Samsung R7 review

Distinctive wireless speaker has a presence, but it's not quite a sonic success...

Clear, weighty sound ; Clever, stylish design ; Great app ; Hi-res support

Soft, ill-defined bass ; Messy at high volumes ; Coarse treble

A stylish multi-room speaker that survives on features and software, but sound is its weak link

I Love This Speaker!!!!!!!

I couldn't get the speaker to work over my wireless network and the mobile app although would detect and speaker it would immediately un-detect it. I haven't given up so for now I am using the Bluetooth connection

Great sounds

The sound is as good as it was in store. I have an android phone and an iPad spouse has an iPhone and a newer iPad. All devices can control this item. It connects effortlessly to our 4K Samsung TV. We also have it networked into our wireless hard drive...

very nice

This speaker is very nice. Great sound with the capacity to add speakers on several rooms. The "radiant" capacity of the sound is very interesting and this add to the quality. On a first try, the app is a little complicated, but very powerfull....
