Samsung 9500S Rear Speaker Kit - Wireless Dolby Atmos/DTS: X (SWA-9500S, 2021 Model), Black

This SWA-9500S rear speaker kit is a must-have for anyone rocking a Samsung Q800, Q700, or Q600 soundbar! If your soundbar starts with a "Q" and ends with an "A," "B," "C," or "D" (like my Q800D!), you're good to go – it's compatible with all 2021 and newer Q-series soundbars. My Q800D soundbar is fantastic on its own, especially with the Q-Symphony feature on my Samsung TV. Q-Symphony really broadens the soundstage, particularly for the center channel. However, as a true cinema buff , however,I always felt like something was missing. The SWA-9500S speakers completely filled that gap! 🎉 Now, all the sounds that should be coming from behind me are actually there! My Q800D already has two up-firing speakers, and the SWA-9500S adds another two! This makes the height effects so much more convincing. They're not quite as good as dedicated ceiling speakers, but they make a huge difference. This is an amazing product, but setup is key! I've seen lots of comments about enabling the "Group Sound" feature. Personally, I prefer it off. My guess is that "Group Sound" is better suited for music listening, not movies. Rear speakers aren't meant to be constantly loud; you should only really notice them during Atmos content when there are sounds specifically designed for the rear channels. That's why they're called rear speakers! 😉 To really maximize the rear sound, I turned down the volume of all the soundbar channels in the SmartThings app and cranked up the volume on the rear speakers and rear front speakers almost to the max. This made a world of difference! The setup was incredibly easy. I just plugged in the speakers, turned on my soundbar, pressed the "up" button on the wheel until "ID Set" was enabled, and boom! They connected automatically! ✨ So, if you have a compatible Samsung soundbar and you're a big fan of Atmos movies, you need these speakers. They're totally worth the investment!

Exactly what I wanted in rear speakers for my sound bar great price and definitely exceeds expectations and really helped my overall surround sound great job

I really wanted to complete the home theater set in my living room with these rear speakers since I already have Samsung TV, soundbar & woofer. For reference, the TV was Q60A, soundbar was Q700A, and rear speakers are 9500s. The connection was extremely easy. Items in the box: 2 speakers and two power cords. No connection cord between two speakers is needed. I simply followed the instructions by turning on the ID setting on the soundbar and boom, the two speakers were connected. At first the volume of the speakers sounded low, I couldn't find a way to adjust them unfortunately. For some reason I couldn't find them on the SmarThings App. But later I realized it really depends on the audio source (has to be 5.1 Dolby Atmos I think) and the soundbar mode. Make sure you set it as eArc Surround. I tested Netflix movies and video games. What comes out of the rear speakers and the volume of it really depends on the audio source. And it does create a surrounding spatial experience. However, given the price of these speakers and how much difference it made on top of the soundbar, I would think the soundbar itself is sufficient enough. But I do enjoy the premium experience so I'm gonna keep them. UPDATE SAME DAY OF THE REVIEW I found out how to control the rear speakers volume and it’s amazing how everything works together now. I can hear clearly from these two rear speakers. Even normal YouTube video or talk shows. I didn’t connect them to smart things app. they’re controlled by the soundbar using the soundbar remote. Press the gear button on the remote, scroll through until Rear Level, wait for the texts scrolling completely, a number will show up. Then press up button (not push up the volume up, but the up button on the wheel) to increase the volume. Thanks whoever posted in the review section originally!

Let me start by saying the instructions for connecting these speakers was generally not terribly helpful. As a matter of fact, I found better instructions right here on Amazon from another customer who included his information in his excellent review. Be certain that your soundbar is compatible with these speakers. My soundbar is a Samsung HW-Q800B. The blue tooth will likely automatically link up, but there is more to be done and to do it right, you should Turn OFF your soundbar, then hold the up button (circular control ring) for about 5 seconds. The soundbar should turn on and display INT. Next turn off the sound bar, then turn it on again. Next go to the speakers and hold down “ID SET” for about 5 seconds until they blink blue. Next, turn on the soundbar and the connection should be proper. Finally go to channel settings and adjust Left, Center, Top and Right. I am older so I set my center channal at 3, Left at -6 and Right at -6. I set the Rear speakers at +6 each. As to quality, these speakers seem to be very well made and match specifically the Q800 sound bar, Maybe they will be compatible with others as well, but I don’t know. The have great fidelity, they have upward facing speakers as well as forward facing speakers. They are Dolby Atmos compatible. For a thrill check you tube for Dolby demos and especially 4k with Dolby demos. These are a smash hit. My significant other heard the system in slack jawed amazement and pronounced them as ‘like a theatre”. I cannot say enough about them as to how much I liked them. One important thing to remember is that ideal placement is about 33 to 48 inches off the floor, so, stands are very helpful. I bought stands and will be reviewing them as well. Once you get them set up, you will love them.

I purchased these rear speakers as part of a bundle with the following sound bar. SAMSUNG HW-B550/ZA 2.1ch Soundbar w/Dolby Audio, DTS Virtual:X, Bass Boosted, Subwoofer Included, Adaptive Sound Lite, Bluetooth Multi Device Connection, Wireless Surround Compatible, 2022,Black The subwoofer that came with the sound bar paired with no issues but the rear speakers would not pair. I went through all the troubleshooting steps and videos I could find, and could not get them to pair. Also, I went through all the steps to reset the sound bar and was able to unpaired the subwoofer and get the subwoofer to pair up again. But I cannot get the rear speakers to pair. The reason we purchased these items is for convenience not to have to struggle to make the connections. I don’t want to spend hours on the phone with the helpdesk person just to get speakers to pair. That is why we purchased these items for the convenience of not having to deal with tech-support. Very disappointed. I guess I’ll stick with Sony as their Dolby Atmos systems tend to work with no issues for me. Returning the speakers for a refund. If Amazon advertises a bundle, they should make sure that the devices should be able to pair without any issues.

They work great once they are timed correctly with your sound bar. You have to make sure that they are turned up separately or they don't sound right.

We recently got a Samsung QN90C tv and I wanted a good sound system. I bought the Samsung HW-S800D which consists of a premium stupid slim sound bar and a subwoofer. While this setup was a great start it still wasn't a full surround sound system. These Rear 9500s speakers was the last piece that I needed to complete our system. These speakers work flawlessly and sound great. Like most though I thought the speakers sounded very low after everything was set up. My wife schooled me by finding a setting though that fixed this issue. In the Smart Things app under the Surround Speaker Setup setting Sound Grouping option needs to be enabled (see pics). Once enabled the sound from these speakers will be significantly louder. I also select Surround under the Sound Mode setting. Before using the Smart Things app I was using the remote and no matter what settings I changed while using the remote I could never get the volume to significantly increase. From what I can tell you can only activate the Sound Grouping option through the Samsung Smart Things App. Overall though I am very happy with these speakers and the sound quality.

Got this to pair with a q7c soundbar (costco version of q700) and g7 monitor. Reviews are true, barely any sound comes from these speakers. I have the fronts set to minus 6 and the rears set to plus 6 and it is barely useable. Luckily it is used in a small room with the speaker only a couple of feet from me but in a larger room, forget about it, you will never hear them. Maybe if I had a higher up soundbar with the room correction feature it would kick the speaker up more. These replaced a 5.1 system I drove through my PC and the rears were really distinguishable in that set up but a lot more subtle with this soundbar. the reason for the soundbar is because my monitor has a tv tuner built in that presents 4k content much better than my PC and the stock tv speakers sort of suck. These speakers costs more than my soundbar but the soundbar really needed them to fill the side and rear surround that's non existent in a 3.1 system. To make these sound better samsung needs to give us more manual tuning options. They can hide it, like 20 rapid clicks on the Disney+ button and opens a new menu.

But if you are using 230v you have to use 110v converter. Seller mentioned wall mount included but nothing received. But over all sound effects is great.

Excelentes para configurar un sistema Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 con una barra Samsung HW-Q800F. Quizás un poco costosas, pero son muy buenas y cumplen perfecto su propósito.

Enceintes d'excellente qualité avec une très belle finition. Je n'ai eu aucun problème pour la connexion Bluetooth avec la barre de son Samsung HW-Q800F. Pour ajuster le volume, on doit prendre l'application SmartThings de Samsung et l'installer sur notre cellulaire. Il faut allumer la barre de son et les enceintes arrières pour ajuster leur volume dans l'application SmartThings. J'ai mis deux copies d'écran. Une fois dans l'application SmartThings, il faut prendre "Niveau de canal" (voir première image). Par la suite, SmartThings présente plusieurs barres d'ajustement de volume. Pour les enceintes arrières, les deux barres du bas permettent d'ajuster le volume (voir deuxième image). J'utilise les enceintes arrières lors des événements sportifs et l'écoute de films. Pour le reste du temps, les enceintes arrières sont déconnectées. Pour les utiliser à nouveau, il suffit de les connecter dans la prise de courant et après quelques secondes, la connexion Bluetooth se fait avec la barre de son. Je recommande ces enceintes pour ajouter du plaisir d'écoute. Ils permettent de mieux entendre les sons de moyenne et de haute fréquence près de nos oreilles. Cela nous rapproche de l'action !

Excelente complemento. En verdad cambia la experiencia. Sonido envolvente muy real. Ten en cuenta que solo va a funcionar con ciertos modelos de barras. Investiga.

Produit bien emballé, produit fidèle à la description. Je suis très satisfait du produit et avec quelques recherches, il est possible d'ajuster le son à partir de l'application SmartThings de Samsung, beaucoup plus facile qu'avec la barre de son.
