    Excellent well built speakers, good weight. Creates good surround sound from the Sony soundbars. It was built for easy connection to the soundbars. Sony sound calibrations was very easy, soundbar also allows manual equalizer controls on the surround sound speakers.

      Hi CWalker,

      Thank you for telling us about your experience with your SA-RS3S Sony rear speakers. It's wonderful to hear you are enjoying the incredible surround sound of these rear speakers. To ensure sound is being output from both the speaker system and the optional rear speakers, press the IMMERSIVE AE to turn on the Immersive Audio Enhancement function, the speaker system upmixes audio signals, and sound is output from all speakers.

      Note: The Rear speaker plays surround sound as part of the multi-channel sound or processed from the 2-channel sound. However, because of the characteristics of the rear speaker, the sound may be low depending on the playback source.

      These rear speakers automatically connect to your HT-A7000, HT-A5000, or HT-A3000 soundbar right out of the box, bringing crystal-clear, room-filling sound into any home theater environment. Thank you for your purchase and for the 5-star rating! -Jess Sony_US

    Difficult to setup. Glad I got Geek Squad's help. It required software update. I could not figure out how to activate it. Works great now although I'm having difficulty figuring out how to adjust speaker sound, i.e. make base more pronounced.

    Wireless add-on to Sony HTA3000 3.1CH

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Once linked/synced to my Sony HTA3000 3.1CH Dolby Atmos Sound Bar, they work great. Had I understood that these speakers do not put out sound during all times (being geared for surround content and content looking to use such rear speakers), I might not have wanted to pay so much for speakers that (seemingly) are hardly heard from. For this reason alone, I feel that the cost is too high. I have enjoyed when these speakers output sound and allowed too much time to pass to return them. Certainly, it is very easy to link/sync these speakers with the sound bar. No one should fear linking them; unless using mixed products.

    I needed a little more more sound quality from my Sony a95l qd pled The new Bravia soundbar 9 works seamlessly using the screw of the tv as a center channel but you need rear speakers I got this model instead of the more expensive 5 series rear speakers and they sound great Great product
