Yamaha sound bar

App and soundbar are intuitive and easy to use. Very good spatial audio and sound!

Great but…

A great option, specially as it doubles as an alexa. The only thing is that I haven’t been able to turn it on by voice command. Searching for the remote control becomes a hassle.

I love my soundbar! Great soundbar

Interrupts me with using the app

Performance and sound rate three star. Because the stupid app asks for a review while I am quickly trying to use it the app gets one star. Stop interrupting me! Request review when I exit the app instead of when I am frantically making changes while watching a TV program. Also, worst remote ever. Responds poorly and slowly.
