Great, but use the app!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're using these speakers, make sure to also use the Samsung SmartThings App. If so, you'll be able to to control the Channel Level for the Rear and Rear Top of these speakers directly through the app, and it really makes these speakers sing. Once they were added to my Samsung S800B, the audio in my room seemed significantly fuller (it was a bit thin with just the S800B alone). As a result, I almost consider these a MUST HAVE with that particular sound bar. I bought these Open Box, and they appeared to be in near perfect condition!

They're big
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these to compliment to Q700A system. So far it's been awesome to use. THe only wires you need to attach are power cables. As long as you have outlets nearby, it makes wiring nice and hidden. They're a bit on the short side, so have an extension cord ready just in case. And since it's a bluetooth connection no need to worry about speaker cables. Pairing with the bluetooth is also really easy. I had one issue when I unplugged one speaker and it took me a couple tries to get the one paired. Not sure what I did since I tried a couple things and it finally worked. Soundwise it's been great i've been tinkering with position. So far I think what works for me is pointing the speakers closer to each other, rather than towards the listeners. This seems to have best sound. Overall, i'm loving it.

Great Upgrade To Samsung Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This true dolby atmos setup is awesome. Due to our setup I had to put them on the floor next to the couch (aesthetic reasons) but they are still AWESOME. My wife is often surprised to hear a helicopter literally sound like it is coming from out the window and it is very good for the price.

Good value
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds awesome! I bought the Samsung HW-Q700A soundbar for my husband for Christmas to pair with the Samsung Q80A 75-inch TV that I surprised him with last year. We purchased these to pair with it. While we loved the soundbar and the clarity of the dialogue in movies and shows, he wanted the surround sound. Unfortunately, we do not have a spot to put the speakers because we have an open floor plan with a kitchenette behind the couch and we didn't want to place the speakers on stands. We upgraded to the JBL Bar 9.1 My preference would have been to keep the Samsung with these speakers just because the dialogue was so clear while watching movies but we would have to give up on the superior surround sound of the JBL. Plus, I'm a Samsung junkie and it bothers me not to have all electronics the same brand. If you have space to put the Samsung side speakers when adding to the soundbar, I would recommend the Samsung. We went with the JBL due to the convenience factor and the detachable side speakers for the Dolby Atmos benefit.

Gives real surround sound!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased these to go with the Samsung sound bar. Paired up easily and sound great. Wireless connection to the subwoofer but they need to be plugged into power, which wasn't a problem. Didn't have to run speaker wires which was nice. Provide real surround sound and not some "simulated" surround.

Only 2021 Samsung Models Can Pair.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately my Soundbar System was not compatible. This set of speakers only work with 2021 Samsung Soundbar models. I can't give these speakers a bad rating because of the compatibility issues. Hopefully Samsung will roll out an update that will allow these to be paired with my 2020 model. I will repurchase if an update comes out.

Should you add this to your sound bar? I say yes.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re listening in the appropriate format they definitely add to the experience. A bit expensive for what they are but I have a sound bar media setup for many years. The long term value to upfront cost ratio I feel is worth it.

Don't Hesitate!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these open box "fair" and they were literally still in the plastic just missing the mounts. Theyre extremely clear and accurate and give a whole new dimension to your sound bar. If youre debating whether to buy them, DON'T HESITATE!

The perfect accessory
|Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Great sounding rears.

Links fast and provide quality sound.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely a must add for setting up a soundbar. Linked to the Samsung system very quickly and does add rear sound for an immersive atmos experience. They are larger then expected.
