Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Yamaha Nx P100

  • Sturdy metal body with protective silicone edges
  • IPX4 splashproof rating for outdoor peace of mind
  • Serves as a portable power bank to charge smartphones via USB
  • Fast and easy Bluetooth pairing using built-in NFC
  • Strong, rich midrange frequencies and crisp highs
  • Built-in speakerphone functionality with HD voice compatibility

What customers don't like about Yamaha Nx P100

  • Bass lacks punch, definition, and solidity on multi-track songs
  • Narrow and somewhat constricted soundstage at close range
  • Maximum volume may not be loud enough for noisy environments
  • Noticeable audio distortion or volume drop when moving your head close to the device
  • Sound can struggle with rhythm and excitement compared to class-leading competitors

Verdict

The Yamaha NX-P100 is a compact, 1.1-pound portable speaker measuring 6-3/4” x 2-3/8” x 2-1/8” and featuring an IPX4 splashproof design reinforced with a sturdy metal frame and protective silicone accents. It is equipped with two 1-5/8" full-range drivers and twin SR-Bass radiators, utilizing high-precision signal processing alongside Bluetooth 2.1 (supporting aptX and AAC codecs) and NFC tap-to-pair technology. Key advantages include a built-in HD Voice speakerphone with Siri integration, a built-in rechargeable battery providing up to 8 hours of playback, a 3.5mm auxiliary input, a micro-USB input allowing it to act as a PC USB DAC, and a USB-A output port that functions as a 5V/1A power bank to charge mobile devices. However, its primary drawbacks are its outdated Bluetooth version, a maximum output that can feel slightly quiet, and a lack of deep low-end bass compared to larger competitors.
