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

It’s not every single day {that a} widespread Wi-Fi speaker manages to pique your curiosity, however Samsung is not less than attempting to spice issues up with its new Music Studio 5 and Music Studio 7.

Samsung’s new speakers, which might be showcased at CES 2026 in January, had been made in collaboration with French designer Erwan Bouroullec, who’s greatest recognized for up to date and minimalist work in inside design. In keeping with Samsung, the audio system each characteristic 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 in all probability 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 may hear by means of the left, entrance, proper, and top-firing audio system. It has as much as 24-bit audio processing at 96 kHz, which must be sufficient for any hi-fi fanatic, and might be paired with different Samsung Wi-Fi audio system.

The Music Studio 5, alternatively, is “designed for houses the place aesthetic concord is as essential as sound,” in keeping with Samsung, which is its means of claiming that the machine is a little bit 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 reduce distortion.

Each audio system will be capable to forged by way of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, they usually additionally help voice management, which aren’t groundbreaking options by any means, however nonetheless good to know before you purchase.

These audio system are actually extra concerning the look than something, although, and in the event you’re into minimalism, these might be the Wi-Fi audio system for you. If nothing else, these are undoubtedly going to be another for any Sonos followers on the market who wish to make a swap for aesthetic or app-related reasons.

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