Yamaha YSP-2700 MusicCast Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer
- Sound quality is good; however, adding an additional powered sub would enhance overall fidelity -- not an option with this sound bar.
Bose SoundTouch 300 Soundbar, works with Alexa
- Powerful- this thing gets very loud in my opinion, I have been keeping it at 50-75% and that's more than loud enough for movies and music filling a good size room.
- Power wise, I keep the volume at 50% or less, and it's plenty loud and clear.
- I can't place a review on this alone, but combined with the subwoofer, this thing is immensely powerful.
- In the store they all sound great, get it in a large room just didn't have the power I heard in the store.
- This sound bar definitely lacks the deep and powerful low.

What customers say about "Features"
Yamaha YSP-2700 MusicCast Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer
- The music app on phone is good enough.
- Installation of the YSP-2700 was very easy and can pretty much be done without even referring to the instructions.
- I can't believe how dynamic the sound is when watching movies in Dolby Digital!
- Obviously it isn't a component system with standalone speakers but it produces big sound and good effects and I got a good deal!
- This sounds good but I hate how it turns off the picture to my tv when I listen to music from my phone. When entertaining I like to have some HD playing with music. This could be something I have not configured correctly and will update as I play with this more.
- Audio quality was okay but nothing spectacular and underwhelming surround for a product that is labeled for 7.1 channel effect. Subwoofer had a localized effect and often pulls surround effect towards it. I have an open lay out living room probably why I had no back surround effect.
Bose SoundTouch 300 Soundbar, works with Alexa
- Set up was a breeze and the system changes effortlessly between inputs just by powering on the media format you are using.
- Great. It was easy to install and sync up with my TV. I can hear clear sound from many points in my open floorplan.
- This is a Great product and easy to install. Template is available that makes the installation easy to do compared to other products where you have to do a lot of measurements.
- Stereo TV shows as well as Dolby Digital shows, sound great.
- Best Soundbar i ever had , Please improve the sound touch app and Voice assistance (ALEXA and Google Home) compatability better and make it as good as the Remote .
- Spotify playlists are buried down below (should be the very top of the list).

What customers say about "Connectivity"
Yamaha YSP-2700 MusicCast Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer
- The sub-woofer is Bluetooth (no wires from your soundbar) which is very convenient, but it must not be obstructed from the soundbar with furniture.
- I've bought the Yamaha YSP 2700 soundbar because of it supports for bluetooth AAC and airplay.
- Yamaha YSP 2700 is ideal in size, aesthetics and functionality (4 HDMIs including one ARC HDMI, Blue Tooth, Wifi, Ethernet port, Air play etc). This will not disappoint. Highly recommend.
- It works great as an AirPlay speaker for our iOS devices and we route our HDMI devices through the bar.
- The bluetooth connection is breaking all the time to an extend where it is impossible to listen to anything.
Bose SoundTouch 300 Soundbar, works with Alexa
- The Bose soundbar is an excellent speaker that can be used for all wifi and Bluetooth devises.
- Love the fact that this soundbar has both, the Bluetooth and wifi feature!
- Moreover, it includes Bluetooth with NFC and pairs easily with BT devices to allow video and music playback.
- Love that it connects with one HDMI cable. Very good sound.
- Do Not Buy This Product if you plan to use WiFi! The set up is insanely complicated -- we have now spent more than four hours and it still does not work and we are experienced with computers and sound systems.
