    Super easy to set up. Up firing speakers make a world of difference and are amazing. High quality sound. Connection with hta-5000 is automatic and the 360 mapping feature works great. You will have a power wire running to it to charge or if you mount them.

    I bought these to complete my new A/V system. I was really surprised how good they sound. My old surround sound speakers barely mad any noise. I highly recommend these speakers!

    A must have for those Sony soundbars compatible with it. If you are having trouble with lost connection or stuttering sounds, it is recommended to turn off the RF auto optimization. It’s a blast using this for movies and video games utilizing surround sound. Highly recommended!

    Initial hiccups with sound. Sony support helped

    The installation was simple. I bought rear speaker stand instead of attached to wall. Speakers run on battery but need to recharge for 3-4 hours. Initially have issues with very low sound. Wanted to return but changed mind to check with Sony support. Called them to explain the problem. They guided me to set the speaker to high decibel value. My night mode was already off. After adjusting the decibel value to high i.e. 6, the speaker throughput increased. Now sound is high enough to know the background effect. After initial hiccup, all is going well for last 10 days. Sounds movies great with UHD and advance audio support.

    These speakers were easy to install and set up. They matched perfectly with the soundbar. The sound is almost perfect I wish they were abit louder but I guess that’s the surround sound level.

    Pair these with a 77 inch Sony Bravia OLED and an HT-A7000 sound bar. While the sounds is crisp and clear the volume does seem a bit limited to the rear speakers to get a great surround sound experience unless it is a sound track specifically engineered for the Sony sound system.

    If you think this are quality you haven't heard good immersion speakers and quality sound. The directional quality stinks, the only bonus is they are movable and have a battery(only 8hrs though), Samsung Top of line all in 1 package for half the money is 5 times better. I bought the Bar 9 RS5 rears and SW-5 sub I finally returned them because I couldn't get the immersion I wanted. Now I own the Sonos Arc ULTRA, Two ERA 300 and two SUB Gen 4 and It is 1000x better. When Gaming, I can tell what direction my enemies are approaching from. In fight seens I can feel bullets flying by my head with the SONY, it was just standard 5.1.1. If Sony was smart they would revamp this system to add up to 6 RS5's then you'd actually get immersion. I suggest they combine the Bar9 with Quad 4, and allow for TWO SW-5 subs, Then just maybe they could compete with SONOS.

    Purchased these as an Open Box Product. So far, for the most part, they seem to work as advertised. They are definitely worth the extra cost with a vast improvement over the SA-SR3S speakers I originally purchased (i.e., exponentially much better sound) The information included with the product was fairly limited for how they speakers operate and how to connect them. They rely almost entirely on the use of the sound bar remote control and a sequence of processes that are not intuitive and limited guidance, so unless you have used these before you will likely need to call Sony for help. Thankfully Sony was very easy to reach, helpful, friendly and patient with less experienced audiophiles. They will walk you through all the steps and educate you on what you need to know to get the best performance. I would give it 4.5 Stars.

    Great Prodcut. It pairs effortlessly with my Sony Soundbar and Woofer system. It truly gives a 360-degree sound effect. Great value for the money, and I definitely recommend it.

    You definitely want rear surround speakers for your HT-A7000 sound bar and these are far superior to the smaller SA-RS3S speakers. The additional upward firing speakers of the SA-RS5 really complete the surround experience. Easy to connect and mount, have had no issues with wireless connectivity.

    You get what you pay for! I upgraded my main tv speakers from the RS3’s to the RS5’s. These new speakers paired with my A5000 seamlessly. Wasn’t sure if I would notice a big difference and I was wowed! These speakers truly take my viewing experience to the next level. Full immersion! My RS3’s were moved to the bedroom to pair with my A3000 soundbar and they are a perfect match for that one. Definitely worth every penny spent.
