An Awesome Companion Piece
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These little guys are the big brother to the RS3s. I opted to upgrade because I was replacing my 7.2 wired system with something a bit more accommodating to a clean look. I was skeptical about the wireless bit, but they pair very quickly and easily with the sound bar and add a depth of sound to the ambiance I did not expect. I don't think I could listen without them now. If you're looking at these, don't think twice. They are definitely worth the upgrade. If you're still doubting it, just give a listen in the store. You'll be sold.

Great sound, quirky setup
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once these speakers got setup they sounded grest, getting them to sync with the Soundbar (A7000) was not as much fun. Constant error messages took me sbout 45 minuted longer then would have liked, but once i for the soundbar to recognize the rear L and R speaker, it was all good. Would recommend dialing in the sound levels manually to get the greatest effect. Also, if you move the soeaker, then plan on recalibrating them every time you woulk out thr popcorn and settle in for movie night.

Expensive but very happy with the quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first surround speakers I have ever purchased. I paired it with the 5000 soundbar, sw5 subwoofer and all connected to the 75” x95 tv. I have been very satisfied with the ease of setup, sound quality and overall looks. I have not figured out how to link these to turn on/off through the system yet. I tried the setting and was unsuccessful, so i guess i will have to pop open the manual one day to figure it out. I gor these while on sale, still expensive, but very happy customer.

Very good surround sound speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They pair up with my Sony AN-1000 receiver perfectly. I am a bit surprised at how good they sound. I am not an audiophile, but these sound so much better than the wired Sony SSCS5 speakers that I was using. (surround effects only) have not really checked out music yet. I think they are about $100 too expensive!

Love Sony
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. Loud when need but subtle and balanced. Littles disappointed with some height effects. Only issue is I have is with design. Button to connect if speakers lose WIFI connection is on the bottom. Difficult to reach, should be on top.
I would recommend this to a friend Great match for Sony Soundbars.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best rear speakers to pair with your Sony soundbars like HT-A5000, HT-A7000 & HT-A9000. I have them with HT-A7000 & HT-A9000 with SW5 subwoofers especially connected to Sony Bravia XR80 M2 & A95L.

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, Shoaib!
It is wonderful to hear that the SA-RS5 speakers are completing your home theater experience! You’ve truly built a flagship Sony ecosystem by pairing them with the HT-A7000, HT-A9000, and the SA-SW5 subwoofers.
The synergy between those speakers and your Bravia XR80 M2 and A95L is exactly what we aim for—total immersion through 360 Spatial Sound Mapping. It’s great to see a pro-level setup like yours in action!
Thank you for being such a loyal Sony enthusiast!

must have for sound bar 8, bar9
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the speaker really adds oomph to the sound bar. I picked up a bar 9 and it is absolutely a joy to use. However I do feel like the sa-rs3 has more sound depth than the rs5's. Not sure if its because rs5 has atmos up firing speaker or what. I love it
