Not really wireless
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the surround kit thinking they were actually wireless but turns out they weren’t really true wireless. The sound is ok, not the best but there’s not much choices for the Samsung soundbar and subs.

Thank you for purchasing the Samsung SWA-9000S Wireless Rear Speaker Kit. I am very sorry for any confusion about the wireless description.
Most consumers 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 SWA-8500S Kit eliminates that hassle. Connect the SWA-8500S 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.

Great, when it works
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's still early, and I'm continuing to figure it out, but it loses its connection constantly. Reconnecting is a pain, but once it's connected it works great.

Thank you for purchasing the Samsung Wireless Rear Loud Speakers. I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing connection issues.
As for the random disconnection between Soundbar and subwoofer, placement of the devices is often an important factor. Please try to bring the units closer together, and move large items that are in between the line of sight of each other.

Not compatible with HW-Q70R/ZA soundbar?
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased rear speakers since the sales person in the store told me there were compatible with the HW-Q70R/ZA soundbar. This model has a wireless dongle that is USB-C. There is no USB-C connection on the HW-Q70R/ZA soundbar. So I tried the Best Buy total tech support. There recommendation? Go to the store for help. Why do I need to see someone in the store when someone in the store said these would work? That's a waste of time and gas. I was able to "connect" these rear speakers to the sound bar using via ID SET and the link light is solid blue. I do hear feedback from the rear speakers but not audible coherent sound that sounds like the content that I am watching on the TV. Not sure if the are truly compatible or not so I contacted Samsung Pro support. Here's where things really get stranger if that is possible. Samsung support said I need the 8500S model and that there is no difference between the 8500S and 9000S except compatibility. Hmm $50 more, wireless dongle in box but there is not difference? I am not sure if I want to go back and try out the 8500S model to try to figure out who knows what the heck is going on with the rear speakers Samsung has manufactured. So hence the 1 star because I am not sure if the product works or not due to the overwhelming "I don't really know" type of support I have received from Best Buy and Samsung. Confusing purchase. Confusing sales help from Best Buy. Confusing support from Best Buy total tech. Confusing support from Samsung. Not sure who to believe and I do not feel like running around town exchanging products trying to figure out what works and does not work.

Decent Surround Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a bad surround sound system to supplement a soundbar, but not great either. A lot of the time there is barely any sound coming from them and even when there is, it does not add greatly to the sound experience.

Posted .jessler,
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.
As for the random disconnection between Soundbar and subwoofer, placement of the devices is often an important factor. Please try to bring the units closer together, and move large items that are in between the line of sight of each other.
I hope these tips help to solve your issues. For further assistance, please contact our Customer Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG and a representative will gladly help you.

This item...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review..... is not compatible with the 5.1 series 650 Samsung sound bar as previously reviewed here. I purchased this unit for this sound bar and returned it for the compatible unit... seems the device which plugs into the sound bar to wirelessly transmit its signal won’t fit. One star is only used to show its incompatibility with the 5.1 model # 650 sound bar...
