Yaber has the home cinema hardware to kit out your 2025 setup

Since 2018, Yaber has been one of the pioneers of the portable, affordable home cinema projector revolution. This continues again in 2025 with yet more excited entertainment options to suit your setup, surroundings, and most importantly your budget.

You’re probably well aware that there are a few companies out there making entertainment projectors, but Yaber has been pulling a lot of weight in terms of pushing the device category forward. As briefly noted, Yaber was founded in 2018 and now has products in over 2.7 million homes worldwide, with hardware available in more than 120 countries across the globe. The company has even received a CES Innovation Reward back in 2024 and the Red Dot Award, cementing itself in the market as one of the trusted home entertainment innovators.

CES is rife with new products and pitches, but not all are created equally. Although there is a rush to get products to market first, Yaber has been quietly crafting Android TV-powered home streaming systems that not only offer great value for money but actually don’t require workarounds to seamlessly integrate your favorite streaming services right there into a core part of your home.

Tiny size, premium picture quality

Yaber’s first new product to kick off 2025 is the K300s short-throw laser projector. This is an updated version of the firm’s first product in this growing category and could be the perfect way to add an unassuming product to your home while simultaneously giving you an incredible movie theater experience in a compact package.

You might be scratching your head, wondering why you should care about a laser projector. Well, unlike traditional projectors that require significant distance to project a large image, the K300s boasts an incredibly short throw ratio of 0.18:1. This means it can cast a massive 100-inch display from a mere 9.76 inches (24.8 cm) away from the wall.

This space-saving design makes it ideal for smaller rooms, or those where mounting a projector on the ceiling isn’t feasible. Imagine enjoying a cinematic experience with a huge screen without the hassle of complex installations or needing a large room – the K300s helps to make this a reality.

It’s not just about the space-saving design either, as the Yaber K300s delivers superb picture and sound quality. Its triple RGB laser light source produces vibrant, lifelike images with over 150% NTSC wide color gamut, exceeding the capabilities of traditional LED projectors and offering over 60% energy savings at the same brightness. The high 1500:1 contrast ratio ensures deep blacks and bright whites, creating a truly immersive viewing experience.

Brightness isn’t an issue either as it is capable of producing 1000 ANSI lumens of brightness at native 1080p resolution and 4K decoding support; the K300s delivers sharp, detailed images even in moderately lit environments.

To complement the stunning image, sound is provided by dual 15W JBL speakers, which are professionally tuned and housed in a 624.7cc sound chamber. The simple explanation for this is that you get rich, room-filling audio with deep bass, clear sound, and enhanced immersion. That’s not all as Dolby Audio is supported so you know you’re getting a great listening experience to go with the visuals. The forward-facing speaker design and 16-degree tilt further optimize sound projection for a balanced audio experience.  

Getting set up and ready to stream is a piece of cake because the Yaber 300s has 3-second autofocus and automatic keystone correction; setting up the projector right out of the box is quick and, well, effortless. It ships with Google TV pre-installed, which is the perfect platform to build out a home entertainment system.

Chromecast built-in means easy from-phone streaming, while you have access to the Play Store and the wealth of streaming services that can be downloaded from Google’s online storefront. There is no need to plug in extra hardware; it’s all integrated and ready to go.

We’ve barely scratched the surface here but one thing to note is how the Yaber K300s prioritizes both safety as well as in-home aesthetics.

It has an integrated infrared sensor that automatically dims the brightness and pauses playback when people or pets are detected nearby, providing a crucial safety feature, especially for households with children and pesky pets.

The triple RGB laser technology also avoids the potentially harmful 415-455nm blue light range, reducing eye strain and long-term health risks.

It does all this in a sleek, minimalist package with smooth curves and a blend of plastic and metal mesh. We’ve noted it, but this ensures that the K300s complements any home decor. Becuase it only requires a single power cable to get going the K300s is a perfect fit for a TV cabinet or small surfaces. The result is a home theater without any drawbacks.

New projectors ready for prime time

Announced early in the year, the Yaber L2 Plus is one of the firm’s best affordably focused 1080p projectors. Unlike the innovative laser projector, it has a more “traditional” design, look, and feel.

The L2 Plus series combines 1080p video with the aforementioned familiar design, quiet operation, exceptional sound, and easy-to-use interface, plus an integrated kickstand. No matter which model you opt for, it’ll be a great buy for any room in your home adding high-quality entertainment and audio in one convenient package.

As for the Yaber L2 Plus, this newly released model offers all the bells and whistles you expect including fast autofocus to help streamline the setup process, a bright 700 Lumen LED bulb for crisp, clear images, and the 8W JBL tuned speaker system gives you booming audio. It’s a versatile option that won’t break the bank.

This particular model comes with Yaber’s own operating system pre-installed, but it’s designed to be super easy to use and includes Netflix and Prime Video licenses so you can enjoy content from two of the biggest third-party streaming platforms. Add a Chromecast with a Google TV or Fire TV dongle, and you have the perfect platform for Android TV.

Home theater in a (portable) box

It would be remiss of us not to mention the best-selling Yaber T2 and T2 Plus projectors, too. Sold as the “Anywhere cinema,” the portable design makes it an ideal at-home or travel companion. The top handle is a great dual-purpose design choice. Not only does it make carrying the T2 projector around easy, but it also doubles as a kickstand so you can prop it up for the perfect positioning and image quality.

The port selection at the back includes a USB-A, 3.5mm input, 1GB Ethernet port, plus HDMI input so that you can hook up practically anything via wire. Bluetooth 5.0 enables pairing with all of your wire-free systems, but it has all the onboard hardware required to turn anywhere into an entertainment hotspot. Wi-Fi 6 connectivity is the backbone of strong and stable streaming no matter the app or service.

If you pick up the Yaber T2 Plus, it ships with a dedicated Google TV Dongle that gives you access to over 7,000 streaming apps and Android applications, including YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO, and many more, alongside the suite of Google Assistant functions that you’ve come to know and love. The default experience is clean and simple without the dongle, and plugging in extra hardware is seamless.

Dual JBL speakers provide some serious audio oomph and support Dolby Audio for better listening and viewing experiences.

The LED projection is designed to be super efficient, but doesn’t do so at the cost of image quality. Expect a crisp, clean 1080p image from 40-120 inches at 450 ANSI Lumens of brightness. All the big features are included to make setup and configuration a breeze such as auto-focus, auto-keystone, auto screen alignment, and even auto obstacle avoidance – something that means placement isn’t limited to one or two areas in a space or in your home.

It does all this in a discreet little package. At just 11.5 inches tall, with a footprint of 6.5 inches by 5.5 inches and weighing just 5.3 pounds the T2 isn’t a bulky behemoth. It’s barely bigger than a Bluetooth speaker and even offers a 2.5 hour battery life when playing movies or TV shows. For audio enthusiasts, you can get up to 18 hours of playback when using the Yaber T2 or T2 Plus as a dedicated speaker.

What’s more, it does this all for under $400. There aren’t many similar products that can offer as much for such a small price tag. Things are getting even better with limited-time discounts on the Yaber T2 to celebrate CES, dropping them from $359.99 to $225 with code CEST220OFF from Jan 6 to Jan 12 only on Amazon.com.
