This Yamaha sound bar was my first exposure into Yamaha’s modern home theater lines. I’ve known them to make high quality receivers and speakers, but they are new to the sound bar and multi room audio market.
This sound bar is made to disappear into your home. It has a nondescript look. That’s good if you want to ignore it, but it’s bad in that it SURELY does NOT look premium. Plain cloth and printed buttons make it look a bit dated already, even though it’s a new release. I’ve divided the rest of review into the setup, the tech, and the sound:
**The set up**: Set up is quick and easy through an ARC cable if your TV is capable. Including downloading the related app and making an account, TOTAL set up was MAYBE 5 minutes max. It's plug an play. That's why sound bars are taking over this tech area, its the thing JUST WORKS. Using ARC mode, you run one cable to the TV from the soundbar, and power cable from the soundbar to the wall and that’s it! I used this with both Vizio and Samsung TVs and there was literally no set up required. It JUST WORKS with the TV’s remote. A few sound customizing settings are only available via the included (and very cheap looking) remote, but you won’t need to adjust those often. The app is very simplistic, it connects via WIFI (which you’ll need to do to enable voice commands), and it gives you the ability to change volume, source, and voice volume. After my app was connected, it required re-paring several times which was quite frustrating.
**The tech**: As of September 2019, this sound bar is compatible with Alexa, allowing you to give commands and receive simple tips like weather and sports scores directly to the sound bar (no other hubs required). If you have another alexa enabled device, you ARE able to control this unit through the other devices. That, however, is pretty limited to “Play **** on sound bar”, and that’s about it. If you’re using this in place of an Echo, you’ll be thrilled with its speaker capabilities (it is a sound bar, after all!). As of now, though, it’s NOT capable of multi room audio through Alexa; NOR can it pull off Yamaha’s proprietary audio solution “music cast”. From a “smart“ standpoint, think of it as a super high quality Amazon echo that DOESN’T currently support multi room play.
Yamaha speakers with Music Cast tech can all be tethered together with a smart app to play the same source audio and be driven by a single app. Yamaha has a bar that supports this, but you’ll pay a few hundo more. This bar is NOT music cast enabled. If you want multiroom audio, look else ware. If you’re on a budget and this doesn’t matter to you, then this may be your bar!
**The sound**: so of course, this isn’t going up against super high-end home theaters. Its purpose is to be easily set up, disappear into the wall, and give a bang and oomph to your TV with basically no exposed wires. That it does. If you’re expecting 300$ sound, you’ll be pleased. It competes with similarly priced sound bars that DON’T include Alexa capability. With the added benefit of Alexa, you’ll find yourself using this more than any sound bar you’ve had in the past. IF you’re upgrading a similar unit based on sound alone, I fear you’ll be disappointed. The sound is great for a soundbar…. But it’s a low-mid end sound bar. At this price segment, you get what you pay for, and it won’t compete with the luxury guys, but at ½ the price, why should it! Smaller home theaters will out preform this, but they come with ugly wires, heavy cables, and they surely won’t be as smart.
IN CONCLUSION…
This leaves this sound bar in an awkward position. While its sound is booming and its profile is slim, it can’t pull off multiroom audio through Alexa, but it works as an Alexa speaker. This leaves it being able to be driven by an Alexa command “play Bach on the sound bar”; but it won’t easily take other Alexa commands “turn the sound bar down” and worst of all CANNOT “play Bach on the sound bar and on my kitchen echo” as it doesn’t currently support multiroom streaming. Couple with the fact that Yamaha has awesome software that pulls off multiroom streaming on its own (music cast) in OTHER Yamaha bars, that ISNT available with this bar, I’d have to reconsider going with another model.
If you’re replacing a dumb smart bar, and this is your only Alexa unit, this bar is for YOU! I cannot emphasize that enough as it blew my old name brand sound bar out of the water. It’s at a great price point, classy look, it’s easy to hook up, and the sound is far above average. If you’re looking for a super smart bar with multi-room support, you’ll need to look else ware (but you’ll be paying a premium.)
I very much tried to be as helpful as possible. If I succeeded, please let us know by clicking “helpful” below.
Original review: I started with a Sonos Beam but was unimpressed with the audio quality. I next tried the $700 Samsung Q70R, which sounded really good on Atmos, but had tinny vocals on standard content and a lip sync delay that I couldn't fix. So third time is the charm, but not without issues. The Yamaha sounds very good when you set it to Movie mode, turn the sub to max, turn on bass extension and turn on Clear Voice. Most importantly, it just works! The lip sync is perfect, it turns to the correct mode every time, and the power and volume can be controlled by the Apple Tv remote no problem. The major issue is, if you only use ARC, the audio cuts off for a few seconds every so often. This has been mentioned in other reviews, so it's a clear problem that Yamaha needs to address. The current solution to this is to plug Arc from the bar to the Tv and then to use a second HDMI cable from the bar to your source. 95% of the content I watch is on Apple Tv, so this is fine, but if I want to use the PS4 without audio skips, I need to unplug the HDMI from the Apple Tv and hook it up to the PS4, which is a pain. Also, the app is terrible. I can only get it to even connect if I link my phone wifi to the bar, as opposed to my home network. Of the three bars I tried, this is easily my favorite, and the cheapest. It's a good value. But Yamaha definitely needs a firmware update for the Arc audio issue.
Other than setting up the WiFi taking long than I expected. It’s a pretty good sound at. The bass was less than I anticipated but more than enough if it’s maxed and placed in the front. It’s not going to play music to be heard a block away but will play loud enough to enjoy any movie or football game and a reasonable level for you to feel it. I was looking at many units twice this price and the Alexa was a great selling point for me. It’s not a dot so don’t expect to make calls or use it like a dot but the Alexa is great for playing music and changing the sound bar to Bluetooth or hdmi without having to dig for a remote or walk up and push the button like a poor person 😂
Regarding the audio quality, it's great. I am particular impressed with the Clear Voice option which makes dialogs sound much more crisp, which is exactly what I needed for my mom. Maybe a little pricey, but eventually, my mom wants a home theater, so this will be a good component as part of a home theater system.

Received it today 15.9.2020
*I was not very happy with the packing of the product as it looked as if some one has already opened the product before.
*Sound quality is superb as per my expectations, specially the sub woofer has an amazing bass and punch
*took time to figure out how to connect the system to the wifi (thanks to some once review here, who had mentioned this hack, press and hold the alexa button for 5 seconds and it connected immediately)
*Firm ware update is required to get everything running and only way to get that is by connecting to wifi or hard wire.
*Still couldn't connect it with HDMI Arc (I am using Nokia 55" TV which has HDMI Arc as per the manual going to try with another HDMI cable) currently using it with digital audi port and the wire that came along with the sound bar.
*ALEXA works absolutely fine.
*Movie experience is amazing with the rumbling bass almost theater kind, surround sound is ok but not bad, music also sounds 👌
Suggestions: yamaha shoud provide an extensive user guide on how to get started it would save lots of time and frustration.
Will update again if come across any new issues or hacks.
