The editors didn't like

  • As sound bars go it's really tall and expensive
  • And you'll need to add a subwoofer. It needs to be wall-mounted as it can move around the tabletop when bumped. Some cheaper sound bars have better overall audio quality
  • Could have more insight and dynamic subtlety
  • The large design won't suit all spaces
  • Expensive
  • Too bulky for some setups
  • Tight sweet spot for surround sound

  • Abstract:  By providing Dolby Atmos support (and DTS:X via a future firmware update), 4K-capable HDMI connectivity and automated room EQ, the gorgeously styled YSP-5600 is a fully-featured soundbar. No fewer than 46 drivers behind its robust black metal mesh are use...

  • Powerful Dolby Atmos/DTS:X virtual surround sound, Feature-rich, Extremely detailed dialog and sound effects, Easy to use
  • Too bulky for some setups, Expensive, Tight sweet spot for surround sound
  • At a cost that's far more than most sound bar setups — without all their purpose-built convenience — the YSP-5600 sits in a somewhat awkward position on the sound bar scale. Still, with all its caveats, Yamaha has loaded some truly brilliant sound perfo...

  • Excellent surround sound, Good impression of height, Expansive, open soundfield, Easy to use and set up, Plenty of streaming features,
  • Could have more insight and dynamic subtlety, The large design won't suit all spaces, Expensive,
  • The YSP-5600 successfully does what it sets out to do: deliver overhead surround sound from a single soundbar. It's a hugely impressive technological feat, but here's the dilemma: is that Dolby Atmos support worth the premium price?There aren't many Atmos...

  • The Yamaha YSP-5600 is a stunning product within the world of soundbars. It successfully utilizes a very sophisticated approach to achieve both traditional surround sound and immersive 3D sound. Although it does not quite compete sonically with the indivi...

  • Dolby Atmos and (via future upgrade) DTS: X, MusicCast, AirPlay, Bluetooth (both in and out), and Wi-Fi for music streaming
  • Larger than most soundbars, Remote control isn't backlit
  • It's pricey, but outstanding sonic performance and an impressive list of useful features makes the Yamaha YSP-5600 one of the best overall soundbar values on the market...

  • Belle qualité de finition et conception robuste, Une puissance d'amplification solide et une sacrée tenue en puissance à fort volume, Une image sonore claire, précise et détaillée, Une belle reproduction des voix, Une amplitude très marquée sur l'axe hori
  • La musicalité correcte, mais sans plus, Le caisson de grave obligatoire, Configuration de la pièce importante, Télécommande un peu cheap vu le standing du produit
  • Pour cette nouvelle mouture du modèle phare de sa gamme de projecteurs sonores, Yamaha n'a pas fait les choses à moitié. Les ingénieurs de la marque japonaise n'ont pas simplement ajouté des canaux en hauteur, mais c'est la technologie de faisceaux dans s...
