    Pay attention to details of the items. Based off the picture, I believed them to be decently sized speakers, but when they arrived in the mail I was extremely disappointed. They were much too tiny for living room speakers.

    The speakers are not wireless, they are connected to a receiver by WIRES! The receiver does sync via Bluetooth to a primary system but the speakers have WIRES that must be used. The system overall doesn't add much to the overall sound quality and are very under powered.

    Underwhelming is an overstatement for this product. I understand that side speakers are not supposed to be in your face overbearing but these are hardly anything at all. Personally I wouldn’t purchase these again or recommend them to anybody

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung Wireless Rear Loud Speakers. I am sorry to hear that you did not experience the full potential of the surround sound system.

      Please know that 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 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. Choices are STANDARD, MUSIC, CLEAR VOICE, SPORTS, or MOVIE.
      3. Turn off Dynamic Range Control. This is done by pressing and holing the Sound Mode button while the Soundbar is in standby mode.
      4. Increase the volume level of the surround speakers using the Sound Control button on the Soundbar remote control.

      I hope these tips help to enhance your audio enjoyment.

      Should you need further assistance with this issue or other features, please contact Samsung Customer Support via any of the below options:
      1) Phone: 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars)

      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.
      a. For example, if you are connected to the Samsung Harman Kardon HW-Q70R, you would press the Sound Control button on the Q70R 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.

  • Pros mentioned:
    Easy setup, Sound quality

    Great Addition To Samsung Soundbar

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

    I was looking for a decent quality and sounding surround sound system with minimum of wires to go with my Samsung Smart TV. I researched several and decided on this Model: New! Samsung - 3.1-Channel Soundbar System with 7" Wireless Subwoofer - Black HW-M550/ZASKU: 5754514 setup due to quality of sound, minimum of wires and easy setup, the fact it was a just released new item and it was Samsung. The setup was simple, some tinkering to figure it out but very intuitive. I experimented with placement of the wireless sub woofer and in the end have great quality sound and deep base. You actually have separate control of volume of the sound bar and the sub woofer to achieve optimum levels to your preference. I then added the New! Samsung - Wireless Rear Loudspeakers (Pair) Model: SWA-8500S/ZASKU: 5754510 and voilà I had a great surround sound system with sound coming from every direction with a very clean "almost" wireless setup. Note: there are about 12' speaker wires running from the wireless rear remote receiver to the 2 rear speakers.
