   Super easy to setup and use. Works great with HEOS or just with iOS over Airplay. Easy to group or ungroup. Never had a single dropped connection or problem with playback. Sound quality is great for my taste but I did not test out a bunch of products to compare side by side. Looks attractive. 9/10 product.I am now buying more Denon Home speakers after this good experience with the Home 350.The only downside is the preset buttons are a bit tricky to use, and they only work with music accessible from the HEOS app. I subscribe to a music steaming service called DI.FM and this does not play directly on the speaker, and cannot be setup as a preset. I can play it using Airplay though.

   I am very impressed with the overall versatility. From the kitchen counter to the patio the Denon 150 adapts to the different environments like a champ. Construction and overall looks are very impressive. Setup does take a minute or two but worth it. Love the presets and the ability to connect via network cable. From soft chill music while cooking to a 20 person party on the patio this speaker truly lives up to the hype. Denon has a real winner here. Sorry Sonos you have some real compation with this one. I’m trying to find a way to (not) give the Denon 150 a 5 star rating, but after 2 hours at 90 percent volume and guests not believing the clarity it gets a 5 star rating from me. With that said, it is also important to have a good router and mesh WiFi system to insure good connections around the house. I prefer the upper end ASUS routers and their Zen access points. Now how do I convince my wife that I need a second one, so I can pair them together. PS using Radio Paradise for HIFI listening is just stellar.

   I wanted a portable wifi+bluetooth speaker with good sound quality and dependable performance. This one delivers.The sound quality is better than I expected for the money; quite satisfying to me. Yes, I think the bass is a little strong, as others have noted, but I think that is adjustable. Actually, I have not tried adjusting it because it does not bother me much.I wanted the unit in one package, like this one, so it would be easy to move from room to room. The downside of a single small unit might be stereo separation, but the technology in this unit delivers a good result in that sense also.The install was easy following the directions on the app. It connected with my wifi with no problems. It works with iTunes.I would buy this again. In fact I might do that at some point depending on my use pattern.

   Just purchased my 2nd 350 to go with my Denon receiver (powere klipsch speakers) and I’ll be getting a 3rd. Yeah for those who say it doesn’t work with apple airplay are just wrong. It could not be more easy…just click on the airplay symbol in app while the song is playing, choose the devises you want to stream to and you are done. I have music playing from 3 different speakers…no lag, dream come true for those who like to groove as you move through the house. Sound is exceptional. I have not yet figured out how to play my records from my Denon receiver throughout this system but I have not tried too hard. I do find the Denon app to be useless so I’ll take one star off for that under tech support.

   Great speaker! It blows away any of the other smart speakers for quality. The Heos app is very good, but not as good as what I have seen of the Sonos app. The sound is better than the comparable Sonos. We are hooked and plan on buying at least one more of these and eventually upgrading our soundbar with a Denon soundbar. I only wish it would come on sale once in a while. The price is up there.

   I purchased this to work with a new Marantz receiver I bought for my home PC theater setup. I have an older Marantz av8002a in my home theater (Atmos 7.2, 133″ projector screen). We bought a new house and I bought one of these to test heos for whole home sound use. I tested the first unit for several months. This speaker is amazing, it really is. The sound that comes out of it is amazing with full bass you can feel (I have 2 Outlaw 12″ woofers in my home theater). after testing it, I liked it so much I bought a second one to extend sound in the house and I’ll probably pick up 2 more. I mainly use it for home wifi use specifically in Spotify where you can directly connect to the speakers without any middle man as well. My wife and daughter will use bluetooth to them at times. Amazing sound, well worth the price.

   I debated months before purchasing. There are a few I considered but I’m pleased with my decision. I’m starting with the 150 and the 350. Sound is very good especially with HD music. I have no connectivity issue whatsoever with WiFi and Airplay and has been reliable. Setup was simple.

   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.

   Just got it.I’m integrating it into an AVR-X4300H which uses an SVS speaker setup, which sounds awesome, especially in the low range. I use a Logitech programmable remote to control this mess.Being the geek I am, I got all the user guides and studied how to integrate the 350 into all of this well before it arrived. (I know, call my therapist with suggestions.)Maybe because of my prep work, getting it up and running was a snap. I suspect that isn’t the case.Given all the gee wizz tech stuff going on, my hat is off the Denon making it so simple.The purpose of getting the 350 was to bring music into the master bedroom. (Maybe when music is a great idea? I mean what doesn’t scream romance like the Go Go’s?)I teamed the 350 into the AVR’s main zone and played music from my iPod which is feeding via Bluetooth.It played right out of the box after a SW update. No lag, right with the speakers from the receiver.Using the Logitech, I switched input to the AVR to my satellite input. The AVR threw that on to the screen and into the hardwired speakers but the 350 kept playing from the iPod! (Damn Go Go’s!)I could start / stop the 350 from the HEOS app or start / stop both the AVR and 350 from the Logitech.So, the take away is just because the 350 is assigned to the AVR main zone, it doesn’t mean whatever is playing on the AVR will play on the 350. More on that later after I grouse around with this system.I mentioned the speaker setup in my intro not to brag but to set what I experience as a friggin high performance bar.The 350, given what it is, is no slouch. Shockingly good sound, especially the low end.Get it.

    Easy to setup wirelessly, easy to tune base and treble settings via app, hacker friendly network commands, easy to use and reuse bluetooth. Ignore the astroturfers and folks who didn’t read the manual.
