Best Ceiling & In-Wall Speakers of 2025

"As an Audio Engineer, I couldn't be more pleased with my 7.1 environment setup using these speakers. The installation was straightforward, and with some insulation added, the sound quality improved significantly. I paid under $600 for everything and recommend this configuration for anyone wanting a great audio experience without breaking the bank."

"I initially bought the RC85i model after comparing it with the RC80i. The shallow depth and sound projection of the tweeter sold me. The installation was hassle-free with clear instructions, and I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality considering the price. They look great too, and I appreciate that I can paint the grills to match my decor!"

"I found these speakers incredibly easy to install even as a first-timer. The included template ensured a perfect cut, and I didn't have to worry about rough edges. The sound quality is fantastic, and they're a great deal for the money. I’m definitely considering getting another pair for my living room!"

"I installed these speakers for a client at an urgent care facility, and they were very happy with the addition of a Bluetooth receiver. The sound is crisp and clean—you won't be disappointed; it's a great value!"

"I'm not an audiophile, but these speakers have really impressed me. I was skeptical because of the low price, but after two weeks, I'm convinced. They are a major improvement over just two stereo speakers, especially for dialog and effects in movies. I'm using them in a 7.1 system, and the experience has been immersive!”

"I recently switched from older Bose speakers to these ceiling speakers for some background music, and the sound quality is a vast improvement! I appreciate how cost-effective they are, although I did have some trouble with the front grills. Overall, I'm very satisfied with them!"

“I added four ceiling speakers for Dolby Atmos to my Klipsch system. My room is small with low ceilings, so I opted for these instead of the larger 8-inch model. The price was good, installation was easy, and the sound is very good. I’m using a Marantz 7055 to power them, and while they work well for Dolby Atmos, I’d consider the bigger ones for full-time stereo use.”

“I decided to go with Klipsch for my front heights after struggling to find Martin Logans IC's that matched my other speakers. I’m really pleased with my choice; they offer a solid match for any mid-range setup at a great price.”

“I purchased four Klipsch CDT-5650-C II ceiling speakers to enhance my home theater from 5.1 to 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos. Once the ceiling holes were cut, the installation was straightforward, and they sound fantastic! However, I found out that the warranty might not apply, which is why I gave them four stars instead of five.”

"I bought two pairs of these for my living room surround sound. Installation was easy and they mount very flush. The sound quality exceeded my expectations, with a broad and full range. I even turned off my subwoofer and the bass sounded great!"

"I installed these speakers in my kitchen for a ceiling system. They have a nice punch when connected to my Sonos amp, and even at higher volumes, they don’t distort. For my needs, they are perfect."

"These four Yamahas are set up for overhead Dolby Atmos in my home theater. The sound is exceptional, especially the mid and high frequencies. While the lower frequencies aren't as strong, I have subwoofers to cover that."

"I bought these to replace my existing ones and they were easy to install and have great sound quality!"

"I installed these along with a Marantz SR8012. The pivoting speaker is a nice effect, producing a clean, powerful sound that balances well with my other Klipsch speakers."

"These speakers, along with my subwoofer, make our great room rock! They truly enhance the theater experience!"

"I found these speakers to be great for retrofitting my home sound system. They fit perfectly and I was able to install each one in just five minutes! The mounts are solidly designed, and the mesh covers fit tight."

"I purchased several of these speakers to fill my basement ceiling. The installation process was a breeze, and I have no complaints about the sound quality. If I need more, I would definitely buy again."

"After replacing our old ceiling speakers, the sound quality from these Pyle speakers is excellent! They really pack a punch, and I'm considering buying a rectangular pair for the living room soon."

“I found the quality in wall speakers to be exceptional! The installation was straightforward, and the sound is impressive for the price. After upgrading from R 51Ms as surrounds, these speakers really enhanced my setup.”

“For the price, these speakers are good! I just hang them up and enjoy my music while dancing around. Enjoy your music high!”

“My speakers arrived in perfect condition, and the sound quality is amazing. I saved a lot by not purchasing directly from Klipsch or Crutchfield. I got these for half the price, and there are no defects or distortion.”

"I’m not a Polk devotee, but I’m thrilled with these speakers. The sound quality truly exceeds my expectations, especially in the mid-bass range. They installed easily in my new home, and I appreciate how invisible they are once mounted. The upgraded wiring posts were an added bonus."

"I wasn’t expecting much from in-ceiling speakers, but these have changed my perspective on Polk. The three-driver design delivers a smooth midrange and tight bass. They fit perfectly in my 15x20 ft space, and I’m impressed by how well they perform without an enclosure."

"After extensive research, I chose these for my home theater setup, and I'm extremely satisfied with the sound. The installation templates made it easy, and I love how they blend into the ceiling. With some calibration, they can only get better!"

"At first, I was a bit skeptical about these speakers, but once I installed them, they sound amazing—loud and exactly what I wanted. Definitely worth it!"

"I had to install these in a mobile classroom, and the sound is more than acceptable—even loud at times without distortion. They exceeded my expectations!"

"I set up five sets of these speakers in my spa. The hardwiring made installation smooth, and the sound quality is decent for the price. I would totally recommend them!"

"I ordered these as a gift for my husband, and they are awesome! Installation was pretty quick since we had some prior experience with ceiling speakers. Great quality and they sound really good!"

"I think Klipsch in-ceiling speakers are really impressive! They have crisp highs and pack a punch. Just a heads up, the 8-inch speakers are quite large, so make sure to measure before buying. Good value for the money!"

"I appreciate the nice clean look and tight grills. They’re well-built. These speakers, which have a somewhat 'trebley' sound, allow for crossover adjustments through easily accessible switches to better fit what an American ear is used to."
