Samsung SWA-9200S Wireless Rear Speaker Kit, Upgrade Soundbar System to True Surround Sound Experience, 2022

I order these 9200S rear speakers with the Samsung Sound Bar HW-B650 set. They came in different packages on different days but other than that no problems. They paired easily as did the sub. Make sure you buy as the set if you expect to get everything. Someone said they don't pair with the HW-B550 or 650's and that's incorrect. If you go to Samsungs website and look up the rear speakers, it clearly states every soundbar that they pair with. The info on Amazon is not 100% up to date and for some reason say otherwise, but I assure you they do. You have full control of the rear speakers volume and there are many settings for different modes of sound. I like the DTS option the best. DTS gives the rear speakers the most bang for the buck when it comes to volume and theater sound. I highly recommend buying a good quality 2.1 HDMI Cable, as this makes a difference as well. We purchased a Monster Gold Cable and love it. Worth the 70$. The only problem I have had so far is not being able to update the firmware. I made sure to unzip the file before loading it on a blank memory stick and actually the soundbar started to download the file, but then stopped and said no data. I tried several times, followed all the steps into he manual, and even tried multiple sticks to no avail. I will be calling support next to see what other options there are and will update this if I figure it out and actually see a difference. I'm curious if there is actually a difference in sound or anything else or if it's a waste of energy. All in all, this is a very good system for the money. It immediately pairs to my Smart Things App and with the ARC HDMI to my TLC Roku TV, it immediately synced without doing anything and can control he soundbar bar by the Roku remote. I give it 8 out of 10. The only reason it doesn't get a 10 is the sub could be a but louder. I'm a little spoiled from my old Polk Audio Soundbar4000. The soundbar & sub were absolutely insanely loud. As we all know, loud doesn't necessarily mean great sound. The Samsung system has great crisp sound, very clear, nice deep bass and does thump. Just doesn't rattle the windows. I would highly recommend for under 400$ all day long.

Size is perfect, sound quality is good for a smaller rear surround speaker. It added another dimension to my sound. Great value. Super easy to setup. Volume is as it should be for surrounds. I don’t regret the purchase. I wish my soundbar was compatible with the surrounds with height/atmos but probably don’t need it. Go for it if you like true surround sound.

1. If you look up reviews for this product, for some reason you will find a different product with the same designation that has a separate, large central bluetooth receiver that both speakers connect to. However, this product has the bluetooth receiver integrated into one of the speakers. I'm assuming the difference must be in the "2022 model" from the title, but it's still very confusing having a product with the same alphanumeric designation but a different configuration. I'm not complaining since this is a lot more convenient.2. The Amazon page seems to have different information when it comes to compatibility than Samsung's website (the Amazon page didn't include my HW-B650 sound bar, but the Samsung page did). This possibly further complicates item #1 since I wasn't sure which type of SWA-9200s my sound bar was compatible with or if there was even a difference. Fortunately, it worked perfectly.3. We had a slight problem where there was no sound coming out of the non-receiving speaker at first, but this was because one of the wires wasn't seated properly. You have to have it in just the right spot (neither in or out too far). Unfortunately, the wires can also get ripped out easily if you strain the speaker too much while moving it around, but after you get the wire seated properly and the speaker mounted where you want it to be, you shouldn't have anymore problems.4. The sound quality is fine, but keep in mind that this is only meant to provide atmosphere. As other reviews have pointed out, they're kind of quiet on their own. After switching my sound bar from "Surround Sound" to "DTS: Virtual X", however, I was very pleased to find an increase in volume that seems to complement the sound bar's front audio much better. Still, I don't know if this is $150 worth of sound. I managed to snag it on a discount around the holidays, so maybe wait for a sale.

The media could not be loaded. Bought my soundbar a few years back to replace my old samsung Blu-ray 5.1 home theater system. The soundbar alone (samsung) was an upgrade to be honest but after sometime something was missing. Enter these little bad boys, at first I was on the fence on buying these expandable speakers for my samsung soundbar. Shuffling through tons of reviews on Amazon and outside of Amazon, I noticed mixed feelings which in turn made me hesitate on buying these but boy am I glad I did. They work great. Connectivity was honestly pretty easy, just make sure you have your original soundbar remote. The guide included is straightforward, you press here, do this here and bam. Regarding the sound being too low on the wireless speakers, it's all about the settings. I went and played around with my soundbars audio setting and changed them to (surround sound or vtx virtual) those allow for the extra speakers to sound, to go even further you could change the db sound output from center to rear if you adjust this on the soundbar menu. All in all, once I figured out the settings it was now time to rock out and shake the floor, literally. I highly recommend 👌.
