Samsung (Refurbished SWA-9500S/ZA Wireless Rear Speaker Kit w/Dolby Atmos for Soundbar Surround Sound Bundle with 2 YR CPS Enhanced Protection Pack (Renewed)

We have had surround sound TV at our home for many years. When we most recently replace our old TV and somewhat bulky AV system with a larger screen Samsung TV we simplified and shrunk the system when added in the Q 700A sound bar. I have been very happy with the original purchased TV and sound bar, but over the Christmas season I picked up this two-year warranty, refurbished set of speakers as I missed the full sound from our old system Some other reviewers seem to have difficulty connecting these speakers, but I made certain this set of speakers was compatible with my sound bar, and it took less than five minuted to unpack them and have them full operational. I am delighted with this purchase and the sound improvement for not a lot of money.

with volume maxed it, you can barely hear anything from 12 inches away.

The volume on the speakers are not the best compared to other speaker platforms.

They were just what was missing.

Just love these speakers. Easy hook up and sound great. Mine you that they only work with specific soundbars.

No matter what I do in the settings I cannot increase the volume of these rear speakers. These speakers are HORRIBLE and a complete waste of money. Save yourself the stress, and money, and DO NOT BUY!

I picked up a pair of the Samsung SWA-9500S Dolby Atmos Surround Speakers 35 watts per channel two weeks ago. I continue to be disappointed with Samsung because they neglect to implement the woofer/ tweeter configuration. Instead, they use full range speakers. In this case. the full range speakers that are used for the surrounds are acceptable. Since the grills are non-removable, I take a special light that penetrates the speaker grill and exposes the speaker driver for what it is. The Samsung surround speakers that I purchased back in 2020 (SWA-8500S), used a driver that represented a speaker that was installed in a Driver-in speaker, aka Cheap! The objective to a true Surround Sound experience is to have all speakers acoustically matched. I found a Dolby Digital Surround Test file on the internet, and when initiating the program, the SWA-9500S almost match the acoustics of the sound bar. Now let’s talk about the connecting cord length. It is ridiculous to supply only five foot electrical cord. Extra cord is required if you want to use a good set of speaker stands. Luckily, I was able to find 10- and 12-feet replacement cords. Where? On amazon of course! This length is acceptable for most A/V setups. I have read reviews where people have commented on the percentage of audio projected from the surround speakers, or the lack there of. I only noticed this while watching analog programing. Basically this would fall under the sub-stations of your local broadcasting channels. If you have OTA (Over the Air) this is most noticeable. To compensate for this loss, I set my Samsung sound bar to Virtual DTS-X. It raises the audio sound in all nine channels (speakers) 7 decibels. I disable this feature when watching true digital material. Because if I do not, the rear channels overpower the sound bar. Since I have my speaker close to the viewing area, this is most noticeable. However, if you have your speakers mounted on the wall overhead, you my find it beneficial to leave the Virtual DTS-X enabled. Now with that said, keep in mind that the surround channel (speakers) only output background sounds. People appear to confuse this with quadraphonic sound. Where the sound comes from the speakers equally. The only time you should hear an actors voice in the surround channels if they are out of view of the camera. For example, In Hocus Pocus, where the camera is set on the main characters in the grave yard, and the witches are flying overhead and yet not visible in the scene. You will hear them cackling in the surrounds. For the first time ever, yes, I would recommend this speaker set to others
