Review on Soundbar YAMAHA YAS-101 by Park Seo Jun

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

This device works for me as computer speakers, and in this capacity I am very pleased with it. I plugged it into the socket with one wire, connected the S / PDIF output to the computer via a Toslink-Toslink cable, and everything worked without shamanism, extra wires and adapters. There is one "but": the device automatically "falls asleep" when it does not receive any signals from the remote control or buttons for 12 hours. If you are used to controlling the volume inside the operating system (with keyboard buttons, for example), then the device will turn off 12 hours after the last pressing of the "On" button. I just turned the sound inside the system to 100% and control the volume from the remote or buttons on the front panel.

Pros
  • Good stereo sound. There is a simulated surround effect that can be activated from the remote, and I love how it transforms the sound. Built-in woofers. Much has been written about the fact that this device needs an external subwoofer: in my opinion, this soundbar has enough native bass. I am not a fan of shaking the apartment and rattling glass in the windows. Especially since I'm sitting pretty close to him. Legs for table mounting. It would seem such a trivial thing, but there are practically no soundbars with any high regular legs (which I needed so that the base for attaching the monitor to the table passed under them) on the market.
Cons
  • Few ports. Coaxial and a pair of optical jacks, plus a port for connecting a subwoofer. Glossy black. It shows dust and scratches, it must be carefully looked after. I would like to see the device in a matte finish, but not fate. Buttons on the front panel. They look good, but they are not very convenient to use: they merge into one monolithic block under the fingers, it is not clear to the touch what is where.
