Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the sound quality of the wireless rear speakers, often forgetting they are there and mistaking sounds for real-life occurrences. The easy plug-and-play setup is also appreciated. However, some customers have concerns about the volume not being loud enough and compatibility issues with certain center speakers.

    I bought this cuse it completed my sound bar, they are fabulous the sound and details of the sounds in the movies, its wireless but you need to connect wires from the speakers to te Wi-Fi modem, then you can put it in the back of your room, it's just outstanding, I recommend this speakers if you want a 100 % sound round, and enjoy your movies, games or simple watch tv.

    Was not sure before buying and also did not wanted to go a full separate setup as I already owned Samsung ms-650 soundbar. Gave this a try, got connected to my sound bar instantly no issues at all. Sound is really good, ran some test tracks from Dolby and dts, and no problem at all. Good sweet surround. Have heard lot of reviews online talking about speaker loudness and all but seems everything is fixed now. Great compact surround for my soundbar. Attached is a pic of same on monoprice stands.

    Picked up a Samsung Soundbar N650 and discovered that you can enhance it using these wireless rear speakers. For the price why not! Very easy to set up and complements my current set up. Sounds great not really much more to say.

    I added/paired these speakers with Samsung Soundbar HW N850 and watched Get Out and Jurassic World. I had a very good experience but let me give you heads up on some things. This comes with wireless dongle to put on your Soundbar. I had no need of it since I had recently purchased this high end Soundbar. The connection was easy. Now there is no volume on rear speakers it self so on Soundbar you will have changed settings to rear and put these on +6 to hear the best. There is speaker wires going to each speaker. When attaching wire don’t put them in all the way each speaker because the plastic on wire will cause no sound. Watching Jurassic World in DTS X sounded great. I heard the rear speakers and decently complented my sound bar. They are no where as good as Harmon Kardon rear speakers that come HWN950 but for 100.00 they will do. Samsung drop the ball not offering rear speakers to match hopefully they will sell them down the road.

    Good Quality Rear Speakers

    First, let me say that I bought them on sale for $99, and then there was a further discount for buying them as a bundle at the same time as a soundbar, bringing the final price down to around $50. At that price they're an absolute steal. At $99 I'd definitely still buy them. At $179 I'd probably pass. The biggest knock is that they aren't loud enough. First, you can adjust the volume, though unfortunately that's not covered in the provided documentation. You need to use the soundbar remote, pressing on the gear button until 'rear' displays and then pressing up/down to change the volume. If you're hoping to have them replicate most sound including that intended to come from the front, then you'll likely be disappointed. But they do a good job at what they are supposed to do -- providing sound that is supposed to come from behind you and helping surround you with sound. (Perhaps Samsung should refer to them as surround speakers rather than loudspeakers.) I have them in the rear of my living room, about 30 feet from the soundbar at the front of the room. The initial pairing was easy, and they connect almost instantly as soon as the soundbar powers on. A number of other reviewers have commented that the speakers aren't truly wireless since they are wired to a common receiving unit. All things considered I like the design though it adds an extra box. I put the receiver behind a piece of furniture and the speakers on two adjoining tables. Unless someone is really looking carefully they'd likely miss the very thin speaker wires. The alternative would require that each speaker be independently powered, requiring a power cord that would be far thicker and obvious (and would also require that each speaker be located near an electrical outlet.)

    The speakers are pretty good. They really help the Q-80R with not only a feeling of surround but they also balance the whole system out. I hear people complaining about volume and things so I have a few pointers. These speakers truly shine when you are watching say a 4k blu ray disc and you are getting Dolby Atmos or DTS-X. They have plenty of volume and punch and they sound really good and my system really surrounds you with them as opposed to without. With streaming content they with say a normal 5,1 sound they are good. With regular cable TV they aren't very loud and they just enhance a bit. They are actually louder during commercials as commercials use better sound than your average cable company. Also I hear people having trouble with hooking up the wires to the speakers. Don't jam the wires all the way into the hole. Just put them in far enough so that the exposed portion of the wire gets grabbed by the clip. About half way. Then you will get a solid connection and proper sound.But yeah for $150 on sale these things are totally worth it. Get them.

    I have the HW-MS650 soundbar and also the SWA-W700 wireless sub-woofer to go along with these rear speakers.I was reluctant at first to go with wireless rear speakers due to hearing complaints of signal delays from them. I do NOT notice that from these. I am really amazed by the surround sound signal separation. Really nice sound from such a tiny speaker.

    This was a great addition to our fathers home theater setup. The sound quality is amazing. The only reason I give it a 4 stars is because it isn’t really a “wireless” system. Granted I hadn’t done my research and it was one of the few times that the Best Buy employee wasn’t completely accurate. The system can be placed anywhere there is an outlet and then you have about 10-12 feet of wire you have to run to the speaker from the wireless box. I will give that with an all Samsung product setup, all we had to do was plug it in and turn it on and it was ready to roll without any other steps. Very easy to install, but not truly wireless...

    The system was very easy to connect to the soundbar and set up. The instructions got this right. The sound is just ok. It is a little flat, but does pop up nicely when there is background sound or music in a scene. Voices mostly stay in front and don't come through the rear speakers. What the instructions do not discuss at all is that the default volume setting is -1 (very faint, but audible if you put your ear next to it. I didn't have the wire connection issues discussed elsewhere). I ultimately figured out that by cycling through the settings (gear button on remote) there are two rear speaker options that pop up after you get through the ID set. The first is Rear Speaker On/Off. The second is Rear Speaker Level. Level is where you can increase the rear speaker volume independently of the soundbar/tv up to +6. This isn't discussed at all by Samsung. Helpful youtube videos on the subject.

      BenS:

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung SWA-9000S Wireless Rear Loudspeakers and for sharing your user experience. I am sorry that you had some initial usage difficulties with volume adjustment.

      The default volume level is 0. If the first button you press after selecting Surround Speaker Level is the volume down button, it will display -1.

      Please know that the SWA-9000S is an accessory that is controlled by the Soundbar. Therefore, the instructions for adjusting the Surround Speaker Level are mentioned in the Soundbar’s User Manual. So for example, if you were using the Samsung HW-Q80R Soundbar, you would select the gear button on the soundbar remote, which would then give you choices for Treble, Bass, Sync, Center Level, Side Level, Front Top Level, Rear Level, and Virtual On/Off.

    I have the Samsung HW-MS750/ZA sound bar and the wireless subwoofer. Those two are a must have, but these speakers may be the icing on the cake. They provide very good sound out put at high volume levels. Not so much when listening to a TV show, but hopefully thats not what you bought your expensive sound bar for. They are easy to pair, and give you ample cable wire to run between speakers and hub. They are wireless, but the HUB needs to be plugged into a wall outlet. Overall, very solid speaker. If you are looking at having that rich and full sounding surround sound, these are a must have!

    I bought these open box to go along with the 750 soundbar and 700 sub. As small as they are they offer pretty good sound, I do have them turned up to +5. You do hear them playing CDs and wireless music but most noticeably sound effects during BR movies are pretty good and give the surround sound effects.

    I was able to get these speakers to work with my sound bar, but it did give me some issues. The instructions are terrible because if you already have wireless capability on your sound bar you will need the instructions for that sound bar. Also this will not work with all sound bars it must be compatible you can just google it and see if yours will work. The sound quality is good, but it doesn’t seem to be setup to supplement the sound bar more than envy thing. I was hoping for more volume as I sit about 20 feet from the sound bar and didn’t want to crank the volume too high.

    Works well, once you do the research of how to set everything up the right way. It brings a USB transmitter piece that you must plug into your Soundbar. If the content being played is 5.1 surround sound or better these speakers work their magic. I see the complaints about it not being loud, but seriously it's not supposed to be loud , unless you're playing something in 5.1 surround sound that's when you will truly see it work to it's full potential. Below 5.1 it will work like watching family feud i can hear the audience clapping in the back a bit more. This brings a wireless receiver where you attach the 2 speakers. And you plug the receiver to the wall. The cables are long enough for me. These speakers are also meant to be at your ear level. I watched beyond skyline on Netflix I felt and heard the Jets pass from one side to another and anything that was meant for behind the person, like something or someone walking behind them. Again this movie is in 5.1 surround sound. Another factor is make sure that your Soundbar supports dolby digital . I'm using the Samsung MS650 and it handles everything just fine. This is a great addition to movie or TV show fans . Lastly it's really good for gamers especially for shooters you hear the footsteps behind you for most shooters.
