Sidecar Made From WWII German Fighter Plane and Yamaha Motorbike Is Crazy-Cool
Made from a WWII German fighter plane and Yamaha Wild Star motorbike, this sidecar bike looks like a less-colorful Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. [Henrik Toth via LikeCool]Yahama YHT-S400 Shoves a Subwoofer Into a Receiver
The Yamaha YHT-S400 features a sound bar that's 31" long by 2" high and—for the first time—a subwoofer that's actually integrated into the receiver. It sounds perfect if you live in, say, a cramped city apartment. Like me! More »Yamaha YSP-5100 Soundbar Is Like a Skinny Fat Guy
Yamaha's latest sound bar, the YSP-5100, may be apartment-friendly, but that doesn't mean it's small. More »Now Available
Today in Now Available: the Sonos ZonePlayer S5, a wireless speaker system controlled by the iPhone and iPod Touch; the Yamaha MCR-140 wireless iPod dock; the Lenovo U150 ultraportable laptop, and the game-changing FLO TV. More »Tenori-On Goes Orange
The Tenori-On remains one of the most eye-catching, hypnotizing ways to make music, and Yamaha has a cheaper model coming in January. Unlike the original, it can't use batteries, has plastic casing, and the LED-lights only show on one side. More »Yamaha Quietly Shows Off 1mm-Thick Cloth Speaker
Yamaha's booth at CEATEC featured a few cloth posters with mundane advertisements on them that seem to lack any attention-grabbing oomph—until you step directly in front of them and realize that they're incredibly thin directional speakers. Whoa! More »You Just Can't Stay Mad At The Yamaha TSX-W80 Wireless iPod Alarm Clock
Even though the Yamaha TSX-W80 wakes you up at all hours of the morning, you just can't stay mad at that pretty face. It even features a wireless iPod cradle that streams tunes using Yamaha's proprietary AirWired technology. More »Girlbot Sings, Looks Better than Britney Spears
Yes, that's right: The HRP-4C girlbot with Yamaha's Vocaloid voice synth software is way better than Britney Spears. But then again, that's not saying a lot, except that I will never do the Zoltan with Britney. [Network World]Yamaha neoHD Review: Receiver Redefined? Almost.
For decades, receiver innovation has been stuck in tar, an anonymous group of large black boxes with way too many buttons. Now, the neoHD hopes to re-imagine what the receiver can be. More »Yamaha's MCR-140 Wireless iPod Dock Sounds As Fantastic As It Looks
Yamaha's latest iPod docks look fantastic—it's made with metal, not plastic—and sounds damn near as good. Our quick impression is that the sound's rich—highs aren't tinny like most—and there's some nice bass response. More »Yamaha Rethinks the AV Receiver, Creates neoHD
Reading up on this totally fresh neoHD receiver tells me that Yamaha—unlike its competition—is trying hard to keep up with the rapidly changing home theater situation, particularly where HD video is concerned. More »Yamaha's MusicCAST2 Wireless Audio Streamer, For Those Who Missed MusicCAST1
Yamaha's MusicCAST2 Network Music System is a Wi-Fi-based tunes center that allows you to wirelessly transmit and listen to music in up to 32 rooms throughout your home. Do you even have 32 rooms in your home? More »Yamaha's Latest Home Theater in a Box(es)
Yamaha has refreshed their entire home theater in a box (HDIB) line with the YHT-791 ($850), YHT-591 ($650), YHT-491 ($550) and YHT-391 ($450). Here's a quick summary of the systems: More »KDDI au Casio Phone Makes Music With a Touchscreen
Surprisingly absent until now, touchability has finally made it into the KDDI au line-up. Casio's offering utilizes a 3.1-inch touchscreen for some funky music apps — making it a music studio in your pocket. More »Yamaha AvantGrand Digital Piano Vibrates in All the Right Places
High end digital pianos sound great, and have come a long way over the years, but ask any professional musician and they'll tell you they just don't feel the same as a traditional baby grand. More »Yamaha Trumpet...Cellphone?
Yamaha BD-S2900 Blu-ray Player Should Not Be Your First, Second or Third Choice Purchase
We were pretty easy on those early gen Blu-ray players, but now that the format has had some time to blossom, there's no excuse for a unit like the Yamaha BD-S2900 or its $1,200 asking price. Lacking BD-Live or an Ethernet port to upgrade the firmware should be enough to keep you away from this already outdated machine, but you may want to note that it's also lacking a way to decode TrueHD and Master Audio (you'll need a fancy Yamaha receiver for that, surely) along with standard luxuries like gold-plated connectors. If you go with this new, pricier Pioneer (or heck, even this older, cheaper Pioneer) you're getting more features, and the PS3 is still a pretty solid choice, too. Read on for the back shot and the full press release. More »Yamaha Branded Deus Ex Machina Motorcycle Exoskeleton On Video, Looks Tron-esque

Yamaha YSP-3050 Soundbar: Same as the YSP-3000 Plus HDMI Upscaling
The YSP line is my favorite soundbar because of the sonar-inspired tech it borrows from cold war subs. The YSP-3050 is a new 23-driver model, second best compared to the 42 driver YSP-4000. The upgrade from the 3000 now has a front mounted minijack in, and HDMI upscaling. Like the higher end models, these will provide glorious surround, but unless you wall mount, the speaker blocks a few inches of your TV. [Yamaha] More »
