In this article we will discuss what to look for in regard to the best in ceiling speakers, as well as state the manufacturers to consider. Unlike regular floor speakers, ceiling/wall speakers require specific installation and wiring. Some people do it on their own, while others hire professionals. Either way it makes sense to spend time doing research, find great speakers, and install them once and for all, rather than rush and have to replace them in the future.
Sound: whatever the manufacturer states on the product description in regard to the sound quality, it's impossible to know for sure until you actually listen to the speaker. This makes it absolutely essential to browse through the reviews by others about the speakers that they currently have or had in the past. It's not uncommon to see a review stating that the buyer was "shocked by the sound clarity", such as if they purchased a cheaper brand that they did not expect much from. Some customers on the contrary get surprised with the sound in a negative way.
Design: if you have a white ceiling, then most modern models will fit you, as most of them come in off-white. Yet, it still makes sense to choose a unit with a paintable surface in case its color does not match your ceiling "on the nose." Also consider if you want the speaker to be square or rounded. The rounded are the most popular today.
Finally, compare the cost. Some manufacturers truly have to offer value for the money (very little money.) Here are the brands of the best in ceiling speakers in all respects: Pyle and Bose.
