Samsung’s new Soundbar Sound+ (MS750, MS751) recently launched in Korea and in the US, further adding to the company’s robust lineup of Soundbar Sound+. The Soundbar Sound+, Samsung’s first soundbar to embed the subwoofer directly into the compact body, enters the soundbar market as the most complete all-in-one model when considering its combination of price, design and audio performance. Featuring a compact and elegant design along with Samsung’s most advanced audio technologies to date, the new Soundbar Sound+ is far from your ordinary soundbar.

Expand Your Sound Stage

The Soundbar Sound+ offers listeners an expanded sound stage to create a rich and immersive surround sound environment. The 5 channel (front left/front right/center/top left/top right) soundbar boasts a total of 11 speaker units, each with dedicated amplifiers, including 3 wide-range tweeters, 6 woofers, and 2 vertical wide-range tweeters.

The vertical tweeters situated on top of the unit and spray audio vertically to expand the sound image, making it feel as though you are watching on a larger screen than you really are.

Additionally, the vertical tweeters feature ‘Height Channel Up-mix’ technology, which allows you to enjoy a 3D surround sound as if you are actually experiencing sound of a flight or a bird over the sky.

Deep and Detailed UHQ Audio Upscaling

The Soundbar Sound+ features Ultra High Quality (UHQ) 32-bit audio, which provides a crisper sound, and allows listeners to experience audio nearest to its original recording quality. Samsung’s new soundbar Sound+ not only upscales any music content to 32-bit detail sound, it also reproduces deep and detailed bass to as low as 35Hz.

Samsung’s long-excursion technology increases the depth of the speaker movement, thereby allowing them to deliver more powerful bass. Moreover, by replacing the traditional subwoofer with 6 (2” x 4.3”) woofers, Samsung’s ‘multi-speaker control’ technology enables the multi-array speaker units to move simultaneously, further deepening bass reproduction capabilities.

To reproduce such deep and detailed bass from its compact 3-inch body, Samsung put advanced acoustic technologies from its own Audio Lab to work. The company’s proprietary distortion cancelling technology eliminates low frequency distortion by predicting the distortion at the end of the speaker movement and pre-adjusting upfront. The resulting lows are smooth and distortion free, meaning listeners can enjoy bass-heavy content as it was meant to be heard.

However, to fully enjoy one’s listening experience, audio systems must provide clear and accurate highs together with distortion-free lows. Samsung’s new soundbar Sound+ easily accomplishes this through 3 wide range tweeters that create wider sound dispersion from the source (cross-over range 600Hz ~ 20kHz), resulting in consistently great sound no matter where one sits.

A Streamlined Audio Experience

All-in-one experience of the Soundbar Sound+ enhances its stylish exterior design and streamlines both its set-up and usage.

Samsung Soundbar Sound+ Mount Kit^* allows audiophiles to quickly mount the soundbar directly to their TV by affixing it to the VESA mounting holes. The cable included in the Samsung Soundbar Sound+ Mount Kit enables a single cord connection by having the TV power cord go directly into the Soundbar Sound+, leaving your living room looking neat and uncluttered.

To facilitate a more intuitive user experience, the Soundbar Sound+ allows users to conveniently control both their TV and the soundbar, including advanced audio settings, all through a single remote. The Soundbar analyzes the sound and sets various modes automatically according to the sound characteristics such as movie or music.

“The Soundbar Sound+ delivers clear, crisp, immersive sound yet with improved space constraints from subwoofers,” said Jurack Chae, Senior Vice President of Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will expand its influence in the audio industry by leveraging our technological prowess to produce exceptional sounding audio equipment designed for consumer’s lifestyle.”

Samsung will continue to unveil innovative audio devices, including the new Wireless Audio, which will be released next year.

The LEVEL headset series is expanding with the release of the LEVEL Active, a Bluetooth-enabled headset specially designed for exercise and outdoor activities.

For people on the move, having headphones that fit comfortably is essential. The LEVEL Active can help achieve this with its soft silicon earhooks as well as comfortable wingtips and in-ear eartips. The earhooks wrap over the entire ear, securing the headphones firmly in place, while the wingtips that come in two sizes perfectly match the shape of the user’s ears for a secure fit. Additionally, the in-ear eartips also come in three different sizes, not only providing a comfortable fit but also preventing distractions from outside noise.

The LEVEL Active is also splash resistant, allowing users to work out without worrying about damaging their earphones with sweat. These new earphones feature an ultra-thin P2i nano-coating, which covers the inside of headset and protects it, giving users peace of mind while they participate in their outdoor activities.

Getting started with a new LEVEL Active is quite easy. It can be connected to a Bluetooth-enabled smartphone with a long press of the Bluetooth icon on the controller. On the headphone controller, hold the Bluetooth button and a blue light will flash on the left headphone to let users know that the phone and LEVEL Active have connected. Once enabled, the user can utilize the controller to play/pause audio tracks, change tracks and control the volume.

To gain more functionality and customizability, the LEVEL Active can be paired with latest version of the Samsung Level app. Users just download the app from Galaxy Apps or the Google Play Store.

Once the LEVEL Active is connected to the phone, the user can set up the features and notifications quickly. From the home screen, the app shows Notifications, Active key, User manual and More, along with volume control and battery.

The Notifications menu lets users control what alerts and messages they receive from their phones while wearing the LEVEL Active. For people who just want to exercise with limited interruptions, they can select Settings on the upper right, then select Limit notifications. With Limit notifications engaged, users will only receive alerts for incoming calls and alarms.

The Active key function is where users control how their LEVEL Active headphones monitor their workout. If the user turns on this feature, they can select whether to connect the Clock, Timer or S Health to the LEVEL Active. If S Health is selected, the user can then choose whether to record workout information for walking, running, cycling or hiking.

By pressing the Active Key on the right headphone for a second, LEVEL Active will play back the selected results, including from exercise time and distance, via sound alerts.

Charging the LEVEL Active is also straightforward, with a microUSB connector located in the left headphone. The user just lifts off the back cover on the headphone, revealing the connector slot. When connected to a computer or other device and charging, the LED light on the left headphone shines red. Once fully charged, it changes to blue.

With the release of LEVEL Active, people who want to enjoy their favorite tracks while working out have an option that’s hassle-free and ready to move. Whether someone is a serious runner, a gym rat, or just looking to get a bit healthier, the LEVEL Active fits any level of activity and helps make working out a bit more fun.

Starting August 19 in the United States, the LEVEL Active will soon be coming to Europe, China, Russia, Turkey, Korea and other countries. The Level headset series including the LEVEL U, LEVEL U Pro and LEVEL U Pro ANC is already available around the globe.

Following the release of the LEVEL U and the LEVEL U Pro, Samsung is introducing the LEVEL U Pro ANC headset, featuring powerful active noise cancellation (ANC). LEVEL U Pro ANC will be available beginning this month in the United States, followed soon by Europe, Russia and Korea.

With its powerful ANC technology and two-way speakers, the LEVEL U Pro ANC provides studio-quality sound. Rather than just drowning out ambient sounds around you, the LEVEL U Pro ANC actually picks up those external noises with two external microphones, analyzes them, and creates inverted sound waves to cancel out those noises, reducing the noise going into your ears. The active noise cancellation of the LEVEL U Pro ANC is up to 90 percent effective, reducing outside sounds by up to 20 dB. The result means you can enjoy crystal-clear sound, without the distraction of exterior noises.

And the two-way speakers – with a 13mm dynamic speaker and 13mm piezo speaker – combine to give listeners clear and balanced sound across the entire sound spectrum, from low to high ranges.

The LEVEL U Pro ANC also supports Ultra High Quality (UHQ) audio, delivering 96 kHz, 24-bit sound which is higher in quality than CD audio. With the use of the Bluetooth UHQ Audio (UHQ-BT) codec, users can enjoy superior sound without the need for any inconvenient wires.

The headset features a useful magnetic clasp that keeps the eartips tangle-free and tidy – but it also lets you control your music and calls. The LEVEL U Pro ANC’s Sound with Me function lets you share your favorite tunes with anyone who uses a compatible headset. In addition, the LEVEL App gives you even more control over your headset’s features, such as S Voice to use voice controls and Test-to-Speech (TTS) technology to get updates about missed calls, incoming emails, text messages and more.

The sleek, sophisticated design and ergonomic neckband ensure maximum comfort, so you can enjoy listening for even longer. A handy controller lets you answer calls, adjust the volume, and pause/play and skips audio tracks easily, without having to constantly reach for your smartphone. The new hybrid canal eartips design of the headset is also more comfortable than ever, and further helps to keep out unwanted noises. In addition, the LEVEL U Pro ANC headphones are splash and sweat resistant, so you can wear them while working out in the gym or running outside without worry.
