Wireless Rear Speakers with Built-in Battery (SA-RS5)

Excellent product, great quality well worth the money

Great add on experience, but didn't realise how big and heavy they are. Not sure about battery life as they are permanently plugged in. Definitely can hear the atmos effect. Probably not as good as speakers in the ceiling, but good enough to hear.

Great quality be better without the battery

I am using these with the new HT-A9000 soundbar and a Bravia TV. These rear speakers themselves are very good... albeit VERY, VERY expensive for what they are. And part of that expense has to be because that have a 10 hr battery - WHY exactly have they got a battery? You are going to have to have them on continual charge anyway because the battery doesn't last a day - so WHY even bother with the battery, just keep them mains powered to help reduce the cost. As for the setting up, then in order to get sound out them, these need to be using 5:1 audio - and once you set that on the Bravia TV, then that cuts off the OPTICAL PCM output I use for my headphones. As in order to use headphones AND hear the sound from the TV, you must use the OPTICAL PCM output - using the headphone socket automatically CUTs the TV audio output. So when they are in use, they do provide very good surround sound, but I would NOT recommend these if you want/need to use the OPTICAL output of a Bravia TV AS WELL as hearing the TV audio output - you can only use Speakers/Soundbar OR Optical Headphones, can't use both at the same time - which I could with my previous HT-A7000. So I have marked/rated these rear speakers as 3.5 ⭐ - good surround sound but overpriced because of the needless batteries and will only work with 5:1 audio and thereby lose the optical output on the Bravia TV.

When I got the Sony 7000 Sound bar and Subwoofer, I purchased the RS3 with them as rear speakers. I was so disappointed with the sound and did not feel it reflected what I paid for. My old system was the Bose Life 650, it's 5.1 Surround; The Sony promised a Dolby Atmos and 7.1 setup. I was going to remove it but before I decided to test it with the RS5 as rear speakers. The difference was INSANE, it suddenly came to life. Sound was coming from every direction, It felt like a 9.1 setup! Anyone reading this , do not bother with the RS3 it's a waste of money, go directly for the RS5 for your setup.

Very good set of premium speakers although a little on the expensive side but very good.

Excellent speakers with a great sound. A little faff connecting them to my A8000 soundbar (ignore the instructions and use the app). They really bring the sound to life compared to the soundbar only. May well buy the sub-woofer next to complete the set up.

These speakers perfectly enhance my sound experience

Einfach zu installieren und top Sound !

Habe die Soundbar Sony HT-A3000. Beim linken Lautsprecher Rear 8 leuchtet nur das rote Licht (rechts korrekter Weise weiß). Habe alles ausprobiert, funktioniert einfach nicht.
