Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Pros mentioned:Price, Sound qualityCons mentioned:Mounting, Set upThis soundbar produces Yamaha quality sound...no question about it! I have MusicCast receivers throughout my house so I have been trying to figure out the best way to get the Bedroom integrated in the system. I didn't want to purchase another receiver for the bedroom since it requires so much space. Yamaha did a nice job making everything wireless and easy to hide when you don't have a ton of space to hide components. What I love about this soundbar: - Plug and play setup. - Wireless subwoofer. - Great sound for the price. - MusicCast integration into the rest of my house. What needs to be improved: - The lack of on-screen setup and configuration is frustrating for 2019. - Placing the required MusicCast connect buttons in a location that is nearly impossible to reach if the soundbar is mounted too close to the TV is ridiculous. - Yes, this soundbar can be mounted on the wall (and should be in my opinion) but the wall mount holes are nearly impossible to use without extreme patience. A soundbar of this quality should include a mounting bracket that gets properly secured to the wall and provides the capability to be attached/released from the wall without major issues. A paper template and tiny holes that have to be aligned +/- 2mm is insane for a soundbar in this price range. I would totally get it if this was a $200 sound bar...but it is not.

|Posted .Pros mentioned:Flexible, Size, Sound qualityI would recommend this to a friendBought for my bedroom. Love the size of how it fits below my samsumg NU8000 series TV. Was pleased to hear the subwoofers performance completing the system's sound. I did a lot of homework before purchasing this item and needed something in the bedroom to augment my music cast ecosystem. I found this to be exactly what I was looking for in the price range. When my budget allows (and they go on sale), I plan on buying two Yamaha 20 MusicCast 20 to complete my system to a 5.1 with the option of relocating the 20's to other parts of the home (outside deck/patio) when we are entertaining guests. Love the flexibility.

Excellent sound bar!
Excellent sound bar!
|Posted .Pros mentioned:Sound quality, Surround soundI would recommend this to a friendI purchased a Samsung 55" Q8 along with a Samsung HW-N650 sound bar to compliment each other. About 3 weeks later it stopped working, wouldn't power up. I returned it to Best Buy and had a new one shipped to my house, as they didn't have another in stock. The new one arrived within a week and I set it up a couple of days later. Right out of the box it wouldn't power up. Back in the box it went and to Best Buy the next day. I started researching other sound bars and came across the Yamaha Music Cast 400 that got good reviews and it just so happened to be on sale at Best Buy. They didn't have any in stock or on the floor to listen to, but I bought it any way, figuring if I didn't like it I would return it. Again, I had it shipped to my house and it arrived within a week. Setting up was easy and, boy, I wasn't disappointed! It sounds so good. I like the " clear voice " mode as my hearing isn't the best and it makes dialogue sound better. There are 3 sound modes: standard, surround, and 3D. I find surround to be my favorite. The sub sounds very good and has adjustable volume. It has an ethernet connection if you need it and wifi. It has plenty of volume. The one thing I'd like for it to have would be a some kind of control setting to keep the volume even when you change channels. Other than that you won't be disappointed with the Yamaha Music cast 400. Oh, yeah, I forgot to add that Yamaha has a speaker kit to add wireless rear speakers if you want.

Great versatility, good sound, dodgy ARC

|Posted .Pros mentioned:Sound qualityI would recommend this to a friendPros: wireless versatility (other MusicCast speakers, AirPlay, Pandora, etc.), sound quality, aux input (unavailable on Sonos Beam, principal competitor), app functionality (nice to control volume with iPhone volume buttons, too), Cons: "works with Alexa" is not nearly as helpful as having Alexa integrated, only one HDMI input (Yamaha wants to sell receivers, too), and--most frustratingly--the ARC throughput is unreliable on my TV. I upgraded and replaced all of my HDMI cables to no avail. The sound quality is fine over the optical input but for whatever reason the volume is lower--not a problem in my apartment, but it perhaps would be in a larger room.

|Posted .Pros mentioned:Surround soundI would recommend this to a friendExcellent surround sound and excellent voice clarity. Easy set up but can't seem to connect the musiccast app to the sound bar so far. Only had it for 3 weeks so it will get figured out at somepoint. Very good system for $499.
