Denon’s Home series of speakers is its answer to Sonos’ domination of the multi-room speaker market. Denon certainly has the pedigree, and both the Home 350 and Home 250 delivered. Can it make it a three-peat? Design Below these services you can select ‘This iPhone’ (or whatever your device is), Music Servers, Playlists (made within the HEOS app; you can also queue music from different sources), History (very useful), and then physical inputs. In the case of the Home units these are USB and the analogue input. By repeated attempts we got the Home 150s to update, and the subwoofer updated itself overnight when we left the ‘auto update’ option. So our advice if this happens to you is to give up, go to bed, and try again in the morning! Our advice to Denon’s HEOS crew (which coordinates the HEOS world from Sydney) would be to make their app a little smarter at resolving such problems. We confess we deliberately ran the rears a little hot, pushed up to accentuate the surround; it may not be entirely correct, but it can be more fun. Conversely we levelled the subwoofer where we could just hear it, which is less intrusive. It instantly impresses with scale and weight beyond the expectations of its size. It’s a mono speaker, boasting a single 25mm tweeter and an 89mm woofer, but it leverages these for a remarkably rich sound, even out in free space on a sturdy stand or table.
Like every Denon the Denon Home 150 is built to deliver best-in-class audio quality. With advanced acoustic hardware, expertly tuned digital signal processing and premium drivers, the Denon Home 150 delivers the clearest highs and deepest lows. Experience excellence in every beat. YOUR HOME SOUND AT YOUR COMMAND. The Home 150 is the smallest of the three wireless speakers in the Denon Home range. A solid and substantial object, with a 12cm-square footprint and 19cm height, it has the same sturdy fabric wrap as the soundbar, with a screw-threaded mounting hole at the rear should you wish to hang your Home 150s on a wall. Our Installation Service only includes connecting to existing points and fixings. This does not include installing or moving plumbing, connection points or electrics. Installing new points or moving existing points is the customer’s responsibility we can recommend local tradesmen however this will be at the customer’s expense and we not accept any liability for their work. Bass is powerful even at lower volumes during Foo Fighters' All My Life and Muse's Hysteria, which crashes through the room with aplomb. Pair two Denon Home 150 speakers using the HEOS app and enjoy true stereo. Denon Home 150 speakers work as left and right speakers to provide a Hi-Fi quality system, just without the system. Even listen to your Hi-Res collection with the accuracy and attention to detail your music deserves. GET THE AMAZING HEOS EXPERIENCE.

Some other multiroom systems offer useful battery operation for their smallest offering, making them a go-anywhere solution (though limited to Bluetooth or wired connections when away from the home network) — but that option is not available here. Thanks to their inclusion of the HEOS platform the Denon Home range can group and communicate natively with a long list of Denon and Marantz products which carry the platform.
With these three strong, musical and versatile smart speakers, together with a heap of existing HEOS family members, Denon’s Home series looks to be a true contender for your multiroom dollar if the cabinet design and pricing appeals. All three performed well, with the Home 250 proving a particular sonic sweetspot. What the 250 gets very right is the confident way it rides the line between keeping things engaging in the treble and pushing too far into overbrightness, something it never did, even when pressed to pumping levels, even with our Dion torture test, where the overbright recorded vocal was nicely tamed, and the band filled out by that 50Hz notch up, one of the best deliveries of this difficult mix we’ve heard from any system, in fact. Crank up the volume and you don't miss out on crispness either, with distortion simply not happening. While this isn't the loudest of speakers around, it beats much of the competition at this size. The downside? You may find the need to adjust the volume depending on what you're listening to. We were nearly similarly rude about the sound of the Home 250 as well, given it was serving up a rather brash version of our music compared with either the 150 or 250. But we found that the unit’s EQ had arrived set, either by default or by a previous user, to bump up the bass and heavily push up the treble.Ultimately its size and power have their limits at a point beyond which congestion and distortion become evident, but that point is impressively loud for a speaker so small. As for linearity, while its response to a sweep is less than smooth, with a notable push right down low then a dip from 60 to 100Hz, the balance is enjoyable in practice, spoken voices are tonally accurate, and there’s even a good sense of atmosphere around the different elements, an especially impressive achievement when working in mono. Positioning near a wall or a corner can enlarge the sound still more, at the cost of less predictable frequency response. The Denon Home 150 is a small speaker so in an ideal world, you'll need to pair it up with another or even a subwoofer and soundbar to get a truly room filling experience. Despite that, its small form works well in a living room, kitchen or even bathroom. Good solid sound, but HEOS and Alexa disappoints The sound from the 150 is of decent enough quality (as you would expect from Denon) but not mind blowing....still, its only a small unit so set expectations accordingly! it works great to listen to in the kitchen where we have it though
PH15, PH16, PH17, PH18, PH19, PH20, PH21, PH22, PH23, PH24, PH25, PH26, PH27, PH28, PH29, PH30, PH31, PH32, PH33, PH34, PH35, PH36, PH37, PH38, PH39, PH40, PH41, PH42, PH43, PH44, PH45, PH46, PH47, PH48, PH49, PH50 They are all HEOS-equipped, so that platform delivers full streaming access to online music services, network streaming from music shares up to high-res audio quality, and the ability to function in a multiroom system with other HEOS-equipped products. Please note: TV and larger floorstanding speaker deliveries are not available to Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Scottish Islands, and Channel Islands.With these inputs, the Denon Home range delivers an understated but potentially huge advantage over many competitors — they can broadcast these inputs to other Denon Home speakers. When using the Home 250, say, the HEOS app shows not only its own inputs but those of the Homes 150 and 350 on the same network. Any extended warranties offered by Peter Tyson are free. We do not include any form of insurance terms such as accidental damage or loan equipment cover. We’ve also seen (see Home 150 review) how Denon has rejigged two of its soundbars: the DHT-S716H (formerly the HEOS Bar) and the DHT-S516H (formerly the HEOS HS2, as well as the wireless active DSW-1H subwoofer, formerly the HEOS SUB. You can pair a couple of Home 150s to one of these soundbars (or a soundbar and subwoofer)
