Best compact sound bar for the price
Great sound. Enhances movie and gaming experience. Integrated subwoofer makes adequate bass but not quite powerful. As long as you dont turn it up all the way, it makes well balanced sound. Highs aren’t strong either as there are no dedicated tweeters. Left and right loudspeakers are good enough to cover a wide range of frequency and dialogues are its strongest point (clear voice setting: on). When connected via bluetooth and playing bass heavy music with Bass Ext. on and “subwoofer” all the way, it’s quite boomy and louder than a battery powered bluetooth speaker. It’s only a 2.1 channel so it won’t recreate a theater-like surround when watching movies or playing video games but there is clear stereo separation. It’s shy of 2ft wide and fits well nestled between my 40” tv stands. Connected via HDMI arc allows me to control it with tv remote and automatically bypassing the tv’s built in speakers. Got it on sale at $130, which is worth it. IMO, MSRP is a little high for its features and sound quality.

Great, high quality soundbar
Love this soundbar! Got it as a gift for my boyfriend who needed a sound system for his PC set up. The size is perfect to fit on a desk underneath your monitor. Amazing sound quality, volume, great bluetooth connection, easy to use — highly recommend.

Excellent Soundbar, Small Space or Not
As part of a TV upgrade for my mom, I wanted to get her a soundbar that would fit on a small table. She is in no way an audiophile, so a simple bar would do. This soundbar fits right between the feet of her 50" TV and looks great. But the sound: right away, my mom noticed the fuller, richer sound. This small bar even produces some bass. I connected the bar via eARC, so mom can control her sound with just her TV remote. In all, very impressed. For the price, and for the size, soundbar is great value.

Decent sound bar
Sounds decent for being my first sound bar. Its a big upgrade compared to tv speakers. I didnt want to spend to much money on a soundbar. Easy to hook up, basically straight forward. I used optical cable to tv. and pluged in the power cord to soundbar and it works. If your using this method make sure you take of plastic tips on optical. I didnt have to go on my tv menu /audio to change audio settings on my tv it changed automatically but you might have to on different brands of tvs. Highs sound good as well as the bass or lows. It does have built in woofer which is good because I didn't want a separate sub just the bar. The actual bar is not to big nor to small I'd say medium size. Feels light so cant say much about the quality of speakers. I got the warranty for it.

Excellent compact soundbar or speaker
The Yamaha SR C20A gives excellent sound for such a small soundbar. For background, I am using it in a 15x15 room as a desktop speaker. The sound can get very loud while still sounding clean (i keep it in Game mode as others have recommended). When watching videos or movies the voices are much cleaner than our Vizio M Series soundbar in our living room. The bass can also get very strong, but fortunately it can be controlled via remote separately from volume. At a Black Friday sale price of $130 this is a bargain, but even at MSRP I would have been very pleased with this purchase.
