Dialogue is not improved by Clear Voice
I bought a sound bar not only to improve the quality of sound from my TV but also to be able to understand dialogue better. As it is, I relies on subtitles a lot, would prefer to watch the faces not read. I have some space limitations so needed a compact bar. The sound is great! In fact the main thing I like it for is streaming music from my phone. However, I chose this one because it has Clear Voice technology that supposedly makes it easier to understand the dialogue. It does not do that at all! The dialogue is just an unintelligible as with no sound bar. That is very disappointing. It also does not work well with my TV, just with my Roku. If not streaming, it makes a weird echo delay sound. So I have better sound if streaming but not if watching TV. I am going to keep it because there are very limited options for the size I need and the sound is great. Just don’t buy this if you want the Clear Voice. It doesn’t make any difference.

Great inexpensive sound bar
After my 9 year old sonysound bar died, I wanted quality sound, but budget was a concern. This Yamaha system cost half what my old Sony did, works better, has fewer quirks, is easier to use ,and sounds better. Itâs really compact too!

Impressive sound with good connectivity. The subwoofer is essential.
I needed a soundbar for my new home office, as my monitor does not have built in speakers. Standard speakers would not work for my situation, as desk space is already limited and I opted for a pretty large 32″ monitor, hence my exhaustive search for a suitable soundbar to fit in the space underneath the monitor.After much online research, reading reviews, visiting the local big box stores for in-store listening etc, I pulled the trigger on this soundbar/ subwoofer combo. I could not be happier that I did. Now, Yamaha does not need this review or my support- they are doing just fine without me. But I am so impressed by the sound at this price-point that I felt compelled to leave a few words. I am 100% happy I purchased this. I had listened to the similar, smaller SR-C20A (in a store) and was somewhat underwhelmed despite all the positive online reviews. However, I realized that many of the other YouTube and online reviews are comparing that soundbar against others which are similarly priced (and so they probably sound even worse). Therefore, I guessed that getting a similar speaker to the SR C-20A by the same manufacturer, but with a SUBWOOFER would make a huge difference, and I was right. The sound of the SR-C30A is full, balanced, and does not perceptively distort at louder levels (and the system does get loud). Music is detailed and rich with good depth, and the sub provides as much bass as you could need, and realistically ask from this type of system. The soundbar with the sub disconnected sounds thin and uninspired, but with the sub connected is amazing (and I only have it turned up to a very low level to add a bit of depth).The biggest downside is that (at least at the time of my purchase) there was quite a leap up in price from the SR-C20a to the SR-C30a with the subwoofer. However, I feel that having a good sub is essential for any quality music or movie listening, and I could not be happier that I shelled out the extra cash for the SR-C30A. The only other faults I can find are that the “remote control experience” feels very basic, and that there is no adjustable equalizer (both of which I expected and neither of which I can complain about for a system of this price). I would easily buy this soundbar system again if I needed to, and recommend it to others who are in the need for one. I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

Punches above its weight!… Update: …while it was working…
This review starts with my original impressions. Please scroll down to the bottom for my 1 yr update.This soundbar was recommended by “The Wirecutter” (which does exhaustive product testing) as their best “budget pick” soundbar.I’ll be honest; $199 did not seem like a “budget pick” price (not for my wallet, at least), but once I researched more and found that the really highly recommended soundbars often go for $400 or more, I figured I’d give this Yamaha a try.I’m glad I did. Volume-wise, this is enough to FILL our combined living room / dining room / kitchen space with blockbuster-movie-worthy sound (w/ the volume set to about 50%). At that level, you’re getting clear dialogue, but are still getting a noticeable helping of rumble from explosions, soundtracks, etc.Also worth noting is that this soundbar has a remarkably balanced sound profile; the highs, lows, and mids do NOT overpower one another. That’s good, because there’s not much adjustability… except for the separate control for subwoofer volume, which a couple members of the household do adjust, depending on the experience they’re looking for (casual background viewing, or “let’s all watch this new movie” viewing).Three other small features of note… 1) This soundbar’s volume – if connected via HDMI-ARC – CAN BE controlled by the TV remote (in our case, Hisense), and 2) This soundbar also turns on automatically when the TV is turned on, and 3) Unlike another soundbar I’ve had in the past, this soundbar does NOT turn off until the TV is turned off, even if left idle, with no sound for a while (e.g. when a movie is paused, or while a streaming service menu w/ no volume is displayed on the screen).I am 100% satisfied with my purchase, given the $199 price. If you can get this for that price or cheaper, AND you are not an audiophile, AND your room is not the size of a small gymnasium… I absolutely recommend this.————————1 Year Update!Unfortunately, I had to bump my score down from five stars to three. Reason: After about six months, the soundbar started cutting out, with the sound reverting back to the TV speakers. To start working again, it required a reset. Eventually, even that stopped having any positive effect. We were CONVINCED that the problem was the HDMI ARC port on our few-years-old Hisense TV, and we were due for a TV/upgrade/update anyway, so we snagged a Black Friday deal on Toshiba TV.I set the Toshiba TV up thinking that the Yamaha soundbar would now work perfectly with the new TV, but… NOTHING. Was the problem the soundbar the whole time? To test, I connected an ancient Panasonic soundbar to the new Toshiba TV, and the old soundbar worked perfectly. For good measure, I took the Yamaha sondbar and subwoofer downstairs and hooked it up to an old Visio TV, and… nothing.So, sadly, while it was great for a while, I can’t recommend this soundbar anymore, as I didn’t even get one year out of it. Wirecutter’s new budget pick is a less expensive TCL soundbar, which I’m about to set up to replace the Yamaha, which is now an expensive doorstop.

Excellent produit, compact, facile à utiliser et la qualité sonore est excellente pour son prix! J’adore aussi le sub sans-fil. Parfait pour diminuer le nombre de fil!

Los bajos son buenos, solo hay que equilibrar bien los bajos y los medios, para poder disfrutar!Lo que no me gustó es la conexión del subwoofer, ocasionalmente se desconecta del la barra!Esto puede ser por la ubicación!

The sound quality from the Yamaha SR-C30 is excellent and I really enjoy it… but the remote is the worst I have ever used. The buttons constantly get stuck pushed into the body of the remote and its very annoying. Sometimes when pressing and holding the volume down button it will get stuck and the volume will actually go up. Not good when I’m trying to lower the volume as the kids are sleeping. Once volume is set it appears to be very consistent and I like the subwoofer control.Its too bad Yamaha cheapened out on this remote to ruin what otherwise is an excellent product.

Needed to replace my 9-year-old speaker system for my computer and Iâm super happy with the quality of this set. It was easy to install and start up. I was blown away by the sound quality. The bass control is handy because I live in an apartment situation where the base goes through the walls and floors more than anything else, so this keeps the neighbours at bay :). Love the size of the bar which fits on my tiny desk, subwoofer sits on the base of the desk. Looking for Bluetooth treble tweeters for that true surround sound experience, so recommendations are welcome. I would highly recommend this product.
