Great Sound Bar
Great sound for the money and much better sound compared to any TV speakers. The “Clear Voice” really beings out the voices more clearly and was quite surprised how well it works with movies. Very easy to hook up to enjoy great rich sound.

Impressive component
Set up on Sony tv using E Arc with provided HDMI cable. My second Yamaha sound bar. This was the easiest and fastest setup Iâve ever had. Canât believe how simple and quickly it connected with my 1 year old Sony tv.Iâve had sound bars that were so complicated and finicky about connection and proper sound that I just gave up on them. What an improvement in sound over earlier sound bars. Impressive surround for movies, music, and just plan dialogue. We watch many old movies and this does a phenomenal job of making the old movies sound good. If youâre looking for a simple setup with great sound without going crazy trying to play what you want; this is a superb high value product. My first Yamaha was purchased nearly 15 years ago and still works great on an older tv. Highly recommended! My second purchase from âWorld Wide Stereoâ rated 5 stars for fast UPS delivery. I did not receive any promotion for writing this review.

Unbelievable!
I paid $450 for a Samsung Q series sound bar to pair with this television. It wasn’t the easiest to set up and after only 1 year, the sound bar stopped working. Got this Yamaha unit as a replacement and I’m in disbelief of how easy it was to set up and how good it sounds. Best bang for the buck of any product I’ve purchased in years.

It’s good
Even before the price drop, for $300, it was worth it. Works well, integrated with my TCL 4K TV and Roku Ultra via eARC. Nice small profile fits nicely between the TV legs. The bass output from this little guy has exceeded my expectations. Was watching the latest Furiosa movie last night and audio experience was great. No actual custom EQ functionally is the only negative for me. Otherwise very good for its price point. And setup was cake, just plug in and good to go.

Yamaha: Please Don’t Stop Offering Options with a Sub Pre-Out!
First, I’ll start by saying that this is the first soundbar I’ve ever owned, so I don’t have a prior soundbar to compare this to. What I did have previously, was a 7.2 surround sound component system,built over the years with seven independent full range speakers, two 10-inch subwoofers, and four tactile transducers installed in the seating. My wife put her foot down and told me to choose the surround system or her. So out of the house I packed my surround system. Most of it, anyway.I purchased the SR-B30A, specifically because this model includes a subwoofer pre-out port. I had invested a great deal of time, energy and effort to get the tactile transducers setup and balanced with the subwoofers, and I didn’t want to loose that. For me, the most immersive aspect of the system I had before, was always the way that you could really feel the low end. I knew that no soundbar with a wireless sub was going to be able to come close to delivering that for me, so Yamaha had me sold on this aspect principally, but I also wanted to experience Atmos in my home. In this regard, the SR-B30A was really the only choice I saw for myself. Even if I had spent three, four or even more, times the money I would always feel that I was missing out.This being said, the spacial aspect of the sound that the bar produces doesn’t compare to what I had with the seven separate speakers on stands and mounted to walls around the room. Those seven speakers are what my wife hated, and I didn’t expect a 2.1 speaker arrangement to be able to replicate that. I am, however, impressed with how well dispersed the sound is, when playing back Dolby Atmos and surround sound source material. If Yamaha can do this with just the 2.1 speakers, I can only imagine the awesomeness that could happen were they to expand the number of speakers with different angled mountings. Yeah, more speakers would necessitate a higher price tag, but I’d pay it. There are speakerbars out there that are selling for around $1K.There are a couple of weak points, but nothing that would cause me to knock any stars off; your situation may be different though. The app for adjusting the settings of the bar is really basic. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad it’s there, but coming from a home theater receiver with loads of crossover and room correction adjustments available, what is offered by the app seems geared to those without much audio equipment experience. The app also needs to be reconnected to the speakerbar most times after you switch apps or close it. A way to connect some Bluetooth headphones to the bar for late night listening would be a good feature too.Speaking of Bluetooth, one thing that I hadn’t need expecting, was that I’m unable to utilize the Bluetooth source when the TV is on. I suspect that this is due to me using my TV’s eARC CEC for control of the basic power and volume functions of the speakerbar. I have Spotify and the other streaming services available through my TV already, so it isn’t a problem for me. Just unexpected.All told, I’m very pleased with what I got from the SR-B30A. Not the downgrade I thought it would be!

didn’t ship with remote
the manufacture either didnt ship a remote or it was stolen because the package didnt have any factory seals on it. so it could have been stolen at amazon or yamaha or they didnt ship one from the factory. seems to work ok with roku remote but i paid for a yamaha remote. i did have amazon use its stealth packaging which hide the contents. the sound from the bar is ok for volume voices included but sounds a bit compressed in the midrange.

Great value and sound quality
There are many different sound bars that are either low end or high end. But if you are like me and want to strike a good balance, you canât go wrong with the Yamaha. The bass is there when you want it or not by switching it on or off just like the voice enhancement. Solid sound bar for the money.

The Yamaha soundbar is beautiful and very functional with excellent sound at any mode.Of course, it is hard to test Dolby Atmos as the availability of movies or videos on television is limited to only YouTube. So I test it against Dolby Atmos videos and it does a great job even without the dedicated subwoofers. Subwoofers is built in the bar itself and for my room of 500 square feet, the sound is powerful, acoustic and just awesome.

I purchased this Yamaha soundbar and subwoofer to replace an LG model I picked up a few years ago. The LG never really sounded loud enough, although rated at 300W, even when cranked to full volume. It also emitted a random and very annoying popping and staticky noise from the subwoofer regardless of all efforts to fix it. This Yamaha system delivers crisp, rich, clean sound. Using the provided ARC cable makes it a snap to use volume control, on/off without the need to add optical or other cables, using just my TVâs universal remote. No programming required. I hooked up Spotify on my cellphone via Bluetooth to the soundbar with absolutely no problem and the sound & connection are flawless. The soundbar sits conveniently in front of the TV on the cabinet unit with the wireless subwoofer a few feet away on the floor. Hardware is also included if you choose to wall mount the soundbar. Iâm more than happy with sound and build quality of this unit – itâs a Yamaha – I shouldnât be surprised. Ease of setup was surprising as well. Iâm a tech-illiterate 71 year old and everything came together without a hitch. Thereâs also an available downloadable Yamaha app which is handy for some fine tuning. I wouldnât hesitate to recommend this unit to anyone.

As with past Yamaha sound bars and receivers I have owned this product is great. Using with bedroom TV and ups the sound and bass quality substantially. Perfect slim design which is what I needed as well. Highly recommend.

We’re very happy with the sound bar. Makes the sound more alive. Mixed with the Amp it’s great. We don’t have any issue with variable volumes on different TV channels.
