In addition to its annual soundbar updates, Samsung debuted two new home speakers<\/a> at CES 2026. The Music Studio 5 and 7 are Bluetooth and Wi-Fi units designed to blend in with your home decor thanks to their minimalist look. They certainly don\u2019t look like your typical speakers, and Samsung has packed them with features that it says will ensure optimal sound quality from each one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Music Studio 5 has a four-inch woofer and two tweeters, and a sound profile that\u2019s optimized by AI Dynamic Bass Control. The design is an interesting interplay between a circle and a square, but the speaker delivers crisp, clear sound \u2014 even in the roar of a CES demo area. The Music Studio 5 will also come in a smattering of colors, which could lend a pop to a bookshelf. Controls line the top edge, including one-touch access to Spotify.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for something more robust, the Music Studio 7 is a 3.1.1-channel unit that\u2019s capable of four-direction spatial audio and high-resolution listening. Samsung says you can enjoy tunes at up to up to 24-bit\/96kHz and the speaker can be used as part of a turntable setup. The sound here is more robust as I heard noticeably more bass from the 7 than on the 5. The various control buttons are up top here as well, positioned near the front of the speaker for easy access. <\/p>\n

You can also use up to four Music Studio speakers as a surround sound setup in your living room. I listened to a brief demo where Samsung was using four Music Studio 7 units in a makeshift home theater. This combo provided great immersion, with lots of detail in the directional sound in the clips being broadcast on the connected TV. Samsung also says you can use up to 10 Music Studio speakers for audio only.<\/p>\n

The company didn\u2019t announce any pricing details yet, but that\u2019s likely to come just before the Music Studio speakers are available for purchase. That date is TBD as well. <\/p>\n
