Denon Home 150 Wireless Smart Speaker – Compact Design, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, HEOS Built-in, Alexa Built-in, Siri & AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Multi-Room Support, Black

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.

I bought three of these speakers and installed them in different rooms because they can connect to Ethernet cables. I have an Imac and can play each of my Itune playlists via the Ethernet cables. The speakers were easy to install for someone, like myself, who is not very up to date with the latest technical innovations. The sound coming from these small speakers is excellent. However, music afictionados cannot expect the sound of a $200 speaker to match that of one costing $500 or more. The bass was too prevalent for my taste. However, i was able to adjust the sound a little by tweaking the treble and the bass via the equalizer (EQ) function on my Iphone Denon app. Another plus is that the sound level of each speaker can be set up at a different level for each room.

These sound great. My only complaint is I have two and they are set up to pair as stereo L + R but many times when I connect to them, only one plays. I have to reconnect and sometimes that will resolve it but other time I have to use the app to pair them up to work together again.

I’ve recently become a huge fan of Denon speakers. I have a wall mounted echo show 15 (speaker quality is nails on a chalkboard) I paired the Denon smart speaker (not this one) and as it sounded really good, the Echo and the smart speaker would constantly conflict. This speaker requires a “player” (smartphone, tablet, tv, echo show) which makes conflicting smart issues, not an issue. We have this blue tooth to our audiotechnica vinyl player and the echo show. Only issue is every now and then there seems to be a timeout on music (it’s random) seeing that we play the vinyl for hours and when we use our phones it’s not an issue, it’s probably the echo show.

This is a piece of crap and I spent $750 3 years ago for it. I just got it out and tried everything again and it still doesn't work. It doesn't even have a blue light that comes on, or amber or anything. It's got power because the lights on top are on when you touch the top. I'm in a different wifi situation and I've tried HEOS and just using Amazon Prime music directly. So, today I decided to try and use Spotify to see if that made any difference (with my iphone). Nope, nothing happening. What a huge waste of money.

It’s early days as I have just set it up up but I feel fairly qualified to judge given that I have a very good Marantz / Polk set up in the main room and this is an accessory sound system elsewhere. So far, very easy to add to my HEOS system, and it’s got a wonderful crisp sound with good heavy bass all of which of course is customizable in the HEOS app. So delighted so far. Looks very neat on a shelf.

I bought this to add to my denon audio infrastructure. I have two Home 150s and now this Home 250. They synch wirelessly to each other as well as my Denon home theater in the living room to provide whole-house audio. I love walking around the house and having my music or podcast in every room without a hitch. The HEOS app is a little clunky but it works fine to make speaker groups. Then I can use airplay to stream to my speaker groups right from Spotify, TuneIn Radio or whatever other app I'm using to stream my music. For a stand alone speaker it has excellent audio quality.
