For years, Samsung has made products that try to camouflage what they are by displaying works of art. The Frame TV<\/a> is the most famous example, but the company also released the Music Frame<\/a>, a speaker disguised as a picture frame, at last year\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to Samsung, the Music Studio line of speakers, debuting at CES 2026, draw inspiration from the \u201ctimeless dot concept\u201d 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sometimes these aesthetic-first speakers forget about the most important part of a speaker \u2014 its sound quality. But Samsung has done an impressive job over the past few years with its audio tuning which makes me optimistic for the Music Studio\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
