"For years, Samsung has made products that try to camouflage what they are by displaying works of art. The Frame TV is the most famous example, but the company also released the Music Frame, a speaker disguised as a picture frame, at last year's CES. Now, instead of hiding a speaker with a piece of art, Samsung worked with designer Erwan Bouroullec to make a speaker into a piece of art."
"According to Samsung, the Music Studio line of speakers, debuting at CES 2026, draw inspiration from the "timeless dot concept" found throughout music and art. As a musician, the Music Studio 5 reminds me of a fermata, the symbol meant to hold a note or silence. It has a 4-inch woofer and dual tweeters with built-in waveguide."
"The larger Music Studio 7 is a 3.1.1-channel speaker that can be used on its own, in a pair for wider stereo sound, or with compatible Samsung Wi-Fi speakers, soundbars, or TVs using the company's Q-Symphony technology. The Studio 7 is capable of playing high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/96kHz, and it and the Music Studio 5 use AI Dynamic Bass Control to extend bass response."
Samsung collaborated with designer Erwan Bouroullec to create the Music Studio speaker line that emphasizes sculptural form and a "timeless dot concept" inspiration. The smaller Music Studio 5 evokes a fermata and includes a 4-inch woofer and dual tweeters with a built-in waveguide. The larger Music Studio 7 is a 3.1.1-channel speaker usable solo, in stereo pairs, or integrated with compatible Samsung Wi‑Fi speakers, soundbars, or TVs via Q‑Symphony. The Studio 7 supports high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/96kHz. Both models use AI Dynamic Bass Control to extend bass response, and recent Samsung audio tuning suggests solid sound performance.
