Reviews around music (5.00 of 5)

  • If your preferred music provider is not available, you can also use Bluetooth to stream anything you want from your phone
  • I also checked Spotify and it was indicated that the free music would not work with the HEOS5, but the premium membership would
  • I had no trouble setting up and was listening to great sounding music right away
  • What’s the best way to make great music sound truly great
  • It’s also nice to have Amazon music available on the app, but the accessibility is sort of limited for now
  • Read remaining 9 reviews for music

Reviews around size (5.00 of 5)

  • This is a size suitable to a medium-sized room such as your dining room or a medium sized living room or a master bedroom
  • The size is still portable, and I could easily move around room to room, if I want, but the sound quality coming out of such a small form factor is quite amazing
  • As far as size, it’s very portable and easy to find a place without going to a lot of extra trouble.
  • We were able to get it hardwired to the network and the sound quality is fine (though not as good as I

Reviews around build (5.00 of 5)

  • This is a well built speaker that easily fills a medium-sized room even at half-volume
  • We were able to get it hardwired to the network and the sound quality is fine (though not as good as I
  • For the price you should expect great build and excellent sound and that is exactly what you get here
  • While the HEOS 5 has a nice build quality, and sounds better than the SONOS, the app is awful!

Reviews around work (5.00 of 5)

  • Even though Denon has promised Google Cast support and then back away from it, plugging in a Google Cast Audio delivers a decent work around
  • Also, playing from my remote music server on a NAS works very well

Reviews around sonos (5.00 of 5)

  • Neither SONOS or Bluesound was capable
  • It think it is probably about as good as a Sonos Play 5, but that speaker sounds better because Sonos has an EQ tuning setting which works pretty well and can make a big difference in the clarity of the sound
  • If HEOS is the reason you want this speaker, Id recommend Sonos instead.

Reviews around range (5.00 of 5)

  • The product literature (also available from the Denon Web site, if you want to take a look before buying) talks quite a bit about the quality of the speakers (four custom drivers--two tweeters, a midrange, and a ported bass) and amplifiers (four Class-D amplifiers) but from my standpoint, I hear clean, full-range sound at all volume levels
  • I played a wide range of music from most genres and the speaker did not disappoint
  • The upper and mid-range are crystal clear and the bass is substantial, particularly considering there is no subwoofer

Reviews around base (5.00 of 5)

  • Bose looked like also not capable based on official forum discussions
  • Is has nice deep base but the mids are hardly there and the highs aren't very bright

Reviews around quality (3.98 of 5)

  • I want to give this a higher rating, as the sound quality is very good, and set up was pretty quick and easy, but Amazon Echo has spoiled me.
  • We were able to get it hardwired to the network and the sound quality is fine (though not as good as I
  • We were able to get it hardwired to the network and the sound quality is fine (though not as good as I
  • However, the sound quality is not cheap
  • App is so finicky I would not buy this product again, in spite of the fine sound quality, and the pricing.
