Sound...everywhere
on November 22, 2015

Brilliant design, intuitive features, extremely advanced, easy to use. Pairs with a smartphone making using it a snap. The quality of sound is surprising for its size and you can truly hear everything...everwhere. Plays loudly with no distortion. Multiple units can be used in different rooms. I use mine for two channel stereo--old school paired with the latest tech. I love my Radiant 360 R1. (Available in R3 and R5 sizes).
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this speaker. Set up is easy, sound is great, and product design is awesome!! Took no time for set up, downloaded app, and wow music filled the room with pure elegant sound. Couldn't believe the quality of sound out to this speaker. I ordered the hub and now will buy some more speakers to complete my multi-room. Go out an get this powerful little speaker. Way to go Samsung!!!!!
Pros: Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing sound!

These speakers have amazing sound loudness and quality. I was able to fill my entire loft with just one! Although you don't get the full experience unless you have multiple posted up around a room, which could get pricey, for movies and such. But if you're just looking to play music, one is more than enough!
Pros: loud, crisp, excellent bass
I would recommend this to a friend!

I like the sound that comes out of this radiant speaker; however, I cannot figure out how to get it to connect to my Samsung TV. In addition, the power cord slides out on its own regularly, which is frustrating.
Cons: Poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great substitute for running a lot of wires

R1 Speakers sound and look nice and the app seems quick and responsive. A great system for synchronized background music throughout the place.
Disappointed the advertised compatibility with Amazon music doesn't include Amazon music prime membership. You can only listed to songs you've uploaded or purchased but not the Amazon music streaming library you get through paying for amazon prime membership. I don't want to pay for some other streaming service when already paying for amazon. Misleading compatibility.

Great Sound!, Good software (finally), Poor TV compatibility

I have been using it for almost a year now.
Important things - Best parts:
- The speaker sound quality is great.
- The ability to connect to my wifi network and stream my music from my home media server, and 3rd party music services is awesome. This is much better than Bluetooth connectivity, (which it also has, and I use sometimes) because bluetooth streaming requires another device to remain in range providing the sound source, and also some of my Bluetooth audio sources (like my phone) noticeably decrease the sound quality.
- The latest versions of both iPhone & Android software is reliable, full featured, and reasonably intuitive.

Important things - Not so great:
- It doesn't connect to my Samsung TV, as advertised.
... okay, reading the fine print, only "compatible TVs" support the Sound Connect feature. I'm currently in the market for another TV, and I would love one that is compatible, but can't find a list from Samsung of which TVs are compatible. Reviewing individual models, it looks like very few are?
- I wouldn't recommend buying this with the expectation of using it with a TV, unless you do your research very well ahead of time on both devices' capabilities.

Minor things:
Good: I think it looks cool!
Bad: Some of the 3rd party music providers have limitations that make them functionally useless for streaming over wifi to this device. This is not Samsung's fault, except for the marketing expectations.
Bad: Setup, and re-setup has been non-intuitive.
Bad: (Historical) - Past versions of the software were buggy and very non-intuitive. (Grrr!, but thanks for fixing.)

Am I satisfied with this product? - Yes, pretty much.
Would I buy this again? - Not at last year's price-point, but I would at this year's price point.
