I had a chance to test and compare two models: TaoTronics TT-SK15 vs Yamaha YAS-107 and this review should help people who are looking for a good soundbar. The TaoTronics TT-SK15 was rated 4, while the Yamaha YAS-107 has a rating 6.8. The soundbars are equipped with a different number of buttons, power, volume down, volume up, input for the TT-SK15 and input, mute, volume down, volume up, power for the YAS-107.
Each of the models under consideration has active amplification type. By the number of channels, the devices do not differ. A built-in subwoofer is available only in the Yamaha YAS-107. Rate 5 out of 10 received the TaoTronics TT-SK15 for audio features and specs, but the Yamaha YAS-107 received 7 out of 10. The YAS-107 can play audio from Spotify.
Both models do not have a wireless Wi-Fi interface. Soundbars from this comparison have Bluetooth support. The HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) is implemented only in the YAS-107. Connecting devices via USB is not possible in both models. We rated the connectivity of the TT-SK15 at 4 out of 10, while the YAS-107 was rated 6/10.

Dolby Atmos audio decoder support is not implemented in either the TT-SK15 or YAS-107. Devices from this comparison cannot process surround sound due to lack of DTS:X.
