Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got some great deals. Bought a computer and a polk sound sysre.

They constantly pop, crackle, and cut out. I wish I would have listened to the other reviews becauseit'sa common issue. My system is connected to the internet through Google Home but it only updated at setup (I'm assuming) and nothing since. For the amount of money I spent on the MagniFi Mini and the sorround speakers, I expected much better quality. I will never purchase another Polk product again. You've been warned!

It's advertised as working for my sound bar. Wouldn't pair. Called Polk and it's not compatible. Fix the list

not loud egough what i can hear is gortod too specturm does not support dobly

Not sure about them didn’t pair with my sound bar.

I returned these speakers and the whole system. They would not connect with the soundbar, the sound was weak when they did, and the cord was the cheapest possible type. Learned quickly you get what you pay for and went out and bought the Sonos for my first surround sound system instead.

These Polk SR2 wireless surround speakers are a very nice addition to the Polk React sound bar! I tested these along with the Polk React and they really can help to upgrade the audio experience you get from the sound bar. These speakers were very easy to wirelessly pair with the sound bar, and I love that they are wireless so they do not require any wiring beyond plugging them into power. After initially setting these up, I thought they were not working properly as I was testing different audio sources and not getting any sound out of them. After some further testing, I discovered that some of the audio sources on my TV did not support surround sound. For example, I did not get surround sound when opening any live tv shows on YouTube TV. But, I did get surround sound on some YouTube videos and by playing music through Alexa on the React sound bar. The quick start guide for these surround speakers had a very brief troubleshooting section that gave no mention of checking your audio source for surround sound support. They must have assumed that it would be obvious that not all audio sources support Dolby 5.1 surround, but it would have helped for them to have stated that as something to check when troubleshooting. As I mentioned, I was able to test these with some YouTube videos and music through Alexa. When a Dolby 5.1 source was being used, these definitely improved the audio experience. When testing music through Alexa, the audio was very immersive which provided an excellent listening experience. If you plan on using an audio source that does support Dolby 5.1 surround, then these really elevate the audio experience. That being said, if you will primarily be using sources that do not support Dolby 5.1, then these really aren’t necessary as they won’t improve your listening experience. Do keep that in mind when deciding whether to add these to your React sound bar. Overall, if you will be using audio sources that support Dolby 5.1, these are a really nice addition to the Polk React sound bar. They are really easy to pair and require no special wiring which makes installing and using them super easy and convenient!

I'm very glad to have the Polk Audio SR2 Wireless Surround Speakers to go with the React SoudBar! Setup is easy and the surround sound is excellent! Setup These surround speakers were easy to setup. Each speaker has a power cord and it's pretty long, over 9 feet. You can set them on a table or they can be mounted on a wall. Pairing them to the Soundbar is a quick and easy process. There's an indicator light on the bottom of each speaker showing that it's paired. Surround Sound The surround impressed me more than I thought. I expected it to only really be useful in movies but that wasn't the case. I found sounds coming unexpectedly out of the surround speakers for all different types of content. There were YouTube families we follow who used the surround channels to play music while they were talking from the front channels. Sometimes I got positional audio from videos I wasn't expecting as well. In one show I was watching I almost jumped in my seat when a spaceship that I wasn't expecting to enter the scene flew over me from behind and the sound made me feel like I was there! When surround audio is used it makes a richer environment overall and pulls me into the scene in a way I never was before. Probably my favorite feature that I didn't realize this sound system has is the "All Stereo Mode". When I'm just listening to two channel music but I want it to come out of all the speakers I can press the "Music" button twice on the remote (included with the React Soundbar) to activate "All Stereo Mode". I love this feature as it really adds value to the surround speakers! The remote included with the React Soundbar has dedicated buttons for left/right balance of the surround speakers as well as volume of the surround speakers. Sound Quality I very impressed with the sound quality no matter what I was listening to. For the surround audio, whether it was forest animals and rustling leaves or sci-fi sounds as described above, all sounds were reproduced realistically. When I had music playing through the surround speakers there was never a difference from the sounds coming out of them compared to the front. The sound was just a rich and clear as from the front soundbar. One odd thing With my setup I didn't get audio out of the surround speakers when using Dolby Surround on my TV. I set my TV to PCM audio and I got excellent, positional audio, out of the surround speakers.

These surrounds connect wirelessly to the soundbar via wifi and sweetly fill in the sound for a most satisfying experience. One note, the instructions tell you to connect each of the two surrounds, but I could not get the right one to audibly connect like the left surround and subwoofer did. But when I checked the green connection light, I found all on solid for each speaker, so it appears only one surround needs to go through wifi connection process. This soundbar system sounds so good that I don't feel the need to go listen to my 5.1 entertainment system in another room.

In reviewing the soundbar individually is a disservice in my opinion. I did use the sound bar alone, then added the subwoofer, and lastly added the wireless speakers for a full surround sound system. As a single unit, namely the soundbar, you can find better ones out there because you absolutely need a subwoofer, in this case a wireless subwoofer to at least get the bass side of the sounds. I personally have an open floor plan in our house and living room. Because of this, there are no smaller rooms and walls to bounce off. With the further addition of the wireless speakers it absolutely sings. The sounds watching a movie and listening to Spotify is a dream. It is really easy to connect Spotify to this soundbar. The installation was easy. The soundbar actually comes with both a HDMI and optical cable. Each can easily run twenty dollars per cord but Polk included everything you need here. In case you don't have an HDMI ARC connection, no problem! There's the optical connection, which, I think is an awesome connection as well. The soundbar requires you to download Amazon Alexa. In my case on my android device. From there, the soundbar's settings can be adjusted slightly with the EQ settings there. From there you need to connect the soundbar to your wifi network. The set up here is relatively easy. I say relative because my initial attempt failed even though I have Google Mesh as my network. I just attempted the second time to connect the device through Alexa and it connected pretty smoothly. The onboard EQ settings work pretty well, with the option to adjust the bass and tremble a bit. All in all, the soundbar looks good and sounds ok as a stand alone unitl The integration with Amazon Alexa was seamless and you pretty much use Alexa as your Hub. The Alexa functionality is actually better than my other Alexa enabled speakers. There's no false triggers, the sound is there and the LED line is pleasing to the eyes. Phone calls are done through the Alexa app as well. This use was clear and I had no issues using this function. In adding the wireless subwoofer, this made a huge difference on how the movies and music sounds. You can feel and hear it pretty crisp and hits the bass lines just enough but not annoying. Even at full bass. Connecting was simple. You place the wireless subwoofer where you want it, plug it in and then press the pair button on the soundbar first to pair and then on the wireless subwoofer for a few seconds. Then the final piece I think is essential in this setup is the wireless speakers. The pairing is just like with the wireless subwoofer, you press the button on the soundbar to pair and then go to each speaker to press the button to pair. This method was pretty simple and worked the first time. I got an additional prompt saying that the subwoofer pairing has failed but it was already connected. So you may get that you may not. The sounds from the wireless speakers were simple and did it's job. You can use the soundbar's remote to adjust the volume of these speakers in case you have placed them a bit off center to your listening area. With all three components combined, this is a system that sound fantastic. I have a much more powered system without the wireless speakers but to me the wireless speakers fill in the gap in what is missing in my home theater experience that I longed for. Especially when theaters are not fully opened yet. Do I recommend adding these wireless speakers? I say yes if you are looking for that theater experience!

For a full home theater experience, get these surround speakers for the react soundbar. They really add to the movie viewing experience! Adding these to the system is just as easy as the sub. (pairing button on soundbar then on each speaker.) They have their own power plugs so you just need to have outlets by them, no other wires. No fishing extra cables through the ceiling was awesome. The soundbar remote controls the level of these as well! Definitely get the soundbar, sub and surrounds for the best sound. I am very impressed!

In my opinion you really need these 2 wireless surround speakers (they still need to be plugged into a wall socket however) to get the full, rich sound you desire from your Polk React soundbar. I had no trouble at all connecting them to my bar, although I did have to move closer to it initially but then placed the speakers where I needed to and they stayed connected. On the React remote there is a Volume/Balance control for just the Surrounds which helps in getting them perfectly tuned in. I definitely recommend!

Perfect addition to the Polk sound bar and base speaker (Magnifi 2) I ordered first. These surround speakers linked right up and the room is filled with sound. Not quite as good as the Denon reciever and Polk speakers I still have, but so close I'm watching all TV, movies and listening to music through the Polk Magnify II and these surround speakers. Amazing what an imporvement over the speakers on my Sony 65" tv.

Sound gets distorded and often unclear. Added to the pop sound of the sub and a worthless app.

A piece of crap. Don't waste your money. Bought in Jan 2022. Two years later we've had nothing but problems... Frequent lockups that you have to unplug to resolve. Rear speakers won't sync at all now, even from less than 5 feet away.

These SR2 Speakers are horrible. Polk should be ashame of themselves. Why you make speakers that can't output Dolby Atmos Sound...nobody listens to Stereo Sound anymore. How can you go from Dolby Atmos to Stereo. Its like having no Surround Speakers at all. The sound is the same when connected or not connect to Soundbar. In fact the sound is worst when the speakers are connected to the Soundbar. Please make some speakers to compliment your Dolby Atmos MAT Soundbar and Subwoofer.
