Firstly, I will stare that I am using a Sony AH-5000 soundbar with the lower tier subwoofer designed for it. Until I got the rear speakers I was not getting the full surround sound experience. Now I am and I’ll never go back. The speakers are subtle. They don’t repeat the full audio like some surround systems do. Only certain affects or instruments come through. Which is odd at first, but awesome once you get used to. It takes video games to the next level. Because the speakers aren’t overly active sometimes you forget they’re there, then BOOM, grenade blows up behind you and leap up into the air. These are a must have if you’ve already invested in such a quality sound bar.

These are really good speakers. Don't feel like you HAVE to buy the RS5, but if it is in the budget, get the RS5. You'll thank me later. If the A7000 soundbar was only $300 more expensive than the A5000, I definitely would be rocking these speakers and the A7000. These rear speakers for me is a must. It just gives a much better listening experience. I definitely knew I was sticking with either these or the RS5 once I hooked up the RS3.

Hello GeeMoney,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We apologize that the volume level of the SARS3S did not align with your expectations and that the sound can be unexpectedly subtle. To help enhance your experience, please consider the following steps:

Sony Receiver Needed - Compatibility issue resolve

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I think these speakers could be amazing however, Idk because I am unable to play them. Apparently they are incompatible with my Sony soundbar that I purchased a little over a year ago from BB under the impression that it was the best Sony soundbar at the 1400.00 price point. I pulled up the model number from my best buy app and showed this to the salesman as I inquired about the speakers and he confirmed the compatibility and reassured me that the 3.1 designation on my unit meant that I could use the soundbar and these 2 speakers as the 3 and the subwoofer utilizes the .1 designation. Of course this is a little frustrating but ultimately its a shame on me for spontaneously purchasing these without doing my homework. Sure I can return them and get my money back but now i am so curious to hear them and have them integrated into my system that I am looking to get the 7.1.2 Receiver that Sony makes because I do not want to be in another situation any time soon that doesn't allow me to connect speakers at will.

Added to Sony HT-A5000 with SA-SW3 and Bravia A80J. Even at max, effect very subtle. If you can place very close to where you’re watching it’s great sounding. Ours are placed more to the back of room where they lose some punch. If you buy, find a sale as would definitely not be value at full price. Got mine open box saved >$100. Paired easily nice quality materials, small and unobtrusive.

Hi TBBR,
Thank you for telling us about your experience with your SA-RS3S Sony rear speakers. We're sorry to know if you feel the surround effect cannot be obtained. 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. For this, you may refer to the guidelines below:
• Depending on the combination of the setting of SOUND FIELD and input signal, surround sound processing may not work effectively. The surround effect may be subtle, depending on the program or disc. • To play multi-channel audio, check the digital audio output setting on the device connected to the speaker system. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the connected device.
Should you need more information or technical assistance with your product, please feel free to contact us and we'll be more than happy to assist you. You may send us an email at [email protected] with the following:
