Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bate and switched bought them on line, open box came broke untested, when I wanted to exchanged they wanted another 100.00 because the price went up in the 3 days it took to ship them, a total waste of time 3 day wait 2 hrs with Sony 4 hours with best buy 12 dollars in gas.I recomend sony Not Best But.

Just wish they would've been more louder,other than that good.

Speaker is great just not compatible for the Sony system I have.

The Sony SA-RS5 rear speakers are a MUST HAVE if you own the HTA-5000 or HTA-7000. Just put them in your cart if you bought one of those two Sony Soundbars. You definitely want to take full advantage of Dolby and 360 Spatial Sound and add these speakers. They are sleek and follow fit most modern fabric speaker designs without looking like satellite addon speakers of the past cinema setups. They have built-in batteries or the option of a traditional "wired" speaker you plug into the wall. Listen to music and feel like you are at concert with the wide sound stage created by the 360 sound bounces. The overall user experience was a pleasure and now stress. For setup just open the box, unwrap and unpack, then plug them in to charge. They automatically pair but you will need to update the firmware on these to work properly. I updated the firmware by using the update tool within the soundbar software for the easiest experience. After the speaker update, each speaker automatically re-paired and was ready to go. Also do yourself a favor and grab one of the wireless subs to pair for a unique movie watching experience at home. I find myself watching more TV because or the experience 360 Spatial Sound provides as it breathes new life to even my kid's cartoons! Wireless Connection Stability Not a single drop or connection drop since using this. I have lots of interference with wireless devices and this system performs solid. I usually am not a fan of wireless satellite speakers because of signal issues that takes them out periodically. I am happy to say I have not experienced any issues like this using the Sony HT-A5000 sound bar with SA-SW3 Subwoofer. All four devices play well together and create the most amazing sound stage using 360 Spatial Sound Mapping that REALLY WORKS! Audio doesn't lag and everything is in sync with video. Sound Quality and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping What is in each of these amazing wireless wonders? Well, I'm glad you asked! Each speaker has an up-firing speaker, soft dome type tweeter, wide directivity woofer, and dual passive radiators. The up-firing speakers really make a difference in the soundstage. It bounces sound off the ceiling to create more encapsulating and immersive sound to make you really feel part of the scene. The sound clarity and power is excellent for these wireless speakers and the REALLY complete the feeling of being there. Highs are clean and crisp with mids and lows being powerful and clear even in deeper bass drops. I recommend anytime you place the speakers, click the [OPTIMIZE] button so it can remap and initialize 360 Spatial Sound Field Optimization. Mounting Options I absolutely love the flexibility and power of these speakers. Either wired with a charger or completely wireless in battery mode. Put them on a speaker stand or end table, or just maybe wall mounted behind you for a REALLY nice experience and NO WIRES. If you don't want to use them, leave them powered off and you have a traditional soundbar frontal experience. You can hide them and bring them out when you want a more immersive movie experience. YOU HAVE OPTIONS and WITHOUT WIRES. Leave them plugged in and they will automatically power on and connect when you turn on the soundbar. Wireless and Easy Setup Everything is plug and play with minimal effort on my part aside from plugging things in and typing passwords for Wi-Fi access when setting up the soundbar. If you are already up and running on a compatible soundbar the speakers automatically pair. These speakers combined with a compatible soundbar intelligently measure the distance between speakers and ceiling using dual microphones in each speaker for smart and easy set up. Battery life With each unit containing a built-in battery, a 10 min charge gives 90 minutes in a pinch. To me it isn't really an issue because if you can charge it for 10 minutes, you should just use them in "wired mode" with the AC cord plugged in. It's rated for 10 hours battery life fully charged, so it easily gets you through a binge session. For marathons you just switch to AC power. After a week of use, I can say on battery I average about 8 hours of around 40% volume and it sounds amazing. The only downside of battery mode is you must go to each and individually power them on. After a simple click, it works and automatically connects. Verdict In short, if you have purchased the HTA-5000 or 7000, you should be looking at this and a sub to complete the AMAZING 360 Spatial Sound and change your media experience. Using this new technology you will revive old films and hear things like never before!

Rear right speaker was unplugged by a family member and I didnt know. Battery drained. When I plugged it back in, it wont sync to the bar, wont reset, and Sony had me try everything I already tried and it's bricked (flashing green light 3 times). Sony finally told me to take it to a 3rd party local company for repair. Waste of money.

Wrote to Sony asking about pairable soundbars. Support was not good. Be prepared to search for help in youtube videos

I was wanting to like them, but I could not hear anything out of them unless I had my ear directly at the speaker. The demo's gave off an incredible, audible sound; however, I could get no audible sound when watching movies. The soundbar seemed to output all the sound. I will be returning.

I expected more out of these than just a minimal sound experience. Kinda disappointed.

Could hardlwy hear sound, regardless of where speakers were placed….wireless connection was horrible. If you walk in front of them they start to cut out

They disconnect and stop working , and sony sticks it to ya !!! Warning do not purchase!

There good but i wish the sound cane out alot better

Excellent product, sound quality is amazing. The only reason i gave 4 start on value is price is pretty steep

Loved how quickly the speakers are synced with the sound bar. The sound quality is great. I love this product

Speakers are ridiculously good. The doubd field is impressive. I will never go to the movies again.

The battery dont last long but the sound quality is amazing.

its not loud enough.. im not impressed at all………..

It works but difficult to set up and not worth the money

Not loud enough. Have turned up to max. Only hear it if ear is next to it.

Not worth it. High value ,cheaper sound. Pay a lot for nothing.

You have to get these to experience true surround sound.
