What are the best ceiling speakers to add to your home theatre surround sound system? What about a set to install outside for barbecues or relaxing by the pool? We reviewed the best ceiling speakers out there and found 10 options that will give you beautiful sound in any room of your home – and outside, too! Before we dive into the ceiling speaker reviews, here are a few important features you should know about when buying your new ceiling speakers.
Size: The size of your speakers is incredibly important to get the best sound possible! Make sure to get the right size for your space, so you can plan around how many speakers you need and where you will install them!
Pieces: We note in each of our ceiling speaker reviews how many speakers come in each order. This way, you won’t end up buying any more speakers than you need, and you can make sure your project stays within your budget!
Waterproof: If you plan to use your ceiling speakers outside on your patio, or in a damp space like a bathroom, you’ll need waterproof or water-resistant speakers for safe listening. For dry, indoor spaces, you will be fine with non-waterproof speakers.
Power: The wattage that each ceiling speaker emits gives you an idea of how powerful each speaker will be. Higher wattage ceiling speakers carry the sound a farther distance, but lower wattage speakers are better for reducing your overall energy usage.
Frequency / Crossover: The frequency/crossover rate tells us the range of sounds a speaker can produce with the best clarity. Humans can typically hear between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, so a speaker that can match that frequency will sound crisp and clear!
Color: If you want speakers to blend into your home décor, get a set of white or grey speakers that will match your ceiling paint. If you want speakers that stand out, some speakers have paintable covers to customize the look!
Now that you know more about what to look for, let’s find a set that is perfect for your home needs! Whether you want an inexpensive and waterproof set to install on your outdoor patio, or you’re looking to invest in a superior-quality home theatre system, we have several great options for you!
