Customer Ratings & Reviews

Do not waste your hard earned money. I had high expectations for these little speakers, but was extremely disappointed with their lack of performance & quality; you can hardly hear them, they are barely discernable. I have been purchasing Sony products since the 1970's -- this was a big let down.

Bought these rear speakers to go with my new Sony TV and Sony HTZ9F Sound Bar / Wireless Subwoofer. BIG MISTAKE! DO NOT BUY. The internet connection keeps dropping and reconnecting. I was embarrassed in front of 17 family members during Thanksgiving as we all gathered to watch football. The audio would cut in and out from the rear speakers and the subwoofer. I paid for the internet provider to come out and take a look and as I thought no issues with my network. The issue is the SONY WIRELESS JUNK EQUIPMENT I purchased. I threw away the box to my soundbar like an idiot or else I would return to the store. I don't complain, but I want to warn others and save them from frustration.

Couldn't tell the difference if they were on or off. Even after adjusting the surround volume higher

Speakers work well when they work, but it requires so much troubleshooting when the soundbar is connected to multiple devices.

Sony needs to be much clearer about speaker compatibility.

A good speaker just wish the sound would go up past 12 on them that way there is more sound coming from behind you then in front.

Sounded ok had to send off for warranty right one stopped working

No powerThey are way too small not enough power I’ll put I will definitely have to buy a different pair

Nothing outstanding. They work ok but is not what I though it was.

Not as good as I thought it would be. Issues with linking to soundbar.

My rear speakers are spotty, they sound good and keep skipping the sound , I reset it but still no luck, it’s updated , and connected to a Sony tv 2019 model Would recommend if I could get it to work

Does the job must have if you have the sound bar need to come with a flush mount option

Overall these speakers are ok, hoping that they would put out a little more quality sound!

Easy to pair with compatible soundbar, but very poor volume. At loudest volume setting I had to be only inches from the speakers to hear anything. Overpriced system...returned speakers and Sony soundbar and upgraded to a Sonos Playbar with Sonos One rear surround speakers.

These are average in sound quality but a MUST HAVE if you bought the soundbar.

A bit over priced for not as loud as I wanted but works.

just okay for me. Didnt really add much. Not good enough for the money.

Not true surround sound but you can tell the difference when speakers are added

Purchased a Sony TV, so figured the Sound bar and Rear Speakers w/ Sub-woofer would pair easily. The rear speakers and sub-woofer constantly cut in and out while watching TV. This is quite annoying, especially if you're watching a movie or sports. Thought it was my wireless connection at first, but it's not. Regardless of how much you pay for something (to a certain extent anyways), the product should work, not sometimes, but all the time. Recommend finding a better product.

The Sony SA-Z9R is quite a simple set of rear speakers for the HT-Z9F wireless soundbar and subwoofer. If you own the HT-Z9F and want to step your game up to a 5.1 surround sound setup, the SA-Z9R allows you to make that transition very easily. Just like how the subwoofer from the HT-Z9F wirelessly pairs to the soundbar, the SA-Z9R rear speakers also pair to the soundbar, which means you only need to worry about providing power to each speaker. This makes cable management much simpler compared to traditional wired setups. Simply mount each speaker however you prefer, and then plug each speaker into the wall! While there are pairing buttons on each speaker, my speakers automatically paired to the HT-Z9F soundbar. So how is the sound? From my experience, excellent. The best experience will certainly come from properly positioning your rear speakers. But once you have them set up, the rear speakers add a new element of immersion to your Sony surround setup. And the best part is how easy it is to integrate into your existing HT-Z9F setup.
