Product Reviews

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.

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 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.

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

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.

The sound projected around us is very impressive. I have bought a pair of 3rd party speaker stands to optimise their position.

Linked to the 5000 soundbar also with a sub woofer. Even with their volume setting on full they barely emit much sound. when playing the 360 demo they are great, but who can afford to subscribe to that.

It’s exceptionally brilliant! Enhances our viewing tremendously!

I highly recommend it. Everything is as expected. I suggest to set it up with sound bar and subwoofer. Step up and installation is soo easy

I bought this product in October 2024 & I’m absolutely bursting with joy & happiness. As usual Sony have knocked it out of the park with this premium item. I have been a loyal Sony customer for over 30 years because Sony are the very best at what they do. These speakers take your entertainment & enjoyment to the next level & more. I'm so glad that I purchased them to add to my system which includes the Bravia Theatre Bar 8000 Soundbar & SA-SW5 Wireless Subwoofer, the whole package of audio systems that is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious that create an extremely amazing experience that is absolutely second to none. Don’t short change or deprive yourself from getting the very very best, you will join the ranks of an exclusive group of people who own these Sony Products. Remember if you want the BEST the very BEST buy Sony equipment.

Sound quality is brilliant although a lot quieter than I would expect, had to manually change all the sound levels to be able to hear them properly, once the sound levels had been changed they really add to the experience of the other Sony products i use

Best satellite speakers I've bought for my soundbar and subwoofer

I bought them in October 2024 & they are truly amazing little pods of joy, especially when you are watching something that utilises their power. An absolutely super fantastic product indeed.

I recently brought these with the bar9 and sw5 sub. It’s the perfect combination. A true home cinema experience. I love it and would highly recommend. They have been around a few years now but not really sure how they would improve them as they are so good and loud

Enjoyed my Sony A3000 soundbar immensely, despite it only being 3.1, but didn't feel it really filled the room, however adding a pair of Sony SA-RS5 wireless speakers to the setup changed everything. Although the effect is quite subtle, in that the extra sound doesn't punch you In the ears, it somehow delivers a decidedly cinema experience with relevant sounds occurring around and above, leaving no empty sound space in the room. Although quite expensive I can recommend this addition unreservedly.

Apprehensive to buy these at first, thought they were expensive. But when they were connected what a difference and maybe worth the money, so easy to set up as the sound bar did all the connecting I also like the battery power speaker as I can place them in place when I need them. (The wife does not like then on show this is the compromise I had to make, I’m sure there will be a time when I can place them permanently)

I bought the product on July 2023. But the right speaker stopped working within few months. When I looked for Sony service, there was nothing nearby to my address and I was forced by Sony to bear the transportation and shipping cost. Importantly, they haven't repaired my product yet. Totally unacceptable. They charge a premium amount from the customers but they provide very poor build quality and worst service.

Great product and they give you so much flexibility as to where they can be located as they are wireless.

I haven't received the product . Really difficult comunication with the online team . They haven't help at all

I bought these speakers a month ago and set them up as Sony specified. They are used and connected to a AG9 Master Series TV and an HT3000 Soundbar. The TV output sound is brilliant. The sounbar is connected via the TV's eARC output. And the whole set up is as Sony recommends. With speakers to the rear and optimized to each other and soundbar and on stands etc. The HT3000 Sounbar output is OK but the sound output from these new speakers is very and I mean very weak. I had to put my ears to each speaker to see if they were actually breathing, I mean I thought they were dead. I await a Sony reply but at present thinking of sending them back. Goes without saying I therefore shouldn't by the matching woofer. Where are you. Sony experts. Darryl.

Purchased these as birthday present gift. What can I say I’m so happy I purchased these to match my sound bar totally impressed. Tests sound using YouTube Dolby Atmos it’s like full cinema experience. 10 out of 10 love them.

When you spend this much on a speaker you expect the best. With this unit, you get just that. Lovely build quality snd easy to configure. Impressive.

Bought these wireless speakers to go with the A7000 Sound Bar. They certainly add extra depth to the already very good sound coming from this Sound Bar

I bought these speakers to add to the recent SA-SW5 subwoofer and HT-A3000 soundbar buys. I like the design of these speakers and the optimise button on the top of the speakers means no matter where and how many times you move these about just takes a click of the button to optimise everything. after I set these up i played the demo and it nearly blew me out my seat. I have tried Netflix and music so far and I am happy with the overall performance, still to try out with atmos blu-ray discs but I thik I had better wait for the neighbours to be out for that. 1 small niggle is the right hand speaker does disconnect now and then but only for a minute or two

I bought these Dolby Atmos surround speakers around a month ago and they sound amazing. The sound is extremely clear and the up firing speakers make it sound like the sound is coming from everywhere, I am seriously impressed with the sound. I paired it with my HT-A5000 and it was very easy to setup, my soundbar recognised both speakers straight away. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed. My speakers are currently plugged in, but they hold around 10 hours of battery life so can be placed anywhere.

I brought these two weeks ago. Glad I did as I had the old rear speakers that came out with the sound bar before these ones add more sound, and right when you’re watching movies and listening to Dolby Atmos music.

Fantastic addition to my HT-A7000 sound bar. Really brought the sound alive. Easy setup and perfect wireless connection. No sound drop outs at all.

Fantastic sound and build quality. Atmos is very impressive. It has a battery power, so can be used without power or separately as multi-room stereo speakers. Also, auto-calibration button is very useful and easy to use. Shame Sony doesn't include this speakers set to the latest soundbars as a package. It should really with a better price offer. Overall, excellent product. Don't worry about it's price, it's worth every penny, you won't be disappointed.

Bought this to complement our Sony sound bar and sub woofer. Gives a real high quality cinematic experience

I bought these to compliment tge 7000 sound bar and combine with the sub it blown my Seinnheiser out of the water. I bought specialist stands for them and now have a perfect setup. Cannot recommend enough

I got those to supplement my HT-A5000 soundbar. Pairing was as easy as powering on the soundbar and then powering on each speaker. That was it. After I positioned the speakers on stands next to my my couch, I pressed Optimise on one of the speakers and the optimisation process kicked in. After that I was ready to experience the premium Home Theatre sound of the system. With a tweeter, a woofer(+2 passive radiators on each side of the woofer) and an up-firing speaker those make a massive difference to the audio experience. The immersion in Dolby Atmos movies is amazing. Even conventional DD5.1 with the help of Sony's 360 Spatial Audio Mapping sounds incredible. This is because it can create so called phantom speakers in the 3D space to project sound from everywhere in your Living room setup for fantastic immersion experience. That doesn't apply just for movies, even listening to Dolby Atmos music from one of your favorite streaming services will sound incredibly realistic. Excellent performance. In addition, the speakers can operate either on battery(up to 10h) or wired. You can mount them or place them on top of a furniture, the included cable tidy makes sure when placing those on top of something cabling stays neat and secured. @yyuhd

Very impressive, once set up is completed they work really well, I keep them plugged in to the mains all the time rather then use them completely wireless.
