Teamed this with the Samsung HW-650 Sound bar. It was really easy to connect via Bluetooth with the sound bar and the system sounds great.

A great addition to my HW-A650 system. Automatically connected and sounds better than the 8500 series. Worth the extra dollars

Great add-on to my T-550 sound bar. These are very easy to connect to your sound bar. You can adjust the rear speaker volume to your liking.
The length of speaker wire is good. Just place the receiver, run the wires and enjoy.

I'm giving this a 4 star review because they're a nice little addition, but the room they're in right now for me they're up high and think they would do much better low. Also they were an impulse buy with my soundbar, so I didn't look into them a lot. They're wireless in the sense that there is a receiver from the main sound bar to that box, but the speakers themselves have wires that connect to the receiver box. I'm keeping them for when I move I can adjust them how I think they'll work a bit better for me though. I'm not giving other star ratings because I never did any research to compare expectation to reality with, but I do recommend you at least try them for a nice subtle touch to your sound experience

Very good sound bar at such a great price! Pretty solid sound alone and if you add the back speakers really makes it feel like your in your own mivie theatre! a great way to stream and binge watch your favorite shows and movies, we are huge star wars fans so takes it to another level for sure having these to match our 70 inch samsung TV. Solid product and if you shop around they far surpass others on good price for good quality and good on warrantys as well.

Amazing upgrade to your Samsung sound-bar!

I’ve been enjoying my Samsung sound bar for a few years now, wanted an upgrade but didn’t quite feel I needed a whole new one. So I came across these, and despite seeing bad reviews for these I thought I’d try them anyways since there was a good deal on a open box at my local store (which still looked brand new despite being labeled in good condition). The setup took a bit to figure out but once I watched a YT video on how, it was simple. Also wasn’t sure they would work for my sound bar since it was not on the compatibility list, it worked out just fine (N550 model from about 4 years ago).
Just from hearing the first song with the rear speaker kit, I could instantly hear the difference. My room just felt it was more filled with sound! Instead of the normal feeling of the sound coming from one direction like it was before with the sound bar alone. It was pretty cool to hear just certain beats and words of the song on the rear speakers. These really transformed my sound experience, felt like a complete upgrade for just under 90 bucks! I really notice it while playing video games as well, it’s easy to hear what’s around you with more of a 360 sound. As well as movies, ambient sounds come from the rear speakers, making you feel more “in” the movie. Super happy these made the system in my room into a 5.1 channel system.
I really love these and wish I would’ve gotten them sooner. If you’re looking for a upgrade to your sound system, this is perfect without having to pay for all new system.

So previously I had purchased the SWA-8500S model and was very disappointed. Very low sound no matter what I did so they were returned. FF 2yrs later and I bought these open box and even though they didn't blow me away they sound much better. Now they are not loud but they are not supposed to be. They are surround speakers and they do what they are supposed to... Fill in the sound. Now my soundbar was not on the compatibility list but they linked after a few tries and they work great. No issues with sound dropping or cutting out or the module un syncing. Over all I am happy with my purchase.

Not Compatible with Q700A Sound Bar

These are fantastic rear speakers that I also use with my HW-Q850A sound bar. These speakers came with the 850A kit. Currently, Best Buy advertises these SWA-9100S rear speakers as being compatible with the Q700A when they are not. I have went through two sets of these speakers. Please read the customer reviews to find out for yourself. Even the last two Samsung reps stated that they are not compatible. The speakers themselves are a 5 star product but I dinged Best Buy for not being able to provide accurate product specifications and recommendations for compatibility.

Very easy to hook up to my q600 soundbar system. They add the background sound missing from the system. They don't over power you but kick in just enough to notice what you were missing from not having rear speakers. Us I got them open box so they were only 80 bucks. Easy to use and install

Pretty good. Annoyances are: obviously it’s not truly wireless. Sound was cutting in and out. It was 15 feet away from soundbar and a wireless router was next to it. I ended up moving the wireless speaker base station next to the soundbar and splicing a longer speaker wire to the surround speakers.
If you’re having problems with sound cutting out, it probably doesn’t have a good connection wireless to the soundbar.

Nice that the wireless receiver piece is now built into one of the speakers instead of a separate piece of hardware like the older 8500’s. ALSO nice that does away with the proprietary speaker wire ends. My only wish would be for some longer speaker wires to be included with the set. Sound and range is good.z

The Samsung - 2.0-Channel Wireless Rear Speaker Kit is nice addition with the Samsung - HW-A650 3.1ch Soundbar, but it lacks real output to make a noticeable difference when it comes down to surround sound. For the price, it works for the family room TV. Also, it states “Wireless“, but you have to wire it to its wireless receiver and not wireless from the soundbar. They should be totally wireless from the soundbar to be started as “wireless”.

The sound is good, but not great. It is extremely easy to pair them with your capable sounder and brings an extra to the table when watching movies and soccer games, but I think these could be a bit louder.

Hi jmad!
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung SWA-9100S Rear Speaker Kit. We appreciate you sharing your experience with the surround sound system.
By design, the surround speakers are supposed to simulate sounds happening behind the viewer. Therefore, most of the time the surround channels are only used for ambient sounds, which are naturally lower in volume.
However, there are a few settings you can change to adjust the surround effect to your preference:
1) 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. 2) If the source has surround channels, select the desired Sound Mode from the Soundbar remote. 3) Turn off Dynamic Range Control. This is done by pressing and holding the Sound Mode button while the Soundbar is in standby mode. Depending on your soundbar model, you may or may not have DRC. 4) Increase the volume level of the surround speakers using the Sound Control button on the Soundbar remote control. 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.
I hope these tips help to enhance your audio enjoyment.
