Control your MusicCast 20 with the free MusicCast app for your smartphone.
Looking for a great-sounding speaker for your nightstand or bookshelf? The compact Yamaha MusicCast 20 gives you lots of ways to listen. You can stream from your smartphone via Bluetooth — or Apple AirPlay if you have an iPhone® or iPad®. And the MusicCast 20 can connect to your home Wi-Fi network to give you access to internet radio, podcasts, and more.
The MusicCast 20 features a 1-1/8" soft dome tweeter for clear highs and a 3-1/2" woofer to fill out the midrange and lower frequencies. Two side-firing passive radiators reinforce the bass. Top-panel buttons include three one-touch presets and an alarm control.
You can combine up to 10 MusicCast speakers and components in a whole-house system, and control them all with Yamaha's excellent MusicCast mobile app. Play your digital music library, internet radio stations, and popular streaming services. There's support for Pandora® and SiriusXM. If you're a Spotify® Premium subscriber, Spotify Connect lets you access all your favorite albums and playlists. You can even stream high-resolution audio files.
Here's a cool feature for folks who like to declutter. You can use two of these speakers as wireless rear surrounds with any newer MusicCast-capable Yamaha home theater receivers, such as the RX-V485 and AVENTAGE RX-A780.
Bluetooth streaming from your phone is handy. But with MusicCast, Bluetooth becomes even more convenient. Stream from your smartphone to the MusicCast 20. Then you can use the MusicCast app to send that audio content to any and all other MusicCast speakers and components throughout your home. It's an easy way to share the audio from any app on your phone or tablet, including podcasts and YouTube™ clips.
Yamaha MusicCast 20 (WX-021) Owner's manual
Yamaha did a great job on this one. Easy to set up and the sound is great for a small speaker. Can not wait to add more to my system. As always Crutchfield is the best.
Floyd, Chester, PA
Average Customer Review(s):
Not Bad! Sound Quality could be a bit better for a expensive speaker. I use them as surround they sound good linked to Yamaha receiver.
Pros: Sound is decent! Works as Wireless surround!
Cons: Not all that easy to setup took multiple times to connect with app.
A good speaker with decent sound that doesn't take up a lot of space. This is my first wireless speaker and it works well with my wired speakers. No delay either.

Pros:
Cons:
Good,but not great sound for the price. Wireless feature is terrific, as the speaker can be picked up and moved to wherever there is a power outlet in the home. Paired with the Yamaha N-303 wireless receiver I purchased, and the mobile software app MusicCast on my smart phone, I have convenient music or other audio literally at my fingertips wherever I am in my home.
Pros:
Cons:
Outstanding value/sound. I have 3 in different rooms and appreciate the quality of sound generated. I am now replacing a number of towers and smaller monitors with these!
Pros: Ease of installation, quality of sound.
Cons: Would prefer more bass options.
Sounds great. Super loud at a low volume
Pros:
Cons:
Good sound for wireless speaker of it's size. But no replacement for a quality wired speaker. MusicCast when it works is great. But connection issues are a pain at times. Maybe a range issue sometimes. But problems persist at close range. Hopefully software updates improve situation.
Pros: Sound quality, simple setup, clean ascetic design.
Cons: Music Cast software glitches and reception range.
Great sound. easy set up with a phone.
Pros: Super sound

Pros: small, good looking, wall-mountable
Cons:
SMALL,BUT HIGH QUALITY SOUND
Pros:
Cons:
Deep bass and has a great sound. It can really crank the tunes. It is easy to set up downloading the music cast app. I set my up with SirusXM radio and can't be happier. You can control everything from your phone or you can get an Alexa device to control it.
Pros:
Cons:
Clean sound and nice rich bass for the size.
Pros:
Cons:
Works as described, clear wireless sounds on the patio.
Pros: Works
Cons: Not weatherproof
These small speakers have very good sound quality. I am using them in an outside room (covered deck) approx. 20' x 20' Plenty of sound with the two I purchased. I use them with a Yamaha sound bar and the music cast app., not crazy about the app as it is not really intuitive and takes time to figure it out!!! The other components from Yamaha are awesome however and Crutchfield has provided Sterling service and along the way!
Pros:
Cons: Music Cast
Great sound quality and a great compliment to my surround sound system.
Pros:
Cons:
Love new tech. These things also allow a nice look.
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: None
