- Pros mentioned:Sound quality
barely audible sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 would recommend this to a friend Bricked
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Hi THOMASW, we really apologize that you're having trouble with your SA-RS5 wireless rear speakers.
We're here to help and would be happy to provide some troubleshooting steps to get this resolved.
-Confirm the speakers are properly paired and connected to your soundbar.
-Ensure the speakers are charged or plugged in, as the SA-RS5 features a built-in battery.
-Reset the speakers and manually reconnect them to your system as follows: Disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC outlet (mains). Press and hold OPTIMIZE for more than 10 seconds. The rear speaker is reset.
If the problem persist after these steps, we recommend reaching out to our support team for additional assistance. You can locate their contact information here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht
Thanks for considering Sony and for letting us know about this issue.
Sincerely,
Estefany
- Pros mentioned:Setup
Lackluster performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got my hands on the Sony HT-A7000 flagship soundbar. To complete the home theater, I then purchased the SA-RS5 rears and SW5 sub (expensive setup). After setting everything up (which was a very easy experience) was completely let down by the anemic low sound produced at the rears. I found myself placing my ears up to the speakers assuming they were off! Checked multiple online chats and found I’m not alone. Sony needs to put out a firmware correcting this issue IMMEDIATELY!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend No Quality Control at Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was supposed to be a open box subwoofer in excellent condition. However the subwoofer was DOA because whoever at Best Buy, was too lazy to plug it in to an electrical outlet to see if it actually turned on. Which it did not. Sadly I can not give zero stars.

Over priced
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.extremely quiet and expensive not worth the money
No, I would not recommend this to a friendExpensive but sound good
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definite improvement from the non-upfiring model. Really don't need the battery feature though. I'm sure it would be cheaper without a battery built in
