My first impression of the YAS-108 performance is that it sounds darned good considering its reasonable price tag. Even though the LG E8 has an outstanding internal speaker system, I really appreciate the clarity and spatial balance of a sound bar when watching certain TV programs. No, the YAS-108 is not one of the high-end brands with an external sub-woofer. I bought it because we really don’t need a lot of thundering bass for our smaller upstairs family room.
I also have a Bose Solo 5 connected to our 2016 model LG 65-inch OLED TV that has awful internal speakers. The Solo 5 counters the speaker system deficiency perfectly. The 65-inch TV and satellite receiver are connected to our Yamaha 7.1 channel AV receiver system that is in the downstairs family room. We only use the AV receiver when watching high quality programming and the Solo 5 serves as the primary speaker system. After setting up the YAS-108, the Solo 5 served as a perfect baseline for evaluating its performance. My final verdict is that the Yamaha sounds every bit as good as the Solo 5, if not better.
Before deciding to buy the Yamaha sound bar, I read a lot of customer reviews on various internet forums, paying particular attention to the negative posts. I focused on the negatives because it helped me determine if the issues are user related or actual product shortcomings. Interesting, I determined that a lot of the negatives seemed to relate to simple human nature—like the lack of knowledge, unreasonable expectations, and/or denial.
I’m saying that the first human factor relates to reality--the reality that nothing made by man is perfect. I'm saying that brand-new items sometimes just don't work, i.e., defective. Yamaha products (as well as others) sometimes fall short of expectations. Next thing, the YAS-108 is not a high-end sound bar; it is an economy level device. It will never, ever produce thundering levels of bass. In other words, you can’t get blood from a turnip. Lastly, audio reproduction is, and will always be subjective. It is a matter of personal preference.
I’m just saying that I decided to buy an economical sound bar and it works pretty good (for me). Based on the feedback posted on Websites by others who purchased a YAS-108, I think it is for me good to share what I learned about it (as well as the Bose Solo 5).
1. First and foremost, make sure that the TV/electronics and sound bar firmware are up to date. This certainly helps with compatibility and troubleshooting issues.
2. Use the TV / sound bar HDMI (ARC) connection, if available (my Solo 5 model uses TOSLINK optical only). It appears to be the best route for synchronizing single remote functions. This option worked for controlling the “on and off” function on my devices (TV, satellite/cable set-top box, and sound bar). *** I could not get the ‘on-off’ feature to work using the TOSLINK optical cable connection.
3. Accept the fact that an HDMI (ARC) connection can sometime exhibit strange and inconsistent behavior. This is quite normal across-the-board—not just with the YAS-108. I’m talking about possible random disconnects or device synchronization anomalies--the infamous ‘hand-shake’ thing.
4. There ‘may be’ obvious ‘lag’ behavior between the TV / electronics and a sound bar when first turned on.
5. If the sound bar has an auto-off / sleep feature, read the owner’s manual instructions for enabling/disabling the feature. I found that the YAS-108 would random turn off when the feature was enabled.
Lastly, I’m in a ‘wait and see’ mode as far as YAS-108 reliability is concerned. I can say that I’ve been using Yamaha audio products since 1984 and I believe in them. I decided to buy a Yamaha sound bar based on the very reasonable price and years of confidence in Yamaha performance and reliability. For the money, the YAS-108 sounds darned good to me!!!
The bass is surprisingly powerful for it's size. Trebel is great. Not amazing but great. 3D Surround is probably something I'll keep on till this sound bar dies. Bass extension takes it to another level.
Comes with 1 HDMI in and 1 HDMI out. I was upset but, if your TV has ARC, then it'll just grab audio from your TV's HDMI ports. So, don't bother getting upset honestly. 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 (ex: Smart TV, Game console, PC).
If you live an apartment, Don't buy an external sub unless your place is bricked. The built-in subs are already powerful! (With bass extension on)
I've tried the app. It's simple to use. Does the job. Just wish the app had better UI.
Pros: Powerful bass, great overall sound, 3D Surround sound, 6 speakers (2 tweeters, 2 woofers, and 2 subwoofers) built-in for it's price, Remote is great, No distortion at loud volumes.
Cons: DTS Virtual:X.... It's horrible. It's supposed to simulate sound coming from the ceiling. Although it kinnnnnda do..... It really makes the sound really bad. You'll know when it's on when you see the surround LED blue.
You won't be disappointed when you buy it trust me. Yes, I'm an audiophile. No, this doesn't sound mind-blowing. But, for it's price, it's definitely worth it!
Edit as of May 4th, 2019: So far so good everything still works great. Watching movies on this thing is perfect.
Note: to get the soundbar to work on a Samsung TV with ARC, please connect the HDMI out port to the soundbar first. Then connect the other end of the HDMI to the TV. It should word.

Para mí era muy importante que aunque la salida de sonido de esta barra era evidentemente estéreo (2.2 canales), esta fuera capaz de recibir los 5.1 canales para sonido envolvente provenientes de Dolby, DTS y PCM y reproducirlos correctamente.
Mi configuración es por medio de ARC (HDMI) donde no he tenido ningún problema con mi TV, que es Samsung por cierto. De este modo se reproduce el audio en formato Dolby Digital y DTS (5.1 canales). Cuando quiero reproducir sonidos en formato PCM (en mi caso la consola Wii U y Nintendo Switch), tengo conectar mis consolas a la entrada HDM propia de la barra de sonido y conectar por medio de ARC (otro HDMI) a la TV.
Cuando reproduzco sonido 5.1 proveniente de fuentes como Netflix o Amazon Prime la barra de sonido recibe perfectamente la señal, la hace sonido 2.2 y con el DTS Virtual X te hace sentir que tienes sonido envolvente, en pocas palabras vas a escuchar los 5.1 canales aunque se reproduzca en 2.2. También cuando configuré el sonido envolvente de mi Nintendo Switch se escuchaban los 5.1 canales perfectamente.
Depende mucho de nuestra posición para hacer la virtualización del sonido envolvente, pues cuando cambio de una posición a otra, o me voy al fondo de la habitación evidentemente pierde el efecto envolvente.
En cuanto al subwoofer se escucha perfecto, no hace temblar el mundo pero te da la inmersión necesaria básica para cualquier película que estés viendo.
Es imprescindible que te bajes la App para controlar y configurar la salida de sonido de la barra de sonido. Este es el único contra que le veo, pues necesitas a fuerzas un dispositivo ajeno a la barra para poder configurar uno que otro detalle de manera practica. (A menos que te leas el manual y entiendas como puedes configurar todo con 4 luces y un control).
¿Como funciona el efecto Virtual?: No tengo idea.
¿Sustituye un sonido 5.1 físico?: No
¿Cómo se escucha el subwoofer?: Bien, incluso mejor de lo que imaginé.
Es la Yamaha YAS-108 y me tiene con sonido envolvente sin un teatro en casa como tal, me encanta y la recomiendo ampliamente.
If you're spending anywhere around 12k, strech a bit more and get this one, the additional value is much more than the extra 5 - 6k. Totally value for money for the kind of sound quality.
Good set of connectivity options. Optical cable gives you the best sound quality, but in case it's missing in your TV, hdmi works too. Bluetooth connectivity is as expected.
If you have fire stick, the best option is to connect the fire stick to the sound bar and then connect optical cable / hdmi from sound bar to TV. Its plug and play literally.
Has an android app to control the volume and other settings from your phone. It's pretty basic but works well.
Superb sound quality,powerful bass with clear voice
