Samsung Music Frame review: Beautiful sounds
The Samsung Music Frame offers impressive audio for a speaker that looks like a picture frame, and that is entirely the point.

I went on holiday back in July and the AirBNB we stayed in had an Ikea Symfonisk wall speaker mounted in the bar area. I was maybe a little overexcited by this discovery, as I love my Sonos ecosystem of speakers, and had looked at the Symfonisk as a way to expand my home’s sound previously.
It was solid on the audio front, but it felt like only half an idea executed. The lack of customisable front plates meant you had to buy in to Ikea’s design ethos, and while Ikea is versatile, black and white images of horses aren’t exactly what I want on my wall.
So the chance to check out Samsung’s Music Frame speaker over the past month has really highlighted the potential of this kind of speaker form factor.
Samsung has created a really solid sounding speaker that can be customised to suit your art styling. It’s a bit too locked into Samsung’s ecosystem for my tastes, but if you can get past that, it’s a great way to add awesome audio to your home without filling your shelf space with bulky speakers.
