Customer Ratings & Reviews

Will need the Sony Soundbar to work. Obviously. But once paired up they provide a wonderful sphere of audio. The demo provided does a good job of showing them off, but where they really shine is Gaming. tired of feeling like you have to wear a headset to enjoy a MP game? Feel like at a disadvantage if you don’t have 360 audio? Worry no more! These bad boys can do what your headset can AND they won’t put a dent on your head or wallet! Dolby atmos support is also a plus.

These are excellent rear speakers. They are paired with an HT-A7000 and an SW5 subwoofer in my living room. Sound quality is exceptional - feels like we are in the theater. For the first year or so I would charge these. They hold a charge well and would only need recharging every couple of weeks. I decided to keep them plugged in recently, and am much happier not having to pull them down to charge them. It is probably all in my head, but sound quality seems a bit better now that they are always plugged in.

These speakers sound amazing! The audio is clear, loud, and fills the room really well. They’re easy to set up and respond quickly, making them perfect for music, movies, and everyday use. I’m very happy with the performance and would definitely recommend them.

I had the previous model and this blows it out the water! Worth the upgrade thus far. They are bigger than expected and was worried about if or how they would look wall mounted. After installing on the wall, they look Elegant! I have an outlet near by and the recharging cord is long enough to reach to recharge or leave in plugged up if your into that. It is true they don’t come on automatically while unplugged, so have to manually turn each on and would be nice to use them as a Bluetooth speaker individually or together( took a star for these issues) I’m sure Sony will address that soon. Otherwise, Dolby ATMOS sound AMAZING. Move over turned my living room into a Movie Theater!

Great surround / rear speakers for my soundbar. These definitely create the immersive environment when watching movies with Dolby Atmos. Nice feature that they can be used while plugged in or unplugged from the wall. I paired these with my Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8 and a Sony Sa-SW3 Subwoofer. No lag in connection and works very well.

Sound is great! They work well with my receiver and enhance the surround sound over prior speakers. The only downside is the battery only lasts 10 hours. They charge relatively quickly though

I love the sound of these speakers & the fact that they are ‘truly’ wireless makes it even more great.

I'll catch myself wondering where that noise came from, and look behind and realize your hearing sounds in movies you've never heard of

First thing, they were on a huge sale. They were a little fussy to set up the sound parameters (blue took connection was easy and effortless though). Maybe I'm a little OCD, but wanted specific 7.1 sound out put. Now that they are set up, I wondered how I have lived with out them. They produce plenty of volume and spatial awareness. It almost makes You purchase media that has all those sound fields.

The Read Speakers is magical, it is very powerful it gives a very pleasant sound, it is the best Read Speaker in 2023. Until now, no device has seduced me like this one. Sony HT-a7000

After my 75” Sony Bravia XR purchase ,I decided to get the complete sound set to complete my Dolby Atmos Experience. Adding to my Sony HT-A7000 7.1.2 soundbar which alone out of the box sounded great, I added the 300W SA-SW5 Subwoofer for added true rich , tight deep bass low tones. That’s brings me to the new addition to my Sony Family , rear speakers SA-RS5. Let me tell you, this rear speakers truly add to the Dolby Atmos experience. Being rear speakers, they have both forward and upward facing speakers. They come with 10 hour internal battery Incase you need to temporary move your speakers around where you might not have a wall plug outlet. Sound is fantastic, midranges and high times are crystal clear.

These perform incredibly well with dplby atmost content as they are meant to. They definitely should be able to get a little louder considering their size and since they are truly wireless with 10h of battery life they should be able to have a setting for playing what the center channel is putting out to expand the sound to other part of the home (house party scenario or watching from a different area of the home). And just as big of a missed opportunity how these cant doublr as a stand alone bluetooth speskers. I gave 4 stars but as i wrote this i was tempted to give 3

These wireless rear speakers from Sony that are intended to pair well with certain models of their wireless soundbars and subwoofers work well and add an extra dimension of sound even to the oldest dvd's that don't necessarily have a lot of action. When the entire system is optimized and those speakers do kick in, the sound is very impressive, particularly if you have a 4k/bluray player that beautifully upscales blurays to near 4k quality. I may be wrong but I think the sound is getting a "goose", too! Highly recommended, (wait until BB puts them on sale as they invariably will for a holiday), to make that high-tech Sony soundbar, with its optimization to create sound from "phantom" speakers around your room, even better!

They work great. Literally sound like a movie theater when paired to a sony soundbar that offers spatial sound.

I like the design and technology of this speaker but i wish it kicked in a little more. When i watch sports i don't near much audio from it. I also crank movies way up which is fun but i wish it could just play excessively louder with the Hta5000 or Hta7000 at a lower volume level. I got in a package deal with a sub and 5000 soundbar for 399. It's a decent value. I've tweaked in the settings but maybe i need to more.

In a NYC Apt: Perfect pair up w/ Bravia Soundbar 8 and 65" Bravia 8 OLED. Plenty of sound, bass and effects to get a an immersive experience w/o external subwoofer. Achieving surround DTS Atmos on budget for not much more than buying just the Bravia Soundbar 9 only. If you have the budget sure but this combo is already fantastic at half volume. Well though out design, materials, components included. If you wait for sales can get the Soundbar 8 and these rear speakers for cheaper than the Soundbar 9!!

Title: Sony SA-RS5 Wireless Rear Speakers - Elevating Home Theater Audio I recently incorporated the Sony SA-RS5 Wireless Rear Speakers into my home theater setup, and they have proven to be a game-changer, seamlessly complementing the Sony HT-A7000 Soundbar. These rear speakers not only enhance the overall audio experience but also provide the flexibility and convenience of wireless technology.

These are better than the RS3. For an additional $300 I guess they should be though, right? These speakers seem to add more "meat" to the sound. Also, they have upward firing speakers so it'll add two more Atmos speakers. I returned the RS3 for these because I felt the extra money was worth it. I do feel like they could have removed the battery function of these and made the cost about $100 cheaper. Also, if you do use the, what I'll call the "battery mode," the speakers will have to be manually turned on every time you turn your system on. If you leave them plugged in, you don't need to constantly turn them back on. I did have to manually turn them on once, but it has been one time in the past month. You don't want to put too many things between the speakers and the sound bar. I had to move my back speakers closer to the couch which is about 2 feet off the wall. The sound was going in and out when the speakers were against the wall, but closer to the back of the couch and still on the outer sides of the couch and the sound hasn't been an issue. I also felt more immersed in the sound when I moved them up. It definitely felt better.

I had gone to BB to look at TV’s for an upgrade to our 65” Sony Bravia. While looking at the TV’s the sales associate was assisting me in trying to narrow down the TV that I would most likely be interested in. Enter my wife. The sales associate turns on the surround sound. And it blew both me and my wife away. My wasn’t really into surround sound as I am until the sales associate turned it on. So with the TV that I settled on we bought the entire surround system. The Sound bar. Which I was never a fan of because I have a Marantz receiver that handled it. But the sound bar. Subwoofer and these surround rear speakers. Are just awesome. Oh and my wife had always wanted me to get rid of the tower speakers and center channel and surround speakers from the living room. Kind of like down sizing but with this set up I won’t miss the towers. Sony XR 77a80L OlED, Sony HTA8000 5.1.2 atmos sound bar. Sony SA SW5 300 watt wireless subwoofer. Sony SA RS 5 rear surround speakers. All wireless. This set up is awesome.

Was hesitant to buy these, due to price. Now i cant imagine my set up without them. Bought the str -an1000 receiver, for a 5.1 set up. Be aware these wireless take two channels. Atmos up firing and surround - so 2 channels per each surround speaker. So three in front and only these two in back. Can only use wireless sub OR wired. Not both. (Can use 2 wireless, or wired - but not one of each) this is confirmed with sony support. If you know all this going in, and 5.1.2 (also cannot use atmos stand toppers with the wireless surrounds) - the. You will be happy. The sound is immersing and excellent once you fone tune the settings. I am overall very happy and satisfied. I have enough to set up another system in another room, so not a total loss. Lol….
