Good speakers, really get extra power to complete system.

A fantastic addition to my home theatre setup, the RS5s really add depth and dimension. Easy to setup and configure. Placement of the speakers is simple as well, thanks to the rechargeable batteries.

Very good rear speakers match very nicely with the soundbar give great sound and especially the when the program you are watching is in Dolby atmos and you can tell the sound is better when gaming

Recently bought to complement my AT7000 soundbar and Bravia TV. Excellent speakers that now gives me a full SONY TV and sound system.

Bought it 2 months ago to complete my new Sony Theater Bar 9 surround sound setup. It greatly improves the sound bubble, and enhances the sound effect of multi-channel audio in movies. With this pair of rear speakers, the sound field is much more realistic, compared to just the soundbar with virtual surround sound. For supported Sony soundbar, this is simply a must-have.

Previously tested SA-RS3S. Poor connectivity so said them back! No problem with connecting these but cannot say I notice any appreciable difference in sound Even with volume at max for rear speakers sound is not always noticeable. So I am reviewing the purchase and testing further

Bought these to compliment my theater bar 9 and I have to say I am well impressed, the overall package just works, I have read reviews where people complain about the volume but I think they are missing the point that the rear speakers aren't supposed to overpower just enhance

I bought this a few weeks ago to finish off my surround set up with the Bravia Bar and the Subwoofer and they are so good. It really gives the surround sound feel.

I recently went ahead & purchased these speakers. Sony SA-RS5 speakers are an absolute must-have upgrade for owners of compatible Sony soundbars. They transform an already great bar into a world-class home cinema system. The combination of true wireless placement flexibility and Sony's incredible 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology makes the surround experience unrivalled in the all-in-one soundbar market. If you want the best possible audio immersion from your Sony setup, do not hesitate—these are worth every penny. The only downside was that Sony / John Lewis do not sell stands for these speakers.

If you are watching a movie is great but for anything else is not. My only problem is that is to expensive (£500) just to watch a movie.

Wireless Is easy to move anywhere,just need few days charge again.everytime full battery to work one of the speaker run of battery first,I wonder is it normal? If the battery’s lifespan becomes shorter in the future, can it be replaced?

Love theses speakers so glad I went for them so easy to set up and have a great quality feel with them

A9000+SW5 must pair with RS5,after addi on rear speakers sound level totally different , wireless also very convenient

Works flawlessly. Just plug and play. Adds a lot of immersion to movies and music. Design is unobtrusive and blends in to my decor.

The must have rear speakers along with subwoofer and soundbar....Wow !

They may seem a bit pricey though they are well worth the addition to your sound system, adds an extra dimension to your audio experience.

It is an absolute disappointment you can’t operate it without a sound bar simply with an app.You pay 700 for speakers useless without sound bar which costs additional £1300.Sony get real!

Happy with sound and finish, it’s a great speaker.

I purchased these rear speakers together with the subwoofer about a month ago. Sound quality is awesome which really gives 360 surround sound. I also like the built-in battery as I can move the speakers around without worrying about the wires.

Sound is Good... Easy to Setup with auto Detect RL & RR

I bought these speakers a few months ago and they met every expectation. Easy to setup and very responsive to subtle sounds. Background soundscapes clear and immersive when connected to the sound bar.

Paired with HT-A7000, the volume of sound is soooo quiet... not only that, not long after that, the SA-RS5 started to have stuttering....the speaker performance with this price point is kinda disappointing. Sony after sales service is also terrible... not able to provide any useful solution to resolve the speaker issue.

The SA-RS5 speakers paired with my Sony Theatre Bar 8 and my SA-SW5 subwoofer give a great surround experience. Have tried them with the James Bond movie No Time to Die on Bluray and the sound of the bullets impacting in the early attack on the Aston Martin surround you.

I finally can setup IMAX sound in my home. Really awesome.. I can finally feel 360 sound with this sytem.The only lacking is that every time I want to use need to push On button. There is no control or synch with main soundbar system. Hope I can activate the system automatically or at least through Apps.
