- Yamaha’s winning formula for the YAS-207 (our favorite value-packed soundbar for years now) scores another success with the YAS-209, which keeps the major features of its predecessor, while adding extras like Alexa voice control and (eventually) multiroom audio support, all at a still-affordable price point.

The Yamaha YAS 209 comes as a pleasant surprise. It delivers power packed audio from such a compact size and with the addition of Amazon Alexa and mediatek chipset at its core, it makes a good team to ensure perfect audio quality and the overall performance of the smart speaker. The virtual 3D surround sound from one source only is the highlight of this gadget
Hey Can you tell how does it sounds without its subwoofer just soundbar itself
Great review I own this bar not crazy about Alexa and have owned this now for 4 plus months its the Soundbar I enjoy movie/tv shows is enjoyable.
Do you use 3D surround ?
@@bryannegron9427 Yes and the clear voice both help make movies/tv shows more immersive and expand the sound field.

@@zeyanahmed6155 Dull sounding no boom in action scenes in movies trust me and everyone else your going to enjoy it.
Your assessment of the virtual DTS sound quality was helpful as that was the feature I was most curious about. I currently have a Klipsch RSB-8 soundbar/sub system so I’m not sure this Yamaha would be that much of an improvement (if any)
So the consumer wants the bar to blend in and disappear but then Yamaha puts gloss on the porthole on the sub?? Anyway, just ordered this bar today and can't wait to try it out! Great video and thanks!
Why is there no sound coming out of the subwoofer of my YAS-209? It is connected to a TCL Roku TV. Thank you
How we connect to the sound bar to mixer but doesn’t have aux bec I want to put microphone in the mixer and I want to use sound bar for the sound but only hdmi in and hdmi out please help me thank u
Hi, I have an option to buy either Soundbar Bose Cinemate 1SR or Yamaha YAS-209 soundbar (both second hand). I am confusing which one would be better for listening music. Main purpose I plan to buy a sound bar is to play high quality music. I like the amazon integrated with Yamaha YAS 209 but in Bose Cinemate the alexa can be connected through an external cable (that is what the seller says). But I am wondering if Bose Cinemate 1SR would be better for music than Yamaha YAS 209. It would be great if you can give me your opinion about this. Thank you.
I have (for over 10yrs) the Yamaha YSP1 and it's still sounding great.. I did try hooking up a SHU sub to it and no sound from the sub.. I contacted SHU and was told it should work..
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Joe
Anyone know how this compared to the Vizio sb3621?
I'm just glad they called it YAS-209 instead of ED-209! :D
thank you for the review. How good is the Clear Voice, biggest complaint I have on our current sound bar?
I’m having problems getting the LG TV remote to connect to this sound bar.
Is there a Yamaha soundbar test video on UA-cam?
What tv do you have there and what size is it
to whom this question may concern:I wanted to know if my if with my yas209 soundbar is it best to have the subwooofer in the front by the tv or in the rear of the room near our couch? Also can rear surround speakers be added and paired with the soundbar via bluetooth maybe or no?
One of the best soundbars out there. Great app, flawless Alexa capabilities and decent sound quality. Mids are crisp clear, there is enough bass, and it is really good for music listening where most sounbars struggle.
I strongly agree great Sound bar from Yamaha.
Hey Can you tell how does it sounds without its subwoofer just soundbar itself
@@gujjo9825 Maybe one thing Sony is expensive.
What kind of adapter would be needed to plug an aux into this soundbar?
Can someone tell me what does it actually mean if someone has a Dolby vision capable TV but then goes ahead and purchases this soundbar which does not have Dolby Vision... what would be the actual outcome???
Good Presentation for a newbie. Thanks
Sound bar keeps cutting out, ( seems like it's resetting its self. ?
Yas queen
Does it have built-in Netflix?
As I use projector not tv
Are you able to turn the amazon Alexa feature off if you dont want to use it.
need to know more about NAS file sharing.. did this model able to play movie file ?
Have you guys reviewed the soundcore infini pro? I wonder how it compares to this.
hello.. in the video you mention HDMI ARC. My Samsung does not have an HDMI ARC port. There are 2 regular HDMI ports and the optical port. Does that mean that I cannot connect the Yamaha sound bar using an HDMI cable??
optical port
Shit product ccannot connect bluetooth if gets connected ....disconnecting again and again if you know the solution please guide
How does this compare to ysp 2500?
Can I use it to stream music from my Laptop wirelessly ?
Hi...I'm tooo Confused in deciding between Yas 209 & Yas 408...can you suggest the best for Music , Movies & best Theatre Sound Experience...Feature for both are quite same but reviews for 209 are more positive whereas only few spoke about Yas 408...so pls help me out...
Guys yamaha yas 209 or samsung q60t? And if yamaha is it compatible with the rear speakers 8500s of samsung? And can u usa q symphony on yamaha?
Thnk u guysss
Can anyone tell which make of TV stand that is, really want it.
that's a BDI corridor . . . hopefully you figured it out by now!!
Suggestion, pls:
on your movie the color of soundbar is gray rather, or brown even, than black (see scene together with Subwoofer, which looks realy black). Small improvement with ambient light adjustment (during movie recording) will help with this issue. The soundbar color is deep black, in fact. It could be confusing for some people they look for black color equipment. It would be a pitty not to buy because of this small issue... especially, as your presentation said (accurately) that equipment is almost INVISIBLE (also because of deep black color, not GREY :))
What do you think is better. The polk audio command bar ore the yas 209?
I am confused with the same 2 models, did you end up buying any one of those?
@@rajani829 me too. What did you guys buy? I also have a good offer on Harman Kardon Enchant 800, confused between these models...
Yamaha YAS 209 VS HARMAN KARDON ENCHANT 800? Which one do you recommend?
Anyone having a problem with the WiFi subwoofer. It's all paired and solid green light. But changing volume on subwoofer nothing happens?? Used both mobile and controller??i tried unplugging for an hour etc... Any help is appreciated
Yamaha! Thanks for making me feel better with that awesome bass!
Hi, is better sound then Sony HT-ZF9 ???
Yamaha needs to do a new soundbar with Atmos & DTS:X on it, their current one the YSP-5600 is horribly outdated now.
@NOOKEY69 Hard!! Nope, home theater in a box and soundbars are about the same to me. Underpowered receivers, cheap & plastic as hell speakers, and a uninspired subwoofer. It's better to just buy a separate receiver and your speaker/subwoofer brand of your choice.
@NOOKEY69 Hard!! Though I generally agree with you, home theatre in a box's vary a great deal on quality as does everything, BOSE for example was one of the first and I thought at the time they sounded pretty awesome but the actual part quality was really poor, literally using paper domes in their speakers.
You would think Yamaha would do either a upgraded sound bar or develop something with Atmos/DTS-X as everyone else has come out with one.
@@jefferyberg2850 is coz no sound bar should be expensive. If you are willing to pay 500+ $ for sound improvements go the AVR route, and yamaha knows best, they dont want to scam us, they know the sound bars limits since they are one of the most experts in thier field.
But if you just want a better sound clearer dialogue than your tv speakers and music playing buy a sond bar.
@@TJ.1 I highly agree mine is a little over a year old and this replaced my Yamaha Yas-207 which still works perfectly just wanted the use of Wi-Fi services which is a big improvement and makes the sound bar just amazing, otherwise the bars are the same and I agree with the reviews that's a good thing (DTS-Virtual X works great in my medium size condo living room and my family and friends were amazed when I asked Alexa to play Spotify and it cast the music to the bar and impressed everyone who i have had over to hear it! its amazing, this feature and a lot more all this from the Masters of entertainment no one knows it better or has been around longer than Yamaha hats off to them and to there continued success, I am a Yamaha customer for life.
Will the soundbar controller APP allow me to listen to the TV sound using my bluetooth headphones? I can do this with the Vizio soundbar that I currently own.
Hi Ryan, amazing reviews...Need your help in selecting best soundbar for myself..my distance from TV is about 11 ft and TV size of 50 inches...I am a beginner audiophile having a Dali floor standers in my living room...I am also going plug in a x-box in my room...I am looking for best possible all round soundbar for movies music and games...budget isn't that much of a constraint...look forward to hearing from you...also just in case if you think I should rather opt for a pair of active bookshelf...I am open to all suggestions. Thanks
What does soundbar have to do with Dolby Vision or HDR? I thought Dolby Vision and HDR are related to the image quality, not audio quality?
And does it mean Dolby Atmos is not supported on YAS-209?
I was thinking the same thing when he mentioned Dolby Vision and HDR10+. But if I had to guess, I think it has to do with people who’ll be using an external video source to plug into the HDMI input of the soundbar and then use the HDMI output of the soundbar to connect to the TV. So if the external video source is a blu-ray player that can play DV/HDR10+ content, that image enhancement won’t show up on the TV since the soundbar doesn’t support it.
But yeah, YAS-209 doesn’t support Dolby Atmos.
Larz thanks for the explanation mate. Now it makes sense
May I know whats the analog or 3.5 mm jack adapter call for the soundbar
Ivan Decimus Ligadu guess not
Amazon has adapters.
@@kylobritain428 you might loose fidelity
So is the Soundbar not working when i watch HDR or Dolby Vision?
Good question been eyeing this for a while now, waiting for Amazon Prime day but won't spend the money if there's a better option with Dolby vision
Can u add surround speakers
Just use standard mode, enable enhanced dialogue option. Every other option is useless.
Have they still not made this Alexa multi-room compatible?
Pair it with an Echo to use it
The subwoofer is connected but no sounds why? please let me know?
First, do I have to contact With Tv to the soundbar? then subwoofer sound will come to subwoofers? Or without contact to the Tv, it will work (sound)
The soundbar sound comes without tv contact but the subwoofer Sound does not work
Hey Can you tell how does it sounds without its subwoofer just soundbar itself
really bad thing about most companies is the remotes are cheap and crappy and that makes me not buy a lot of times that tells you their quality
I am confused between Polk magnifi mini and yamaha yas 209. Please help
Which is better and what you bought
Does it have support for Dolby vision and hdr10?
no
Was the crossover issue fixed? I know the YAS207 had a lot of issues with crossover (especially with dialogue).
Wade Hoffstetter Can
you tell me what you mean by this? Clear dialogue was one of the main reasons why I was considering this model.
Apart from Yamaha I've heard Sonos is the best for dialogue clarity
There's no crossover issues on mine - new drivers and on-board amplification makes for a different level of performance compared to the YAS207. It's not louder, but the DSP provided through the Qualcom chipset is better.

Which is the best soundbar
Should I go for YAS 209 or JBL 2.1 deep bass? Suggestion please
Jeff, which one did you finally purchase?
@@dudefromcbee Sony HT s350
@@jeffyjames4009 completely a different option. Any particular reasons or parameters that motivated you to go ahead with the Sony bar? Aside from price?
@@jeffyjames4009 reply man!
Nice video
this or a samsung 3.1 for $100 more?
Would love to know what are those white speakers in the background. Looks like they would cost a kidney! :P
thinking of buying this bar... should i?
reply for ur oppinoin
I have tv which supports Dolby Atmos and Dolby vision, this sound bar support dts x so is it suitable for my TV or should I buy Dolby Atmos sound bar?
Dts virtual X is different from Dts X.this soundbar only has dts virtual x
Do you need internet for the sound bar?
Stx_Pulse no
Like the contents, hope you don’t use the wake up words in the future, echo in the living room is going wild...
If you bought the 109 can you buy the subwoofer separate later on?
Yes you can
You can buy it later
Bit disappointed that you didn't sample it would have liked to hear it in Action!??
what you hear will not be how you hear it in person.. will sound worse
Actually this soundbar cant just cover in one review video, even I made review and Alexa tutorial two separate videos/
YAS 209 or Polk command bar? Pls suggest
What did you finally purchase?
@@dudefromcbeeboth, later i sold YAS and using Polk command bar.. Its superb
when i say alexa it is stimulating but the sound is not coming y
Hello. I’m using this product with my Xbox and connecting it with my phone via Bluetooth since a month and it’s so much immersive one with a splendid sound! The Yamaha! Mind blowing!!!
But the issue I’m facing is can’t connect with my Bravia LED tv which has no HDMI arc support.. if I wanted to watch a movie by connecting a pendrive on tv - this bar is not supporting on my normal hdmi port.
Will be there any solution for this?
The optical Out on TV
Hey Can you tell how does it sounds without its subwoofer just soundbar itself
@@zeyanahmed6155 hey without the woofer; it is like men without underwear in formal dress. Never choose this option. All in all , It’s damned amazing product.
@@rahimarshad1114 In my neighborhood one guy is selling it for only 50$ just soundbar itself ? Should i buy ?
@@zeyanahmed6155 no. No. Never buy it without the woofer and no other woofers are compatible .. ( maybe Yamaha woofer only compatible-)
This or denon s416?
To Digital Trends over to anyone else who might now, can you turn off the Alexa feature so it can't be listening in? I know you have to activate it but I'd rather just not have any of that potential for someone else listening in. It creeps me out.
yes there is a mute button for Alexa and it won't listen
How do I connect my phone to the sound bar
Not sure about the sound bar I come here to see review but if the sound bar come with blue tooth you can search from your phone, you'll see Yamaha sound bar blue tooth connection option.
Go to settings blue tooth connection on your phone.
is it 2.1 or 3.1
Is incredibly careful about saying "assistant"... proceeds to say "Alexa" 500 times.
🤣😂😅 Yeah, I noticed that too.
500 times respond in one time you are like won lotto.
This, or the Samsung Q60r? Later has 4k and HDR 10+ pass through
Somebody please ans. Even I want to know it.
Just bought the Q60R from Costco, not a fan going to return it probably. Bass is awful was expecting way more.
samsung Q80R!
How do I pair the sub to the bar?
Dude helppp did u ever figure it out can't get mine to connect wither
@@jasenpeterson6242 Sorry brother I returned mine back to Costco, I was really disappointed with it and frustrated experience overall
@yves valentine thats a damn shame I was feeling the same got it all figured out and felt that it just was lacking for the price
You seem to be not crazy about any issue you had with this device....
Yas 109 vs vizio v51 h6. Same price which should I buy?
If Vizio is available in your region, I'd go for the Vizio. Sadly, it's not really available in Europe
I have tried two Vizio soundbars and they sound good but stopped working after a few months. Not buying this brand again.
Just bought this and my Lenovo laptop is louder. It's too quiet to really hear until volume is at 50%. Is this what I can expect from this or did I get a bad one?
Hey Can you tell how does it sounds without its subwoofer just soundbar itself
Better than jbl 2.1?
Which is best soundbar under $300 for music lovers
Did you find out ? I’m looking to buy one
Currently $200 at Costco. Anything better at that price?
just bought one from costco yesterday!
Where can you buy the 207 for $240 or $230?
Ebay!
Hi, I'm from future.(2/1/21 to be exact)Currently, you can own one for only $200 at Costco. 😁
@@Ai-Galaxy-GS Really? I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the reply.
Don't care about Alexa or Goole on my soundbar have the Alexa Studio spend the money on better remote and better speaker totally!
Hold on. So if I use this soundbar, I can't play Dolby Vision on my TV?
Good question been eyeing this for a while now, waiting for Amazon Prime day but won't spend the money if there's a better option with Dolby vision capability
I guess it depends on how you connect your gear. If you use the streaming apps on your tv (if it supports Dolby Vision of course) or connect a Chromecast ultra/google TV or Apple TV 4K directly to your tv via HDMI arc (sending the sound data to your soundbar from your TV via HDMi/Optical) you should get Dolby vision. Perhaps you could bypass the soundbar via the HDMi-ARC out port but I’m not sure about that.
Does it support Dolby Atmos?
It does not. But you can get into some Vizio soundbars that start at $500 which do. Stay tuned for more reviews as we'll be looking at some of those soon!
No. Just regular Dolby Digital and DTS only.
2.1?
soundbars always look cheap even when they cost a lot, one exception the Def tech, B&W and bang and olufsen soundbars
Compared to many others $250 is VERY cheap, far from expensive but everyone has different budgets and what might be expensive to me is always going to be cheap to someone else.
I bought Samsung ht-sf150 sound bar only paid under £70 and it looks nice qualify looks good with some weight very😊 with my purchase so far it also has the HDMI arc and for the money does what I need. Recommend it
Where is the sound ?
How the fuck do you connect this shit or set it up man
i was waiting for a sound test. incomplete review
If you need to use Alexa to describe something try to spell it out instead. You were thoughtful enough not to use it in the beginning but a few scenes later with habit you started saying Alexa. Next time, A L E X A. ;)
Not 1 second of listening?
My wife's name is Juana and some ppl call her Juanita. So his full name sounds like Ryan Juanita to me.
This guy is mostly shooting down this soundbar.Mostly bad points than good.
my right ear feels lonely.. :(
Something wrong with your headphones, sounded fine to me
enough with the alexa add ons!
I agree 💯 percent because I'll never use it... just an excuse to raise the price. I know someone who has this soundbar, and she said that the Alexa doesn't always respond to her anyway...go figure.
It's a waste for me. It never identifies my commands. Can go without that happily.
tell me i am online now
Do not buy, Do not buy. I watch this video, purchase one. The yamaha APP is extremely difficult to use. Do not use a small company's soundbar, purchase a soundbar that follows your TV's brand. I returned.
Yamaha is a small company??
Yamaha is one of the biggest companies🤣
Yamaha, Small company...which universe are you from?
Jjajaja que pndjo
This soundbar is junk it always stops for no reason and it triggers Alexa when the tv says stuff like that. Had this since July GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Hey? Alexa? 🤔
It's true, just Alexa will do. But I find the lack of any greeting somewhat rude. ;)
dont buy it they are rubbish
Biggest piece of crap I've ever invested money into....hard wired in to the TV and and cuts in and out like its running on bluetooth....its absolutely infuriating
