    Anyone who has this - what are your thoughts?

      I've got a similar model ATS-1080 and its Awesome !

        same here. I think I got the 1080 for around $160 from GG. Darn good speaker for the price. YAAMAAAHAAAAA

    • Very good!
      The bass and 3D surround work really well. I was skeptical first but it is impressive for the price.
      The clear voice function is also very good.

      As a soundbar, it's fine. If you can, I'd suggest rather spending $100 on a pair of bookshelf speakers, but that's not always practical.

      Contrary to Thranrond's comment, I really don't think the "3D Surround" setting is any good. Audio quality is much better on default and all other presets/functions are very gimmicky. Which is fine, it will still blow built-in TV speakers out of the water.

      My only complaint is that for whatever reason, the remote's programming messes with any app used on my Smart TV (Sony X90J) - any button press is interpreted as pausing/unpausing the app content. It's not a huge deal as chromecasting gets around it, and worst case you can still control settings for the soundbar using the soundbar app.

  • how does this compare with the hisense at $199
    https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/hisense-21ch-200w-soundbar-hs…

    • Its $189 now if you click on that button - "Price check now" on GG website
      TBH I'd still buy YAMAHA

    • I bought the Hisense, the sound feels hollow and the sub feels like nothing is happening. It's very soft.
      I had to double check by placing my hand on the sub to see if its actually doing anything.

    • I'd say just go for yamaha, mine has been working quite well (except for once that the sub stopped working, called yamaha did some troubleshooting and eventually got a replacement from harvey norman for the same model)
      Hisense products and their support has been quite horrible in my experience, I cant wait to change my piece of crap R7.

  • Mic any good for conference call?

  • Differences compared to ATS-1090B OzBargain posts?

    Otherwise seems like it was cheaper from Amazon previously $220 a month ago on 3camels

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/product/yamaha-ats-1090 $179 dropped from $288 before

    The post isn't linked same identifying tag/product?

    However, these posts all redirect to the same Amazon product listing

      From the previous models the B indicated black (or that's what I remember reading somewhere)

  • I know some are cautious about rtings but I am new to soundbars so any insight is good: https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/reviews/yamaha/yas-108-ats-1…

      If you want a soundbar, you are sacrificing audio ability/quality for design - hence why most cheap ones are poorly rated on rtings. Just accept that nearly every soundbar under $1000 sounds average at best. Spend the least possible that supports the connections you want if you are really after a cheap soundbar. The better of the worst IMO is Samsung HW-A450 as it sounds decent and has a dedicated subwoofer that has quite deep bass.

        Agree with what onlinepred said.

        More often than not a sub $500 soundbar will be outperformed by a $100 pair of bookshelf speakers. However, that's not always feasible for all rooms and obviously not aesthetically pleasing (to most folk).

        That said, I am confident in saying that any soundbar will outperform built in tv speakers with ease, so while it is not the best bang for buck in terms of audio quality, you will notice a significant improvement, especially with the trend of TVs getting thinner.

        I have this exact model and it does the job. The room I have it set up in is small, and due to space constraints (or general laziness on my behalf to mount speakers/deal with cables) this works fine. As far as soundbars go, I can recommend this.

      • Thanks. Yeah, I just want simplicity, integration and minimalism. Room is cramped and full of stuff already. Possibly get one for my mum too, so it needs to be easy to use, automoatic etc.

        • In which case, setup is super easy. I have a grey model which I think looks nicer.

          The unit comes with a digital optical cable but also obviously supports HDMI ARC (however, no HDMI cable provided). If you're like me and hate having 20 remotes for various devices lying around, it also has a fairly functional app to control everything.

          • @184letsburnitdown: Is it HDMI ARC which allows one to skip using the TV remote and just sticking to the one sounbar remote?

        • If you want better sound and connectivity but constrained by space, I would recommend the sonos arc. Without a sub, it still sounds quite good.

  • Having never experienced a soundbar before, do any even come close to a low end 5.1 surround setup?

    • The short answer is no - once you get into the +$1k soundbar range it becomes a bit more variable.

    • If you think of a basic 2.0 speaker setup, you have physical speakers at the left and right of the TV (preferably a little further away from your tv), then with 3.0 you add a centre channel. 5.0 adds two rear speakers that are spaced for left and right. Now a soundbar is basically just the center speaker, and two rears. It tries to emulate the two left and right speakers but often can't do that. If you want to compete against actual surround sound, have a look at Sony's HT A9 and get a sub with it. Otherwise a normal 5.1 system will outclass pretty much every soundbar in every way.

  • Can anyone recommend a good amplifier to connect 4 speakers under $200 ?
