Today, Samsung launched the Music Frame wireless speaker in India. The speaker was launched alongside the company's 2024 TV lineup but isn't available for pre-order or purchase yet. While the speaker's pricing has been revealed, Samsung is mum about its availability in the Indian market.
Music Frame pricing in India
In India, the Music Frame (HW-LS60D) wireless speaker is priced at INR 29,990 ($358). It has been listed on Samsung India's website, but the website says it is currently out of stock. Since Samsung hasn't launched its 2024 soundbar lineup in the country, it is possible that the Music Frame will be launched in a few days alongside the company's new soundbars.
This speaker is bundled for free with some Neo QLED and OLED TVs from Samsung that were launched today.
Music Frame features
The Music Frame is Samsung's first wireless speaker with a completely different form factor. It resembles a real photo frame; you can even attach printed photos to it. You can even customize the frame's bezels to match your interior design preferences. Inside, it features a six-speaker system featuring two tweeters, two mid-range drivers, and two woofers. You can watch how it looks and sounds in our hands-on video below.
It features Active Voice Amplifier, Dolby Atmos (Dolby Atmos Music and Dolby Atmos), Dolby Digital Plus, Night Mode, SpaceFit Sound Pro (for automatic audio tuning as per the room's dimensions and placement of the speaker), and Voice Enhancer. It even features Wireless Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony 4.0. It can be connected wirelessly to a Samsung soundbar or TV for a more immersive audio experience.
The speaker features an optical port, Bluetooth 5.2, and Wi-Fi b/g/n. It also features wireless AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Roon Connect, Spotify Connect, and Tap Sound for audio mirroring. It can be controlled using Samsung TV's or soundbar's remote controller. It can be controlled using Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and SmartThings. It has a USB port on the rear, which can be used to connect the SmartThings Dongle (VG-STDB10A), making the Music Frame a Smart Home Hub that can control SmartThings and Zigbee devices.
Since it has built-in microphones, it supports Alexa and Bixby voice assistants.
Music Frame is ‘Roon Tested'
It is the first Samsung device with the ‘Roon Tested' tag, which means it works flawlessly with Roon. If you don't know what Roon is, it is an audiophile-grade music platform that integrates online and offline music. It supports Hi-Res Lossless music and advanced music routing features. Roon was acquired by Samsung a few months ago.
