Yamaha YAS-107 vs Yamaha YAS-207 – For Home Theaters and Stereos

Yamaha YAS-107 vs Yamaha YAS-207

Features

When comparing Yamaha YAS-107 vs Yamaha YAS-207, I see two soundbars with active amps that allowed direct connection with a TV, with the same number of buttons and placements. However, the Yamaha YAS-107 comes with a built-in sub (versus external wireless sub of the Yamaha YAS-207) that increases the YAS-107 weight but makes settings a bit easier.

When testing Yamaha YAS-107 vs YAS-207, no essential diversities in their sound quality were noticed.

The Yamaha YAS-107 has three speakers onboard to split highs, mids, and lows. Its metal dome tweeter is typical for other entry-level models, but its sub is not common because it’s a real stereo speaker. That’s why this product is designed for both a home theater and stereo systems. Besides, the model is powerful due to its built-in amps that work separately for the high-end and low-end frequencies. The YAS-207 produces good sounds another way. Its external sub provides enhanced bass and an expansive soundstage. Besides, one can control its volume independently.

To compare the soundbars, I’ve also tested their connectivity. Both units can be hooked up to a source via Bluetooth or through the optical connection. They also support HDMI audio. Note that both devices pass only HDR10 but not Dolby Atmos and other advanced formats.

Design

If comparing Yamaha YAS-207 vs Yamaha YAS-107 with regard to dimensions, the YAS-207 is more compact and lightweight. However, both models can be placed on a stand or mounted on the wall. They also have LED indicators on a strip to see what option is on right now.

The YAS-207 comes with rounded form factor covered with slick vinyl and wrapped in the smooth acoustic grille. The control buttons are located on its front panel.

The Yamaha YAS-107 is an all-in-one solution that is slim, given a built-in subwoofer. The unit comes in black and has a cloth covering over the surface. The buttons are on the top and the connections are hidden in the compartment in the underside of the unit.
