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).

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback, BrittanyC.
We are delighted to hear that when your SA-RS3S wireless rear speakers connect successfully, the sound quality is incredible and elevates your home theater experience!
We are sorry, however, to hear that you are experiencing occasional difficulty with the connection. A strong, consistent wireless link is essential for seamless surround sound, and we would like to help you troubleshoot this. Intermittent connection can sometimes be related to the placement of the soundbar/speakers or potential interference.
We also regret to hear about the cosmetic denting, and we understand how frustrating it is when a new product shows wear easily. We take your feedback on the durability of the housing seriously for future product improvements.
To resolve the connection issue, please reach out to our dedicated support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht
so a specialist can guide you through optimizing your setup.
Thank you for choosing Sony.

Solid Wireless Rear Speakers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plugged ‘em in and they automatically paired with my Sony receiver—easy to use. They sound great and much cheaper than the more expensive version that uses a rechareable battery. Don’t really understand the rechareable version—too expensive, heavy and you still have to plug them in regularily to recharge them. Get these instead!

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.

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.

A must-have for the Sony HT-A7000 Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great little surround speakers that are a must-have for the Sony HT-A7000 soundbar set! If there is any room for improvement I would say Sony should have included upward-firing drivers in there to help with the spatial sound on the backside - but honestly they have a very clear sound and still make a huge impact on the surround experience. Very easy to use - just plug them in and they will automatically pair up with your new Sony flagship sound system.

Sony rear Bluetooth ac powered speaker
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pairs perfectly with sound bar. These arent battery powered, they have to be pkugged into an outlet. Not a problem for us, as we knew this and had plugs at the back of our home theater near the ceilings that works perfectly. If you need total wireless, they do have a rechargeable model that pairs with the sound bar.
