In addition to its annual soundbar updates, Samsung launched two new home speakers at CES 2026. The Music Studio 5 and 7 are Bluetooth and Wi-Fi units designed to blend into your decor with their minimalist looks. They certainly don’t look like your typical speakers, and Samsung has packed them with features that it says will ensure optimal sound quality from all of them.
The Music Studio 5 features a four-inch woofer and two tweeters, as well as a sound profile powered by AI Dynamic Bass Control. The design is an interesting interaction between a circle and a square, but the speaker delivers clear, crisp sound, even in the roar of a CES demo area. The Music Studio 5 will also be available in a handful of colors, which could give a shelf some pop. Controls line the top edge, including one-touch access to Spotify.

If you’re looking for something more robust, the Music Studio 7 is a 3.1.1-channel unit capable of four-way spatial sound and high-resolution listening. Samsung claims you can listen to music at 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 on the 7 than on the 5. The various control buttons here are also up top, positioned near the front of the speaker for easy access.
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 in which Samsung used four Music Studio 7 units in a makeshift home theater. This combo offers great immersion, with lots of detail in the directional sound of clips broadcast on the connected TV. Samsung also says you can use up to 10 Music Studio speakers for audio only.
The company hasn’t announced any pricing details yet, but that will likely come just before the Music Studio speakers become available for purchase. This date is also to be determined.
