It's a really good soundbar for the price point. I have a Sony 43X800H and the sound wasn't good for the room it's in (which I already knew before buying it). It's not in its permanent place so I didn't wanna buy anything sound wise. but it got to be annoying. This one is pretty basic, doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles (which I wasn't looking for), and just flat out sounds good, especially when I added my Polk sub to it. If you're looking for a good 2.1 bar to make your TV sound better, then this is a good choice

A worthy buy

The Yamaha SR-B20A sounds good. I chose it for the Clear Voice feature and it seems to help me understand dialog on my TV. Music sounds good. Not as good as bookshelf speakers, but more than adequate for listening while life goes on. Set up was super easy! And the volume and mute controls on my Direct TV control the sound bar. I am using both the HDMI cable and the optical cable.

Not What I Was Hoping For.

I purchased this sound bar hoping it would help my hearing impairment, especially with the dialog issue. When I enable the "Clear Voice dialog enhancement option, There is little if any improvement. I have this connected to my TV using both the optical and HDMI ARC cables. Also, when I connected it to my LG 49UJ6300 Flat screen TV, for some reason I lost the volume up and down scale indication on the TV. The volume does change with the remote although the visual indicator is missing. When I contacted LG support, they suggested I reset the TV back to factory settings which I refused to do. I was very pleased with the sales representative, Simon, who help me and answered all my questions prior to purchase.

Excellent simple, clean soundbar!

I purchased this soundbar for my 1 bedroom apt. I previously had a 2016 Yamaha ATS-1060. It was working fine, but I wanted to upgrade, specifically for the DTS-X, Bluetooth 5 and cleaner design. First thing I noticed was how much better built this was then my 1060. Tighter and thicker cloth. The speakers were also better enclosed. On my 1060, you could pock a hole with your finger if you wanted to. Not with this bar. It is slightly larger at about .75" longer and every so slightly wider. Thickness appears the same. I should note that I had to use the included Toslink cable since my 2015 Samsung TV does not have HDMI-ARC. I did use my HDMI cable to place in the TVs regular HDMI, so I could control on/off with the TV remote. I also placed the soundbar lying flat in front of TV. I felt this speaker this speaker would sound better positioned on the wall. In stereo mode, there wasn't much difference and its just ok for that, but you need to play with the settings to get the sweet spot for YOUR ear. The Bluetooth 5 on the SRB20A worked perfectly. Much better than my 2.1 that my 1060 had. Now, with Movies, it sounds very good for a single bar. I was streaming, through FIOS, Wonder Woman 84 on HBO Max. Volume at 54, 3D surround on, extended bass on, bass set at 4, clear voice on. The DTS-X is a definitely an upgrade over my previous DTS virtual surround processor. The Bass sounded a bit tighter also. I would give it a 4.5. Thanks Cruthfie

Perfect option that's affordable

The Yamaha SR is great for any situation, whether it be for gaming, movies, or just listening to music. It has multiple features including subwoofer, 3D sound, clear voice, gaming and movie mode. Bluetooth connection makes listening to music convenient. For the bar by itself I would rate the bass 7/10 with subwoofer turned all the way up, but you can add surround sound speakers and additional subwoofers.

Great product!

Obviously there are more expensive sound bars out there. Listening to some friends' and comparing to my old, much bigger, pricier sound base, this unit is a bargain and sounds better than my old sound base. The different settings make a noticeable difference in dialog and music.Mine is connected to a small subwoofer (one of my must-haves) and the system sounds terrific. Interestingly, when I adjust the subwoofer settings on the sound bar, it seems to somehow adjust the external sub as well. Not sure if this is exactly the case, but I like it! Bluetooth works seamlessly for streaming. Also had some connectivity issues with a new TV and Crutchfield advisors are tops! Highly recommend this unit for the budget conscious.

Met my expectations as a huge improvement on my Sony TV's sound. It seems like one of the best sound bar values. I paid a lot more for the Zvox I'm replacing, and this sounds much better. I suggest paying extra attention to whether or not the connections suit your needs. This model is a little odd about what inputs/outputs it supports. It was perfect for my needs, but may not be for yours, e.g. if you're into having Alexa built-in. I just cared about the HDMI arc support, which works flawlessly. The bass is surprisingly adequate, even without an external subwoofer. The highs and mids are also clear. It can fill our medium size living room with plenty of quality sound. The remote lays out the features in a very clear and usable way. But I only use its remote occasionally to tweak settings for specific needs when they arise. In general everything happens through the TV remote.

Yamaha delivers quality

The Yamaha SR-B20A fits my audio needs in several ways: the size is perfect for my TV size (55" LG), the Bluetooth capability makes listening to Spotify from my Android phone fun & easy, and the sound choices (3D surround, clear voice, stereo, extended bass, movie, game) offer listening choices from streaming movies to live news. While not meant to be a high powered audio source, this soundbar delivers quality, an attractive look, and meets my all-around listening needs on several levels. I am happy with my purchase.

I purchased this sound bar as a house warming gift for my sister and brother-in-law (he's a film fanatic) and I went over to watch a movie and some tv with them. The sound was excellent, clear, and full. I thought the little subwoofers sounded great and not over bearing like a full system. It's nice to have a sub out connection though and the clear dialogue button works well. I liked it for the price and features and more importantly they like it much better than tv speakers.

Simple setup and decent sound

Bought this to replace a bulky low powered 15 year-old stereo receiver and speaker pair (Bose bookshelf) for our big 7 year-old LED TV. Goal was a simpler setup that wouldn't disappoint. HDMI ARC between the TV and soundbar basically took care of the "simpler setup" part, reducing the number of cables and remotes to just one. Although the room it's in in fairly large, the soundbar still does a decent job of proving clear audio without distortion. After trying out all of the options, I found that the Stereo preset with Clear Voice enabled to be our most used configuration.

Easy to set up; dialogue now easier to understand.

I wanted a speaker bar to improve quality of dialogue on TV. It is now improved and I can understand it better. This one was easy to set up. I had some initial problems with my remotes not working the way I expected them to. I called Crutchfield tech support. The tech support person concluded that I needed to reset the speaker (internal computer). That solved the problem. All works fine now.

As seniors, we were looking for a better sound and volume than our TV could provide. This is a great solution. It was simple to hook up. There are a few sound options on the remote. It is so much easier to hear dialogue and music from the movies. The sound quality is very good. It sits right under our TV on the stand, a perfect size. A good value, a good product, we are very happy. A great price and quick delivery from Crutchfield!

Quality Soundbar

Over the past 40 years I have owned and still own numerous Yamaha audio products. Never had an issue with any of them. About 10 years ago purchased a Yamaha YAS 101 soundbar. Still have it and it still sounds great. Needed another soundbar so I purchased a SR-B20A. No complaints. Sounds great by itself but I added a Polk PSW 111 subwoofer and it fills a large family room with amazing sound. The Clear Voice feature works as described and is a big plus when watching action movies with a lot of background noise. Highly recommend SR-B20A soundbar as well as Crutchfield.

I purchased this for my Sony XBR-49X950H television. Connection was simple via HDMI and the sound is significantly better than the TV sound alone. I am completely satisfied with this soundbar.

Excellent sound upgrade

I was concerned that this bar might not provide the sound improvement I was looking for, being that it's a 'lower end' unit. My concerns were unfounded. My surround sound system is more of a pain to use than it's worth, so I was looking for something that's mindless to use and still gives me the fuller sound I enjoy. I also already have a subwoofer, so wanted something that would take advantage of that and not add another piece of hardware. And I don't need WiFi or any of the smart features of higher end models. The Yamaha SR-B20A checks all those boxes. Once I got it hooked up, the difference in sound was immediate, even without the subwoofer. Voice dialog is crystal clear at very low to very high volumes and anywhere in between, so much so that it is actually clearer than my home theater system. With the sub plugged in, the sound is way more than I ever expected. Setup was quick and easy; just a little bit of fiddling and it's controlled through my cable remote. I am extremely happy with this purchase. Home theater system will be getting boxed up - I don't need it any more.

Excellent upgrade to tv sound

Really pleased with this soundbar. I already have a subwoofer from my soon-to-be-retired home theater system, so I didn't need a soundbar with another sub. The SR-B20A is one of the few with a RCA sub connector, which was a must-have for me. To be honest, I was concerned about how it would sound, being a 'lower-end' model. But as soon as I connected it, even without the sub, the improvement in sound over the tv was immediate. In fact, this bar actually outperforms my home theater system for watching tv shows and movies. Dialog is so much clearer and easy to hear, whether at super low night time levels or cranked way up for noisy movies. HDMI connection to the tv's ARC connection is simple and works flawlessly with my cable remote. Bluetooth connectivity is also simple to set up. If there are any cons, it's that the SR-B20A does not have WiFi or 'smart' features offered in the more expensive units, if that's what you're looking for. I don't need any of the frills and extras, so this one suits my needs perfectly. Overall I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Great Performance for less tnan $200!

Amazing performance for less than $200! I considered several more expensive options however after discussing with the Crutchfield Team this was the perfect solution for my current needs - to upgrade the soundstage from the existing TV integrated speakers . For anyone looking to spend a few dollars less, the "C" variant was surprising robust as well (SR-C20A).

Solid upgrade

I compared carefully against Yamaha's SR-C20A, and noticed this one is larger and heavier, which told me it'd have bigger sound, and it didn't disappoint, from a low-profile bar. In fact maybe a little too "boomy" sometimes, which is impressive since it doesn't have a dedicated subwoofer (which I did not have room for). Definitely far better than the TV's speaker. I don't love having (yet another) remote but I'm not sure there's ever a good choice with these sound bars unless there's some vendor-specific integration models which I've never found. I took a star off for two reasons: 1) no volume indicator, which not too many models have but I'd like to know it; 2) the "clear voice" setting doesn't seem to make much difference, and sometimes dialogue in some scenes is still low but that may be my environment. Not the cheapest bar I'm sure but a solid upgrade. Be sure to check the dimensions as mine just fits between the feet of my tabletop TV.

The Yamaha that wished it could but can't.

Not really impressed. Unit build quality is good but sound isn't as good as I was hoping for. Unit does good on voice improvement for tv but it can not handle any lower frequency. I gave my samsung sound bar to my son and law when I got this unit which is far superior for over all sound. After I received this unit the price came down by twenty dollars. This was an open box unit but I don't believe that there is anything wrong with it other than it is not ready for the big leagues. I will use this unit in the den and just use the surround sound system when I need it.

This is a NOT the greatest sound bar. I bought it thinking that a Yamaha would be decent even at this price. Yes, it's louder than the tv speakers but the quality of the sound is worse. It sounds tinny/metallic even at low volume. The bass is mediocre at best. Don't let the "built-in subwoofer" phrase fool you. I'm surprised that Yamaha would sell this. I didn't give it one star because of the price. You get what you pay for.
