@@mikehenkes YUP YUP

HT-A9 are bigger and better. Its a complete 360° audio system of 4 speakers. SA-RS5 are just complementing the sound bar. HT-A9 has better 360°audio than a soundbar.

@@mikehenkes THEY BROKE UP 💔

They want you to buy another speaker. A stand-alone Bluetooth speaker🥲

I disagree, Sony did nail it those are the reason I like the Sony. I’m not taking my speakers out of my living room nor do I need to, and honestly you don’t need the Rs3’s this system is ridiculous as it is I don’t want speakers or wires all over the place it’s unnecessary with the Sony.

@@fiscustom5893 AGREE A7000 IS OUTSTANDING HAS IT IS...🐐

I completly agree with the adding the functionality for side speakers. The rs3 or even the rs5’s would be insane. It would truly be a full 360 at that point. With the rs5 being fully wireless it’s definitely an L not being able to add side speakers. I feel like this is defiantly possible with a update.

I agree 100%. Now Sony let me add another SW5 💪

A7000 + RS5 + SW5 = GOAT SOUNDBAR 🔥🔥🔥

I can't wait to get mine. I just ordered my RS5s 😊

You can't use both the rs3's and the rs5's at the same time and they are not compatible with the ht a9.

Gonna get this and the sw3. Already have the A7000.

I am planning on getting these when they are available in the UK.

What content did you watch? I’m underwhelmed so far.

@@JeremyYost you using a Sony tv ? I’ve had zero issues with mine. Everything sounds unreal. We watched Ambulance the other night and I thought I got shot 🤣. Using 360 for everything on Cinema I keep my bass low (on the remote) as it’s really loud the more you crank up the system, with the rears all the way up. I can turn that shit up till it breaks a window. My living room is 24x28 we sit in the middle for the most part, the sub and rears are 28ft from the sound bar in the back of the room. The sound bar puts out some bass so it’s pointless to have it close to the sub in my opinion. I hear shit coming from every angle, it’s funny watching my girl jump out of her seat when the movie gets good.

It’s like they’re not loud enough for me. I have them all the way up and it’s like I barely hear them. I have the LG G1, Sony hta 5000 soundbar, the sw5 wireless sub. The soundbar and sub are fantastic but the rear speakers just don’t hit enough honestly.

Might as well give me a second SW-5 at same time 😁. That would be sweet!

would love for them to make an update for that

but then how you charge them do you need to take them off the wall and put them is some spot to charge them ??

@@BenSaada-ww4tb yes you have to plug them back up to charge them. I leave the cords plugged up next to my couch and just set them on the end tables beside my couch to charge them and still use them at the same time.

Sounds awesome man 👍

I think you'll really enjoy that system. Honestly one of my favorite setups as of now.

@@JonahMatthes can i get a tease on how you feel this system with new 360 audio firmware update compares to the ht-a9 system? (Not that it really matters at this point that i am pot committed haha)

Are you located in the US? Are the RS5S available there already?

@@HulianFernando i am in the US. I pre-ordered, but released today 5/13

I think that answer is coming in a future video

@@XzAeRosho so have to wait till then to buy a system ?

the 7000 with the rears and sub are the way to go. I returned the a9. No dedicated center really kills the system

@@MasterEggroll the best would have been to have HTA9 With the A7000 as center Channel 😂 most expensive set up but the best

​@@mikecarlini34​​A3000 as centre for a9 maybe?

@@arjundoney4100 HTA 7000 sorry mistake 😁

@@mikecarlini34 no im just asking if A9 be paired with A3000

Did the feature come yet? Is it planned? Any announcement from Sony?

Wondering this too

Sony certainly reads all of these posts and they know that customers want increased/expanded functionality with their existing wireless speakers. Sony is perfectly positioned as a company to add a great deal of new portable/multi-use functionality and utility to their existing lineup of products. And, they could do that in a way that let them not only compete directly with Sonos in multi-room the wireless home audio, but also step significantly above and beyond what Sonos is offering in terms of product flexibility. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see Sony do exactly this here in the next year or two. They have all the tools they need in place now to make a major push in exactly this direction - and I certainly hope they do!

If you could use them as portable music speakers they would never be Fully charged when you go to watch a movie .

For sure, that's Sony we're talking about

@@marcgarito2011 absolutely mate 👍👍

The RS3s and RS5s do not play together. The system will only recognize one or the other. I went with the RS5s because i wanted the extra height channels (for enhanced 360 spacialsound), the higher watt speakers, and the flexibility to move the couch closer to the tv and easily move my surround channels with me for a more intimate date/movie night. I like the idea of the flexibility.

You won’t need them rs3’s. I was able to return mine and ordered the rs5’s when they were available for preorder and they are way louder, with the sound bouncing off the walls and ceiling being heard around you is real.

thank you for the advice. But I have no chance to return rs3’s or to change to rs5’s. this is the reason of my question

I just purchased the A95K 65” and am using it as the center channel along with the HT-A7000, SW5, and RS5. Zero complaints. Clean and tight bass without getting overly boomy. Vocals are clear and music sounds amazing!

how do you find the charging? Is it annoying to always have to charge them?

@easybucket7979 it's a bit annoying for me because I have mine wall mounted and I have to climb on some furniture to get them down so I can plug them elsewhere and get them charged so I guess it varies from person to person and how they have their set up but it's definitely not a deal breaker I get nice sound. From my experience they will last you about the entire day from morning to night full battery with max volume if left on all day but if you only use them for about 2 or 3 hours a day you'd probably only need to charge them every weekend

@@knightnight1354 cool, thanks for replying. I also plan on wall mounting, did it come with a bracket?

@easybucket7979 no bracket, the speakers have a removable cover on the back with 2 holes their is a yellow hole and another one below the yellow one, you want to use the one below the yellow one all you need is a sturdy screw that fits said hole, it's like mounting a framed picture so it's way easier than having to install brackets

@@knightnight1354 Nice, thank you a lot for the help. Going to buy them soon with my Ht-A5000. Been hearing nothing but great reviews about them.

In my opinnion, this 5 expensive soundbar sets like sony,bose,sonos and samsung all have great things and have their weakpoints. But an classic onkyo amp with a couple wired speakers made from wood and wheight 20kg each always sounds a 1000 times fuller and better and you always get dissapointed if you choose a plastic soundbar over them. I had alot. Onkyo pioneer and sony amps with wired bose speakers, wharfedales, Hk audio , even sonyspeakers 5.1 set and they al sounded better then the sonos arc set and bose set. I must admit the bose 700 is a beast of a sub . Sad you cant choose the bose 900 with sub and pair a couple of sonos era 300 speakers. Then it would come close to a classic wired big amp soundsystem

The 7000 is a beast at the moment. I regret buying the Rs3s rears, so i recommend getting the 7000 plus sub now and wait for the new rears

Hi same problem for me.. Have you found some solution for that? Its frustrating

Since price wise (at least here in Europe) they're in the same range a comparision between the 7000 + Sub + RS5S and the A9s might finally lead to a decision for me as since i can't decide either and i don't want to regret my decision. So hopefully Jonah finds time to compare both setups.

@@khabo1611 I had the A9 and returned it. The lack of a dedicated center channel was the reason I sent it back. I have the 7000 with the sub and rs5s now. I think I am going to keep it. For me it sounds better than the A9 due to the center channel. also the sound bubble is about the same with the new rears. I will say the a9 had this bass to it with the sub. You still get that with the 7000 but it was a tad bit better on the a9. the dialog is great on the 7000. You can hear all the voices without any problems. the a9 struggled in some areas with this. Also any sounds that are front heavy the A9 just didn't have that pop to it like the 7000 has. Sony should just combine the a9 and 7000 together so they can play together. that would be awesome! If you do get the 7000 you definitely have to get the rear speakers and sub.

@@MasterEggroll Thanks for the insight, when you returned the a9 have you returned the sub as well? Since you mentioned the lack of Base adding a sub might be the way to go. But if the Soundbubble what I am mainly aiming for is the same this is a no brainer then.

@@khabo1611 no I kept the sub and got a discount from best buy for 100 and 100 off the bar. The sub is good. I meant the a9 bass is better than the 7000 bass. Everything else is better on the 7000 though.

There available now ☺️

Works flawlessly. Not as integrated as full Sony setup but no issues.

No i don't believe you can

Did you finally go for the RS5s, and if yes were you able to notice any value addition? My ceiling height is 16 feet so intrigued!

@@anandsjha I just bought and installed them a couple days ago. No improvement to the spatial audio and they’re quieter than I’d expected. But, if you install them low and close enough they’re great. Not only does it at least create a 2D surround sound, it opens up the stage on the sound bar itself considerably. So I still don’t get 3D surround but it sounds awesome.

600$*

The HT A7000 is the new sound bar. What do you mean??

@@ARIN4UK forgot the name of the new sound bar

I solved this problem by leaving the sar5 wired instead of usinh them wireless

That's what I'm wondering. One thing for sure is that the Q990B will be a better bang for your buck. The Sony's will probably end up being twice the price with the sub.

This will be a good comparison!

Make sure you went through all the setting, theres a bunch to adjust and there is volume buttons for the rears and subs on the remote. Also make sure your tv is newer with at least Dolby Plus and you have 360 mapping enabled in the sound settings.

@@fiscustom5893 Thanks for the hint. Please let me explain what happened in detail. I have a sony A90J oled tv (2021), ps5, and sony A7000 sound bar. ps5 in connected to the sound bar (using pass through) and sound bar to TV with eARC hdmi. Every thing is perfect especially if you use a 3.5mm audio to use your tv as center channel. This option is available for sony master tvs. I added the SA-RS 5 rear speaker to have a better surround and 360 spatial experience. Optimization took 30 seconds and I was able to hear from rear beeps sound during calibration clearly. Then I tried netflix with dolby atmos movie and surprisingly, very low (almost nothing) from rear speakers. Then I tried a blue ray 4k disk and same thing. Here is the list I did: 1. disconnect ps5 from soud bar and connect it directly to TV. nothing! I just have VRR now because sound bar can't support it yet. 2. make sure are setting are correct such as volume setting on rear speaker, turn off dcr and dsee (if I am not wrong), change location of speakers, increase level of DB to 6 (in this case I was able to hear something from speaket if I place my ear close to the up-firing speaker,.... 3. reset entire system still nothing. As I mentioned before, sony accepted an exchange. SORRY FOR THE LONG STORY!

I don't have an answer aside from look in the advanced options in the setup menu. Mine turn on when I turn on the TV.

@@marcodermody5236 would you mind telling me what advance settings you used for them to turn on and off with the tv remote?

HDMI settings

Depends on if you using them completely wire free vs ac plugged in . If your using them running on the battery im not sure if they will turn back on with the tv .

I had to move my router and Wi-Fi modem to another room they can’t be near any speakers. Also if anything is blocking the Wi-Fi path from the speakers to the sound bar you will get connection problems. My rears are 28ft away from the sound bar and I have no connection issues but if I stand directly in front of one of the rears I can hear the them dropping in and out

@@fiscustom5893 what about the power? Do you have to manually turn your rears back on every time? Thanks.

@@SuperHawkeye420 nope. As long as they are plugged in they come on like the sub does soon as I turn on the tv.

@@SuperHawkeye420 make sure you have the sound bar set to go into standby and not power completely off, that gave me issues. Now when I turn my tv on sound goes straight to the sound bar and not toggle between tv speakers then sound bar

You have to go into the speaker settings on the soundbar and you can raise the DB levels on them. You have to do that otherwise they sound really weak out of the box. Some people say if you change this though you’ll lose the upfiring atmos affect.

@@patrickjw333 I did that already, and set them to max volume, and they're still pathetic.
