Samsung Soundbars and Wireless Speakers Add Deezer High Fidelity Lossless Audio

LONDON, UK – 27 July 2018 – Samsung Electronics Co. announced the addition of Deezer High Fidelity Lossless Audio on select Samsung soundbars and wireless speakers. As of today, music fans and audiophiles can stream music and listen to tracks the way it was originally intended.

While regular music streaming compresses music and reduces the overall sound quality, Deezer HiFi streams music at 16-Bit/ 44.1 kHz in lossless audio. This ensures the highest sound quality, perfect for music lovers that want to hear every single element of a track. In addition to the enhanced quality of sound, Deezer HiFi includes Flow, a personal soundtrack that uses smart data to play familiar favourites and new recommendations for users, as well as ad-free listening, unlimited music play and access to an extensive library of playlists, albums, music genres and more.

“At Samsung, we prioritise innovation and sound quality when introducing audio products to our consumers,” said Taeho Park, VP, AV Marketing at Samsung Electronics. “We are driven by our commitment to provide a listening experience that’s unrivaled by our competitors, and our partnership with Deezer speaks directly to our mission to produce the best sound quality on the market.”

Deezer HiFi users have unlimited access to 36 million HiFi tracks in more than 180 countries, with the service now available to Samsung users with a compatible wireless device.

“Our partnership with Samsung ensures that Deezer HiFi and Samsung users will have even more opportunities to discover and experience the music they love in the way it was meant to be heard,” said Riad Hawa, VP Hardware Partnerships, Deezer. “Providing greater accessibility to FLAC quality sound is really important to us and to all audiophiles who have a greater appreciation for lossless audio. Teaming up with Samsung allows us to deliver the best quality sound to our consumers who care about high quality sound.”

Samsung’s lineup of wireless speakers and soundbars are developed and tested at the Samsung Audio Lab, based in Valencia, California.
