Brilliant sound quality!
SARS3S.CEK 16/02/2022 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!

Sony Home Cinema -Extremely Disappointed
SA-RS3S 18/08/2024 (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 28/07/2024 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 12/07/2024 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.

Sony - SA-RS3S
SARS3S 23/09/2023 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.

Hi LenPop,
Thanks for reaching out to us with your concerns. We regret to hear that it hasn't performed to your standards particularly with the sound quality of this unit. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. To ensure sound is being output from both the speaker system and the optional rear speakers, press the IMMERSIVE AE on the connected soundbar to turn on the Immersive Audio Enhancement function, the speaker system upmixes audio signals, and sound is output from all speakers.
Note:
• The Rear speaker plays surround sound as part of the multi-channel sound or processed from the 2-channel sound. However, because of the characteristics of the rear speaker, the sound may be low depending on the playback source.
• Depending on the combination of the setting of SOUND FIELD and input signal, surround sound processing may not work effectively. The surround effect may be subtle, depending on the program or disc.
• To play multi-channel audio, check the digital audio output setting on the device connected to the speaker system. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the connected device.
If there is no sound or the sound from the Rear speaker is too low, you may also find this link helpful: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/sound-bars-home-theater-systems-sound-bars-surround-speakers/sa-rs3s/articles/00274538

SA-RS3S 15/03/2023 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.

Had these speakers for a month now and they are very poor. The sound coming from them is very low and volume control is at max when watching the TV through the A7000 sound bar with these speakers connected. No difference to the sound at all.

Amazing Surround Sound Experience
SARS3S.CEK 08/02/2022 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 07/02/2022 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.

POWERFUL REAR SPEAKERS THAT COMPLIMENT THE A7000!
SA-RS3S 30/01/2022 (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!

Adds to the full immersive experience.
SARS3S.CEK 07/12/2021 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.
