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.
