    They Performed as advertised but could be louder. To hear it, boost the main volume and have the speakers no more than 2 to 3 feet from you in the rear will help.

    when connected to 5g wifi, they cut out often; changed to the 2.4g and no issues since. the top speakers are not that noticeable, unless the volume is at high levels.

    I was super excited I should not have had my expectations very high. I’m very let down from the product cutting in and out very scattered, when it actually worked It sounded amazing. The problem is when you’re watching a movie and it cuts in and out at very annoying when you’re trying to focus and enjoy what you’re watching for the price should’ve been a lot better. I don’t know if there’s needs to be a patch, a new software or some type of update. I realize at the end of the day hard wiring is the best thing to do, so for now we have the sound bar with a subwoofer. Are there a 7000 and that is great it’s still as well disconnect to connect from the subwoofer, but that is a much rare occasion all I know for the price to the quality I’m very very unhappy and if they change that and they get a lot better with it I deff go back to it but for now that’s what we’re gonna stick with and if we’re gonna do a surround sound , it’s going to be all wired

    I’ve used these hulking pieces of speaker just over a month now. I use with Sony ht7000. Honestly I’m not blown away for the price. I feel like for the size these things are, the sound output doesn’t match up for me. I’ve tried a bunch of different settings in hopes of making them sound more substantial, but haven’t quite found the trick yet.

    Had these speakers set up for a few weeks and had non stop sound issues. Every few minutes the speaker would disconnect and reconnect making the sound completely distorted. Returned and got a new pair and same thing. When they worked, they were great but just too much inconsistency with the bluetooth connection.

    3 stars because these paired really well with the Sony AVR AN-1000, but you can barely hear sound out of these when paired with the Sony Ht-a7000 at least when streaming content in ATMOS.

    Not too bad, they should have not made them battery operated and are way over-priced for the sound they put out. If your looking for rear speakers i would look into other brands. Im afraid this is the best Sony has to offer and they are not too bad but definitely not worth the money

    The right rear speaker no longer holds a charge after just 3 weeks and will be returned (tested the power cable on the other speaker to make sure it was not a defective cable). The sound is nice when I hear them, which is seldom. Nice speaker, but probably not worth the price for many.

    They pair really well and easily to the supported soundbar. The built in battery is not worth it, since the battery life is so short. The speakers are also very large. For their size and mostly thier price, I expect them to be better, but they are pretty good.

    It worked fine for a day, but then the rear right speaker wouldn't connect anymore. Good luck with the support offered and a 2 week replacement. Save yourself time and money. Don't bother with these.

    Speakers constantly dropping in and out. When they worked, which was super rare, they were amazing, but it was far too often they didn’t and for the price, wow…I went with Sonos and have had a MUCH better experience.
