Super enjoyment.

Super enjoyment. The house "...is alive with music." Quick ship and excellent price. Thank you, this completes our MusicCast setup with a TSR-5830 in the great room, WX-010 in the gazebo, WX-050 in the kitchen, and WX-020 in the bedroom. The WX-010 and the TSR-5830 do not support Amazon Music or Pandora, but with linking from the newly updated app (August 2022) all the speakers play Amazon Music and Pandora. The WX-010 does not appear to support wifi 5g, but that has not been a problem since it is usually linked with the WX-020 in the bedroom. Audio sync from Roku has been no problem. The app is very easy for my family to use.

Great sound in a small package

I am very happy with these speakers. They sound very good for their size. The MusicCast app works well but I am looking forward to seeing more functionality and a more intuitive app experience. Hopefully that is something we will see soon.

These speakers sound so much better that the Gen 1 Sonos equipment I had. I'm glad that I've made the switch.

This is a perfect addition to my outdoor lanai. Music quality is full and similar to surround sound. Some songs on my iPhone playlist don't 'sync' and aren't playable, but overall I'm very pleased.

Great sound. Links with WXC-50.

The speaker sounds great, especially given its rather small size. I purchased two of these and linked them for stereo sound. I also purchased the Yamaha WXC-50 streaming preamp. My goals with this setup were twofold. One was to have streaming music in my great-room with a minimum of equipment (for appearances sake). Two was to be able to stream music (using the WXC-50) to the great-room from my legacy CD player which is located in my media room. Once I got everything set up, it is now working quite well. I have two minor complaints. One is that with the MusicCast app, I had some difficulty initially linking the speakers wirelessly to my WiFi. The other complaint is that the process to link the speakers to the WXC-50 is not well documented. It turns out there is an icon in the upper left corner of the MusicCast app that does this, but this is not well documented--I learned about this when it was briefly mentioned in a video describing the app. Overall, I'm happy with the result.

Great Sound Quality / Tricky Setup for Surround Sound

Great sound quality from the MusicCast 50. Depending what you use it for it may be easy to setup or a little more involved. I found that adding the device to the MusicCast app was easy. Just read and follow the instructions and prompts. I did not have issues with using multiroom music. *** Tricky Setup for Surround Sound *** My home consists of 20+ devices on a combined mesh network (1 SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz-1). I did have issues using the MusicCast 50 for surround sound with my MusicCast Bar 400. It had issues connecting to 5ghz-1 band; and when it did, the audio was spotty. DFS option wasn't helpful. There were lots of interferences. I did a wacky test of running a speed test on my smartphone leaving the smartphone on my speaker. You can hear audio breakage from the speaker. My mesh router has a 3rd band, 5ghz-2. I reconnected my Musiccast Bar 400 and MusicCast 50 to the 3rd band--limited devices on this band. I also set the Link Control to Speed Boost / Audio Delay to Balanced / DFS Option to Off. So far, it has been working well. I did the wacky speed test mentioned above and there were no audio breakage from the speaker. Let's hope it stays clear and connected. It seems like the MusicCast 50 is sensitive to wifi band and channel interferences... So you will have to figure that part out...

The only reason I bought the Yamaha 3080 was because of the wireless surround sound speakers. The sound from the speakers is great but the wireless technology is terrible. If you are lucky enough to get them to sync you will have to continually sync them. Do not think you will turn on the power and the sound will be like it was when you shut it off. You can call Yamaha and wait on hold for 45 minutes. I used a tablet for the controller, much better then a phone. When hooked up, sounds great. Still not sure how to get the sound correct with a blue ray movie (to sync the sound to the movie)

Works perfect in the Music Cast app. Have a whole home system but there were no hard wires out to the downstairs patio and cooking area. The speaker attaches wirelessly throw music cast and works perfect with the whole home system!

Big sound fills my kitchen. The MusicCast app that I use to link this speaker to my Living Room is a bit buggy and I often have to re-link it. The manual is very limited in explaining this gear. I am happy with the sound. I'll just have to wait for Yamaha to update the MusicCast app which is especially lame when I'm using Qobuz. Spotify is much better suited to MusicCast.

Hoping for better Sound quality at this price point.

I found this product too difficult to set up. Compared to a Sonos system this speaker doesn't even come close to the sound quality of Sonos or the ease of Setup. I bought it because it was bluetooth and had other connectivity options than wifi which was needed to set up on my boat. The bluetooth kept giving me problems. The app did not perform correctly. I was hoping for this price that the system would be easy to setup and have sound quality similar to SONOS but I was wrong. After playing with the system for 2 hours and consistently running into problems I decided to send it back. Crutchfield support was very good. No issue with them.

Multicast Speaker

Love the new speaker it sounds great. Set up was a little troublesome but nothing the Crutchfield tech guy could not walk me through. Wireless connections always seem to require a little patience to set up. I use the speaker for my kitchen and for sitting outside on my porch in the evening. Plan on getting the smaller version for my basement work shop.

Yamaha MusicCast 50 (WX-051)

I'm no stranger to MusicCast devices having a mix of 7 devices prior to purchasing a WX-051. The reason for purchasing WX-051 was so I could use as a dedicated wireless rear surround when connected to Yamaha AVR (TSR-7850). As I expected, the setup was straight forward...took a matter of minutes and I was engulfed in really nice (accurately decoded) surround sound. The way Yamaha has things setup you can 'release' the WX-051 to listen as a dedicated speaker. I did listen to the WX-051 as a stand alone speaker and it has that nice clean, punchy Yamaha sound. It's definitely a step up from previous generation WX-010 and WX-030. As usual, the Crutchfield buying experience was top notch from start to finish.

Secondary Speaker

This speaker can crank out some very good quality volume! The only reason not to give it 5 stars is that if you pair it with your wired speakers that are in the receiver, you will get a time lag if trying to listen to vinyl, or any other input sound. It works great for anything you are streaming.

Yamaha MusicCast 50 (WX-051)

I am using this in a small den (12'X12') and the sound quality is excellent. I was disappointed that even though it has two woofers and two tweeters in a side by side format they cannot be separated to serve as left and right channels. In this small room I guess I can live with it this way as the idea of placing two of these at a cost of nearly $1,000 in my room seems out of line. The biggest down side is the clumsy MusicCast app and lack of any meaningful tutorial from Yamaha.

Finally, a surround solution that works

I have tried EVERYTHING to get my soundbar to provide the same experience as when I had a true 5.1 wired system. I finally caved and bought this. This speaker provides enough rich rear surround sound that it's almost as good as when I had in-ceiling rear speakers. I'm very happy with with the combination of my Yamaha 400 soundbar with the subwoofer and this speaker. MusicCast is really great!

Yamaha MusicCast 50 (WX-051)

While I think the speakers sound terrific, the app to control them is very inconsistent. I put 2 in each room and it is nearly impossible to get them to work in sync as stereo without having to start from scratch and setting them up again. So every time I want to use 2 speakers in a room, I have to start over. Going to try support again to see if I can get help with the Yamaha app and speakers.

Amazing Speaker

A worthy tradition in the Yamaha line of only the best in sound. This is part of a Yamaha MusicCast system that includes the Soundbar BAR 400 (YAS-408) and a pair of MusicCast 20 speakers. After doing the initial setup using the MusicCast app on the BAR 400, it was a simple plug and play to seamlessly connect to the other components -- out of box to music was less than 5 minutes to get the MusicCast 50 speaker up and working. It is installed in our dining room and I am totally impressed and satisfied with the ability of this unit to produce true stereo quality sound. The Yamaha MusicCast system is a pleasure to work with and intuitively easy to use, whether linking and unlinking rooms, setting volumes individually or collectively, and/or individually connecting to a variety of inputs. We use Alexa, as well as the MusicCast app to control the entire system including the MusicCast 50 speaker. Only "downside" is I foresee ownership of more Yamaha MusicCast components in our near future...

So far I am really enjoying this speaker. I am using it as a wireless rear surround for my home theater set-up with a compatible Yamaha receiver. I can also disconnect from the home theater and use it as a stand-alone network or Bluetooth speaker with the MusicCast app. The sound is very good and the speaker appears to be very well built. It's also a very nice looking speaker so it's even wife approved!
