Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really brings the sound bar up to speed a must have
I would recommend this to a friend Glad I decided on this
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We weren't going to get these, because we had already spent so much on the Samsung TV and sound bar, but I'm really glad we did. What a perfect way to get a perfectly paired home theater system. We had an older Samsung system with our old Samsung TV and knew it was likely we'd be happy with the new, and we were right.

Goo speakers for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers do a fine job for the price of $99. They won't be a theater like addition to your sound bar, but they do add a quality surround sound experience. Be sure to change the settings on your speaker bar so that the rear speaker volume is at your desired level.

Good not great speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to pair with my Samsung sound bar. The Bluetooth immediately recognized my sound bar and hookup was pretty easy. I would recommend this set of speakers to my friends and family.I ended up running the speakers through an amplifier to maximize the sound and they sound great now.

Cheap Surround Solution
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you've already got a compatible Samsung Soundbar, these do a good job of adding an additional layer of sound at a reasonable price. I would have liked them to be a little louder so the effect is more distinguishable, but even after turning their volume up on the Soundbar, they're a little quieter than I'd prefer. Setup and overall quality is good though.

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.

Nice add on

Good but not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros. Extremely easy to setup. All you need is to click the sync on the base and sync on the controller and done. Cons. These speaker are a little small. Not loud enough. Wall mount is sold separate. Unless you want to keep them straight (for surround system you need them angled)
