SonySA-RS3S Wireless Rear Speakers for BRAVIA Theater (BAR 8, BAR 9), HT-A7000/A5000/A3000/S2000 and STR-AN1000

I have the Sony ANR1000 receiver which supports these natively. As such, setup was a breeze. And they've stayed connected through receiver firmware updates and restarts. The sound is good for the size.

Sound great, easy to set up.

These are good quality speakers meant to be used with several models of Sony soundbars.These are sattelite speakers only to be mounted behind you. They only get their signal from Sony sounbars broadcasting via Bluetooth. They will not work without a supported Sony sound bar.They are only sattelite speakers and wont act as full stereo speakers. This means they will only produce the sound encoded onto a 5.1 or 7.1 or Dolby soundtrack. If the title of video or music you are listening to does not support rear speaker sounds or your Sony sound bar does not support them, you will hear nothing from these speakers. They are primarily to serve as rear sound soeakers only. Most Sony sound bars that support these or some TVs will also give you an extra volume control for these speakers. Look at the compatibility listing for what Sony sound bars they support to be sure you can use these.I primarily use these when watching Dolby 5.1 or Atmos movies. They often produce explosions or sounds of objects zooming by quite nicely. They also add a lot to music depth as you'll hear some instruments in front and some behind. Add a Sony subwoofer and youll be amazed at how good things sound and things you never heard in your music before.But as I said previously the great sound from these behind you only happens if the creator of the content made it in Dolby 5.1 or Atmos. Also some titles are really good at mixing the tracks so you have the greatest spatial experience. But get a studio or artist mix who didnt do a good job at mixing tracks, and youll have a horrible experience. I had one movie that put some of the stuff that should have been behind onto front speakers and dialog onto back speakers. Objects moving left to right could move right to left on the speakers. Luckily nowadays, most titles, whether music or video, are at least mixed properly for Dolby 5.1.So while these speakers sound pretty good when the content is well mixed, what you hear is 90% going to be dependant on what the mix you are listening to is serup for.Don't plan on putting these on non-Sony or unsupported sound bars. You'll hear nothing at all. They only are Bluetooth as what they get from your soundbar. They also dont work with phones. They are only good quality sattelite speakers but perform really well for that.

Great speakers. They really add a new level of depth to my movies and music. Paired with a Sony subwoofer; it’ll blow you away!

Great sound and easy set up

Read a few reviews about the speakers, installed them today. Previously installed Sony speaker 5s, They were big, gaudy, and the sound did not match the set up.These speakers are smaller, the sound clarity is excellent, highly recommend these over the 5s. Awesome speaker, pairs well with soundbar 8 and subwoofer 300. Great match pairing! Make sure to download the Bravia app and adjust the volume speakers from the app. Best speaker system with Sony Bravia 8 TV.

Seems quality made. easy set up. However, the speakers produce very little sound at low to medium volume on the soundbar. if you crank up the soundbar, rears do make some audible sound. I knew this going in, but at least the rears do open the sound stage for the soundbar.

Bought the wireless rear speakers to complete a surround sound system for my Sona BRAVIA TV. I have a Sony TV, Soundbar, subwoofer and rear speakers.- When setting up the system, the speakers are loud and clear. However, when using with the TV or music in surround sound mode, they are barely noticeable.- My biggest frustration is that when ever the power goes out or the entire system is turned off, the soundbar and TV stop syncing up, and I have to troubleshoot the system to get everything back synced up. Usually involves turning off the soundbar and TV, or unplugging both to get them synced up.- Additionally, there is a setting to optimize the setting for sound quality or connection. However, the speakers frequently become disconnected and you have to turn them on and off to get them to reconnect.- Seriously considering to sell the whole system, and buy a new surround sound system. Disappointed.
