Review on Soundbar YAMAHA YAS-107 by Mateusz Biakowski ᠌

Controversial solution with Bluetooth control. It is clear that wi-fi and related chips are the lot of more expensive models, but this results in some imbalance of the device. Let me explain: at the time of choosing a soundbar (summer 2022), YAS-107 is the only model on the 2022 market in the range up to 25, which has an HDMI 2.0 input and output with the possibility of a 4K pass-through transfer with HDR, both DD and DTS decoders. At the same time, more expensive models from the same Yamaha do not have such functionality. However, all control in the YAS-107 is implemented via a Bluetooth channel, which, with the advantages described above, looks like a relative anachronism. The poor number of settings in the mobile application is explained by the fact that this device is at the lowest level in its class and it implements the minimum number of functions, but still I would like a little more settings options. Well, as expected, the bass "does not pump". Those who like deep low frequencies should definitely buy a separate subwoofer. I'm not a big fan of "boom-boom" and trembling walls, but I understand that for many this is an important factor when buying. Also, to get the ideal sound for a particular task, you need to switch the settings. For example, I did not like listening to music in the "Music" mode, and even more so in the surround sound mode.
