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

The media could not be loaded. 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!

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,BlackThe 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.

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.
