Rear Speakers for HT-A7000 Soundbar

I added the rear speakers and subwoofer to the HT-A7000 soundbar. It made a significant difference. We already owned the Sony XR85X95J television and enjoy the entire system. One remote controls everything and the rear speakers and subwoofer are wireless. Just turn on the TV with the TV remote and control everything.

We had recently purchased a Sony Bravia y along with a Bravia 8 soundbar and Sony 200w subwoofer. We kind of missed having the rear speakers so we used our rewards to purchase these. They are working great, and we are really enjoying the surround sound

I am not 100% percent sure that these rear speakers add a lot to the soundbar (Bravia theater 8), but I bought them open box and so good value and I does had a little bit of volume.
The setting was interesting - the speakers need to be in view of the bar - I have them on the floor on the side of the couch - so if I loose connection I need to put them on the couch for the setup duration.

Hi LovemyTV, Thank you for taking the time to write such an in-depth review of your experience with your SA-RS3S wireless rear speakers. We're glad that you find it easy to use. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Please note that 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. To ensure that you are getting the most out of your HT-A8000 soundbar, make sure to run Sound Field Optimization on the app so that the soundbar can calibrate its performance to your environment, and that it sounds like it was engineered to be in your room. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

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.

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

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
