Samsung HW-Q60R vs Yamaha YAS-209 review

Samsung HW-Q60R review

Comparing these two sides in terms of audio features we have an obvious leader. Samsung has 5.1 channels and 360W of power vs 2.0 channels and 100W from Yamaha. Samsung HW-Q60R can transmit the highest quality signal through its HDMI input. It is a pity that he has only one such port. Alternatively, you can use the analog input to connect older devices. You can play music stored on USB media through the Micro USB port. Via the HDMI ARC port, this soundbar supports the most common Dolby Digital and DTS soundbar formats. Enjoy 5.1 surround sound from any content encoded in these formats, such as Blu-ray discs or streaming media. Samsung HW-Q60R

Yamaha YAS-209 review

The Yamaha YAS-209 supports PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS audio tracks up to 5.1 channels. Dolby Atmos or DTS:X object sound audio formats are not supported. Instead, the panel uses DTS Virtual:X processing to add pitch to the input signal. This function is activated using the “3D Surround” button on the remote control. The dimensions of the Yamaha 209 soundbar allow you to neatly place it in front of most TVs without blocking the signals from the remote control. Yamaha YAS-209

Samsung HW-Q60R pros & cons

Pros

  • Setup is very simple. If you know where you’re going to put these speakers, it’ll take you less than 10 minutes
  • The overall built quality is all premium. A metal finish to the edges and rear while still keeping it simple (not flashy), makes this a valuable accessory for your television

Cons

  • The sound bar is very heavy. You’ll need some support if you want to wall mount it
  • Only two HDMI inputs. Basically your TV and a gaming console

Yamaha YAS-209 pros & cons

Pros

  • Including downloading the related app and making an account, total set up was maybe 5 minutes max
  • This sound bar is made to disappear into your home

Cons

  • It can’t pull off multiroom audio through Alexa
