Samsung’s New Wi-Fi Speaker Has Large Monolith Power

It’s not on daily basis {that a} widespread Wi-Fi speaker manages to pique your curiosity, however Samsung is at the very least attempting to spice issues up with its new Music Studio 5 and Music Studio 7.

Samsung’s new speakers, which will likely be showcased at CES 2026 in January, had been made in collaboration with French designer Erwan Bouroullec, who’s finest recognized for modern and minimalist work in inside design. In line with Samsung, the audio system each function a “timeless dot idea… impressed by a common image in music and artwork.” Whether or not it’s your factor is subjective, clearly, however I sort of dig it. Personally, I get extra monolith from 2001: A Area Odyssey vibes than something, although that’s most likely much less marketable than the “timeless dot idea.”

Samsung says the Music Studio 7 is its “most immersive mannequin” within the product sequence and comes with 3.1.1-channel spatial audio that you would be able to hear by the left, entrance, proper, and top-firing audio system. It has as much as 24-bit audio processing at 96 kHz, which ought to be sufficient for any hi-fi fanatic, and may be paired with different Samsung Wi-Fi audio system.

The Music Studio 5, alternatively, is “designed for properties the place aesthetic concord is as essential as sound,” in keeping with Samsung, which is its method of claiming that the gadget is somewhat smaller and fewer clearly a speaker. This speaker comes with a 4-inch woofer, two tweeters, and likewise (just like the Music Studio 7) has Samsung’s AI Dynamic Bass Management, which is supposed to reinforce low finish and decrease distortion.

Each audio system will have the ability to solid through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, they usually additionally assist voice management, which aren’t groundbreaking options by any means, however nonetheless good to know before you purchase.

These audio system are actually extra in regards to the look than something, although, and should you’re into minimalism, these may very well be the Wi-Fi audio system for you. If nothing else, these are undoubtedly going to be an alternate for any Sonos followers on the market who need to make a change for aesthetic or app-related reasons.

Whereas the Music Studio audio system are all in regards to the appears to be like, you’ll need to be okay with black since that’s the one shade they arrive in for now. There’s no phrase on pricing but, however I wouldn’t anticipate both speaker to come back low-cost. I assume we’ll have the total particulars on pricing and a launch date as soon as CES rolls round subsequent week, although.
