For soundbars it is pretty good!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was sceptical but after using for a few months now, I like! Great sound and base!! It's nice to have a few sound choices! It would be cool if they had rear speaker addition options available but still sounds great!

Yamaha 209bl
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up although App needed an update before I could finish. Bought this to supplement sound from new Samsung Q80T that I had just purchased and it greatly improved the sound. Subwoofer does it's job very nicely.

Amazing sound from such a small form factor
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is really great and lives up to the reviews I had read prior to purchasing this set up. This replaced an older sound bar system I had which I loved, but was damaged in storage.

Great Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After doing a bunch of research on sound bars, I landed on this one to purchase as a gift. I am very pleased with the sound quality and the subwoofer supplies plenty of bass.

Great for the price, but very directional
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good for a small room, but thats about it. Sound is pretty tinny especially when using the simulated surround. The massive subwoofer is supposed to fill in all the gaps in the lackluster bar but then you end up with alot of the sound coming from one spot in the room. At this price point there isnt much competition and its definitely top of the crop, but if you want a more full sound, id look elsewhere

Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar is great. It took quite a while to get the Subwoofer attached. It doesn't come with instructions and what's on line didn't help much either. Other people's comments were pretty much like ours. Very strange. It's working now and everything is okay.

Great quality sound for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.High quality sound and Alexa feature is nice. Was to set up and synced well with home WiFi network. Definite upgrade from our previous Samsung sound that died after a few years.

Yamaha 209 vs Samsung MS650
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good soundbar, I can hear the base, instruments, and vocals separately. I also own a Samsung all in one MS650. The Samsung has more of in your face presence but lacks the 3D depth of the Yamaha. The yamaha is good for my man cave, whereby I can just pump the volume and still maintain clearity

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Compact and good sound. Alexa works well.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pro: -Sound is good -Alexa mic can hear commands over loud playback -Compact -Stream music from mobile device or streaming service with app Con: -1 HDMI in -No display -Indicator lights are hard to see and read -Sub is a bit weak for its size -No multiroom setup This is a good 2.1 soundbar. It’s simple to use and produce great sound. The sub is a bit weak for its size, but does pack enough punch. The lack of a display does make it harder to adjust settings, but those can also be done with the app. The app is required in order to set up Alexa and other network features. The Alexa feature works well, even over loud music, and be used to control the soundbar. The remote is very minimal and compact making it easy to use. The soundbar is compact measuring about 36” x 3”. On the back there’s only one HDMI in, along with an ethernet port and an optical port. However the space is a bit tight and the HDMI cables will likely take up most of the space. In the front, there’s no display and only have small indicator lights on top. The way they light up makes it hard to tell what your settings or volume level are especially when you’re sitting far away. The wireless sub is quite big at about 17” x 7” x 17”. The remote is small and simple to use. Power, volume, inputs, sound mode, and an Alexa button. The battery cover is really hard to remove though. The sound is excellent for its size, and plenty loud enough to fill the space. However, It’s just not quite enough to give the area a full immersive sound. There’s an option for 3D virtual surround that’s supposed to make it feel like the sound is coming from all around, but whenever I tried it, it made the sound quality worse with a hollow and metallic effect. There’s a Clear Voice option that helps bumps up the dialogue in movies which I usually leave on. There are also preset sound modes, but I didn’t notice any major differences between them. The wireless sub can give enough booming sounds for music and movies, though I thought it would do more given the size of it. I had it turned up to max for it to make enough of an impact. The built in Alexa is a great feature and works better than my other Alexa devices. Not only can it hear commands while playing loud music without the need for me yelling at it, but the mic is sensitive enough to pick up my voice from another room even over another Alexa device next to me. It can be used to control the volume, switch inputs, stream music from Amazon Music service, and all other Alexa skills. The one thing missing is the lack of a multiroom setup with the Alexa app. Seems like a missed opportunity since it would make a perfect fit. The app works fine but the UI can be simplified more. Sometimes you have to flip through a few pages to get to where you want to be. It functions the same as the remote, but is easier to see your sound settings within the app. The main function of the app, other than setting up the network functions, is to stream your music either from your phone or from Spotify. It works well for that. You don’t have to go through the steps of switching the soundbar to bluetooth mode and connecting it to your device. It all works seamlessly. Overall, a good buy. Sounds pretty good, it’s compact, and Alexa works really well. Having only one HDMI in and the lack of a front display can make it less convenient but also not unexpected at this price point.
