Rocketfish SG_B07KSGYFX3_US Surround Sound System Review
Our verdict
The Rocketfish SG_B07KSGYFX3_US is a wireless-first 2.0 system that keeps the cable count low, though its 5 W power rating limits it to quiet room use. At $184.99, the pricing feels stretched for what the specs describe.

593 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other AV receivers and amplifiers, soundbars, home theater speakers, subwoofers, surround sound systems and Blu-ray players we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Rocketfish is Best Buy's in-house brand, and the SG_B07KSGYFX3_US positions itself as a wireless convenience play. Bluetooth connectivity means pairing with a phone, tablet, or TV is straightforward with no extra cables involved beyond power.
The 5 W power rating is very conservative. At under two pounds and with no listed dimensions, this is clearly a compact unit, and the output level reflects that. This is background audio territory, not fill-a-room territory. For a desk or nightstand speaker in a quiet environment, that is acceptable. In a typical living room it will not compete with ambient noise.
With 593 reviews at 4.3 stars, the buyer response is reasonably positive for a Bluetooth convenience product. Those who rate it well are likely using it in the right context: close range, low-demand listening.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Rocketfish SG_B07KSGYFX3_US be used with a TV?
Yes, provided your TV has Bluetooth audio output enabled. Most modern smart TVs support Bluetooth speaker pairing through the sound settings menu. Older TVs without Bluetooth would need an external Bluetooth transmitter plugged into the optical or headphone output to make this work.
Is 5 W enough power for living room use?
Realistically, 5 W is on the low end even for a desktop speaker, and it is not enough to fill a typical living room at a comfortable volume. This system is best suited for small, quiet spaces like a home office or bedroom where the listener sits within a few feet of the speaker.
