Brilliant sound quality!

SARS3S.CEK 16 February 2022 by Whoopsadaisy (United Kingdom)

Upon arrival, the quality and attention to detail was clear to see, not just in the product itself, but the packaging and instructions too. The installation, (even for myself with limited technical ability) was easy. The connection instructions are clear and logically formatted with useful connectivity tips. A link button allowing connection to the soundbar along with a power lead is placed discreetly at the rear. There's approximately 2.5 metres of cable. The clarity of sound is extremely impressive in all modes. When linked with the sound bar and subwoofer, the settings for cinema and music come into their own; the sound becomes all enveloping. An individual setting on the remote control allows you to select the rear speakers volume to your preference. Overall, I am delighted with the all aspects of the product. It has brilliant sound quality with impressive easy to use features. Highly recommended!

SA-RS3S 20 April 2024 by Hendo 2 (United Kingdom)

I purchased these speakers after having a previous Sony surround sound for twenty years, new speakers have been so disappointing level pick up is almost non existent unless tv volume is high just wish I had held onto my original system far more pleasure from it.

Sony Home Cinema -Extremely Disappointed

SA-RS3S 18 August 2024  (United Kingdom)

I am deeply disappointed with my recent experience with Sony and felt compelled to share my feedback to alert potential customers.I purchased the Sony SA-RS3S home cinema system with high hopes, given Sony's reputation for quality. However, within just three months of purchase, the system malfunctioned, requiring extensive repairs.Furthermore, the customer service provided by Sony has been inadequate. The process to arrange repairs was cumbersome and time-consuming, involving multiple phone calls and delays. It is crucial for potential buyers to be aware of these issues before making a purchase decision. I urge Sony to reconsider their stance and provide fair treatment to their customers

Great addition

SA-RS3S 28 July 2024 by Nrg11 (United Kingdom)

These are a great addition to my soundbar. Being on a limited budget & having read some reviews I was sceptical whether to get these. But glad I trusted my own judgement now! The sound is great, a perfect compliment to my HTA5000, set up with 360 spatial mapping is total sound immersion. Reviews claiming poor sound I'd assume they hadn't set it up properly with their inputs as I have no such issues. My conclusion is I'm 100% saving up for the sub to complete the setup, & can't wait!

Added to the Sony A5000 sound bar

SARS3S 12 July 2024 by Scottt51 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

Added to a new A5000 sound bar. Not really a rear speaker as I envisioned, it's more of a surround sound component. Really adds to the sound quality of movies, YouTube videos etc. good addition to the sound bar in my opinion.

I purchased these speakers along with the A3000 sound bar when I up graded my Sony tv. They give a good sound quality, are easy to set up and being wireless there are no cables running around the room. Literally just plug in and play.

Extremal easy to setup but volume too little

SA-RS3S//M SP1 20 February 2024 by STEVETCH (Malaysia) Verified Purchaser Verified

Bought this about a month ago connecting to Sony TV and A3000 soundbar in my 14ft x 14ft living room Watched Netflix via HDMI also listen to Spotify Setup was extremely easy, just make sure there's one power point behind seating position where Rear surround speaker will be placed, the wireless auto connection is extremely simple to setup. Having TV, sound system within SONY ecosystem enables one single remote controlling, however there is about half a second to sometime one second lag when controlling soundbar with TV remote (compare to response time of TV remove to TV speaker or headphone AUX connected sound system) My only gribe is that the rear surround speaker volume could get a huge boost especially listening to music (non 5.1 sound channel output) most of the time the rear speaker volume its quite "dim"

Sony - SA-RS3S

SARS3S 23 September 2023 by LenPop (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

I’m disappointed in the sound level. I was hasty when purchasing because I wanted the discount of $100. I still paid $307 with the warranty and not happy. I just settled because too many other things are happening to return all and go traditional surround where I can actually hear the sound behind me. I’m old and it’s mostly me listening so I put the speaker right next to me and at least I get the occasional background sound.

Pleasantly surprised

SA-RS3S 15 March 2023 by Bennito (United Kingdom)

We have only had these speakers a short time. I had not expected them to perform as well as they do. So easy to set up with the sound bar and sub-woofer. They certainly add another dimension to the sound from TV. I deliberated a long time before choosing and had also considered the more expensive RS5's. However, these are perfectly adequate.

The RS3S Wireless Rear Speakers are optional extras for the new Flagship Sound Bar from Sony the A7000. The are very neat and can be easily poisoned anywhere in the room. Once turned on the sound bar will find and add them to the system. They add to an amazing sound bar sound system, bringing a complete sound to any room in your home

Amazing Surround Sound Experience

SARS3S.CEK 08 February 2022 by Graham (United Kingdom)

I use this with my Sony HT-A7000 soundbar and what a brilliant addition to my system these surround sound speakers are. These are bigger than other surround sound speakers I have owned but the sound from them is crystal clear and the perfect complement to my surround sound system. With them being wireless speakers all you need is an electrical socket nearby, after plugging them in within seconds they were connected to my system ready to use. You can adjust the surround sound volume separately on the remote control, I have it at its highest setting as I love to experience the full surround sound immersive experience that these speakers give me. These speakers are solidly built, with sleek modern looks with its rounded corners, will fit well in any environment. The performance of these speaker along with the Sony HT-A7000 for me I the best sound experience I have had. I would, without hesitation, recommend this these surround sound speakers.

Great Sound

SARS3S.CEK 07 February 2022 by Thepars (United Kingdom)

These do exactly as they are supposed to. As you'd expect, the sound quality is perfect. Used with the HT-A7000 they are very easy to set up, it's pretty much automatic. Pros: Sound great, easy set-up, look good and adjustable volume level (via the soundbar). Slights Cons: The advantage of Bluetooth is no speaker wires, but, the downside is each speaker needs mains power. So you need to have close access to power sockets for each speaker (or use an extension lead). A small disadvantage but not a game changer.

Got this together with the HT-A7000 soundbar and subwoofer but the volume is low (even at max) for a room corner configuration..This would work if placed directly behind the listener (not too far away). Sometimes, I wonder if the sound auto optimization is.working.

POWERFUL REAR SPEAKERS THAT COMPLIMENT THE A7000!

SA-RS3S 30 January 2022  (United Kingdom)

I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT A FEW DAYS AGO TOGETHER WITH THE SONY SA SUBWOOFER 5 AND THE SONY HT-A7000 SOUNDBAR. INSTALLATION IS SIMPLE AND QUICK AND EACH SPEAKER SEEMLESSLY CONNECTS WIRELESSLY WITH THE MAIN SOUNDBAR, (YOU JUST HAVE TO FIND AN APPROPRIATE AREA IN YOUR ROOM CLOSE TO AN ELECTRICAL SOCKET FOR EACH SPEAKER). THE 7.1.2 SOUND SET UP, IS TRULY SPECTACULAR ENVELOPPING AND IMMERSING THE LISTENER WITH HIGH QUALITY AUDIO OR DOLBY ATMOS/DTS SOUND FROM BLU RAY, AUDIO CD AUDIO AND 4K UHD DISCS. THE REAR SPEAKERS ARE POWERFUL AND PROVIDE DISTINCTIVE AND INTERACTIVE REAR SOUND. I'M IN SONIC HEAVEN EVERY TIME I USE MY NEW SOUNDBAR SYSTEM!

Brought this about a month and half, was quite excited to try this out with my HTA7000. Was not too thrill that it's only 2 way, with no up firing drivers. It only performs well with very good Atmos and surround sounding movies. So if you really want Atmos sounding setup, go for separates. Go for this if space is limited.

Adds to the full immersive experience.

SARS3S.CEK 07 December 2021 by Lord-Viridis (United Kingdom)

Adding these to the A7000 was as simple as turning them on, the A7000 within a few seconds saw them, connected to them and finally prompted to set up using the sound-field optimiser. Once done, all of 40 seconds or so later, the a7000 resumed back to its previous source and all was done. Less than a minute. The experience is definitely more refined and more immersive using these, a definite highlight is the T-rex escape in the 4k remaster of Jurassic park, the sound was incredible absolutely incredible. The surround was perfection, distant echos sounded distant, while rain fell all around and a boom of thunder boomed and echoed all around. I don't think I've ever heard this film like that since 1993 in the cinema. For additional speakers, you would expect them to be weaker or less responsive than those housed in the main unit, but no, they are just as high quality as you'd hope. Could you run the a7000 as a stand-alone unit? Absolutely.. you can, no question, but you will definitely gain an extra level of immersion and an all round better experience by adding the SA-RS3S to the mix. Adds to the brilliance, with a sprinkle of awesomeness.
