What customers say about "Key Specs"
Yamaha YAS-203 Sound Bar with Bluetooth and Wireless Subwoofer
- The subwoofer has a separate volume control, so you can easily adjust the low frequency booming if you risk bothering the neighbors or sleeping kids.
- Lower Range Base Frequencies are good and Clear Voice feature is also useful.
- The frequency handled by the unit is really the normal bass sound.
- No dedicated center channel, and no separate high frequency drivers.
- Sub could be a bit more powerful (although it seems to be improving).
- The subwoofer is not as powerful as my last system from Sony even at its highest setting but the sound is much better balanced and dialogue is better.
Klipsch R-10B Bluetooth Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer (Satin Black)
- The sound is well balanced across the frequency range, but since the subwoofer has a volume control, the low end can be adjusted to your preference.
- I have the woofer turned all the way up and positioned the box in a corner to improve bass response but was hoping it would be better.
- Powerful and well made product, easy to setup and connections are simple that even a 5 year old can set it up.
- This minimalist sound system will blow you away both with how crystal clear the sound is and how unexpectedly loud and powerful it can be when you crank it up.
- Even when the sound bar is powered down, it will power up and try to pair with any blue tooth whether your want it to or not.

Klipsch R-10B Bluetooth Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer (Satin Black)
- It is a nice size soundbar so I had mine connected to the TV mount. Looks great!

- This speaker and woofer provides surprising great sound for it's size and price.
- The only thing I don't love is the remote. It's the size of a match box. Something a little larger and more sturdy would be nice.
- The subwoofer is very heavy and works wirelessly. I hurt my back while I set it all up.

What customers say about "Features"
Yamaha YAS-203 Sound Bar with Bluetooth and Wireless Subwoofer
- The installation completely simplified my AV system by accepting input from my TV via optical coax.
- I am impressed by the ease of installation and the quality of the sound.
- The sound bar itself is nice and solid, looks goods and easy to hook up.
- Lower Range Base Frequencies are good and Clear Voice feature is also useful.
- Everything sounds good except voices are a little muffled when watching movies through the TV or blue ray player, even when I switch it to the clear voice.
- Couldn't find way an Easy way to access EQ to change such simple controls such as Bass and Treble levels.
Klipsch R-10B Bluetooth Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer (Satin Black)
- It's super easy to install and I think most would agree that the sound quality couldn't be beat for the money.
- This has really enhance your TV viewing. With movies it's like sitting in a theater. With sports games, it's like being in the broadcast booth.
- It is being used in a large room and the sound is great. An even bigger plus for us is how much it enhances the dialog from the TV.
- The Yamaha's remote is basic, but 1000x better than Klipsch's, which is a joke. Basic volume buttons are a chore to use, and you'll use those with high frequency.
- The subwoofer is weak and doesn't handle music with heavy bass - it just rattles like it is underpowered.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
Yamaha YAS-203 Sound Bar with Bluetooth and Wireless Subwoofer
- Bluetooth is a nice feature as well. Overall design once again is Okay.
- The Bluetooth paired with phone easily.
- The bluetooth sound is pretty good and the bar prompts your iphone to get an app for enhanced control.
- Wire connections include inputs for optical and coaxial digital audio and stereo RCA
- Subwoofer connects automatically via bluetooth.
Klipsch R-10B Bluetooth Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer (Satin Black)
- I connected it to a 9 year old Sony TV via the optical cable provided and moved the sub woofer around a couple of times to test for the best sound that suited me.
- Bluetooth connection to my iPhone 7+ is a little sketchy, but the workaround is to just stream my music through the TV first via AppleTV.
- Also has bluetooth input so you can stream audio from your phone or any other bluetooth enabled device. Very easy to connect.
- I just purchased the unit and used digital output to connect to my LG tv. And everything works amazingly.
- The final issue is with the remote which loses its connectivity with the bar periodically and unpredictably and basically is worthless.
