    So, I have the soundbar Ht-A5000 and the subwoofer. I though i needed these but after setting them up, I noticed that not all movies play loud enough on these speakers. Some movies do play loudly enough while other movies are wisper quite with the volume level at max. But i have decided to keep them as because it could be the format that the movies were recorded in and i just got to find the right settings.

    If you get any surrounds for your Sony soundbar, these are it! Great sound and great effects…but the celings in your room cant be too high. Anything over 10ft and they struggle with the effects.

      Hi AdamP,

      We appreciate your feedback and are glad you find the sound quality of the SA-RS5 Wireless Rear Speakers to be great. We understand your concern about the price point. These speakers are designed to deliver a premium, fully immersive experience by incorporating features like built-in battery power (allowing for flexible placement without wires), up-firing drivers for 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, and Dual Microphone Calibration to perfectly match your compatible Sony soundbar/system. We believe these specialized features enhance the home cinema experience and justify their value.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards, Eliab sony-global

    Nothing significantly positive or negative to say. They haven't stood out and are barely heard from but maybe this was the intend. Definately pricey.

    Sony Dropped the Ball on These SR5's

    Sony really dropped the ball on this one. You can barely here anything coming out of these speakers when watching a 4k movie with atmos, even on a disc player. They feel very hefty and and good quality, and they seem like they have the potential to put out some good sound but totally not worth the $600 asking price. I wouldn't waste any amount of money on a speaker that doesn't produce sound. Sony nneds to come out with a version 2.0 of this speaker so we can enjoy the full effect. I tried them for a week and returned them for a refund.

    The speakers themselves are wonderful with great sound quality. I wish the charging cords were a little bit longer and I also wish you didn’t have to power them on each time you use them
