Rear-speaker cable flexibility receives one positive note because Samsung includes different lead lengths for easier placement.
Pros: Multi-speaker pairing reliability, Gaming HDMI passthrough
Cons: Google, Cabinet construction / bracing
Rear speaker cable feedback was mixed: one review praised extra-long power cables, while others wanted longer cables or noted shorter rear-speaker runs.
Pros: Soundstage height, Surround sound simulation
Cons: Chromecast compatibility, Google
Speaker/subwoofer cable placement is a recurring limitation, with the wired sub restricting where reviewers could place it in TV or couch setups.
Pros: Setup simplicity, Weight convenience
Cons: Smart features, Rear speaker cable length
The surrounds are wireless in operation, but the supplied USB charging cables are short. Using the charging pads behind a couch may require longer cables or nearby outlets.
Pros: Distortion at high volume, Wi-Fi streaming reliability
Cons: Included HDMI cable, AI Room Calibration
The M7 power cables are far too short for a system built around flexible placement. Extension leads may be necessary even in ordinary rooms.
Pros: Chromecast compatibility, Spotify Connect reliability
Cons: Rear speaker cable length, Gaming HDMI passthrough
