    Connected it to my friend's sound bar and it sounded great, you can hear a difference. The settings to get actual surround sound could have been easier.

    Bought these to pair with my Samsung sound bar and they did not let me down. Only issue is you still have to run speaker wires from one wireless module so they aren't completely wireless.

    These rear LOUD speakers are exactly what you need to complete your Samsung Sound bar and subwoofer set up. Im glad that i purchased these, I think only sound affects come out and some background voices but other than that I love these speakers. I also bought some speaker stands to complete my set up and I'm very happy.

    The sound is terrific with my Samsung Q8 Tv - The Soundbar has 5 speakers I believe and I have the sub woofer paired with 2 three inch speakers that are Samsung. The sound is great, during the NBA Finals I felt I was part of the arena crowd. R/ Joe G from Clinton Maryland

    They paired to my soundbar very easily after I had to look up online how to do so and they sound good in Dolby digital format but barely audible in standard pcm. All in all good speakers.

    I read many things about these rear speakers to see if they were compatible with my sound bar. Could not find anything saying they were. So I cautiously bought them. To my surprise they connected wirelessly with a push of the button. They do not have alot of volume, just enough to complete the system. I would recommend them

    This was a Christmas gift for my adult son, and he has it working great. Many reviewers comment that the speakers are not loud. That just doesn't seem the case -- once you take the time to dig into sound bar settings. He demonstrated some music tracks and the rear volume, set near 0, was very loud indeed. I had even warned him of the number of negative reviews, but it's sounding great. On the down side, the speaker wires provided are very thin. Not even sure of the gauge, 20 maybe, but we need to extend at least one of the lines for crossing the room. I'll know better once I see some matching wiring in a store. But, so far, pleased with the purchase other than, of course, that these really aren't wireless speakers -- no matter how Samsung tries to spin it. So on that point, buyer beware.

    Ez Setup- not really wireless...

    These speakers sound great and get the job done. They are definitely not wireless though and that was disappointing. They have to be connected to a base station with wires and while its great to be able to get them away from the main unit the fact that wires are still in play really limits the ability to customize where the speakers are placed. I was expecting a bluetooth capable speaker system that was totally wire free and that is not the case. I was also surprised that the speakers don't come with any kind of mounting brackets or a way to set them up on a wall.

    These rear speakers are decent, but the volume is often a little quiet. Overall I would recommend them, but I wish there was a better option out there.

    The volume on these rear speakers is unfortunately too low as sold. They are nice for the price, but disappointing output.

      MEFro:

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung SWA-8500S Wireless Rear Loud Speakers. I am sorry to hear that you are finding the volume on these rear speakers to be too low.

      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.

    The rear speakers are effective and do help with the ultimate end game to increase the sound around our room, but they could be enabled with some control to increase volume of the sound output.

    For the price, these sound pretty good. A surprising amount of sound from such small speakers (remember to adjust levels to speakers from TV menu). Bluetooth pairing was simple. Keep in mind that there ARE wires from the rear bluetooth receiver to the rear speakers. The wires are only 12 feet long or so. I needed longer on one side, so just spliced somoe speaker wire in.
