Overview
Adding surround and height behind the listening position, these Sony wireless rear speakers pair with a compatible soundbar to wrap sound around the room. Up-firing drivers and spatial mapping create phantom speakers behind and above the seats.
Immersive sound from behind and above is the point, with up-firing drivers, spatial mapping, an app and remote control, and wall or foot placement. The limitation is that they are add-ons only: they need a compatible soundbar and mains power, and the supported soundbar models are not named.
Who it's for
A living room with a compatible Sony soundbar and room behind the seating for two speakers, either on feet or on the wall. Buyers without a soundbar, or those wanting a standalone system, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Adds surround and height effects
- Wireless link to the soundbar
- Wall mount or feet placement
- App and remote control
- Needs a compatible soundbar
- Needs AC power
- Not water resistant
- Compatible soundbar models not listed
Performance notes
Up-firing drivers send sound toward the ceiling for height, and Sony says its Spatial Sound Mapping creates phantom speakers behind and above the listener. Results depend on the paired soundbar and where the rear speakers are placed, since both change how the room blends the sound. The listed output power sets how loud they can go.
