Review on πŸ”Š Leviton SGC65-W 6.5-Inch Two-Way In-Ceiling Loudspeaker, White - Premium Sound Solution for your Home by Daniel Pierce

Revainrating 4 out of 5

easy installation in ceiling and wall speakers

This ceiling speaker package has several advantages. First of all, the speakers have a nice design, there are stencils to paint on and they are easy to mount on the wall. I liked the size and features. This is a two-way speaker with a 6.5" cone rated at 120W/60 RMS peak power. I love that the bars can also be painted so I can match the colors to the wall if I want. The general build quality is good, although the frame is plastic; I felt it was strong enough. The speakers also feature built-in Auto Surge Protection Technology, exclusive to Leviton. So how did it sound? I'm not a speaker guru, but I really appreciate quality sound. Given that "good sound quality" is a very subjective term, I've found that sometimes a cheap set of bookshelf speakers can have good sound quality (and expensive ones can't). So, in my humble opinion, this pair of Levitons delivers mediocre sound quality. I'd say it lacks bass but mids and highs are filled with clarity. However, I found it to be actually perfect for a gym that has a lot of treadmill and bike noise. I first tested the mini amp and Aeroexpress for streaming during my workout and it worked really well. However, without considering all the noise around me, I have to say that the sound quality is slightly above average and not impressive. All in all this is a good value for money pair of ceiling/wall speakers. I don't know what alternatives there are to a pair of in-ceiling speakers in the $60 range, but for now it's a decent set.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • High price
