I recently learned about and received the awesome Samsung SHAPE Wireless Audio System which lets me listen to, share and experience music how you live.

Whether it’s a single speaker in one room, or a multi room system in two rooms or every room in your home, it’s never been easier to immerse yourself in your favorite sounds. Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity lets you send music from your library or favorite App straight to your speakers.

SHAPE YOUR MUSIC EXPERIENCE.

My favorite part is how Samsung Shape Wireless Audio is an expandable system – now music can follow you anywhere in your house. Play one song in any or all rooms, or different songs in different room from any number of speakers. Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity lets you send music from your library or favorite App straight to your AC powered speaker.

Control volume, streaming services and playlists, or switch to a speaker in a different room. However you enjoy your music, Samsung Shape™ Wireless Audio makes it happen.

Top content providers include: Rhapsody, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Spotify, tunein, amazon cloudplayer, tracks

Samsung M5 Bluetooth Wireless Speaker Black

An important part of the Samsung Shape Wireless Audio is the Samsung M5 Bluetooth Wireless Speaker. Enjoy music stored on your iOS or Android device, PC or Mac with this Samsung M5 WAM550/ZA speaker that features a Bluetooth interface and NFC (near-field communication) technology for easy wireless pairing with compatible devices.

It has a built-in dual-band 2.4/5.0GHz wireless LAN and allows easy connection to your home network, so you can enjoy Pandora, Amazon Cloud Player, Rhapsody and other music services through the speaker. An Ethernet port permits wired connectivity.

Plus, it lets you wirelessly link with compatible Bluetooth-enabled devices and helps simplify device pairing (includes NFC sticker).

The look of it is also sleek and easy to use! It features top-panel buttons that includes a Internet radio preset, Bluetooth, TV SoundConnect, wheel-touch scroll volume dial and mute for easy operation. Also features WPS and pairing buttons on the back/side. Plus, the LED indicators keep you apprised of the speaker's status. And the vertical foot stand allows stable placement.

It is so amazing how it supplies multiroom/multizone support and enables you to enjoy audio in multiple areas simultaneously. I never have to carry the speaker around with me room to room again!

Samsung Wireless Speaker HUB

A great accessory to the speaker is the Samsung Wireless Speaker Hub. Easily connect your wireless speakers with this Samsung WAM250/ZA hub that is designed for use with WAM750/751 wireless speakers and select Apple® and Android devices for wide-ranging compatibility.

With the Hub and Speakers, you can create a whole-home audio solution!

Premium Series Gold Plated HDMI Cable with Ethernet

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

If you use a DVD player or Blu-ray Player, video games, and other audio and video devices, then most likely you use HDMI cords!

If you are looking for high quality HDMI cables, then let me recommend PREMIUM SERIES GOLD Plated 6 ft High Speed HDMI® Cable with Ethernet from Solid Cordz.

HDMI® provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as set-top boxes, Blue-ray Disc players, DVD players, video game consoles, AV receivers and an audio and/or video monitor, such as digital television or plasma monitor, over a single cable.

This High Speed HDMI® cables with Ethernet have been designed to meet the performance standards set by HDMI 1.4 and have passed stringent Category 2 testing. They are backward compatible to all previous versions.

Below are the major enhancements introduced in the HDMI 1.4 specification

• HDMI® Ethernet Channel - The HDMI 1.4 specification adds a data channel to the HDMI® connection, enabling high-speed, bi-directional communication. Connected devices that include this feature can send and receive data via 100 Mb/sec Ethernet, making them instantly ready for any IP-based application.

• Audio Return Channel - The new specification adds an audio channel that will reduce the number of cables required to deliver audio "upstream" from a TV to an A/V receiver for processing and playback. In cases where a TV features an internal content source, such as a built-in tuner or DVD player, the Audio Return Channel allows the TV to send audio data upstream to the A/V receiver via the HDMI cable, eliminating the need for an extra cable.

• 3D Support - The 1.4 version of the specification defines common 3D formats and resolutions for HDMI-enabled devices, enabling 3D gaming and other 3D video applications.

• 4K Resolution Support - The new specification enables HDMI devices to support extremely high HD resolutions, effectively four times the resolution of a 1080p device. Support for 4K allows the HDMI interface to transmit digital content at the same resolution as the state-of-the-art Digital Cinema systems used in many movie theaters.

These Gold-plated HDMI® connectors provide optimal signal transfer and the double-shielded HDMI® compliant cable protects against EMI/RFI.

Buy It: You can purchase the Premium Series Gold Plated HDMI Cable with Ethernet for $35 from Amazon.com
