What's great about it: Great sound, easy to install.
I installed four of these in the ceiling of my garage which I have built out as a home gym. They look great and have no problem filling the room with loud, clear sound. They were very easy to install even though I had never installed any recessed speakers before. I highly recommend these.

What's great about it: Easy installation, good sound
Easy to install, good sound. Installed speakers in a separate room in the house. Sounds good - not quite as much bass as the main speakers for the stereo.

What's great about it: Good value for good quality construction
What's not so great: sound quality is good but not great.
while the size of the speaker is 6 1/2 inches, the drywall cutout is closer to 8 inches (a cutting template is provided. the quality and construction of this speaker is quite solid for the price. the sound quality is good (not great). i chose this pair mainly for the low price as i have installed these in my bathroom and i don't need high quality sound mostly moisture proof. the speaker cone is not paper so i think these will work out well over time.

Review 5 for Insignia™ 6-1/2" In-Ceiling Speakers (Pair)
Good value for the money
Customer Rating

What's great about it: Value, installation
The speakers were used to upgrade and existing office audio system which had long outlived their usefulness. Found the speakers were an easy upgrade and provide good quality for the money. If you are looking for high fidelity, these are not the ones, but how they are being used in the work environment work just fine. Instructions and installation were straightforward. Finished product in ceiling is clean, crisp.

What's great about it: With the directional tweeter and simple installation these are great for the price.
What's not so great: no down side
These are very good sounding low end speakers. I ran them without a sub to see how they would sound. They carried a good mid range base and filled the room exceptionally well. The aimable tweeter makes the highs stand out and their overall appearance is as good as some expensive polk speakers I have in another room. If your budget is low these are the speakers for you!

What's great about it: Easy to setup and great price
What's not so great: nothing
These speakers are excellent for the price. I installed these speakers in a meeting room that had a drop down ceiling and they worked perfectly. The sound was great and even at full volume the sound was clear. I tested the sound with the radio and my iPod and a DVD movie. I am very happy with these speakers.
I used a Yamaha RX-V465 receiver for this setup.

What's not so great: Sound
For a basic sound system these are great speakers, (yeah for Insignia) for a demanding listener these are fair. Bought these, listened to them then got the Yamaha NSIW480- 8" speakers instead.

What's great about it: Sound quite good, especially for the price
What's not so great: Screw heads are a little soft.
These sound very good, more so when taking price into account. I installed them in a plasterboard ceiling, being sure to remove any backing paper from the underside of the fiberglass insulation. Other than that, there was no other special treatment in the ceiling cavity.
Nice bass response, mid and hi-end just fine as well, and a smooth and "full" sound. The tweeter can be "aimed", which might be a plus in some installations.
Speakers are equipped with the now-standard plastic "clamps" for mounting. Note that the phillips screw heads can be chewed up fairly easily if you're using a screw gun, so set the clutch to "loose" at first. Otherwise no complaints.
The speakers even come with a wire "loop" to help you remove the grilles if necessary.
This review is purely subjective (I did no direct comparisons), but I have listened to a lot of ceiling speakers and these are just fine for the price. Good for whole-house sound, surround speakers etc. Might even be good for front speakers in a TV room, but I usually go with bookshelf or larger enclosures for these.

What's great about it: excellent sound and easy installation
What's not so great: none
I'm using these as surround speakers for my home theater system and I have them powered by an Onkyo TX-SR605 receiver. I bought them because I was scared to go low-end but didn't want to spend a bundle on speakers that would only be used for surround.
I had already wired for surround and the template that comes in the box made installation very easy. The tweeter is aimable which was nice and I had both speakers mounted in under an hour.
After mounting them I used the auto-calibration feature on my Onkyo and it recognized them as "medium" sized speakers based on the range of sound they could reproduce. They really sound good as surround speakers and I've never once wished that I'd spent more and haven't been disappointed with the sound reproduction at all. They have easily handled their role as surround speakers and do a good job of reproducing a fairly wide range of audio. I plan on buying two more of them this month to make the jump from 5.1 to 7.1.
