Pros and Cons

Pros5

Clear voice and distinct dialogue that's not drowned out by background music. The bar is able to decode surround sound signals even though it doesn't have a bunch of speakers to use with that signal. Clear voice is really good and movie mode is great....  Read More

The sound is good, and the bass is adjustable via remote. While not bose level sound, it packs good rich sound for movies & music in a small package at a fair price. This yamaha is much more powerful and play louder than that bose at half the cost...  Read More

It's small enough to not stick out like a sore thumb. Though the size is compact, the sound is robust. There is better soundbars out there and much more expensive, but for something affordable, with decent sound then this bar will fit the bill.

The sound quality is surprisingly good for the size of the unit. I'm only partial audiophile, but i do have 2 of these and they are decent.

All you have to do is plug the optical cable into the tv outlet on the back of the soundbar. Go to settings on your tv and select optical audio on audio inputs.

Cons2

The sound quality is okay, but the bass is terrible. There's more bass, sure, but there's little clarity and music sounds muffled. The sound bar's functionality is horrible.

Very dissatisfied with yamaha. Save your money and put it towards something nicer" "this is one of the few disappointing purchases!

Pros5

The sound quality this thing outputs is fantastic, i was pleasantly surprised. Saiyin is my favorite audio brand which i have purchased again.

However, in a small area, like a master bedroom or a guest room, soundbars make the most sense.

It complements the bar very well. It's wasn't quite as long as my original sound bar, less bulky and it takes up less space, a nice bonus. I'm not even that far away from it (the bar is for the tv in my bedroom) but man, i gotta raise my arm and bend ...  Read More

It installs really easy and the sound quality surpassed my expectations. Super easy installation, even for a non-techie like me.

Great sound quality, a good subwoofer, and a slim profile that tucks neatly under a tv. The bass is surprisingly loud. With the remote you can conveniently change to any input origin.

Cons1

Keep disconnecting. All you can hear when loud is rattling. Hot electric smell. Very dissatisfied with this purchase.
