Are these better than SB Arena Surround?

I had a pair of SB Arenas before I got these and these are definitely a step up. The sound quality is better as well as the mic. The only thing I liked more about the Arena was the ability to pivot the mic up and out of the way without having to pull it off the headset, but that is far outweighed by these being wireless and having an amazing battery life.

To be honest, I wouldn't recommend this headset at all. I've bought two sets for my boyfriend in 6 months and both have had to be returned for replacements due to microphone issues. I ended up buying him a Plantronics set instead.

Yes, and yes. They work very well as rear surrounds. I've been very happy with mine.

I like them. But, I like them a lot better with a separate subwoofer. I have a theater set up with two sets of these and a Polk subwoofer. I do like my all-Polk system better, but it was also more expensive.

An equalizer will cover you- I am using onboard audio and these sound better than anything I've ever heard once you subdue the mids.

Not 100% sure. I did have to calibrate surround sound on these which i didn't have to with the other ones in my home.

The Energy Elite has better bass and clarity than the polk. When I used to work at Magnolia Home Theater in BestBuy, we would sell these sounds bars over the polk's in a demo every time. If you had to compare this sound bar to another one, it would be Bose not Polk.

yes and they sound great as well. I fully recommend them for the surround sound. I am using them as my fronts, rears and center channels. Sound Great.

If you have a good Quality surround receiver(Yamaha, Marantz, Onkyo ETC.), go ahead and use them with the receiver. It is designed to have a nice set of fronts. JIm

They definitely do sound better. It's like a richer and fuller sound. The difference in the lower frequencies can be heard most significantly. For sound quality, I recommend highly.

Really it depends on your system and what you want to do. But typical surround setup would require just one center speaker and that is what this is. Fantastic sound quality and output as well by the way. I know I ordered these for a friend and set this up along with a pair of the bookshelf speakers and they sound great. Now my setup also allows me to only use this center speaker alone and I could not believe the output by this one alone. Hope this answer helps you and good luck. I would highly recommend this to someone looking for good surround speakers and have the money.

They're overkill for sides. That being said, I have 4 of them, fronts and sides. Work great. Very very clear, great sound. Slick wall mount as well. If you're setting them on a shelf be aware that they could, in theory, get knocked over as they're only 5" deep.

these are designed for front and back channels. Would sound better if you had a center speaker. these make good surround sound speakers

I find that it adds more depth to the sound. I have the TV you described, and the bar gives a crisper more defined sound. It does not compare with my 7.0 surround system, but it is a very good alternative.

they will work, but they won't sound as good used as main ... intended as surrounds

If it's bass you want, theses are NOT the way to go. They are ok for maybe 7.1 surround but I would not use them as your main rear speakers.

for surround speakers these work great. I would not spend extra money. For front or main speakers you may want to invest in better bass response.

They are the best possibility in a price-performance relation. They were not intended as a part of a surround system of any kind, just a pair of fair stereo speakers, but they perform excellent and their sound is superb. I would strongly recommend them for your TV sound system.
