The Yamaha WS-X1A is a Bluetooth speaker and rear speaker for the True X Surround series soundbars. When used in Solo Mode, the Yamaha WS-X1A can be used as a standalone monaural Bluetooth speaker. The manufacturer emphasizes that the new version is “the first attempt to embody the signature True Sound philosophy in a very compact package.” The speaker weighs 490 g and has a height of only 10 cm, so it fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.

The WS-X1A wireless speaker, which inherits Yamaha soundbar technology, also features Clear Voice, a unique proprietary technology that brings narration and dialog to the forefront, allowing the WS-B1A to also serve as the perfect audio solution for listening to podcasts or audiobooks without headphones.
The Yamaha WS-X1A can run continuously on a single battery charge for up to 12 hours, allowing you to listen to music all day long. It takes 3 hours to fully charge the battery. You can charge it either with a USB-C cable connected to a port on the back of the device or with the CC-T1A charging cradle (sold separately). The CC-T1A is a convenient and discreet charging solution exclusive to WS-B1A that provides battery charging without having to plug and unplug the speaker from the cable.
The new product is IP67 waterproof, allowing you to play music wherever and whenever you want - even where it's wet. This certification allows the Yamaha WS-X1A to withstand short-term immersion to depths of 15 cm to 1 m and provides a high level of resistance to dust ingress.
The total system of True X bars and True X speakers, brought powerfully together as one, gives you amazingly real surround sound that transforms your listening space with a single button press. This is our own unique truly wireless surround system we call True X Surround.
