This is a very nice soundbar. Our tv will not support wireless soundbars so this fit the bill. It also looks nice sitting in front of our tv.

Easy To Set Up; Good Remote; Interfaces Well With TV

Randomly Shuts Off

I bought this as i didn't want a separate subwoofer. If I'm honest i bought it without even hearing it in action. However i do have a bit of brand loyalty with Yamaha as they make top quality kit from piano, keyboards, motorcycles and Amps.

Dialogue enhancement; Can learn the TVs remote

Audio adjustments can vary widely depending on the room's configuration

Sound quality and ease of set-up is great, unfortunately the soundbar intermittently does not connect to the source. My friend has the same speaker and has no problems. I will likely need to send mine back for replacement or repair.
