Yamaha YAS-103 Soundbar Review

 

Yamaha's entry-level YAS-103 shows why they're still the king of soundbars.

Detailed and clean sound ; Good clarity and precision ; Nicely integrated low-end ; Interesting DSP options ; IR repeater ; Classic design

No HDMI inputs ; Gloss black attracts fingerprints

The YAS-103 is a great example of a well designed soundbar, where the emphasis is on classic looks, decent sound quality and useful features. The gloss black cabinet might show up the odd fingerprint but its classy looks are understated and unassuming,...

worth it

 

Sounds better than my 7.2 surround sound which is maybe a con as it showed me how bad my expensive setup was. I wouldn't mind selling everything and getting one of these. The bass at highest setting sounds good. Two 3.5s do pretty well

Don't buy for loud music. But for movies and TV, it's amazing

Gorgeous sound and features at an amazing price

 

I was skeptical of the sound quality when I ordered this item, but having owned several yamaha sound and instrument equipment in the past, I knew it couldn't be that bad. Upon receiving it, I was initially disappointed with the sound, but realized that...

•For the price, awesome sound quality that is way better than even more expensive competitors •Gorgeous design •Feature packed - includes bluetooth •Comes with digital and analog sound inputs

Audio quality over bluetooth a bit weak as it's compressed, but likely true for all bluetooth streaming devices

My TV doesn't have an optical output point and you didn't provide a cable to connect to the headphone jack that we had to use instead. doesn't ffect the quality of the sound tough and we are very happy with it.
