Reviews around bass (5.00 of 5)

  • Software app is absolutely terrible and extremely restrictive, no Apple Music support as of Nov 2016
  • Honestly the app is a complete afterthought and nothing ever really works as you intended
  • As far as the HEOS1, well it sounds very tinny with pretty good bass

Reviews around use (5.00 of 5)

  • First, this is the perfect wireless speaker for pool/hot tub use.
  • The HEOS speakers sound excellent when used on a wifi network and the audible difference with this new feature is so minimal it’s not worth talking about, especially on the smaller speakers like the HEOS 1.
  • However, I've been using Bluetooth, which I really enjoy because I can play EVERYTHING on my phone through it versus what the app will allow me to play (i.e. Sonos)

Reviews around product (4.30 of 5)

  • I like the product, and it works well, but the one I received had obviously been returned by a previous customer
  • All in all, another highly recommended product from Denon.
  • After about three months a red light o death appeared and it completely stopped working
  • I would not purchase another Denon speaker nor can I recommend the product to a prospective buyer.

Reviews around system (4.10 of 5)

  • All of this said, when the system is working well (as in my father's experience), the speaker has good sound for its size and price point.
  • But this speaker is part of some incredibly complex nightmare system that requires serious IT skills
  • Add these to your home WiFi network and you have a smart sound system in every room
  • When the HEOS app is working well, the system is easy to use, and due to the streaming over wi-fi, rather than Bluetooth, sounds great.
  • To find one that is part of a highly capable wireless whole-house system makes it especially attractive

Reviews around bite (4.10 of 5)

  • It does work a bit better if at least one of them is hard wired.
  • Nice unit but a bit hard to set up and doesn't seem to be as user friendly as one would expect with a company like Denon
  • It does work a bit better if at least one of them is hard wired.
  • But Sonos sounds a bit cleaner and tighter due to the EQ tuning
  • Nice unit but a bit hard to set up and doesn't seem to be as user friendly as one would expect with a company like Denon

Reviews around connectivity (3.86 of 5)

  • Compact, not too heavy, good Bluetooth connectivity, great sound out of a small
  • Tried at least five different, highly recommended routers to no avail and concluded that HEOS must be the problem, but recently dumped the standard router for a high density web mesh system and the connectivity is now flawless
  • Purchased HEOS first version two years ago and had problems with consistent connectivity throughout my 3800, four story townhouse; very frustrating and embarrassing
  • After about three months a red light o death appeared and it completely stopped working
  • Well Made Wireless Speaker with Great Connectivity via WIFI and Bluetooth

Reviews around heos (3.54 of 5)

  • Although I read that the Sonos bass range is better, the Heos mid and high are very crisp and the bass is not forced.
  • If you are interested in superb surround HEOS is the way to go.
  • So I would highly recommend the HEOS 1 and was very pleased with accessories4less.
  • While it doesn't sound as good as the HEOS 1 (partially due to its smaller size
  • only did the Heos lose all recollection of having been connected to my network, so did my iPhone 6+, my 2015 MacBook, my 2011 17-inch MacBook Pro, my 2009 Mac Pro

Reviews around app (3.33 of 5)

  • The sound is nice, but the app is HORRIBLE and extremely buggy
  • Honestly the app is a complete afterthought and nothing ever really works as you intended
  • But the app, functionality, and customer service from Denon is atrocious.
  • Honestly the app is a complete afterthought and nothing ever really works as you intended
  • I would give 5+ stars for sound quality, but the speaker loses a star for forcing you to use the stupid app and not letting the connected aux cable simply be the default input.
