The first thing that should be noted comparing Yamaha YAS-108 vs YAS-207 is that they both go without a built-in subwoofer (however, the YAS-207 model has an external one in the package). They also can’t offer such cinematic features like Dolby Atmos or DTS:X (which is not surprising, taking into account their budget price).
Checking out the built-in channels, these Yamaha models aren’t all that different: 2.0 for YAS-108 and 2.1 for YAS-207. The supported channel number is what distinguishes them more, as the YAS-108 has the indicator of 5.1, while the second compared model has 2.1.
Reviewing Yamaha YAS-207 vs Yamaha YAS-108 models, they both won’t give you a large variety of supported streaming services. The YAS-108 supports only Apple Music, while the second compared model isn’t supplied with such feature like reproducing music from any of the streaming services at all.
If you compare the connectivity possibilities of these two models, then you will notice that they won’t offer an impressive choice in this regard. However, this fact doesn’t mean that the bars don’t have both wireless and wired types of connection. Each of the compared sound panels has Bluetooth, HDMI/HDMI ARC output, and optical digital and analog outputs. Comparing their connectivity, the main difference is in the fact that the YAS-108 has USB versus the YAS-207 that doesn’t have any.
The models are similar in terms of their dimensions. The only catchy difference is in the width of the bars (2.1 x 35 x 5.1 inches for the YAS-108 and 2.4 x 7.1 x 4.3 inches for the YAS-207). The difference in their weight is barely noticeable, as the YAS-207 weights 6.1 lbs, while the YAS-108 is just one pound heavier than its competitor.
By opposing Yamaha YAS-108 vs Yamaha YAS-207, I can declare that they have minimalist and sleek panels. The most necessary buttons for soundbar control are situated on both of the compared sound systems (input, mute, volume up/down, power).
