Great addition to the HW-N850 soundbar

Just bought this to complement my new HW-N850 which is a 5.1.2 Atmos capable system. As good as my soundbar is, it still lacks an immersive viewing experience. The HW-N950 has surround speakers and is a 7.1.4 system but costs about $400 more. This is how the SW-9000S presents itself. And since this model sells for an average price of $100 almost everywhere (in Revain below), the SW-9000S isn't difficult for my soundbar. Setup is very easy and there's no need to install the included N-Series…

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Disappointing hardware

SAMSUNG DOESN'T KNOW ITS PRODUCT

In most reviews the volume is too low. So I searched for a soundbar manual and a rear spkr kit manual called Samsung Support. An email where they both told me that there is NO WAY to control the rear speaker volume. Samsung doesn't know their products very well as there is a way Samsung should post as I'm sure a lot of these backplate kits got bad reviews and are probably back. Here's the FIX: Press the "Sound Control" button on the soundbar. Remote control. to turn on/off the rear speaker…

Pros
  • I'll keep my fingers crossed
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Great in the end once you know all the details

goes great with my Samsung soundbar. Not for others, listening wirelessly means you don't have to hook up the entire device to another surround sound or mixer/soundbar as it needs to be connected through your Samsung TV. the speaker needs cables from it to the main unit. As for me, I have wires in my walls running out from the living room, so I just had to slide the red and black ones to their backs. I then had to run cables from the back wall behind the TV to the main unit. **Please note that…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Not the best

Difficult to set up but once you see the quality

Wireless base, no speakers. But that was fine for my setup as I placed my speakers behind the couch where the cables to each speaker weren't visible. The management is absolutely terrible. Here are the keys to get these speakers working thanks to lots of Google searches. 1) Do not fully insert the speaker cords. The metal part should touch the clip. I learned it the hard way. It's very frustrating that they don't mention this in the instructions. 2) Turn off the Samsung Soundbar, then press the

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • I'm worried

I am very glad that I bought the SWA-8500S Wireless Rear Speaker Kit.

Complements the HW-MM55/ZA soundbar which I also own. I knew the kit wasn't completely wireless. The receiver module is wireless, but you need to connect two surround speakers with the included speaker cable. Speaker cables and receiver inputs are clearly marked. The receiver module is connected to the soundbar. The pairing process is as follows: The receiver module is connected and the LINK LED indicator flashes. The soundbar must be switched off. The instructions then say that you need to…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
