Sonos Beam vs Yamaha YSP-2700

Sonos Beam review

I had a chance to make a closer look at the top surface. It shows that the soundbar has a slightly concave shape, with rounded outer edges. According to the Sonos designers, this form was created specifically to hide two LED indicators and controls. At the rear of the Sonos Beam is an HDMI port with ARC support, which had not previously been installed on other products of the company. Using this port, you can control some functions of the TV, including the volume using voice commands. There are 3.0 built-in channels.

Yamaha YSP-2700 review

The 7.1-channel unit delivers 107W of overall output power. The front of the YSP-2700 includes 16 high-quality 2.8-cm speakers that emit “beams of sound”. The layout of the array speakers is optimized in such a way that the reflective properties of the rays are enhanced to obtain the highest possible sound quality. The subwoofer does not require a cable connection, and this greatly simplifies its placement and preparation for work. This subwoofer, which is convenient in every way, gives out powerful bass of high quality. The IntelliBeam Sound Calibration System automatically generates the optimum sound field. The user only needs to press the buttons, following the prompts on the screen.
