If you are looking for a spare-no-expense audio setup for your home entertainment system, clearly the onboard TV or projector speakers aren’t going to cut it—especially if you care about immersive audio realism. You’ll need something like the new Yamaha True X Surround 90A Soundbar.
This isn’t just another soundbar that claims “cinematic sound” but delivers more like “airplane cabin vibes.” The 90A is Yamaha’s new flagship, packing Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and—wait for it—the world’s first soundbar to support AURO-3D. Yes, it can even turn your old stereo tracks into 3D soundscapes, because flat audio is now a crime when you’d spent this much. But more on that in a sec.
It’s slim enough not to block your TV, but inside that low-profile bar is some serious wizardry: new eye-shaped drivers, twelve beam speakers for height effects (twelve! 😱), and Surround:AI that analyzes audio five times a second to keep dialogue crisp and explosions gloriously over the top. The package also throws in a wireless subwoofer for floor-rattling lows and two portable surround speakers that moonlight as standalone Bluetooth speakers, so yes, you can literally take your surround sound to the park.
The Yamaha True X Surround 90A lands in September 2025 with a price tag of US$3,499.95. Immersive audio realism doesn’t come cheap. Then again, you are scoring the next level of immersion, plus you get not one but two Bluetooth speakers. If the price is too much, you can go for the True X Bar 90A that foregoes the Bluetooth surround speakers, which goes for US$2,799.95.
