According to our WiFi speaker expert
With the Samsung R1 WAM1500, everyone in a small room hears the same, clear sound. This speaker uses Ring Radiator Technology, which allows it to fill every corner of the room with sound. This is useful if you want to place the speaker in the center of a circle. Connect multiple speakers to each other via WiFi and create a stereo pair or multi-room setup. With the Samsung app, you control all the settings. You can send music to a specific speaker or have all the speakers play the same song at the same time.

I've had two Samsung M5s (WAM551) in the dining room for about half a year now, and I'm very satisfied with them. I also wanted a (small) speaker in the bedroom, so the WAM1500 was a logical choice. And I certainly don't regret it!
The speaker looks super sleek and feels solid. Connecting to my existing network was done within 3 minutes; plug in the socket, connect, done! Via the Multiroom app you can then give the speaker a name and connect it to other speakers as a multiroom or stereo, for this you need the corresponding Multiroom HUB, otherwise the speaker only works stand-alone. I hardly use the Multiroom app in practice, after the initial setup and adjustment you can also easily switch speakers via the Spotify app. Your phone or tablet does not even have to be connected to the same network as the speakers.
Where the M5s sound a bit shrill as a stand-alone, the WAM1500 does not suffer from this due to the 360-degree setup of the woofer and the tweeter. The sound is nice and full and the bass is nice and low. An improvement in all respects compared to the earlier Multiroom speakers from Samsung, whose price-quality ratio in my opinion was already better than that of the competition.
As far as I'm concerned, I recommend it to anyone who, like me, wants to expand an existing Multiroom system, or is looking for an excellent first WiFi speaker.

Good experience. Easy to operate for me. I took the samsung to work in the beginning. I work at a BSO (out-of-school care). Children also find it easy to operate. The enthusiasm was so great at the Nursery that we were also allowed to purchase a Samsung speaker from my branch manager 👍🏻 Now I leave my speaker at home.

The Samsung R1 WAM 1500 looks very nice. Linking to WiFi/Bluetooth via the Samsung Multiroom works very well. Operating via the Samsung Multiroom of Spotify (only via Spotify Connect, then you must have a Premium subscription) and TuneIn Radio (can only be done with a Premium app) works perfectly. The power connections on the side of the box are good. It's a pity they don't have batteries, but it's all well described on the Coolblue site, so they know what they're getting into!
I bought two boxes to connect to a Samsung Smart TV UE40H6240AW for better sound. It didn't work for me at first, but after a bit of research I succeeded. It is definitely an extension to your Smart TV and the sound is perfect! It is a pity that the Smart TV sometimes has some problems. This is certainly not due to the R1 boxes.
In short, it is recommended! Perfect sound (360 degrees), design and connectivity.
