must have for sound bar 8, bar9
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the speaker really adds oomph to the sound bar. I picked up a bar 9 and it is absolutely a joy to use. However I do feel like the sa-rs3 has more sound depth than the rs5's. Not sure if its because rs5 has atmos up firing speaker or what. I love it

Convenience of complete wireless.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this rear speakers mainly because of the built-in battery to go with HT-A7000. I wasn't sure about the battery life when I bought it. After using it for a while, I realized I turn on only when I watch movies. When you turn on, it automatically connect to soundbar. For regular youtube or news or even movies that has only 2 channels I don't turn it on. So I charge it only once a month or so. It's perfect for my use. I can move then around depends on number of people watching or hide them when not in use. Freedom of complete wireless.

An Awesome Companion Piece
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These little guys are the big brother to the RS3s. I opted to upgrade because I was replacing my 7.2 wired system with something a bit more accommodating to a clean look. I was skeptical about the wireless bit, but they pair very quickly and easily with the sound bar and add a depth of sound to the ambiance I did not expect. I don't think I could listen without them now. If you're looking at these, don't think twice. They are definitely worth the upgrade. If you're still doubting it, just give a listen in the store. You'll be sold.

Very good surround sound speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They pair up with my Sony AN-1000 receiver perfectly. I am a bit surprised at how good they sound. I am not an audiophile, but these sound so much better than the wired Sony SSCS5 speakers that I was using. (surround effects only) have not really checked out music yet. I think they are about $100 too expensive!

Posted .Hi Jeff,
We're sorry to hear you're experiencing audio dropouts with your SA-RS5 speakers. This is often caused by wireless interference in crowded environments like apartments.
Since you are using the "Quality" mode, we recommend changing the "Wireless Playback Quality" setting to "Priority on Stable Connection" in your soundbar's menu. This should help improve the connection stability and reduce the dropouts. You should also ensure the speakers are not too close to other wireless devices. If the issue persists, please contact our support team for further assistance. You can do it though this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,

Great sound, quirky setup
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once these speakers got setup they sounded grest, getting them to sync with the Soundbar (A7000) was not as much fun. Constant error messages took me sbout 45 minuted longer then would have liked, but once i for the soundbar to recognize the rear L and R speaker, it was all good. Would recommend dialing in the sound levels manually to get the greatest effect. Also, if you move the soeaker, then plan on recalibrating them every time you woulk out thr popcorn and settle in for movie night.

Expensive but very happy with the quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first surround speakers I have ever purchased. I paired it with the 5000 soundbar, sw5 subwoofer and all connected to the 75” x95 tv. I have been very satisfied with the ease of setup, sound quality and overall looks. I have not figured out how to link these to turn on/off through the system yet. I tried the setting and was unsuccessful, so i guess i will have to pop open the manual one day to figure it out. I gor these while on sale, still expensive, but very happy customer.
I would recommend this to a friend Expensive for what you get but they are okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speakers added depth to my speaker system they were a little expensive for what you get but that’s Sony I guess.
