    The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

    The sound is just awesome. I bought a soundbar for playing games and watching movies. There are different sound settings that are great for different content (Movies, games, music, etc.). Switched with remote control. I really liked the 3D Surround function: the sound literally surrounds you, as if you were in a movie theater. Very cool effect. The soundbar is good quality and well worth the price. If you do not feel sorry for the money, then I recommend to buy👍

    Pros
    • -Build quality -Sound profile selection -Support for many sound standards -Surround sound -Built-in subwoofer

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    A good balance of price/quality, recommend it.

    Since there is nowhere to put normal acoustics in the kitchen, I chose this model to hang it under the TV. I wanted a deeper and clearer sound from the TV, especially if you need to hear speech when you watch something in a foreign language, it copes well with this task. The sound is much better than the one on the TV, but not straight wow. It is convenient that the presets with sound are placed on the remote control.

    Pros
    • It is convenient to quickly switch to presets with clear sound, surround sound, TV, movie, etc. Can be controlled from an app on your phone. If you need to hear speech clearly, then it is solved with one click on the remote control. Attach to the wall. Turns on / off with the TV set, the sound level is adjusted from the TV remote control when connected via hdmi arc.
    Cons
    • I expected a deeper sound. Sometimes it does not turn on, when you turn on the TV and you have to turn it on separately from the remote control

    I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

    I was looking for a soundbar exclusively with a built-in subwoofer. I'll explain why. Our bedroom is 12 square meters. There is a huge closet, a bed, and a computer desk, and there is simply no place for a free-standing subwoofer. I understood that the built-in subwoofer is x . I'm full, but there is nowhere to put it and I resigned myself to the thought "And so it will do" =) As a result, I liked the sound, my wife liked the sound too. Movies became even more interesting to watch when the…

    Pros
    • 1. Sound 2. LAN 3. Application 4. There are common codecs on board for comfortable viewing of "downloaded" (meaning, of course, purchased) films from trackers. Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic II Due to the fact that this speaker has a LAN, I can listen to music bypassing the bluetooth connection by simply sending it over the network to the speaker from my phone or play music from a PC directly to the speaker and listen to music from the media server raised on my Asustore 5. HDMI 6. Includes optics hose 7. There is a convenient paper for hanging the speaker on the wall (as it looks like for me) 8. It is possible to connect the subwoofer separately 9. Built-in subwoofer (in my case, this is a plus, I will explain in the comments) 10. Greatly improves the sound of standard TV speakers
    Cons
    • These are not even cons, but nit-picking. 1. Connect this column with WiFi is another quest. But I spat on WiFi by connecting it via LAN. 2. There is no through cable channel for laying suitable wires (in my case) 3. Useless Alex. Developed if you read the reviews, then maybe you agree with anyway and instead of Alexa, drink Alice for the RU market, or at least SIRI 4. Built-in sub

    I was surprised by the quality for this price.

    Its pros: Appearance and geometry - perfectly combined on the wall with TV, due to the flat shape there is no piling up effect. HDMI input for connecting an external player. Got cons: No AUX. It does not always wake up when the player is turned on, you have to turn it on by hand 1 out of 3 times.

    The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

    Pros below: Music lovers, of course, find fault when they write that they expected something different from the sound. Quite a normal sound for this kind of device. Some cons: The main thing when buying, do not look how much yas-109, at a dollar exchange rate of 59, is now on Amazon))

    I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

    First order through the still-active aliexpress marketplace went smoothly. My second was purchased via proektor77.com. The box had been opened and covered with tape, which the Ru shop did not appreciate. Confusing paperwork.

    Pros
    • Excellent soundbar; I intend to soon purchase a second one.
    Cons
    • Not

    Revainrating 3 out of 5

    There are disadvantages, but the product is usable.

    Market once again pleased with the exact execution of the order both in terms of timing and content. Rating 3 stars for the YAMAHA YAS-109 soundbar is more likely for the discrepancy between the funds spent twice. Although YAMAHA has nothing to do with it). Has pros: 1. convenience and compactness of the location in front of the TV 2. more intelligible and richer sound than the SONY-49XF8577 TV. 3. After setting, no separate control is needed. Turn on, turn off, adjust the volume…

    The right product for me, there were no problems.

    The first one ordered through the still existing aliexpress market place, everything was fine there. The second one I ordered through the proektor77. Ru store did not like that the box had already been opened and all pasted over with adhesive tape. Weird paperwork.

    Pros
    • Great soundbar, I'm already buying a second one.
    Cons
    • Not

    All of the above problems make the YAMAHA YAS-109 device an expensive and useless sound box, to which it is not clear how to output sound so that it is not associated with some kind of daily dancing with a tambourine. Remain digital spdif and simply analog. I will try. The only hope that "everything broke" was the last ate, which offered me to download the application for the phone, after a couple of days of use. If so, then there is hope that the problems will be fixed by the new firmware, but

    Pros
    • YAMAHA brand
    Cons
    • 1. I read the comments and honestly expected more from the sound. In fact, it turned out that the sound is slightly better than that built into the xiaomi mitv 5 TV. At a volume below average, it’s hard to notice the difference. Perhaps these are my high expectations from YAMAHA. I do not like. 2. HDMI ARC is buggy in conjunction with xiaomi mitv 5 again after being idle in the off state (2-3 hours). Moreover, on / off from the remote control does not help, you just have to turn off the YAMAHA from the outlet, wait a couple of seconds and turn it back on, after that, lo and behold, the ARC connection is established and you can control the volume from the TV remote control. And so every day! And if the sound can somehow be explained by my initially overestimated expectations, then these distortions of power in a squat while waiting for HDMI ARC to work, this is generally out of the way. 3. When I realized that HDMI ARC is not about this device, I decided to connect TV via Bluetooth, maybe at least that way I won’t have to turn the power supply every evening in a respectful bow before this miracle of technology. But here is a new surprise, via Bluetooth our soundbar is not seen by the TV, after a couple of restarts, turning it off and on, the device appeared in the list, but all connection attempts were not successful. The same from a phone, the same from a laptop, etc. Although I remember that when I connected the soundbar on the first day, I immediately checked the Bluetooth connection and there were no problems.

    The quality is so-so, the price does not match the quality.

    This is my first soundbar and I really didn't like the sound quality. The maximum of this device is to replace the very poor built-in sound of inexpensive TVs. I tried to listen to music via bluetooth and then it was a complete disappointment. I did not think that yamaha could produce such a dull, flat sound, it is not alive at all. That's all. Here it lies in the box and I don’t want to turn it on at all, because my panasonic mini system 15-17 years ago produces a much better sound.

    Pros
    • Probably a good device for the money.
    Cons
    • I didn't like the sound quality. Probably my own expectations let me down that yamaha cannot make such a shameful sound. And the situation will not be corrected by an external subwoofer, because medium and high are deaf.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

    I took the sound from TV for the kitchen, it’s very sad, I considered bars without a subwoofer, I needed something compact. I installed it easily, connected it through a TV set-top box and hdmi arc. About the sound, I'm not an audiophile, the sound is juicy, the bass is moderate, you can turn it up to the maximum, but it's not worth it, as for me, because the neighbors are all business . It became a pleasure to watch movies .

    Pros
    • sound quality, compactness
    Cons
    • wires on top, the stencil for the wall is not accurate.

    Revainrating 3 out of 5

    The item is average, not sure if it's worth the money.

    This solution will not replace a normal stereo pair, amplifier and source, but it is quite enough to hang in the kitchen for streaming music. The sound is plastic, not natural. The top is flat and aching with howls. Porridge in the middle. The bottoms are unpleasant, thumping. 3D modes and other crap lead to eye twitching. But as I said for the "sound" of the stream and the replacement of regular TV talkers, it will do. For my money, I took it for 12k.

    Pros
    • ease of use spotik support versatility
    Cons
    • Sound. Missing Yamaha MusicCast and AirPlay services

    The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

    Although I love isodynamic sound, the combined Music + Surround mode with the YST-FSW050 external subwoofer suits me quite well as a versatile daily option for background music while working, for watching movies, and, to be honest, for curling too very good option. I will repent that I took it at a flea market - for the full price, perhaps I would not have dared, not knowing all the nuances, partly impulsively, but then I began to delve into the range of available use cases and was pleasantly…

    Pros
    • Overall sound quality, standalone operation without an external audio source, voice assistant support (Amazon Alexa), Home Assistant integration, advanced networking capabilities (Bluetooth, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, dlna)
    Cons
    • At a "lying" arrangement strongly collects dust. Built-in subs after full-time comparison with the external still leave much to be desired. Inability to connect an external subwoofer via Wifi.
