Terrific Sound Enhancement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.once speakers finally paired with soundbar, new sound is so much better especially for us who are a bit hard of hearing given our age, 77 and 73. instructions that came with speaker are horrible, took first set back because couldn't get them to pair. accidentally found a site online that walked me through setting up the soundbar and rear speakers together.

No Regrets
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.HT-5000 paired with SW5 sub, rear SW3, and Bravia XBR75-Z9F. I was skeptical about this system due to the price but was pleasantly surprised. I couldn't justify the HT-7000 price for two more speakers and I'm happy with the HT-5000. Incredibly easy to set up. The range is excellent. The Atmos effect is incredibly pronounced. You must buy the entire system to have incredible sound. I connected the sound bar and subwoofer and thought I made a mistake with this purchase. It wasn't until I connected the rear speakers that the system came alive. Window rattling bass. Crystal clear dialogue. Music, movies, YT vids, even DTV sounds great. I have zero regrets. This is best setup besides a full component system.

Chose these over the more expensive RS5's
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Look nice with a much smaller footprint and design style that matches the HT7000a (metal mesh grill) unlike the RS5's (round w/ cloth front). These also held a better wireless connection and sounded great despite lacking the extra wattage and upfiring speakers. Didn't need the rechargeable battery and RS3's use regular power cords into the wall rather than the RS5's which have a substantially larger brick plug. Sound quality differences between the two were minimal despite many reviews out there saying the RS5's are substantially better...keep in mind that both really only output surround material in movies and shows occasionally, pretty useless for music and other use cases given limited EQ options on the Sony soundbars (no option of all channel stereo, for example).

Fabulous!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony Barvia 8 TV and Soundbar. The combination is really outstanding and have no complaints. But because of the great deal I got, I later added the rear speakers. WOW! These take the whole experience over the top! I feel like I'm sitting dead center at the theater. The sound is absolutely incredible!

Great Addition for 5.1 Sound!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased the Sony SA-RS3S Wireless Rear Speakers to complement my existing Sony HTA3000 soundbar, and they have made a noticeable difference. These speakers have added a whole new level of immersion to my audio experience. The wireless functionality of the SA-RS3S is a major plus. Setting them up was a breeze, and I no longer have to deal with messy cables running across the room. The wireless connection is reliable, and I haven't experienced any dropouts or interference. In terms of sound quality, the rear speakers add a sense of depth and spaciousness to movie soundtracks and gaming sessions. It feels like the sound is coming from all around me, creating a more immersive and cinematic experience. One thing to keep in mind is that these speakers truly shine when the program offers 5.1 sound. If you're watching a movie or playing a game that supports 5.1 surround sound, the SA-RS3S will elevate your audio experience to new heights. However, if the content is only in stereo or doesn't support surround sound, the impact of these rear speakers may be less significant. The build quality of the speakers is top-notch, as expected from Sony. They feel sturdy and well-designed, adding a touch of elegance to my entertainment setup. The sleek and minimalist design blends seamlessly with my existing speakers. Overall, if you're a 5.1 sound enthusiast looking to enhance your audio setup, the Sony SA-RS3S Wireless Rear Speakers are a worthy investment. They bring a fuller and more immersive sound experience, taking your movie nights and gaming sessions to the next level. Just pair them with content that offers 5.1 surround sound for the best results.

Wireless speaker add on for A7000 Soundbar
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These wireless add on rear speakers are 100 W each and pair effortlessly with the Sony A7000 soundbar. Adding these really improves the surround of this already Amazing soundbar. The speakers are standard looking but pack a punch. While they are optional I highly recommend them.
I would recommend this to a friend Ok for surround but not a great match w\soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.On the plus side they pair easily with the Sony HT-A 5000/7000 series sound bars. The issue comes in that they do not get loud enough and you have to do a lot of tweaking to really enjoy surround sound with them. Also they do not support Dolby Atmos. The real knock I have against them is that tonally they do not match the sound bar at all. The sound is much thinner and higher pitches which really detracts from the surround experience. On the other hand, their big brothers the SA-RS5's are a perfect match tonally and do have a bit better output plus they are Dolby Atmos capable. Whether the additional cost is worth it to anyone is a pretty individual thing though.

Sony SARS3 wireless rear speakers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Actually, I like the setup based on other reviews and the size of the units for a rear surround sound. I have limited ability to actually test the unit as I am waiting for my Sony HTA5000 (5.1.2) to be repaired from Sony as it failed to work on powering up. I am expecting that this unit should work well once I get it paired up with the RMA'd soundbar that has yet to come back to me from November 19, 2021 (now it is Dec. 31, 2021), I will be glad to generate a more detailed addendum when I have a chance to further test.

Essential accessory for HTA7000 soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Essential accessory for HTA7000 soundbar, if you want you can purchase just the soundbar & if you're not satisfied with the surround effects you can add these speakers later, they're wireless (although they do need to plug into AC outlets) & setup is very easy, keep in mind that Sony is releasing new model surround speakers (SARS5) in spring/summer 2022 that will enable 360 degree spatial sound, but they will cost about $250 more than these.
