Yamaha YHT-S401 review

 

Yamaha has a strong tradition in soundbars, but this isn't its finest by a long stretch

Weighty bass ; lots of control and precision ; good build

Thin vocals ; compressed treble ; not wholly intuitive to use

Quality build and controlled bass, but this is not Yamaha’s best by a long stretch

Yamaha YHT-S401 review

 

The YHT-S401 seemingly has a lot going for it, including Yamaha's rich heritage in soundbars and a comprehensive specification that makes a mockery of the similarly-priced Bose Solo. The YHT-S401 boasts four HDMI sockets, a headphone jack, FM aerial...

Yamaha YHT-S401 Sound Bar - A Cut Above the Rest

Excellent performance - neutral/natural tone ; 4 HDMI ports provided ; Option to add extra surround speakers

No wireless capabilities ; Receiver unit is heavy and a bit bulky ; Lacks cinema feel when playing movies

With regards to audio technology, the sound bar’s horizontal speakers boasts of Air Surround Xtreme and Music Enhancer - both of which are proprietary sound enhancements by Yamaha. The former is intended to reproduce 7.1-channel surround sound with...

Yamaha YHT-S401

 

Excellent boost to default HDTV sound, with great depth and finesse. Used for TV, movies, music and games. Easy to set up and position. Looks good (in case that matters) Control via Panasonic Viera Link works really well.

Doesn't auto-switch HDMI input.
