Samsung Shape M7: Samsung's sweet-sounding Sonos alternative

2014-02-19
hi I'm ty Pendlebury and this is the Samsung shape m7 wireless speaker do you have a dream of being able to listen to music in every room of your home to be honest I hadn't until I'd actually tried it but Samsung and a dozen other companies want to make someone's dream at least come true the 350 dollar Samsung shape m7 is the first in what the company says is a complete range of wireless music products from speakers to blu-ray players and is trying to beat Sonos at its own game the m7 is a large speaker which can be placed either vertically like this or horizontally and it can be combined with other speakers for stereo or even multi-channel sound the speaker can either connect to your router via Wi-Fi or to your phone or TV via bluetooth there is also a 3.5 millimeter input for other devices at the moment the speaker is controlled by an Android or iPhone remote only there's no PC or iPad functionality yet and it can serve up Pandora Amazon music and DLNA content generally using the app is fairly easy though playlists for example are very tricky you can't add Amazon songs or create playlists on the fly the speaker's big parlor trick though is its ability to work as a sound bar with the Bluetooth connection to Samsung TVs or via the auxilary if you have another brand and it works very well like this sound quality is actually quite good given the price with its largest size meaning it can deliver more bass than most equivalent Wi-Fi speakers it's more detailed than the Sonos play 4/3 for example and it can go pretty loudly without distortion as well only when you try putting 2 in stereo 2 the cracks show Samsung itself calls this a stereo effect and any other $700 stereo speaker when you counter the two speakers together will simply blow it away but if you're looking for a speaker that works well in the background with the promise of more products to come in the future then this is one of the best competitors sonĂ­s has seen yet this is type in your brief to see Netcom
