    Excellent complement to Samsung sound bar HW-K550/ZA .With the appropriate frequency range set up in sound bar and rear speaker level they offer an amazing surround sound.

    They get the job done

    They're not made nor promised to give you blow your head off movie theater surround sound but, they do spread out & expand the sound. I love the difference they made in my system & when they become paired with the system, the remote has a separate volume control for them. The only catch is that they only work with the new Samsung systems so, the price seems harmless enough but, you actually have to buy a new system in order to use them

    Wireless Speakers are not Wireless

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    3 stars since I didn't read reviews. So call me naive, but when I go to buy wireless speakers, I envision speakers with no wires, not speakers with fewer wires. From viewing it in the store, I knew it came with a rear receiver, but still thought the little speakers would connect wirelessly. They do not. I'll blame Black Friday sale hysteria. Took them back, mostly because we can't run the wires where we envisioned the speakers to go. Most people here seem to like them though.

    Barely perceptible sound

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had read the reviews with most people saying they liked these speakers and some saying they are no good. I decided to go ahead and give them a try. I wanted to use them as rear surround sound speakers to my J4000 sound bar. I had no problems linking them to the sound bar. The problem was the sound coming out of them was barely perceptible even with the rear surround sound volume turned all the way up to the maximum of 6 on the Samsung T.V. There is no volume adjust capability on these speakers or their wireless receiver. Samsung tech support said to return the speakers for new ones. Since there was other reviews making the same complaint, I thought it was more than a coincidence I was seeing the same problem and that it was not defective speakers but more likely poorly designed ones. I decided not to waste any more time with them so I returned them for a refund. I think the people giving these speakers good reviews don't even recognize they are not hearing sound come out of them over the other speakers in their surround sound system.

    Good speakers. Sound quality is good. Sounded soft at first but i was able to adjust the volume louder. Only works with certain model sound bars.

    Got these free with the K550 bundle...

    Great rear speakers. A bit of background noise if you really focus on it, but when you're viewing and focusing on the TV it's drowned out. Nice that the receiver is wireless and has god range, since I'm really tired of wires, and was one of the reasons I refused to get a HTS Receiver.

    Not worth the current retail

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I like the idea as an add on but too many negatives. First the retail price is entirely too high for what these speakers are and what they are meant to be. They add a fuller surround sound experience but nothing more. You still need to run wires from a second module so they are not wireless, plan accordingly Don't do what I did and many other people here did and push the wire too far into the speaker (wire wasn't making contact) All in all after purchasing the main sound bar and this as an add on, I likely would have been better off spending the extra and getting a full 5.1 system. These speakers should not be over $100 retail, if I had paid that I would have returned them in a second. Don't get me wrong the main sound bar saves space and has a solid sound but these speakers are over priced.

    Bought this to go along with the HWK550 3.1 Soundbar. It took literally 30 seconds to hook up and get the surround sound going. Good sound so far.

    Not truely wireless and not great sound

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought these on store clerk recommendation when I got a sound bar and sub. I had asked for wireless rear speakers and these are what he gave me. They are not wireless. They have wires that have to connect to a box that is wireless from the main system. The sound volume from these is really bad. It is hard to tell if they are even working sometimes. I am sure there are better quality truly wireless speakers out there.

    Does not connect to HW-K 850

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased these speakers at the same time I purchased the HW-K850 sound bar, being assured by the salesperson they were compatible. They are not. It will cost more to have the Geek Squad to come to my house to connect them than they cost. My rating is for the recommendation of the salesperson and for the exorbitant service offer of the Geek Squad to correct Best Buy's mistake. I have been unable to connect them so I have no idea how they sound. I have also contacted Samsung, and their foreign sales rep, who was only reading from a book, could only say they are not listed as compatible. The Geek Squad could not answer that question.but wanted to come out and charge me $149.00 to check my soundbar, which does connect and is working.

    Misleading Product Information and Packaging

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The information and illustrations on the box are very misleading. It appeared that the rear speaker kit was completely wireless. In fact, the only component that is wireless is Receiver Module (aside from the power cord). The actual speakers are hardwired from the module to the individual speakers. The overall rating (1 star) was only selected because the field was required. This product will not be used, but boxed back up and will be returned immediately. The reviews would have been very helpful with this item but the term "wireless" lead me to believe that it was just that. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! I hope this information helps someone avoid the inconvenience of this purchase.

    Not as advertised, NOT TRULY Wireless

    I should have done MORE research before buying these. They are NOT FULLY WIRELESS. This system comes with a module that syncs wirelessly to the main soundbar, but the two speakers must be wired to this module.

    Not enough volume comes from these speakers to really make a difference. Did not like the wires on the wireless system. Cannot control volume or balance. Really not a great item.
