Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Really impressed, especially considering the price. My current setup consists of RX-V681 Yamaha receiver + JBL floor standing speakers + center speaker. I recently bought a smaller OLED TV for my den and needed a simple, versatile setup. I play guitar and consider myself a discerning, demanding customer. I am certainly an audiophile. Pros: 1) Very rich sound in 3D Surround mode, both for music and movies. Sounds superior to both LG and Vizio in my opinion. I did install the DTS Virtual:X firmware update from Yamaha official website.The firmware update was supposed to come out in August 2017, however, Yamaha managed to push it out much earlier on July 19th. 2) Easy, straightforward setup. Simple update procedure via USB stick. 3) Powerful wireless subwoofer rocks 4) Support for the latest and greatest 4K technologies - HDMI | HDCP 2.2 5) Slim, space-saving design. Cons: 1) Could've been sexier-looking. Wish speaker cover was made out of metal, not cloth. 2) Yamaha's remote control app (iOS) works well, however, it is somewhat ugly. 3) No support for Wi-Fi playback such as Google Chromecast, Spotify Connect, etc. Google Chromecast Audio dongle fixes all that for $35 or so. Please note that I wasn't not able to compare DTS Virtual:X with Dolby Atmos. Conclusions: Incredible bang for the buck - rich, immersive sound for less than $300 in a compact, lightweight, easy-to-setup package. Highly recommended!! UPDATE: I see that many people complain in their reviews that "the sound doesn't seem to come from above in Surround Mode as expected given that the sound bar supports DTS Virtual:X (aka "DTS:X") technology. We are not impressed - Doby Atmos is better." Please keep in mind that in order to experience DTS:X, you need both the hardware and the content to support the format. In other words, not only you need to have your Yamaha YAS-207 with the latest firmware update installed, the audio source (e.g. UHD disk) has to have a DTS:X sound track encoded on it as well. You won't hear 11.1 sound while watching Pacific Rim in 4K - the UHD lacks DTS Virtual:X soundtrack - it only has DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1. The sound will be surround but not DTS:X surround. You will, however be able to enjoy the DTS:X sound while watching Battleship in 4K - assuming your 4K player is set up correctly sending out non-PCM but Dolby/DTS sound (DD/DTS button is lit green while it plays the movie, and the Surround button is lit blue).
