Samsung Music Studio Wi-Fi speakers will support voice assistants

There's barely a mention in Samsung's press kit, but booth attendants assured us Music Studio 5 & 7 speakers support Alexa, Google Assistant, and Bixby. Samsung has dabbled in the smart speaker space before, but the company's all-new Music Studio 5 and Music Studio 7 Wi-Fi speakers pose serious competition for the likes of Amazon, Apple, Bose, and Sonos--at least at the higher-end of the market. Unveiled this week at CES and planned for a March release, both models present a distinctively modern, "dot-faced" industrial design by noted French artist Erwan Bouroullec, along with some equally interesting features destined to set them apart from the pack. Initial shipments will be in black or white only.)
