    Connected easy to soundbar and haven't had any issues with signal dropping. I do wish that they produced more sound, it's pretty minimal unless you're watching something with Dolby Atmos. Currently have these hooked up in a smaller areas of the basement and they work fine in the space. If you're looking to be blown away by the audio look elsewhere.

      Hi Franks,

      Thank you for telling us about your experience with your SA-RS3S Sony rear speakers. We're happy that you like the easy pairing with your soundbar. We appreciate your feedback regarding the surround effect. 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.

      You can also set the speaker distance from your listening position and their output level, etc. to obtain the best possible surround sound.
      For more on "Speaker Settings", refer to this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/a5000/v1/en/contents/TP1000381248.html

    I kept thinking my room wasn't big enough to get rear speakers for my theater. After I saw the great price drop, I went through with the purchase. I am so glad I did. They make the theater experience so much more real. They make the Star Trek movies so much more exhilarating to watch.

    These are 100% worth the money! If you’re just looking for a surround sound system for your tv and don’t want to deal with wires or a wireless box like on Samsung and LG then these are the ones to buy! Paired with my hta5000, sw3 and 65A80J I have my own movie theater! Definitely worth saving the money for these over Sonos and Bose. I was a ale to hear a live movie and song demo in store with these and just wow!

    Way too powerless. Does have separate volume control but not enough of an addition to make difference when watching anything other than movies. Still nice size - disappears. Set-up very easy with sub and does create spacial volume to room.

      Hi MitchO,

      Thank you for telling us about your experience with your SA-RS3S Sony rear speakers. We're sorry to know if you feel the volume level from the rear speaker doesn't get very loud. We value your feedback regarding the volume output of the unit. Follow the steps from the link below to troubleshoot this issue.

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/sound-bars-home-theater-systems-sound-bars-surround-speakers/sa-rs3s/articles/00274538

      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.

      If no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard from the optional speaker, you may also find this link helpful: https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/a3000/v1/en/contents/TP1000525542.html

      Despite your concerns, we're truly glad that you like the surround sound experience and quick and easy setup with your SA-RS3S. If there is something that we can help you regarding your concern, we are more than happy to help you out. You can email us at [email protected] with the following details:

      Hi Markiniis,
      Thank you for your time writing this review. We're glad to hear that you like the SA-RS3S speaker. We appreciate your input with regard the sound of the unit. This speaker are designed to compliment a compatible Sony soundbar by adding rear surround channels, not to boost the overall volume but to provide a more immersive home theater experience by filling out the soundstage from behind the listeners.

    The rear surrounds worked well. No disconnects or compatibility issues over the past 2 weeks. I put the speakers on Sanus stands (EFSATB) and worked well other than the power cable being outside of the stand or replacing the plug to fish the power through the stand. Looking forward to the imminent Sony Atmos rear surrounds but these met my immediate needs to expand the Sony HT-A series soundbar with surrounds.
