Review on ๐Ÿ”Š Pyle PDIC81RD 8'' 2-Way Midbass Woofer Speakers: In-Wall/In-Ceiling Flush Mount Pair with 250 Watts Peak Power and High-Temperature Voice Coil by Pamela Whitworth

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Long term fragility

I've been installing them for about 4 years. As far as wall/ceiling speakers go, I was quite happy with the sound quality compared to the price. However, what I don't like is the durability of the plastic bezel on the front panel. I installed four of them and all four are cracked. It was mostly a cosmetic nuisance at first, but as the crack progressed the grille inserts became loose and now fall out of the speakers from time to time unless I notice them sagging and put them back in place. On my last try, the bezel fell apart in the area of the crack and became quite brittle. The deterioration of the bezel is the reason for the three stars, otherwise I was very happy with it. It's possible for a wall/ceiling speaker to last four years, but I expected a little more. So, a great budget speaker, but be prepared for the frame to crack or crumble in a few years.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Not sure
