    Great addition to the A5000 soundbar. I enjoy movies in Atmos or DTS, not every movie uses the full potential but overall a great addition. The built in batteires are super, and i love how if you have the speakers plugged in they power on and off automatically when the main soundbar turn on or off.

    Worth every penny!! Hated the idea of wires showing for a sound system and this solves all the issues. You can either plug them in and leave them or charge them up for several hours of use with not a single wire!

    These are the perfect balance for the best soundbar experince! I was actually blown away of how much these in addition to this soundbar can really FILL the room with sound! And the slight accent sounds from these speakers are just the right blend

    The price may be a little higher than other rear speakers, but when paired with the HT A5000 or A7000 the sound system is outstanding. You’ll be finding yourself pausing constantly to see if it’s the movie or real life.

    I was on the fence with buying these but they add another layer to my TV/Movie watching experience. Paired with the soundbar and sub, you feel fully immersed in the media you're watching. They can be on the lighter side but we have these set up pretty close to where we sit.

    These speakers really accomplish the Sony HT-a7000 Dolby Atmos effects. They have a clean sound and the design is fantastic. Any Atmos effects that include rain or scenes shot under water are very impressive. I keep mine plugged in so I can't weigh in on battery life.,

     Added a great deal of immersion to the Sony a7000 atmos soundbar. I didn’t love the large wall wart style plug for each though.  In the end I felt that these combined with the Sony a7000 and SW5 sub are a good choice, but outshined by the Samsung q990b for significantly less money.

    A Pointless Battery and Overall Mediocre Product

    I'm not sure why these cost $600, but they certainly aren't $600 speakers. To start, when paired with an A7000, at max volume, they barely create any volume. Like the A7000, the complete lack of user-facing control over sound and sound quality is a shame. Having a battery on these that lasts 6-10 hours is the most pointless design flaw I've ever seen. These are stationary bookshelf speakers intended to be used in the home. Why in the world did somebody think adding a battery that needs to be plugged in and recharged every three days was a good idea? Seems like a half-baked way to make the price go up. You can always leave them plugged in all the time, which I do, but because the battery loses a little bit of juice every time the speakers get powered off, you have to deal with the lights blinking for the first 15-30 minutes the speakers are on. I'm not sure whose bright idea it was to add a battery to a non-portable device, but it makes the whole thing more cumbersome than it needs to be and doesn't add anything to the standard, intended use of this product. Between the lacking volume and the nonsensical design of the product, these are not $600 speakers. I can't speak to the cheaper RS3's, but I'd wager the actual volume and sound quality between the RS3's and RS5's are identical. Weak effort from Sony, especially given the otherworldly sound quality of the A7000. Hard to fathom these came from the same product line and the same manufacturers.

    If you are looking to be able to move your speakers to areas without a plug, these are it. Excellent sound quality.
