Denon Home Sound Bar 550 – Compact 3D Surround Sound, Dolby Atmos & DTS:X, Built-in HEOS, & Amazon Alexa Home Subwoofer with HEOS Built-in, Deep, Powerful Bass, & 8″ Bass-Reflex Woofer

We listen to a lot of music. The problem is our record player, TV, and the rest of our home theater was in the main living room but we spend a lot of time in the kitchen as well. Our Echo Dot was no longer cutting it, and you really couldn’t sync music between rooms. Denon boasted that their HEOS system would work flawlessly across devices so we decided to try out the Home 150.

I can honestly say, I’m blown away with the quality, sound, and ease of use. Since we already had our AVR setup on WiFi, and already had the HEOS app, all we had to do was have our phones locate the speaker and sync with the system. The main feature that I didn’t think would work well, was putting on a record in one room, and being able to listen to it in multiple rooms at the same time. This speaker does just that with barely any noticeable syncing issues or lag. The built in Alexa also made the update from the Echo seamless as we use Alexa’s features quite often.

Normally I’m someone too that has to sit and tinker with a speaker or setup to get it to sound right and honestly, no adjustments needed as long as you follow the instructions during first time use. I highly reccomend this to anyone that is already in the Denon ecosystem and doesn’t want to pay the inflated prices for Sonos.

I had been shopping for a permanent replacement to my aging Bose SoundDock speak systems (series I and II) which I kept going for years following some occasional repairs. After the last two started making weird static noises, I knew it was time to let them go.

My primary requirements:
* Clean deep sound with good bass for a variety of music
* Various inputs capable (USB, Aux, Bluetooth…)
* No lights displayed on device (for night use)

After spending months researching various options, I finally took the plunge with this Denon Home 350 Wireless Speaker. Although cost wasn’t really a factor, I wanted to keep it to under $500 since this speaker is meant to be used in my master bedroom to play calming music overnight with some occasional grooving during the day.

When I received the speaker, I was pleasantly surprised at its larger size and heavy weight. Although it’s a bit too large to sit on my night stand, I did find a suitable location next to a window. The speaker’s fit and finish represent a well-made quality product. The setup was relatively easy as compared to other users, although the first software update took some time.

Overall, I am very happy with this speaker. Having played everything from soothing meditating sounds to classical to EDM, the sound is consistent and excellent for a speaker in this category. And the best feature for me is no indicator lights on the device when in use. In a darken room trying to fall asleep, there is nothing worst than a tiny bright green power light to sour the relaxing mood. Thank you Denon!

I like them! I bought them because I bike a few times a week and I wanted a way to have my music follow me as I move from downstairs after riding to upstairs to get cleaned up. I have a Marantz receiver that has HEOS andI wanted to be able to connect the speakers and the receiver to stream everywhere in the house. It works flawlessly for this purpose. I simply use the HEOS app in my phone and I’m able to go from one streaming service to another, the music saved on my phone or a music server in the house.

I have purchased the 150, 250 and 350 and they all sound great. I wanted a speaker that could make my house sound like I was in a club and they do the job. What I was surprised by is that when I just want some nice background music (jazz or classical) they deliver excellent sound as well. They fill the area. They can be subtle and warm or loud and forceful without distortion.

Setup was straightforward and connection to my WiFi was pretty easy.

Sound quality is excellent in my opinion. I started with the 150s and wished for a bit more bass. The 250s IMHO are a really nice balance with plenty of bass. I do not find them muddy like some reviewers stated. Some reviews complained about them having too much bass and I agree that the 350s are bass heavy. This, however, can be adjusted in the EQ, and frankly, I appreciate the bass in so small a speaker. I hid a 350 in a corner and it completely fills the area with music and its placement is hard to detect.

The software has been solid in my experience. You can connect different speakers together and rearrange the combinations by dragging and dropping speakers together. It works. I’m still playing around with this aspect of the speaker/software functionality. I am hoping to find that I can setup different combinations (using the same speakers-reusing different speakers in different groupings), save them, and picking from a saved list which combination I want to use in that moment. However, I am not sure that this is possible.

Overall, I think they are great sounding, attractive, versatile speakers. They are expensive! But thus far, I’m really happy with them.

Overall I like these speakers. They are small and powerful and my music and TV sound great! Intrgration with the Helos app via wifi is also super easy just drag and drop the soundbar and stereo together. This being said you need a dennon 550 soundbar to get this to work. I only have two problems 1) it sometimes randomly drops the rears for no reason 2) sometimes if a lot of traffic is on the wifi the sound gets a lot of static.
