Samsung - Radiant360 R1 Speaker - Black

To be honest, when I returned home with this product I was thoroughly disappointed. One, the speaker was small, like an Amazon Echo, so I thought I might return it. Left it in the plastic unopened, but hooked it up to my phone via Bluetooth to see what it was made of. Two, I read online the subwoofer inside it is rated at 10 watts. However, after removing The super-tight plastic protective wrapping, the speaker came to life with lows, mids, and some highs. It is a good performing Bluetooth audio reproducing device. The Samsung MultiRoom app is nifty for tech geeks. The trick is, you have to buy two or three of these Samsung Bluetooth speakers to get surround sound. But if I wanted that...I'd buy Klipsch towers anyway. Most of the music I play sounds great through it. The volume (it is a radiating enclosure with the woofer down firing) is more than enough for my home needs.

My daughter loves this speaker for her room and it sounds good.

Overall this is a good Speaker for $89 sale price. Sound is great with low end coming through surprisingly well. You can test it in the store to be sure also. However! (-1 Star) I purchased 2 of these with primary goal to use as a wireless surround speaker (rear L/R position) for new basement completion. They ultimately do work. The Multi-channel system has little directions available on how to setup such a system. We spent hours working on the setup to get it right. It was very frustrating. It also disconnects and reconnects at every TV off/on. Separately: Samsung Multi-Channel Needs Update. There is ability to adjust multi-room speaker sound levels (to an extent). Would love to have more flexibility in changing the volumes and equalizer for the individual inputs, more like the traditional surround systems. Also the timing of the speakers relative to the soundbar (center). Since they are operating on Wi-Fi they do get uncoordinated from time to time on movies at about 0.5ms which will drive you crazy. Long story short, it works but there are some things that can be better. 2 speakers used with the following: TV: Model: UN65KS8000FXZASKU: 5065600 Soundbar: Model: HW-K650/ZA SKU: 4925400

Bought this to replace my old wired speakers for my Mac. Overall sound quality is great for my needs...which is mostly music or watching videos online. But I'm not sure if this would be a good speaker for your home theater. I also like the fact that you can pair more speakers for a surround sound effect. I may get a 2nd for my home office and also considering 2 more for the bedroom. I like the idea of 1 speaker on each nightstand so my g/f and I can adjust the volume independently. And we can get rid of the 30' of speaker wire in our bedroom too. All in all, this is a really good speaker if you aren't looking for really robust, dynamic sound. Perhaps its bigger counterpart would suit you better. But for anyone looking to improve their computer sound or maybe a speaker for in the kitchen or something, you can't go wrong with this one.

Set up well with the HW-H750 bar. Upon downloading the multiroom app, and once you're in the surround setting, you can adjust the volume of each rear speaker...pretty cool as I never feel surround speakers are loud enough. My setting is sound bar -6, surrounds are +6 Movies sound great! Some live music shows need to be adjusted due to delayed sound. I'd love to give this a 5...when it works, it is a 5! Much better price than Sonos, and has the same features. BUT, the speakers need to be reloaded to the app every so often...not sure why, which made me almost give this a 3 star.

in the age of wireless tech, and bluetooth that, Quality seems to be the only real barrier in this new world of products. And Samsung once again delivers, this speaker is a great tool with out looking like one, providing a full range sound in a small space. I also must compliment Best Buy Customer Service Dept. I had a problem and they were so kind and efficient in resolving it for me that I have No Complaints and that's a big deal for me not to complain. I only gave the speaker 4 Stars because it lacks Battery potability. I would have loved it more if there were an option to drop the cord and be totally wireless with just adding batteries or if there were an internal rechargeable battery pack. Well maybe that's the big save for the upgraded version and if so I be back in line to buy it also. Thanks Best Buy and Samsung you never disappoint.

I was looking for something to pair with my Samsung Soundbar for tv, movies and music. Unfortunately my Soundbar is one step below the model required to pair with the radiant 360 speakers. With that said, I still love this speaker at the clearance price of 71.99 and I’m considering getting another one or two of them to use around the house. The Samsung app is a little weird at times, but I can still enjoy Pandora or downloaded music from my phone. This speaker can be quite loud as well. I haven’t had a need to crank it up to 11 yet... even when taking it outside to do yard work.

Sound is good enough. Quality is good for what you expect from this size of speaker. My first surprise was that is does not has a battery. So you need a contact and is not totally portable. I thought it was. Another bad point is that volume from certain devices do not responde from Spotify app (iPad). And also the connection from this app to the R1 suddenly lost. Itunes works better with R1. Android Spotifi app seems to work better with R1. If you don't need a totally portable and play from Android is good enough. Thinks twice if is for IOS.
