 Hello everyone, this is Ahmed Don of AhmedDon.com. Today I'll have another episode of unboxing and review video and I'll be opening the Yamaha YS109 soundbar. So the soundbar has lots of features, so I'll open up the box and I'll show you what's inside and then I'll talk about some of the features and about the audio quality and how whether it is difficult or easy to go through the setup process. So let's take a look at the box first. So the box looks like very simple, there's no fancy packaging or fancy pictures and that's how Yamaha kept the cost very low of this product. So we'll open up the box and we'll take a look at what's inside and what comes with it. Once I open the box you can see that you know there's nothing much inside except the soundbar and some cables which is right here and then there's the remote which is right here and then looks like there's instruction manual which is right here and some other cables or attachments right here. So I'll take these out one by one and then we'll look at it you know what comes with the sound box. After opening the box this is all we got, a manual, remote control, optical audio cable and a power cable. They haven't provided any HDMI cable and this is the sound box and this is the sound box and you can see that this is a very slim profile and it looks very you know cute and slim. So there's not it's not heavy very light I can lift it even with one hand and then we'll take a look on the back of the soundbar. This is Ahmed Dan. I've had a few days to try and test the Yamaha Soundbar Yamaha YS109 and I'm going to give you some insights on the sound quality and the ease of you know the remote control and other aspects. So the remote control actually is very easy to use. You can see that you know the operation is fairly simple so it has HDMI, TV, Bluetooth and Net output and actually you can connect this device to Wi-Fi and there's an option which is the clear voice right here. So what it does that you know if you want to hear the voice distinctively than other elements of music for example like you know news or a concert someone is talking or anything then pressing this button makes the voice clearer clear so that's a very good feature and the remote control is very slim and small and easy to use so there's no complaint about that so I'm just leaving it here. In terms of the music quality the sound quality is really very good especially I like the surround sound so basically it has two different types of surround sound or 3D surround and regular surround sound. So what happens that when you play surround sound then you know the sound comes not only from horizontal directions but also from varying heights so there's like you know Twitter or something inside which projects the sound upward makes it possible to hear the sound from various angles and that makes you know sound more realistic and this feature is very helpful especially when you are watching a movie. I didn't get the subwoofer for this product because I didn't want to go through the hassle of setting up the subwoofer and like you know and another piece of equipment so I'm happy with the just this piece. The problem I have with this sound bar is that you know the menu system which is right here is really tiny and it's very hard to see so even if you're closed and at night you couldn't like you know tell what menu option or what it is playing so you have to just kind of guess and that's the thing I don't like. They should have put a display or LCD display you know with the bold letters or a display screen for menu system then it would have been a much easier and the other problem I have is that because these like you know these features or these options are written so tiny that even you cannot read if you're standing so you have to kind of like you know sit and come very close to you so if you look very carefully you will not be even able to see because it's like you know too small for the camera to catch it up and that's another you know problem so this section is where they should have you know improved it but the other section the other everything else except this part actually I have nothing to complain about the sound quality is really outstanding but you have to keep in mind you know the price because this is an entry-level product and what the price and the features you're getting especially the 3d surround and DTS virtual x and the stereo sound so everything and plus alexa is included here so you can have alexa here you know giving you all the information you need from alexa as well so let's try alexa here alexa what is the weather now in toronto it's two degrees celsius with cloudy skies today you can look for dreary weather with a high of three degrees and a low of minus nine degrees so you can see that you know i gave this alexa british accent or australian accent as to you know differentiated this than other alexa have so let's try a music probably the camera audio system is not going to be able to pick up you know the richness of the music but still you know it doesn't hard to try so here's something you know i want you to listen okay so to sum it up the the quality of the sound and the quality of the product itself everything is really good there's nothing to complain about and you know the price because this is an entry-level product you're what you're paying you're getting much more than that and yamaha always makes you know good sound products and this review is not an affiliated or paid review all my reviews are non-affiliated unbiased and honest and the only complaint i have about this product is the display option which i showed you is really tiny and you know difficult to see so you're gonna kind of have to guess when you press it on the remote so that's basically it thank you for watching forget about subscribing this channel forget about liking this video there will be more videos coming up so i'll see you shortly
