careful when installing them.Pros:- Amazing Sound- Built in level adjustments for the tweeter and the woofer.- Tremendous value- Standard install- Flush mounted grill makes them blend in betterCons:- Install tabs aren't very high quality. Docked one star for this.
