    I researched all of the multi room speakers online and in the stores. Because I purchased a Samsung TV and Soundbar it made sense to get the Radiant to go with it. There is a learning curve setting it up only because there are so many ways to do it. Once up and running it's great. Everything turns on and off from the tv remote. Single volume. Excellent surround sound whether watching a movie or streaming music.

    I purchased Samsung Radiant360 R5 Speaker to give us the surround sound, theater style. I had my speakers set up through wi-fi to my Samsung T.V., giving me the sound I was looking for. I now have it set-up through bluetooth. I love the sound these speakers give off. Just wish Samsung didn't change the multi-room app! I can play songs directly off my phone to the speakers!

    This Bluetooth speaker has excellent sound quality. I currently use it in my room and the sound quality suites the room just fine. I can not speak on the wi-fi features at this time (using just one) but I have not experienced any issue with the blue tooth. It was definitely worth it.

    Earlier I had purchased an R! and thought that a larger version would be good for my living room. This speaker has great sound and it could not be easier to use. Plug it in and connect with blue tooth or wi-fi. I am extremely pleased with this product and highly recommend it.

    Cons: setup can be anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 days. Firmware upgrades must be installed from a computer to a blank usb drive, then installed from the drive to the speaker. The primary control app is... temperamental. Sometimes it performs flawlessly, sometimes it decides you don't need main and primary features, sometimes it denies the existence of your speakers. Pros: using these speakers to augment surround sound is easy after setup. Grouping speakers together is easy. Ungrouping is easy. Controlling speakers together or independently is easy. There are hubs available, no longer on the market because they are unnecessary. The sound is beautiful. I possess no music that it cannot play better than 95% of other speakers. Everything is adjustable. Touch and no touch commands work correctly. They look elegant and punk, futuristic and retro, simplistic and overdesigned. They seem to look at home with most any decor. Why Samsung isn't continuing this system or these speakers is (honestly because no one wants to pay that much for them, especially when the app is so incomplete) incomprehensible to me. These speakers are best in places where people will be on all sides of them as Samsung really took the 360 part of the name to heart. There are no dead zones in the sound. Lacking such a place, corners seem to wrap the sound around you like a wave of audio. They have multiple ways of connecting to audio sources, WiFi, Bluetooth, soundconnect, and aux. These suckers take a bit of work and patience that is rewarded with high audio quality and volume. I think the only reason sonos is doing better is Samsung's poor marketing and the app. Why else would people pay more for lower sound quality and less functionality?

    My husband is a speaker/amp snob and he was pleased with the sound of this speaker. He is also a fan of Samsung so win-win.

    This speaker somehow has been left out of most reviews. The sound quality is incredible. Works best in open spaces- I have mine on a half wall between my kitchen and the family room. 360 degree speaker sounds great no matter what side you are facing. IMO better than sonos and Bose.

    This is a great speaker that has good sound and puts out a good amount of bass too. I have not tested its DNLA capabilities; however, that's not a concern for me. I use the app I downloaded from the market and connect via WIFI, using my ipad mini and my adroid phone. which reproduces the sound better than bluetoouth.. I use it with my bluetooh-enabled Samsung TV and computer desktop as well.

    After hooking speaker up, which was very easy, I started listening to a wide variety of music and compared it to my current speakers. This speaker is a dramatic improvement in sound and the 360 degree sound radiation gives a full range of quality sound that fills the room. The real plus is that I can walk about and always seem to be in the 'sweet spot'.

    This speaker sounds amazing! I've used it for soft rock hard rock talk radio and everything in between. It has an amazing sound and when you put it in the middle of the room it sounds the best. I highly recommended and the prices seem to keep coming down a little bit every couple of months.

    This is an awesome speaker!!! It fills the room with so much sound and is so clear. Very easy to pair up and start listening to. I would recommend this speaker for those that need a speaker that doesn't take up to much room and has awesome sound.

    Awesome sound, I haven't maxed it out yet but sound is crisp and projects nice and wide. My only regret is that there is no hdmi connection but having bluetooth and wireless makes up for it!

    I have been using the Samsung Shape multiroom speakers for some time now. I bought two of the 360 R5 speakers for front left and right. The sound is AMAZING, the setup, automatic!

    Great sound quality! Plenty of bass, but doesn't diminish the clarity. It can get very loud when you want or need it to. Love it, to say the least!

    R5 provides great sound with a very small footprint. the sound is very clear. does not .distort at reasonable volume levels. Also sound great when two or three combined and playing the same music in different rooms of the home. I love the whole house control feature. The Samsung R5 is very clear at multiple locations. of the room.

    It is easy to switch between my iPod and television and delivers great sound for both. You get the same great sound anywhere in the room.
