So there’s a few reasons why I narrowed down my search for the perfect soundbar down to the Yamaha SR-C20A.
Sound quality was obviously the most important factor, but also size, functionality, connection options (BT, Aux, HDMI) and of course ease of use are in there too.
Firstly the sound quality. Well I’ve been absolutely blown away by what this little fella can do. It has a lovely warm and rich tone which makes not only watching TV, movies and games a joy to listen to but also listening to music is a pleasure too. Clear and accurate sound with lots of user controls so you can tweak the sound to your liking!
There’s a ton of sound options (all controllable for the remote and also a dedicated smartphone app which is super cool) and my fave is enhancing the dialogue when watching TV (which is great if you find the talking from some of those US dramas/movies a little hard to make out!) and makes the speech so much more intelligible (you may not need subtitles again!). That is one of the main reasons to buy a sounder to be honest, to get GREAT sound out of a TV and boy does this improve ANY TV’s built-in speakers!
There’s also really surprising bass control and the internal subwoofer does a brilliant job of enhancing the sound in movies and games, I was (again) very surprised how such a compact sounder can do this, some crazy magic in there!
That brings me to the next factor and that’s the size. It’s compact enough to fit under any TV even those as small as 32” so no longer do you need a sounder that’s wider than your room, or so tall it obscures the bottom part of your TV. Oh and I also tried it out in front of my gaming monitor in the office, and it performed REALLY well (it also has a dedicated gaming mode) and although I mostly use headphones for PC gaming, the Yamaha C20A would be a great choice if you wanted decent sound on your desk, in a small form factor.
Not only does it have an Aux input (a simple cable from your phone/computer etc) but on top of all that it has bluetooth so you can even use it as a Bluetooth speaker !
It’s super easy to plug in and use, and even has a USB port to update it whenever Yamaha make any further improvements.
This soundbar is pretty much perfect! Compact, decent value, lots of options and functions and most importantly really GREAT (and surprising) sound.
As a previous owner of other bigger, more expensive and well-known brands of soundbar, this Yamaha C20A is my new absolute favourite! Just go buy one!
