It includes the Music Studio 7 (LS70H) and the Music Studio 5 (LS50H), and their sound, sleek design, and modularity immediately reminded me of Sonos&#8217; Era 300 and Era 100.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Samsung&#8217;s speakers feature a simple form with a concave dish shape and a dot at the center. I like the design because it has a distinct yet look. While the Music Frame Bluetooth speaker blends in with your surroundings, the Studio 7 and Studio 5 have a timeless appeal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ces-2026-live-updates-1-5-26\/\">CES 2026 news: Live updates on TVs, smart glasses, robots, and more we&#8217;ve seen so far<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Samsung, &#8220;Each model shares a timeless dot concept by renowned designer Erwan Bouroullec, inspired by a universal symbol in music and art \u2014 and grounded in the Samsung signature aesthetic.&#8221; For context, Bouroullec has worked with Samsung before on the Serif TV.<\/p>\n<p>The Samsung Music Studio 7 is the more premium speaker and features a 3.1.1-channel spatial audio speaker configuration, providing left, center, right, and upfiring speakers. It is compatible with audio playback at up to 24-bit\/96kHz resolution, and also supports Spotify Lossless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/home-entertainment\/lg-sound-suite-speakers-dolby-atmos-flex-ces-26\/\">LG&#8217;s new Dolby Atmos system promises immersive sound no matter where your speakers are<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you already have a Wi-Fi-compatible Samsung soundbar or TV, you can connect the Music Studio 7 as a rear speaker to your setup. The company states that you can now connect up to five speakers to a TV (no soundbar required), or have up to 10 units of these speakers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large c-shortcodeImage-hasCaption\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1280\/718.7987987987988;\"><!----> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"Samsung Music Studio 7 in a living room space.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"718.7987987987988\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/><\/picture><\/div><\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_caption g-inner-spacing-right-small g-color-black\">\n<div class=\"c-ShortcodeContent\">\n<p>My hands-on session was in a small space but the speakers were promising, nonetheless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Prakhar Khanna\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I received a hands-on demo with four Music Studio 7 speakers connected to a Samsung TV, and I was impressed by their sound quality. While there&#8217;s no Dolby Atmos support, this system was equally immersive. The sound moved in sync with the on-screen objects, and I could hear it seamlessly transition from one direction to another.<\/p>\n<p>The four Music Studio 7 speaker setup had noticeable depth in lower frequencies, delivering a mighty response for its size. I would still prefer to add a sub if I&#8217;m using these as my home theater system, but the bass was rich and clear. Samsung hasn&#8217;t announced the price yet, so I&#8217;m unsure if purchasing four of these instead of a soundbar and two Studio 7 speakers makes sense. However, I&#8217;d consider that setup if I need a surround sound experience without a soundbar.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large c-shortcodeImage-hasCaption\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1280\/718.9787234042553;\"><!----> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"Samsung Music Studio 5 on a table.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"718.9787234042553\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/><\/picture><\/div><\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_caption g-inner-spacing-right-small g-color-black\">\n<div class=\"c-ShortcodeContent\">\n<p>The Samsung Music Studio 5 has a more playful design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Prakhar Khanna\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As for the Samsung Music Studio 5, you get a smaller speaker with one 4-inch woofer, dual tweeters, and a built-in waveguide to enhance sound clarity and control dispersion. This is the same configuration that you&#8217;d get on the Sonos Era 100 and Move 2. While the Music Studio 7 supports Hi-Res Audio (up to 24-bit\/96kHz), the Studio 5 lacks Hi-Res Audio support.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/home-entertainment\/lg-wallpaper-tv-hands-on-ces-2026\/\">I saw LG&#8217;s ultra-thin OLED TV at CES 2026, and it made even last year&#8217;s models feel outdated<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I prefer Studio 5&#8217;s design &#8212; it looks modern and more playful compared to Studio 7, thanks in part to the colorful options, including Orange, Yellow, and Green.<\/p>\n<p>Both the Samsung Studio Bluetooth speakers feature an AI-powered Dynamic Bass Control to minimize distortion.
