Excellent for the price
Using this for watching motorcycle races on my monitor and for playing computer games, plus occasional music. Out of the box everything worked perfectly, set-up is very easy including Bluetooth, and although I did scan the instructions the truth is it’s pretty obvious what buttons do what. Has a nice little remote control (battery included). I have mine connected to my computer via Bluetooth - just turn on the soundbar, go to your computer settings screen, select “bluetooth” and click on the Yamaha option. Easy as pie. Except that I’ve never made a pie and would probably find it quite difficult. So ignore my dearth of baking talent and let’s move on, shall we? Sound is good! Considering the size and price ($129 on sale) it’s excellent! The 3D sound feature actually works and I can say I’ve never noticed such features work ever before on anything else. Somehow it fools my ears to believe sound is coming from far off to the sides…I like it. My main desire for any sound system is bass, though, and I bought this specifically because folks said it had good bass. The sound, not the fish. To keep you in suspenders (ha!) one minute longer, the mids and highs are great - clear, clean, quality you’d expect from the tuning fork people - and it does not sound like the vast majority of Bluetooth speakers, even expensive name brands, which I find always sound muted and/or hollow. Even big name BT speakers always sound pretty poor, in my arrogant opinion. Not this one. This sounds like it’s a real soundbar and just happens to be operating over BT. On the same vein, even the bigger BT speakers that claim to be bass monsters leave me underwhelmed. Disappointed. Aggrieved. Other words that mean ‘let down because no boom-boom good’. So how about this here Yammy-haw? Surprisingly good! That’s correct! Initially I was mildly okay with it as I played Teach Me How to Dougie; that’s my go-to bass comparison song because (a) it has very deep bass, (b) I like the song, and (c) there is no C. It was never going to shake the walls but it provided a little vibration to the desktop on which the soundbar rested. Eh. Turned on and off the Bass Extend button a few times, feeling a bit disappointed once again but blaming myself for having hope to begin with. Then I looked at the remote and paused momentarily. There in rubberized glory is a volume button for subwoofer!?! I increased the sub. It helped. I did it more. It helped more. I pushed that button till I knew it could hold no more, and hallelujah the bass came alive!!! It’s still a small soundbar with small speakers, but it made me soooo happy to actually get the desk to jiggle and to feel just a little salving bass massaging my soul! It will never replace a really, really good sound system. I have Sonos surround for the big TV which makes the house shake, but for playing Call of Duty or StarCraft or watching MotoGP racing this is way better than merely adequate. It’s enjoyable! And the surround feature thing is kinda like icing on the cake, although who eats cake without icing anyway? Seriously. Even muffins and cupcakes get icing. Iiiiiiiiicing…. Anyway, happy? YES! Long-winded? Also yes! Will you be happy with it? How would I know? But if you don’t require the windows to rattle while watching TV, or if you’re not in a financial place to buy a massive surround sound system, or if you just want decent noises for your computer games, this is definitely great sound for the price point. Best I have ever heard for the price, and I have a LOT of disappointing speakers cluttering up drawers and cupboards to base that from. I also ended that defense with a preposition. Dad would be so annoyed. He thought he taught me better. Quit reading this and go buy the soundbar already! ... show more

4.5 Stars actually - voice enhancement less than hoped for. It does NOT work with all TVs
Review of YAMAHA SR-B20A Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofers and Bluetooth I researched a LOT before settling on this sound bar and even had to send a different brand back due to a problem right out of the box. I was looking for a sound bar with voice enhancement/clarifying capabilities. But, I wanted a subwoofer too, and not just a TV speaker with voice enhancement. I am in my 60s but have always suffered some hearing loss ever since serving in the military in the artillery. This is a real sound bar and has dual subwoofers built in. It DOES NOT work with older TVs (more below). Likes: It has Bluetooth capabilities. This came well packaged and was easy to hook up. The sound is pretty darned good for having built in subwoofers. The remote works well and is responsive. It will come on and go off with your TV. Voice enhancement was helpful, but not as much as I had hoped. It is a decent looking sound bar too. The controls on the sound bar work well should the remote fail for some reason. It produces all the sound I need and the different modes work nicely and are easily chosen via the remote buttons, which are well labeled. Dislikes: It does not enhance/clarify the voices as well as I had hoped. You can tell some difference, but I still use closed captioning when anyone else is present in the home, including when I have my fur grandson as I don't want to hurt his ears. It DOES NOT work with older TVs, or at least it did not work with my Samsung that was almost 9 years old. It had HDMI and the digital optical output too. The sound bar did not work with both, or one of either plugged in. I ended up having to buy a new TV that had eARC HDMI available. At first, I had got hold of Yamaha customer service and explained what the issue was before I bought the new TV. Their customer service said it was a problem with the Samsung settings and I would have to contact Samsung. There were no settings in my older Samsung as they described so I hooked the sound bar up to a slightly newer VIZIO that my daughter's room had in it and the sound bar worked. I was just tired of messing around at this point and bought a new LG TV with eARC. All in all, I am pleased with the purchase although not happy with their tech support or claims that it will work with most and even older TVs. ... show more

A good soundbar a solid B+ Rating
Purchased 2 days ago now and I have to admit I am overall pleased with the purchase. I'd say for a soundbar under $200 it is quite a good product. For me personally I just wanted to have a good speaker for movie watching and this delivers. Now it is 120w so don't expect it to shake the floors or anything. But it delivers crisp sound and the built in subwoofers do their job. They can't beat a true dedicated subwoofer. But they do a good job overall. I watched a few movies and the 3d surround really adds to the audio experience. The lows are just ok, but the mids, and highs are excellent. The biggest let down would be music from my phone via Bluetooth is sort of hollow and not that great. But, for movies and TV it is excellent. I like that it is designed nice and it is minimalistic in that sense. It is wider then other soundbars but still fits nicely on a stand. The HDMIarc works nicely and it turns on and off with my TV quite nicely. It also doesn't turn off when pausing a movie. Installation could be done by a child so no worries there. Overall a good quality product that is a good addition for any mid size to small space. ... show more

Good Sound For Flat Screen TV
I have an 82” LG smart TV (it’s 6 feet wide). It has great pictures but not so great sound with the internal speakers. I wanted the sound bar to operate seamlessly with just the TV remote because my wife is not good with complicated set ups. I use the HDMI ARC Jack to connect to the sound bar and set the TV sound to HDMI ARC and it works seamlessly with the TV remote. The set also has a single optical output and I use a an optical splitter/repeater to connect to the optical “TV” input jack on the sound bar and to my home stereo. When I watch movies I select optical out on the TV set and the sound bar automatically switches to the optical input as the HDMI ARC is dead then (my TV doesn’t allow both HDMI ARC and optical audio output at the same time). I turn on the stereo and select the optical output from the TV. My stereo and the speaker bar are in perfect phase (no out of phase echo on dialog) and the speaker bar effectively acts as the center speaker. I wouldn’t say the speaker bar by itself is a great music speaker system, though it’s probably considerably better than no external speaker and listening to your iPhone or iPad. It has a reasonable low end response, but does not have a true thumping bass response. It’s a matter of physics - It’s very hard to get good base out of a speaker so thin. But it does a good job for ordinary use. And in conjunction with an external good quality stereo is an excellent center speaker. I urge you to look up the Yamaha App for your smart phone or tablet. It gives you feedback of the settings and a way to adjust the things. Using the remote works but interpreting the over-simplified built in status lights is a pain. But the Yamaha App solves that. Be aware that there is more than one in App Store but only this one works with this sound bar. (See the screenshot). The good: (1) Works well as a speaker bar seamlessly controlled by the TV remote when connected to the HDMI ARC of the TV. Better sound than the original TV speakers. (2) Works very well as a center channel audio speaker when using an external stereo with both the sound bar and the stereo fed from the TV’s optical output. (3) The App let’s you see and control the should bar settings. (4) Automatically selects the correct input HDMI ARC or TV optical based on which is active from the TV. Room for improvement: (1) An optical pass-through output would be appreciated for use by an external stereo when using the sound bar as a center speaker. Note: If you observe audio sync problems (lips out of sync with audio) go to the TV’s audio set up. My TV has an option for adjusting the video to audio sync. It’s not the fault of the sound bar and it’s correctable. Update: I originally mentioned that the sound bar automatically selects between the HDMI ARC input and Optical TV input depending on which has a signal. It does not always and consistently do that. I changed the hook up so that I use the separate dedicated optical input for the optical input from the TV and manually select the “Optical Input” when I am running on the optical sound output from the TV. (Only necessary because my TV does not have a mode that allows using both the optical output and the HDMI ARC outputs simultaneously.) This did not affect my rating of the sound bar. By the way the primary reason for using the optical input is that it allows me to use my existing high end stereo for movie sound (via optical input) and the sound bar as the center speaker. Also using optical for both the sound bar and the stereo makes the sound bar perfectly in phase with the stereo - No echos or distortions. ... show more

A great product.
I absolutely love this Yamaha SR-B20A Soundbar. Just received it a few day ago and it was easy to hook up (just follow the instructions that are included), I used a new HDMI cable, & hooked it up to a Samsung 65" smart TV that has a ARC inlet on the backside of the set, it came right on, no problems. I replaced a Samsung soundbar I had been using for 14 or 15 years, which was a good one, but not as clear/sharp sounding as this Yamaha. Mine is not mounted on the wall, it is in an upright position on the shelf just below the TV, the 6' foot cable was more than enough in length. Easy to use remote, but to change channels or sound volume, I use my Direct TV remote. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! ... show more

I’m very pleased with the B20A sound bar
I have a new 40’ class A RV. The TV is ok, a Connex. The original sound bar that came with the unit was poor! I did some research to find one our family would love. This unit is perfect! The sound is very good and loud for the medium size space. It adds great theater for the TV and the music is very rich. I definitely recommend this Yamaha B20A and am thinking about one for our home den TV. Installing with the provided optic connection was easy, but I wanted one remote to control all. The HDMI ARC can support the TV remote to run all. I did have issues getting the Connex settings to recognize the TV using the ARC HDMI. After some chatGPT help I was able to get the Connex settings correct. Again, not a Yamaha issue! The remote is so/so but there is a phone app that is excellent. Pros, sound quality Bass Look Medium room loudness Phone App remote Cons, The remote No hardware to wall mount No HDMI ARC cable provided This is a good sound bar at a good price. ... show more

ARC issues
I purchased this soundbar mostly for two reasons. I trusted Yamaha to make a good sounding product, secondly because it has an analog sub woofer output. I assumed that since Yamaha doesn't build TV's that they would be more likely to be compatible with most brands. TV manufacturers bar's would always work with their own TV's, but what about other brands? Unfortunately HDMI Audio Return does not work between my new TCL TV and this sound bar. It works fine with optical and I'm able to control volume with the TCL remote so its not the end of the world, but definitely a disappointment. Their tech support responded, but didn't really have much advice other than trying other HDMI cables. I have one cable that ARC works intermittently, and purchased a new cable that's specified for it which doesn't work at all. I need an analog sub woofer output. I have an existing sub that's great, I wanted to use it. That part worked out well, it integrates with my powered sub nicely. It has enough bottom end of its own that the crossover to the external sub is smooth. For a lot of programing the bottom end from this soundbar is OK without the sub woofer, but it definitely is needed for some movies. In terms of sound quality it's just OK. I wasn't expecting much by way of surround sound, nor was I looking for that. It doesn't actually have much by the way of stereo separation either. The clear voice feature does work, and was a reason for me selecting this one. But if the mid's were more clear it might not be necessary. The bottom end is decent without my sub, I don't expect big bottom out of anything this small. All in all this isn't a terrible soundbar, and it isn't priced as a premium product. I'd be happier if ARC worked, and would be happier if the midrange was more defined. ... show more

Great sound, easy set up, and tunable to taste
Did a fair amount of research for a sound bar in family room. Was hoping for a significant upgrade from my terrible TV speakers that made voice nearly inaudible among plenty of annoying noise from ‘sound trickery’ audio processing. Goals were modest cost (not a prayer I’m spending $500-1000+ for ‘high end’ bars, I already have a solid full range system), ease of use (so, ARC), Bluetooth, good looking (none are great looking IMO), no Google or Alexa (have plenty of those), and no sub (ugly in a family room IMO). Mounted this to the wall (template helps level and ID hole placement), ARC made instant setup easy with my TV, instant recognition and working as quick as you can plug in power and the HDMI cable (NOT INCLUDED). Bass is plenty for what I expected, a bit better actually. Sounds high quality and warm, not tinny or hard like some. Dialogue enhancement makes a big difference. Plenty loud for watching a game with a crowd or Netflix streaming with the kids. Will still use the media room/full range system for big movies, but this will take over some light lifting from that system and the rest of the TV duties for sure. Will it replace a surround system? Heck no - if anyone says it’s even close, they don’t know audio. Nothing replaces front and rear full range speakers and subs with a high quality receiver. But this Yamaha is a great sounding, affordable bar with plenty of audio options to tune sound to preference. Recommend using the Yamaha app for fine tuning, but once set, I will just leave settings as is for 95% of use. Nice to have Bluetooth streaming for times that we just want to clean house or cook and listen to playlists. If I didn’t already hav Alexa Studio in same room, would have probably wanted that feature. Hope that helps anyone searching around. ... show more
