What customers say about "Key Specs"
Yamaha ATS-1080 2.1 Channel K Ultra HD Bluetooth Soundbar with Dual Built-in Subwoofers
  • It meets our needs, though we are not audiophiles. Running it with HDMI cable and got it to run despite the terrible manual.
  • This sound bar has a very full, rich quality to it. Works great with my tv and it’s also terrific for playing my streaming music. I’m definitely pleased with it.
  • This one, the 1080 actually sounds better. Very happy with this product. Yamaha also makes very fine quality musical instruments, pianos, etc.
  • Surround sound is very good. 3D surround sound is awesome. Bass response is clear and room filling.
  • Since the high frequency is not crisp, I tried using TV speakers and even with optical cable there is a delay in sound.
Yamaha YAS-108 Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofers & Bluetooth
  • Sounds amazing for the price! Nice even representation of all frequencies, and adjustable internal subwoofer level.
  • Music sounds good, I get a nice deep sound when watching movies and TV.
  • The unit itself is low profile and feels very sturdy and nicely built. Remote is very nice with numerous modes and controls.
  • I have a hearing loss in the high frequencies. I can't understand most English movies, they sound muffled.
  • The bottom line is that there is a hole in the frequency response that makes male voices sound bloated but not particularly full.

Yamaha ATS-1080 2.1 Channel K Ultra HD Bluetooth Soundbar with Dual Built-in Subwoofers
  • This little soundbar has amazing sound for its size and price.
  • The quality of the sound, especially of the bass and surround sound is remarkable for its size.
  • This has great sound for a compact little soundbar.
  • Looks amazing, compact and unique compared to other soundbars.
  • I couldn't see the jacks on the back of my TV which is mounted tightly against a wall and is too heavy for me to lift and examine the back panel.
Yamaha YAS-108 Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofers & Bluetooth
  • The bass is surprisingly powerful for it's size. Trebel is great. Not amazing but great.
  • This is a great sized soundbar that produces clean sound. Now that they finally have the app working, I've finally been able to tune it to my liking.
  • It has good sound, it is compact, and it is inexpensive.
  • I was looking for a compact sound bar with a bit of bass without a external subwoofer for the TV in my room. And this one does it perfectly.
  • I have not wall mounted mine, the sound bar is heavy and substantial therefore, it is likely that it may fall.

What customers say about "Features"
Yamaha ATS-1080 2.1 Channel K Ultra HD Bluetooth Soundbar with Dual Built-in Subwoofers
  • The app is handy so I don't need to remember what the LEDs mean. It does require to be close to the soundbar.
  • The 3D surround feature is a boost and enhances the sound quality to astonishing levels for this small soundbar.
  • Whatever the volume level is, the voice is clean and even the bass is good on it. Love it!
  • Easy to install and makes my sound for Amazon Music, Digital TV Channels and Bluetooth off phone sound great.
  • Installation was simple (especially for a TV equipped with ARC HDMI). And sound quality is great for a single unit soundbar.
Yamaha YAS-108 Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofers & Bluetooth
  • Very simple install, and craftsmanship looks good. Also allows you connect to a separate subwoofer, but so far the built in bass seems pretty good, with enhanced boost turned on.
  • It was easy to install and easy to use. It Improved the sound of the television 100 percent and also the cd player.
  • I love the clear voice option, great overall sound compared to the TV speakers. I would like to state I did struggle to get it connected to my TV.
  • Installation is easy but setting the system took me more than expected.
  • Games come more alive, but voices are more muddied, even using the "Clear Voice" setting.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
Yamaha ATS-1080 2.1 Channel K Ultra HD Bluetooth Soundbar with Dual Built-in Subwoofers
  • I tested optical and HDMI connections to my TV and Bluetooth connection to my phone. Optical and Bluetooth worked well.
  • The remote is clearly marked and easy to use. Bluetooth connection was fast and easy.
  • HDMI is probably your best connection bet but this bar doesn't come with an HDMI cable.
  • I installed the Yamaha app on my phone and it connected, and then said "This app cannot control this soundbar" and defaulted to demo mode.
  • The hdmi/arc connection does not work with my tv.
Yamaha YAS-108 Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofers & Bluetooth
  • Bluetooth is great, can overlap over other things that's playing via ARC, HDMI, etc. Audio via Bluetooth is compressed so it's best to play it using something connected to it.
  • Love the "always on" Bluetooth. Easily connect/disconnect without having to walk to the unit to turn it on/off.
  • It's a nice feature that I can just connect via Bluetooth and then play music from my phone.
  • The optical port on the Soundbar was loose or defective because the sound kept cutting in and out.
  • Optical port is faulty and does not maintain consistent connection. Had item replaced and continued to see the same issue.
