Yamaha MusicCast 20

Handy top-plate controls ; Has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi ; Pleasant sound

Relatively poor bass depth ; Mono sound character

This isn't the best-sounding speaker in its class, but you do get special surround sound features.

Nice design ; Decent sound-quality ; Works well in stereo pair

No voice assistant ; Competition sounds better

The Yamaha MusicCast 20 speaker sounds pretty good, sure, but it costs more and doesn’t sound quite as good as the competition.

Outstandingly flexible specification ; Refined and capable performance ; Part of a very comprehensive product family

Can sound a little safe ; MusicCast 50 feels a little pricey ; Some minor software gremlins
