Currys/ pc world are selling the r1 360's too. There's already a post on it due to incorrect discount being applied in the bundle. These have a different name which isn't on the Samsung, Amazon or any other site I can find. If they are the same it's a deal. If they're a cut down version then, meh.

I can't find any details on this model,but Currys also sell the R1 on their site for 149 (reduced from 169)
Your text here with a different product code.

Went to Currys and they had a Samsung specialist in so I asked what the difference is between the r lite and r1. His answer, 'slightly different plastic' and that's it. Apart from that they are identical. So definitely a deal!

model number is wam1400. If anyone speaks Swedish there is a page on the Swedish Samsung site!

Would have tried it instore? Monkeys sometimes have more knowledge on the products unfortunately...

Not listed with any details so assuming maybe another cost reduced spec black Friday deal

What is a multi room speaker?

Still no clearer, but thanks

would not bother as I bought 2 r1s from currys because of the free deezer worth £120 as my membership had just run out,(and an extra bundle offer of another £100 off)so effectively these 2 speakers cost me £80 and speaking from someone who has over twenty speakers ranging from sonos,bose,x2 aiwa exos 9s etc(these are crap,don't bother get x2 sonos play 1s instead TRUST ME)i have got these as a stero pair in my bedroom as they won't be used much.

10%off thru quidco?

dont see the point in these sorry

I have two R1s that I use to boost a HW650 soundbar. The are perfect for that and can get plenty loud. They cost me around £100 a piece back in the day so this is a good price

How do these compare to the Bose soundtouch ?

Get a Samsung level box for around £30 if it's just for occasional streaming, but major plus is you can use it like the Amazon echo, but you need to press the button to activate, can also act as a speaker for your mobile calling out whatever notifications you want using the Samsung Level app.

thinking of getting two of these to use for surround sound with my Samsung ue55ks7000 I was told I can link the tv via Bluetooth for this however will I still need a a sound bar if so can anyone recommend one which will work well with these.

aw ok. Only thing was buy two of these plus a soundbar will cost cough £350 are there any other better solution that would be better value to add to the tv to give surround with my tv.

I had my hdmi cables chased into the wall for wall mounting and last thing I need now is getting a soundbar which will need a power source chasing in . a lot of hassle now that we decorated.

I purchased four of the proper 'Samsung R1 360' for under £100 each over the last month from a vendor that is banned on HUKD, so I'd better not mention them.

I did try posting the deal twice, but it got removed.......twice.:disappointed:

In fact the first order of 2 x Samsung R1 360 (WAM1500) = £188.00 + £9.30 delivery.

My second order of 2 x Samsung R1 360 (WAM1500) was £135.93 + £9.30 delivery

Admitedly there was a club discount code applied to the second order as well as a mystery discount, which I knew nothing about and assume was a random glitch (I wasn't asking any questions).:smile:

Maybe 7% Quidco too.

So basically 4 speakers for £343 (including delivery) and potentially 24 months of Deezer (which normally costs £10 per month).

The Deezer will have to be split over 2 accounts @ 12 months however as I think you can only use two codes per Deezer account. :disappointed:

​All we want to know is if they're any good? :smiley:

Any one got experience of using these as rears with a soundbar? Have the HW-J6500 but reading conflicting reviews online about these only outputting stereo and not surround sound when paired

That's exactly my setup and they work fine with the android app. PC app was a bit ropey sop I stopped using it (kept losing a speaker). You find the speakers using the app, group them with the sound bar then an option for surround setup appears in the groups menu. Drag the relevant speakers to rl/rr and then change to d.in on the soundbar and you're good to go. Can confirm they are working properly as surrounds. I used a test video which sent a signal to each one individually. Soundbar provides fl/centre/fr with r lites as surrounds rl/rr. Subwoofer is the .1 obviously!

Well, I think they are good but I've never had any other type of network speaker before, so nothing to compare them too.

I like the way you can play separate tracks to each speaker or set up 'Groups' of speakers and also connect them to compatible Samsung TVs of which I have 4 around the house.

The Samsung multiroom app is pretty good and although it can stream the music from my phone, Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn etc, the downside is that its unable play from my NAS.

EDIT: I've just discovered I can play form my NAS (ReadyNAS).

Just noticed my NAS listed to the right of the baked-in streaming services. YEY, happy days!!:smile:

The initial setup was a little too front weighted but the +/- 6 you read about (which is for balance only, vol is separate and is fine) is enough to deal with that. Definitely sounds better than the soundbar alone but it's not a patch on my proper system (yamaha 3067 with mission audio 7.1). Not a fair comparison by a looooong way, but for the price I'm happy.

You can set the independent volume levels through the TV or app. Once the surround sound is set up increasing the volume increases everything (soundbar and surrounds). Similarly increasing the sound on the surrounds increases the soundbar volume as well. it can be bass/soundbar heavy but it tweakable if you fiddle with it. It's about £350 - not £1,350 - so for the price it beats the crap out of tv speakers

Yes

For anyone who wanted this, there's an additional 10% off with AUDIO10.
