Third-party reviews

What customers like about Samsung WAM750

  • Attractive and striking triangular design with functional dual-position layout (horizontal or vertical)
  • Rich and powerful room-filling audio output with an integrated 4-inch woofer
  • Versatile connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC pairing, and an Ethernet port
  • Accurate and clear midrange performance with support for high-resolution audio files
  • Seamless integration as rear wireless speakers with compatible Samsung TVs

What customers don't like about Samsung WAM750

  • Clunky, unintuitive, and sometimes unresponsive Samsung Multiroom companion app
  • Sound signature can feel overly bass-heavy and boomy, lacking finesse and high-end detail subtle nuances
  • Expensive price point compared to alternative wireless speakers
  • Requires purchasing an additional separate wireless hub for multi-room configurations
  • Lacks a true stereo imaging effect unless multiple units are explicitly paired
  • No built-in rechargeable battery, requiring a constant connection to a wall power outlet

Verdict

The Samsung Shape M7 (WAM750) is a wedge-shaped wireless home speaker featuring a 5-driver configuration with two 19mm silk dome tweeters, two 56mm midrange drivers, a 4-inch built-in woofer, and 24W of total power. It offers dual-band Wi-Fi, DLNA support for 24-bit/192kHz high-resolution audio files, Bluetooth with NFC touch pairing, and an Ethernet port for multi-room ecosystem setups. Main advantages include an innovative orientation-sensing design that allows it to stand horizontally or vertically, seamless TV SoundConnect pairing with compatible Samsung televisions, and room-filling volume levels with highly accurate midrange performance. However, notable drawbacks include its lack of a built-in battery requiring continuous AC outlet power, weak high-end detail and treble clarity, and an awkward mobile application layout for Wi-Fi multi-room management.
