A good small room system.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best sound bar for a smaller room that is easy to set up and use. I got it for a gift and it fits the bill perfectly especially with the satellite speakers.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat addition to sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to add on to my Samsung sound bar. Don't expect these to be loud like your sound bar, they do add that little extra! Some movies more some less.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really does add that extra surround. Perfect size so it won’t stand out to much.
I would recommend this to a friendNice sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are Bluetooth from the sound bar to a small tower but wired from the tower to the speakers so they have to stay fairly close together. They do help though in a larger room. I'm happy with this purchase.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat system!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love playing video games with this sound system, makes it so much more immersive.
I would recommend this to a friendConnects fine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the connection never fails once it's set up. I hooked up older speakers to it for better sound. The big issue is it's the only thing on the market to match the soundbar I bought. Basically it doesn't have enough power to make a huge difference. More power would be amazing
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Samsung
Posted .Panthersfan29:
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung Wireless SWA-8500S Rear Wireless Speaker Kit. I am sorry to hear that you did not experience the full potential of 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 holing 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.

I would recommend this to a friendGood sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The wireless connection is from sound bar to satillite power station. Your speakers still require wires to connect so if you have a distance to mount buy extra wire. Mounts had to buy separate also.
