Samsung’s Music Frame makes audio look as good as it sounds

When you initially cast a peek at the Music Frame, you believe, “Huh. That looks quite cool.” And it does, due to the fact that it’s a quite modern-looking image frame. And due to the fact that Samsung is revealing it off at CES 2024 in Las Vegasit has some quite classy art tucked within. Switch on some noises– be it music, or standard audio from a television program or motion picture– and you believe, “Huh. That image frame sounds quite cool, too.”

Which, in a nutshell, is the Music Frame. It’s an essential Samsung item, and quite the sort of thing that makes CES such an enjoyable (if not constantly useful) location to release brand-new items. To be clear, the Music Frame does precisely what it professes to do — live together with The Frame tv, which is suggested to make a conventional television more of a piece of art. The Music Frame extends that values to cordless speakers, whether you have them combined to a television as front or surround speakers, or if you’re simply utilizing it standalone as a Bluetooth- or Wi-Fi-enabled speaker.

Well, they’re cordless insofar as they do not need any speaker wire, as you ‘d anticipate in 2024. These are still powered speakers, and that implies they’ll need a power cable television. And a source of power with which to power them. Which indicates that unless you’re doing some major remodellings or dealing with brand-new building and construction, you may not get rather the exact same sort of smooth setup as what Samsung had on hand here in Las Vegas.

It’s worth attempting, due to the fact that the Music Frame speakers are quite ingenious in their own. They look actually cool. They sound respectable. (How well they withstand more standard home theater speakers will need much better screening than what we can do in loud interview environments.)

As a photo frame, they’re still quite thick– about a couple inches. That didn’t turn them into eyesores, whether they were installed on a wall, with the power cable television skillfully concealed away, or set down atop a pedestal or end table, with the cables tucked away through more standard cable television management.

And it’s worth keeping in mind that these are not digital photo frames. While that ‘d be cool, it ‘d likewise include a quite significant layer of intricacy for completion user, to state absolutely nothing of including much more tech into the square bundle. You’re going to desire to take care to have something that looks excellent, and not simply a washed-out Instagram-style post. And to that end, Samsung likewise showed some full-bleed images that actually looked cool, together with smaller sized images with matte borders.

What we do not have yet is any sort of concept of what it was expense. You have to envision that if you’re the sort that’s going to rig up a fleet of Music Frames in your well developed home (most likely matched with The Frame, to match), you’re not going to quibble too much over the expense. If you desire a single Music Frame (or even a couple) to serve as standalone-style speakers? Let’s hope things do not peak at more than a couple hundred dollars. Stay tuned for that, however, along with any sort of date regarding when the Music Frame will be offered.
