    Stepping down from a Bose, I paired this with a Samsung 4500 curved bar that was an open box and the two have created quite the audio environment in my home. Extremely immersive, very impressive, and never needs to go too high to serve its purpose.

    These are fantastic speakers - very cost effective way to add surround sound to your compatible sound bar. Set up was easy, just follow the instructions. The speakers come on when the sound bar is turned on, and they turn off automatically when the sound bar is turned off. Over all - I like the quality.

    Added rear speakers for better surround sound. It does not bring voice sound out if music is playing but does give great surround sound effects.

    Sound quality is very good, wires are thin and easy to hide. Also very length on the wires which means you can run the speakers as far apart as you really would need to for any room. I haven’t tried wall mounting them yet but I plan to try that here soon.

    As in most surround rear speakesrs, you don't hear much during regular TV programming. It shines through on movies like Star Wars when the fighters are flying around.

    I purchased this with the Samsung - 3.1-Channel 340W Soundbar with 6.5" Wireless Subwoofer - Black, and I love the sound quality that it has. Admittedly I think that a full surround sound would have been a better option, but for the price it's not a bad substitute. The only complaint that I have is that it's a little tricky to set-up and it took a few attempts before it actually worked. Also, I am not a patient individual, so I'm pretty sure had I not been frustrated with it, it wouldn't have been as hard.

    These speakers were a lot smaller than I expected. However, they do add some similarity to surround sound. They could be a little louder. But overall a good for the price.

    These speakers are an excellent addition to the sound bar and subwoofer. The sounds from these little speakers keep me wondering if the show sounds such as sirens and dog barks are coming from outside the house. They’re definitely worth the price if you want lifelike surround sound.

    Ok maybe I am not up to date on all the technology but the title and photos are make it appear like these are "Wireless Rear Speakers". In fact there is only no wire from the front unit to the rear unit but there are wires necessary from the rear unit to each speaker. This makes it impossible to use the rear speakers in certain living room configurations like mine where I would have to stretch wires across the living room to reach the other side . Also although the sound is good, I am extremely disappointed that all these manufacturers make operating the system do darn difficult. I have a Samsung TV, yet the supplied remote is so cheap and so ineffective that I have to use 3 different remotes to make it work in unison with my Apple TV. Why can't manufacturers get together and make one remote EASILY programmable? The design all the products in a vacuum with little regard for how real users operate their TV and sound systems. The supplied remote is such a bad design, it is was stuck closed and I could not open it t install a battery. YOUTUBE has many others with the same problem. Finally I had to have them ship me a new remote yet I can not get it to work easily with TV and sound system.

      joebob:

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung SWA-8500S Wireless Rear Speaker Kit. Thank you for sharing your experience with the operating system and remote. I am very sorry for any confusion about the wireless description.

      Often times, customers have trouble hiding and running speaker wires from the front of the room (where their soundbar is) to the back of their room (where they have their rear speakers). The Rear Speaker Kit eliminates that hassle. Connect the rear speakers to its wireless module and place these three in the back of your room. One wire is required to connect each rear speaker to the wireless module. Then plug in the power cable to the module. The “wireless” convenience is in connecting your soundbar and any other speakers at the front of the room to the rear speakers – this can now be done via Wi-Fi through the wireless module, eliminating any clutter of long wires running the length of your room.

      If you need further assistance or have questions, please feel free to reach Samsung Support.

    This is a great speaker addition for the Samsung sound bar. Very easy to hook up & works great. Have had for 2 months no issues. The speakers are small & easy to hang on wall or set on shelf. I recommend going into the settings & turning the rear speakers up some from the factory setting to get more rear sound.

    I was leery these would make any difference to the sound of my existing system but got at a good price so decided to try. Wow! Really added a lot of depth to sound Some have rated lower as they didn’t get loud sound out of. You’re not supposed to they’re rear speakers. They add enough to give depth. I would recommend.

    It's a must have add-on for the Q70 soundbar.

    I love the added rear channel speakers for the Q70 soundbar. Keep in mind that the content your feeding to the system dictates how much the rear channels are used. That being said you can adjust the volume on the rear channel through the soundbar remote if needed. They really add a better full and rounded out surround effect. Don't get me wrong, I could live without them because the Q70 soundbar is fantastic stand alone, but I wouldn't want to. For the money you can't go wrong with these. I ended up getting a defective control head the first time around and replaced it with an open box deal saving an additional 20.00 bucks. They work great with no issues and they always automatically come on and are paired with your bar after the first initial install. Good setup if you don't mind having to use wires from the head to the speakers. The wireless claim is for the soundbar and the head controller to be wireless so you can locate the wireless head controller wherever you like.

    Look, if you buy $129 speakers expecting $1000 sound quality, you’ll be disappointed. These don’t produce the same sound quality the sound bar does, they just help amplify the mix and high ends around you. So do they add a nice touch during new movies or tv shows? Yes! They honestly do their job, they create a better experience, and the quality is what I would expect for the price. All bought with rewards for me.
