Got these with the HW-Q800B/ZA and a QN85 TV. How the 3 system works together is quite excellent. Most sound bars sure of the tv sound, however with the Samsung Q Symphony, the tv sound remains on to complement the other speakers. These has up-firing speakers. Also, its compatibility is limited to the higher end sound bars. I wouldn’t pay full price on these, but if you can get it on sale, it’s a good value. They are only compatible with the following 2021/2022 sound bars: 2022: HW-S800B, HW-0800B, HW-Q700B 2021: HW-0900A, HW-0800A, HW-0700A

I bought these speakers to pair with my Samsung Q700A Soundbar. I liked how the soundbar sounded, but definitely felt I wasn't getting the "full" surround sound experience. After buying these, I will never go back to just a soundbar and subwoofer. There are definitely some challenges to note with these. I picked the soundbar based off the recommendation that came with my TV. On that same recommendation sheet, it listed these speakers. I knew everything would sync up and work correctly, but if you have the wrong TV model, they may not work correctly. Also buying either these or the soundbar used may cause you to run into issues with controlling them. So far, the only way to control them is through a separate app (which I have not yet installed) or the remote that came with the soundbar. Many people have said they are too low, but once I turned them up all the way with the soundbar remote, I haven't had any issues. You'll want to make sure the show/movie/etc. you are watching has Dolby audio to really get the full effect. I would also recommend you get a study stand if you don't plan to mount these. While they are not the biggest speakers in the world, they do feel solid. The first pair of stands I bought were not very stable and I worried these would come down any second now. Also make sure you place the right and left speaker correctly. First time I set these up, I had them backwards and thought my sound wasn't as good. Overall, if you already have a compatible TV and soundbar, these are a no-brainer. Especially if you can find an Open Box version with everything included. You will feel like you have your own movie theater with these!

Hi KBURNS,
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung SWA-9500S Wireless Rear Loud Speakers to accompany your HW-Q700A
Once this kit is connected to a compatible Samsung soundbar, the soundbar remote is then used to control the volume level of the rear kit. Press the Sound Control button on the soundbar remote (looks like a gear), then select REAR LEVEL and use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the volume within a -6 to +6 range.
Also, make sure that the source (e.g. TV output) is sending surround channels to the Soundbar. If the source is not capable of surround, then set the Surround mode to OFF on the Soundbar by pressing the Surround button on the remote. If the source has surround channels, select the desired Sound Mode from the Soundbar remote.
You might want to try turning off Dynamic Range Control. This is done by pressing and holing the Sound Mode button while the Soundbar is in standby mode. Depending on your soundbar model, you may or may not have DRC.

These Samsung SWA-9500S speakers are the secret sauce to leveling up your audio game! Pair them with the Samsung HW-S800B (HW-S80C/B) 3.2.1ch Soundbar, and they transform it into a full-on surround sound beast. Dolby Atmos kicks in hard—voices zip overhead, and explosions sneak up from behind like a ninja. Setup’s wireless and painless (just plug in power), while the 2.0.2 channels bounce sound off your ceiling for that wow-factor height. They’re not solo performers, and I’d love a bit more volume oomph, but for $300, they turn movie nights into a theater vibe. Wall-mount or stand ‘em—your ears will be living their best life!

Bought this to go with my new samsung soundbar and tv. Bought it open box in excellent condition and it looked new. Price for open box is well worth it otherwise i would not have bought. Sound is good but not excepttional. For the purpose of suround speakers its good. It was super simple to setup. Less than 5 min.

Speakers are heavy duty but not too heavy. Very easy to connect to soundbar if compatible. I love them, they change the sound of the room and can sound very loud!

I got these open box excellent for less than 100, so for that price yes, I think these are great. They definitely add sound and make a more immersive experience. But ultimately, I think you need stands for them to make the best use out of them, unless you happen to have conveniently located end tables/bookcases/shelves to the side of you or behind your watching area. I don't think they do as well on the floor. Put one on an end table and the other on the floor test. End table side produced much clearer sound. Also these can only be used WITH a compatible Samsung soundbar (I use HW-Q800C). Not as standalone speakers, even though they are full range. Which I mean, would have added more utility but since they are really only meant to be used in a home theater setup anyway, not really an issue. Just thought I would add in case anyone was wondering.

These speaker changes the whole experience of Dolby atmos content . I bought open box and they were like new no complains and working great. If you are worried about testing, there is a method to test each individual channels on Samsung Soundbars by pressing the right button on remote.

Easily paired with a Samsung s800B for a full 5.1 experience. Atmos is good. Only 35 watts so not a lot of power but great for the "theater" experience.

Excellent rear speakers. Makes so much difference with and without these combined with the soundbar. To get the full Atmos experience, these are a must!

I am honestly both surprised and impressed. I was using an M450 soundbar with 8500S rear speakers. The system was decent and provided an okay surround sound experience. After picking up the 800A and the 9500S I would say I feel I have made a pretty substantial leap forward in experience. The bad: -The 800A was a challenge to set up. Mostly because my Samsung TV was detecting the last sound bar and the new one did not set up properly. Eventually I got it to register. -I am using an Xbox Series X. At first I couldn't really notice the Dolby Atmos, even though it was registered on the soundbar and selected in options. I had to go to the app to set it up manually there as well, and then it worked... -Once everything was set up, I could get a feel for a soundscape, but there was still some fidgeting with the rear speaker volume levels and messing with the soundbar settings. Eventually I got it into what I would describe as a "sweet spot." The good: -Wow, the 800A paired with these blew me away. I think the 800A alone really demonstrates how you are getting half an experience. Pairing the 9500S with the 800A creates a full soundscape. You can hear noises start in front and travel to the back. -When you have a good quality Atmos track, you can tell you have everything working right. Listening to different movies on occasion it does feel as if the noise is happening above you or randomly at your side. -I love that it's just the speakers and I don't have an additional box I need to plug them in. I can truly put them anywhere there is a power source. The Ugly: -The photos really don't do these justice to demonstrate scale. They're uh...pretty big. One would hope the speakers are large to get the job done, but these do not blend into the environment well. -You really have to move them around to get the exact location for all the effects to work, and it can take awhile of testing and rearranging to make sure it's all in the right location. -The included power chords are short. I don't have outlets near where I need these to go. Probably not an issue for other people but I am definitely stretching the limit of these chords. Overall, I wouldn't just recommend them for the 800A. I would say they are essential. If you only use the soundbar, you are only getting half the experience.

Okay firstly I have to say that these speakers are absolutely HUGE, ive had multiple Samsung soundbars and different models of their Rear speaker kits (8500S, 9100S, etc) and I was genuinely surprised at how large these speakers were the moment I opened up the box. And I remember when I first picked up the box from my porch I said "wow thats heavy for just rear speakers". neither the BestBuy website nor the Samsung website convey just how large they are (and also quite heavy) so if youre using these in a smaller room they definitely will look a bit extreme. however, regardless of the size, they do sound absolutely amazing which is why I will give them 5 stars. im using the Q700A soundbar with these speakers and they really do make the surround experience amazing. the top mounted speakers are also a very nice feature because they do a good job of projecting the sound in different areas. listening to Dolby Atmos soundtracks is also another amazing experience. and also not having a module is a BIG plus. these speakers connect to the soundbar so quickly and its such an easy process, it took me 30 seconds to have everything up and running. I would only say that if you're using these in a smaller room they can be a bit overpowering. but if you're like me and want the best you can have, this is definitely it.

These speakers pair easily and greatly enhance the surround sound experience; sound comes from everywhere. With the Q700C the sound channels increase from 3.1.2 to 5.1.4. Those who complain they couldn't hear anything coming from these speakers simply don't have their system setup correctly; you have to ensure your TV is actually sending a multi-channel signal (Dolby Atmos preferred, but Dolby Digital Plus sounds great too) to the soundbar, and that the content being viewed has a multi-channel soundtrack. Simple stereo will be converted to surround depending on the mode of the soundbar, but the effect will be far less impressive. I'll admit I'm especially pleased with these speakers having gotten a great open-box deal at best buy; at full price they'd have cost more than the soundbar itself (also a great open-box deal at another retailer). I did have to buy the proper remote for the soundbar to pair them, it's not possible to pair the rear speakers with the SmartThings app which was otherwise adequate for setup (but said remote was cheap and arrived the next day). About the only complaint I have with these is that the power cords are a bit short but it's not even worth deducting a star given the fantastic performance.
