    Need Refund – Defective Samsung Wireless rear spea

    Dear Best Buy team, I am writing to bring to your attention an issue with the Samsung Wireless Rear Speaker Kit (Model: SWA-9500S), Order ID:BBY01-807062414343) that I recently purchased on Jun 03, 2025 from BestBuy Website. Upon unboxing and installation, I discovered that both rear speakers in the kit are for the right side—there is no left-side speaker included in the package. This clearly appears to be a packaging or manufacturing error, as the product is expected to contain one right and one left rear speaker for proper surround sound functionality. Due to this defect, I am unable to use the product as intended. I therefore request a refund for the item at the earliest convenience.

    I purchased the HW-A650/ZA from Bestbuy and it says SWA-9500S are compatible rear speakers on the soundbar webpage. So, I ordered them. Couldn't pair them to the soundbar which made me go online for research. Seems like most people are saying they are not compatible. Big disappointment because I purchased these over the 9100 as I thought they would be an upgrade. Now I have to return.

      Hello DanaS,

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung SWA-9500S Wireless Rear Speakers to accompany your Samsung Soundbar.

      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.

      If you need more help, Samsung is here for you. Please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST (Ask for Soundbars), 7 days a week. Our Live Chat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

    Pretty Impressed

    Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.

    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.

    Good rear speakers although not needed.

    I believed the rear speakers would be a good addition to my soundbar and subwoofer. I am somewhat torn however. The Good: They are truly wireless speakers and only require a cable for electricity which is a huge plus! Setup takes just minutes after mounting to a decent stand and system recognized them almost instantly. In major movie scenes and in video games that support surround, they really stand out and makes you feel as you are at the center of the action. Dolby atmos supported movies and apps do work as advertised The Not so Good: My main gripe and reason for not giving 4 stars is that in between big movie scenes they seem rather quiet, even when I turned their volume to the max. I put my ear to them while a movie was playing and they were both playing sounds during quiet scenes, just not enough to be noticeable on my couch not even 2 feet away. They are a bit heavy so make sure to get a good stand. Also the cable to connect to the outlet is a measly 4-5 feet. Not really ideal for a large open living room like mine. In conclusion I would recommend these only if you can overlook its slight drawbacks.

    Fantastic addition to Q700C soundbar

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    These are fantastic little speakers. When placed correctly they provide excellent sound. They have to be placed in a very strict location to actually hear the the top firing Atmos speakers. Since they reflect sound off the ceiling you have to have a perfectly flat ceiling that cannot be more than 9 ft tall. That sounds has to travel from the top firing speakers, hit the ceiling, and bounce directly above you. It's very hard to get them perfect and it tookr over 2 hours of finding the right placement. You can crank up the speakers with the Samsung Smart Things app, but even when playing DD+ Atmos content with heavy overhead sounds, they just aren't that powerful. They're a good price on sale, and paired with my Q-900C soundbar flawlessly and never disconnected.

    HUGE speakers, Incredible sound

    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.

    Great Rear speakers. These are truely wireless other than power. They connect directly to the sound bar. Just make sure you have the correct one. These only work with the new Q series from 2021+. They take a great soundbar and elevate it to a great home theatre system. Making my 3.1.2 into a 5.1.4. They are bigger than you expect though so make sure you have the room for them.

These are wireless so all you have to do is plug them into an electrical outlet and they connect within seconds to your existing Samsung soundbar. And they have the up-firing Dolby Atmos speakers which is icing on the cake. Highly recommend if you can find them.

    Excellent rear speaker kit to accompany my Samsung Q800B sound bar. Easy to setup and pair. The Atmos effects aren't that noticeable from the rear speakers and they are a bit quiet on certain content but they do create a much larger sound stage when the right content is played with them. The power cable design is not the best for speaker stands. Due to the location of the L power connector on the bottom, I could not route the power cable down my stands and instead had to route them on the outside with zip ties. Also, the included power cables are very short, luckily I was able to hide the extension cable I used underneath the couch. Pricey for what they are, luckily I purchased them on discount. They are on the heavier side so be sure to purchase speaker stands that can support the weight without drooping or falling over. I used Atlantic speaker stands PN 77305018 which worked perfectly for me (minus the cable management). Overall I would buy them again at the price point that I got them at.
