Sony Surround Sound System With Wireless Speakers

[2-Way] Great sounding speakers… a beautiful addition to my surround sound system

[20 to 150 W] These speakers were the missing puzzle to my surround sound system. Great background surround speakers!

[Proprietary] I bought these speakers for my Sony soundbar to get the total 360 surround sound which is AWESOME!

[5.1.2-channel] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this system for a few months now. It is great! The sound is amazing! It sounds the same as other expensive surround systems. The 2 upfacing speakers work just like side and rear surround speakers. The bass is full. I am one who likes to feel movies. It is crazy the sound that comes from a sound bar. I was never a fan of sound bars before hearing this for the first time. It sounded good at Bestbuy but sounds much better in a smaller space, such as a living or media room. Highly recommend.

[4 Ohms] I purchased these pair to be used as height speakers for my surround sound system. The size is perfect and they sound great.

[Passive] I replaced the front speakers of my surround system with these. The slim profile looks great next to my tv, but the sound is large. When I listen to music, I just use these and my subwoofer and get the complete frequency range without adjusting any eq.

[131' / 40 m] This is a follow on to my review of the Soundbar 700, wanted to let everyone know about the surround speaker option for the system. This is an excellent addition to an already incredible surround sound system. The build quality is very high end as expected and the speakers installed relatively easy, you will need to “assemble” the connectors for the back of the speakers; everything you need is included and it allows you customize the length of the power cable for a clean install, you do however need to find someplace for the power brick (about the size of a laptop power supply) but other than that it is very straightforward and easy enough to add to the Soundbar 700. The configuration part can be tricky if you try and connect them to the Soundbar 700 via the remote control, I would highly suggest using the app instead as it is much easier than the key combinations needed for the remote method. Also, if you are adding these after you have installed and configured the Soundbar 700 then you will need to run the ADAPTiQ setup again to gain the full use of the speakers. I can tell you that after using the system without the surround and then adding and properly configuring them, you will not be disappointed with the results. I thought at first glance that there was no way the tiny speakers would make a noticeable difference but I was wrong, they add a depth and dimension to the sound that gives it a 3D sound field; I was very impressed with the results just from adding these little jewels. A final thought… If you are already spending the money on the base system, then for a little extra the surround speakers will complete the package; I would say it is akin to buying car and adding the chrome wheels (it is the little extra that makes a world of difference).

[Sealed] I will be honest I truly have no idea how this surround sound is supposed to sound to me. This is my first surround sound system I have ever owned and so I have nothing to compare it to. I do have to say I dont know how I feel about the center channel out cable that makes the voices come out of the tv speakers so it sounds more directly in front of me. I kind of feel like that ruins the experience just a tad bit because I am connecting a low grade speaker to a top grade system and almost drowns out the quality of sound coming from the two front surround sound speakers mounted on the wall. But I will play around with it and see what I like better. As far as the subwoofer goes it is great truly is immersive vibration but if there was a way to connect a 1000W RMS or higher subwoofer (something comparable like a nightshade v5 2500W sundown audio subwoofer for a car) to this system I would highly recommend adding a new subwoofer to the Sony line up that is twice as powerful as this one or give me the ability to add a second subwoofer to the system. I can say I have never sat in my living room and watched an action movie and heard bullets zing past my head before. But with this surround sound that is exactly how it sounds and I can say with all honesty it is really an amazing and cool experience to have as my first one. Hope this helps with future bug fixes and tech updates. Please let me know if you add a new more powerful subwoofer or make it so I can add a second one to the system. Thank you!

[Full-Range] Surround speakers- are they worth it?: The surround speakers definitely add up the listening experience of any audio content. They are a must for a anybody who likes watching movies , a favorite tv show, sports events and so on… Quality: Materials: It is Bose, build quality is great. Audio wise: they sound crisp, but just not as loud as I would expect. Using the Bose app after pairing with soundbar 900 and bass 500, I had to increase surround speakers level to the max (100) so that I can hear them. Online forums recommend to re-run the adaptiq calibration but this time covering both of the surround speakers with a rag or something in order to force a level up on the speakers. It is a tweak, I’ll do that later once my neighbors are not around (I live in an apartment and this test is quite noisy). Cost: Nobody can deny that 600$ for these is a lot of money. Specially when looking around at the competition. I got them with 200 discount new. I would say this should be a fair amount - but still pricy. Cons: Beside the retail price (600$), the ground post and ceiling pivots ( accessories sold separately) are expensive and there are not many options/brands to choose from, unlike the competitors once again. Bose is making it harder to justify getting their systems because of the price. The wireless receiver module is huge, probably like 2.5x the size of the speaker itself. You’ll have to find a way of hiding that thing somewhere. I don’t think that these speakers/the Bose system convert 2.0 content to 5.1. Whenever there is 2.0 audio, the speakers sound with a very low volume (to be solved with the tweak). 5.1&DobyAtmos are perfect Overall: Surround speakers are a must. These ones sounds great. After the tweak mentioned they will sound as loud as needed. I love the design, quality build and how sleek and minimalist they look. They are on the expensive side of the balance. I don’t think they are worth paying the retail full price but after a discount they are okay
