love the mobility and sound coverage

I bought as a gift for daughter who has an openLR,DR and kitchen room layout w/ one bedroom apartment . she loves it ! easy to set up , looks good and provides nice music coverage in a very subtle way. I'm going to buy one for her bedroom in my house! for when she visits from out of state she can bring her music through her phone apps like Spotify.

Denon at home

Here in the desert we have ours on the covered patio. It mates w/ the first one, plus the Denon Home 250 and the Denon DRA 800H that drives a couple of classic Klipsch and sub. It's a well rounded fullness everywhere. Hear things completely.

Great small bookshelf speaker

We just added the Denon Home 150 to our current collection of Heos speakers. Now our home is covered with sound from the upstairs to the downstairs. The same fine quality speaker that we have come to expect from Heos/Denon.

I can't recommend Denon

I purchased three, Denon 150 speakers along with a Denon 350 about one month ago. These speakers are going to Goodwill on January 2, 2025. It is almost impossible to get them to connect to the WiFi network, and I am using new WiFi equipment. If you can get them to join, then it is very difficult to get them to group and to stay grouped. The HEOS app is not user-friendly. Also, one of the 150 speakers is already dead.

Great little speaker

I bought this to add a room to my sound system: it's the second Denon Home 150 I've purchased. Great sounding little speaker. It was a snap to add to the system using the HEOS app. One trick on that is, make sure your phone is set to the same network (home wifi) to go through the setup process. Once that's accomplished you can group any or all the Denon components and have music throughout your house.

Great sound, easy set-up, very pleased

Overall I am very pleased with this speaker, and may get more. Sound is great for such a small speaker. Set-up and connecting with both HEOS and Alexa was easy. My research before purchasing resulted in some confusion on how much Alexa functionality the speaker provided (online reviews were limited in this regard, Denon provided inaccurate information, Crutchfield consultant was spot on!), the speaker seems to be fully Alexa enabled (voice control to change music, alters volume, answers questions, etc.). I would have provided a 5 star rating if this speaker could be grouped with Alex devices so it would be included in my whole house music.

Denon 150 Speakers

The sound is incredible. I have ten SONOS speakers and have concerns about viability of SONOS after a debacle of an update that occurred 5/7/24. Fortunately, my music library is functional now. I spoke to Hunter at Crutchfield who was incredible helpful and awesome! He told me about the DENON speakers. The sound is equal or actually better than SONOS. There is a richness in the tone. And, the HEOS app made it very simple to install. The app is not the best but it works.

If you want to replace an echo device look elsewhere - this device is challenged in the hearing department, I'll say 'Alexa do something', and unless I'm within 6 feet of this device an echo dot two rooms away will hear before this does. As a music player this device sounds fine.

Denon Home 150

Purchased a "scratch and dent" unit to try one out and it arrived in perfect condition. I think it has pretty good sound. Works great with Airplay and the biggest benefit for me is that I can play music sources (turntable & bluesound vault) from my Denon AVR-H in another room which can't be done with the Apple home pods. HEOS was pretty easy to set up and not too kludgy. I may get another to pair in stereo. I've used it to play TuneIn radio, radio paradise, and Apple Music in multiple rooms on multiple devices (HEOS 150, Denon Receiver and home pods) that stream synchronously via airplay from my phone.

Disrespectful Manufacturer

The Denon Home 150 is comparable, in sound quality, to the Bose Home Speaker 500 which it replaced. The reason I gave it a three star rating is because even though you know that some purchasers of the unit will be using The Google Assistant, you did not provide that as an option for the user. That sucks, absolutely!!! You can still rectify that with a software upgrade yet you choose not to. Shame on you, arrogant, lazy and apathetic I suppose. Yet, as a business person you know that a move like that would benefit both you the user you remain totally without empathy, even though you market this unit as Google capable, it is not. Looking back, I will not recommend this unit to anyone, because of that.

North Bend

NOT SUITABLE FOR HOME ENTERTAINMENT. Purchased Denon 150s 9 months ago and have been struggling to get them to connect through my Marantz Cinema 50 ever since. It was straight for ward to WiFi connect the Marantz AND Denon though my phone for Spotify. But I also wanted to use them for a wireless second room audio from cable. (ie TV/Movies thru the Marantz). After months of failing, I finally hired a tech to connect through the Marantz . (by the way two other techs declined to come out because HEOS is too difficult and quirky). After 2 hours of trial and error, the tech made it work, but this morning it failed to boot up again. I have come to the conclusion that anything connected by HEOS is not suitable for Home Entertainment. MY 150s are moving to the garage for a life bluetoothed to streaming music, nothing more. I am hoping to find that Sonos does a much better job at wireless Home Entertainment.

Purchased 2 of the 150's for a Formal Dining Room for background ambiance music and placed them in opposite corners of the room. You can definitely hear the stereo separation and the music fills the room without a problem. I also own several 350's and prefer the 150 for this application. Easy pairing and setup. 100% recommended.

Terrible Denon Customer Service

I purchased this speaker 5 months ago. Connection has been tricky since I bought it - but finally today it would not connect at all. After all the troubleshooting (thanks Crutchfield, you rock!) the speaker is effectively declared dead, and needs to be dealt with by Denon. I have now spent over 4 hours dealing with Denon Customer Service. This company is a total nightmare. Do not buy anything from Denon! The sound is great - when it isn't a hockey puck. But if something goes wrong, you are out totally of luck.

Nice Sound and Functionality

I decided to try the 150 to go along with my Denon AVRX-2700H with HEOS powering the central living room. The 150 sounds just as good as the Sonos Play 1s I already had--nice sound and impressive bass for a small speaker. I'm going to let the Play 1s go to get another 150 to put the house on one system. The 150s are more versatile than the Play 1s due to the included bluetooth option and three programmable preselects. With the AVR grouped to the 150 I can walk by and press one button on the wireless to turn on the whole system to one of three chosen internet stations or playlists. And with the HEOS app I can quickly call up everything else. The app works well and was easy to learn. Set-up was easy too--just plug it in, open the app, and follow a few prompts. Very pleased with Crutchfield's quick service and especially the pre-sale confirmation of the available functions and technical specifications.

A great option for wireless sound

My personal opinion is that this is a better option than Sonos. Plays over wifi or blue tooth. The app works for my wife's android and my iPhone airplay. Doesn't ask for payment for the app a week later like Sonos. Has great sound and never drops out. My wife is happy!

Great sound, but needed a router upgrade

This is a great sounding speaker when paired for stereo listening. I have 2 of these Denon Home 150s as a stereo pair + a Denon Home 250 occasionally grouped with my Denon AVR-X3700H. The Denon AVR-X3700H only has one HEOS/AirPlay2 transmitter so its only possible to play the Main zone as an AV Input to the Denon Home wireless speakers. If you want to play Zone 2 with HEOS you need to get another HEOS integrated amplifier (like the Denon-PMA-900HNE). If you just want to use Apple AirPlay2, then you could probably get a Sonos Amp and connect it to zone 2. I originally tried setting up these speakers with a Netgear Nighthawk x6 AC3200 tri-band router, but I could only get ApplePlay2 to work consistently using that router or using one of the music services in the HEOS app, but not my AVR inputs, and it would sometimes cut out while playing. To the people who gave a 1 star review for this reason, the problem was not the speakers, it was the router! I fixed this with an upgrade to a tp-link AC5400 MU-MIMO Tri-Band Gaming Router, and now HEOS works through the app. Using the HEOS app I can play AV Inputs in any room. Or instead play any one of the music services through the HEOS app on my AVR and the paired Denon 150s AND play from an Apple device using AirPlay2 on a different speaker (the Denon 250) at the same time!

Great purchase!

Really nice little speaker. Can be used alone, but much better set up as a stereo pair. If you're on a strict budget, start with one. My guess is you will be buying more of them for several rooms soon! My set includes a pair of these, one 250 and one 350. Such a huge difference in the quality of music streaming with the Denon speakers. The speakers can also pair with Bluetooth, which is a big plus, as not all of the competition does this. Easy purchase from Crutchfield and fast shipping.

Happy little speaker

It sounds great! I have a Denon 250 for outside and Heos link for my home theater. I put this in the back bedroom and it really adds to the system. Music everywhere! I would say the bass in good for the size. I have two ten inch subs for the home theater system so this little guy adds the med and high to the back of the house. Very happy with this little speaker.

Not for streaming from apple music

The Heos app is very glitchy. These 150's speakers sound ok but and I recommend the product, unless your goal is to stream to more than 1 speaker from Apple Music. If Apple Music is your source, read on. The Heos app is not compatible with Apple Music subscription service (it is with purchased iTunes music). If you are buying multiple Denon Home Speakers to group them together with a subwoofer, and you want to stream Apple Music from your apple device, let me save you some frustration. The Heos app is designed to allow you to "group" multiple speakers / subwoofer and listen to music simultaneously from all speakers. In the app you can group speakers into rooms, which is nice. If you use just about any streaming service but Apple Music, this setup will work. But Apple Music is not part of the Heos app. As such, you cannot stream apple music to multiple bluetooth speakers, that is, if you want a subwoofer paired. The Denon Home Sub is not a bluetooth woofer. So it will not show on the Airplay list. If you have 2 or more 150's, 250's, or 350's, you can select multiple speakers from the Apple Music app and you are good to go. But the Denon Home Sub won't show. You can pair the sub to a 150, but this results in the 150 no longer showing in airplay. This is because the Heos app group the 2 speakers and apple music will not ID this as 1 bluetooth speaker. When playing through Heos app, you are actually using wifi to send music to all speakers, not bluetooth.

Nice, but basically an overpriced single speaker w/o firmware updates.

Nice sound BUT when you get beyond the marketing hype there are technical issues. Denon pushes out firmware/software updates to its products. Currently, these speakers DO NOT have the latest updates. This means that while you can play music on them you can't group them into 'Rooms' to get surround sound, 3.1 or 5.1 sound or link to your Denon soundbar and other equipment. When I called them yesterday to talk about getting the updates the basic response is that 'you'll need to wait.' No timeline when the latest update is coming. I don't know if the same thing occurs with Sonos but you might check them as an alternative.

Great little speaker. Tremendous sound quality, range and volume. More than I expected.

Awesome Sound!!

I am rating this product as 4.5 not a 4. We tested it with Pandora vs Amazon Music HD and we can hear the difference. When using my iPhone built-in speakers we could hear a slight difference between Pandora and Amazon. But when using one DENON Home 150 my wife and I do appreciate and notice the value and quality of Amazon Music HD. We are new to the Hi-Res game and we noticed that we can listen all day on the Denon Home 150 without ear fatigue vs iPhone speakers. After 2 hours on iPhone speakers we usually turn off the music because it does get irritating. Practically, we are using the Denon all day for music and Netfilx. We do plan to buy another Home 150 for stereo and one Home 250.

Sounds Great, Wireless Connectivity Not Consistent

Have two of these. One each in a room that is 13x11. As others have said, great sound that more than fills the room. The only issue I've had so far is they do not consistently stay connected to my wireless network. I'm determined to figure it out though because they sound great and it's nice to be able to listen to great sounding music throughout the house.

Great speaker for it's size, very easy to connect to wi-fi

Works with the HEOS system very well. Easy connection, easy setup. Very nice looking with our decor according to my wife. So bonus points for that. The sound is about what I expected looking at the specifications. The bass is not very tight, but what can you expect from a 3 1/2 inch woofer. Placement of the speaker, which has three settings to match where you put it, seems a little more critical than I thought it would be. Thats a result of the traditional speaker design. Unlike say something like an Apple speaker with multiple drivers to bounce sound off of any surface and correct with a sound processor. All that being said the speaker can fill a large room way better than expected, plenty of volume. I would give it five stars if the sound was more even across all frequencies. An alto sax sounds great, some vocals can sound quit airy when they should, but add a couple more instruments into the mix and things can get a little muddy. I know I'm expecting a lot from a small single self powered speaker. I might spring for another one to see how the system works in stereo. I think that would eliminate a lot of my minus one star rating and push it to a five star rating.

Denon works.

Denon and Crutchfield are my Go-to resource for this very unique speaker system. After 50 years of chasing wires, I'm over it. My three floors of space is laced with great sound and no wire issues. My Marantz receiver and all our iPads and iPhones work wonders over our wireless network. The HEOS Playlist is an INSTANT easy dream GIVING FULL TUNE SELECTION of the master playlist. PLUS Individual speaker or master volume come on the 350, 250 or 150. They just work with no fuss. I run tv sound through the Marantz so HEOS manages that sound as well. Perfect Christmas music for an entire day with one playlist and one button to push. Preset tune levels allow each location to have the desired sound level with no fuss. Spend time with family and friends, not wires and switches. Denons are not cheap, just worth it for the ease of install and use. They are Not designed for rain but mine do well in the covered decks and bathroom areas. I use a stock satellite server for the wireless network. Ten foot stone walls have so far not hindered the HEOS system or speakers. Denon works.

Great speaker, minor cons that in no way prevent a recommendation

Quite excellent sound for it's size, works great with the HEOS app (after you finally get it connected). While the touch controls on the top are flashy and neat, I worry that their longevity will not be comparable to well design physical buttons. Hope to be proven wrong! It's also gorgeous anywhere you put it (in black). Glad they offer it in black - so incredibly tired of white electronics (or furniture!), such a crap aesthetic. Black goes with everything, white just gets dirty and yellowed over time. Note: Slightly painful setup process, I was forced to set it up via wired connection, then I had to go in to the HEOS app settings and manually switch connectivity from wired to wireless for it to be able to see my network. Very odd, never before have I seen a device that requires manual switching from wireless to wired.

Missing an Off Button

Product is the size we were after. Sound is good (except for real music listening). Installation was easy and the Heos app has many nice options. The biggest knock on it is there is no [easy] way to turn off the unit. All you can do is stop the playing from the app.

Sounds good, but 4 stars because Alexa integration with Spotify is still not implemented and I'm not hopeful that it ever will be. That being said, if you use the HEOS ecosystem, this is your small form-factor smart speaker. It may be small but it gets loud with plenty of boom. Too much, actually, but you can make course adjustments to "treble" and "bass" in the HEOS app.

Great recommendation and superb quality

My previous small wireless speakers had seen better days. A reputable magazine provided a stellar review of this Denon Home 150. I bought one based on that review. Soon after installing and listening carefully, I was incredibly impressed with the sound quality AND the many EASY options for connecting the speaker. So impressed that I ordered two more! They are in the dining room, living room, and guest room being driven by iTunes AirPlay 2 on a Retina 5K iMac. The sound and ease of use are both superb.

Great little speaker

Great speaker....had zero issues connecting it to my existing Marantz HEOS equipment. Zero issues streaming high res music from Marantz receiver USB via HEOS. Great sound at low to medium volume....when pushed over 48-50 volume setting the bass either gets forced or sloppy. But overall very happy with it. I'd probably suggest using this to supplement sound in another room while playing main stereo or as a stand alone unit in a small to medium room at a normal volume level. The placement settings in the set up menu works great and makes it sound better (Bass level) based on your room placement. Generally I use middle setting (against one wall)...free standing setting makes bass a little too full and gets bloated, corner setting Bass is just too flat. I'd recommend keeping the volume under 48-50 setting at maximum and should have zero issues.

Not great for computers

I'm a Heos fan and have my entire house wired with a Heos system. However, these speakers were purchased for my computer system. Even though they sounded ok and not great, the biggest challenge was the lag in vocals during video playback.

Quality sound, clear and articulate, easy set up

This speaker sounds great. It is impressively full sounding for it's size. Also has enough volume for anywhere you would need a small speaker. Wouldn't do a living room or whatnot but on now the patio, in the kitchen or bathroom it's nice. It doesn't create a stereo image if that is what you are after. You can group two for that or at step to the 250 (which I haven't heard). Setup in my network was simple, basically automatic through the app and took maybe 30 seconds. Grouping and ungrouping in the HEOS app is easy. It took me a second to figure out how to independently control the volume of each device within the group. You have to do it in the HEOS app under the playing tab which is easy enough once you know where to go. Overall it sounds nice with clarity, full bass, good separation of frequencies, maybe a little light in the midrange but who know, it's all subjective and you can tweak the eq. I like it enough that investors going to order another for the bathroom and one for the kitchen so I can tie my two channel system in the the theatre and all the rooms I need music in at any given time. Recommended!

Denon Home 150

I have all the different Denon Wireless speakers and I truly love the sound of the Home 150's and how easily it was to hook them up to the WiFi and they work and sound great. I put them together as a pair and then it is ZZ Top for some great music. I recommend these speakers highly!

Amazing sound!

I was setting a pair of these up with a Denon soundbar and sub. When I started testing one of these with the Denon amp I had to check and make sure that I hadn't accidentally turned on the whole group of speakers. The sound out of one speaker was really nice. Adding it to the other speaker, soundbar and woofer makes a very nice sound system, but just by itself, it's very impressive.

Denon Home 150

When it works it is a great sounding speaker. I bought two speakers for a stereo pair. My intention was to play my music library from a USB external hardrive plugged directly into the Home 150 USB port. I could not get any music to play from the USB port with several different devices or file formats. The wireless was more frustrating. It would work sometimes. then cut off and I could not retrieve it with out going through initial speaker setup. I live in a small apartment with strong signal strenght and my other wireless devcices work fine. The worse part was lack of customer support from Denon who never responded and Crutchfield who could not help. This my third wireless speaker. I tried Sonos and Harmon Kardon. My conclusion is wireless speaker tech is a joke.

Works well

I bought this for the ease of having a wireless system between two different rooms. And the HEOS functionality works fine for that. It lets me play whatever is on the reciever in another room (CD, bluetoothed itunes, Internet radio...) and I can control the inout with my phone. I only bought one speaker to start and that's fine for some things, but think seriously about getting two if true stereo sound is important to you on what you plan to use it/them for.

It works great with ROON

I started to hear about ROON a few months ago but did not really understand what it was. Part of that had to do with me not being a streaming music guy. I prefer to own the media (CD's or LP's) and then ripping the music to FLAC, WMA, MP3's. Digital downloads are boring as you have nothing physical to own or look at. ROON helps you have the "physical" in a digital world. I do love taking all my music with me on a phone or music player. So, what does this have to do with the Denon Home 150? I recently added a ROON core to my home system. ROON allows you to easily stream all your digital content (online or on a server) to any ROON ready device or endpoint. I have a Marantz SR7013 (ROON ready with HEOS). So, I added the Home 150 in our bedroom so I could stream music there. I am getting another Home 150 for the living room. The Home 150 is a HEOS device and is ROON ready. The Home 150 was pretty easy to attach to the Marantz SR7013 with HEOS and ROON picked it up as soon as it was on my network (ROON would also pick it up without the Marantz as well). I love this little speaker. It does not sound like my main system, but how could it. It is a small powered speaker. It works and sounds great for the application I use it for. I am very happy with this speaker and highly recommend it.

Work Great and Sounds Good

So far, it has been great. It sounds very good and works well with the HEOS app connect to my home network I have paired it with the following bluetooth devices: - Samsung Galaxy S10 - Sandisk Clip Plus(weak blue tooth transmitter) - Apple Ipod 7th Gen. It sounds much better than my Google Home speaker and moderately better than my Amazon Alexa speaker. The only down side, is it doesn't have a battery pack where I could take it outside without having to plug it in and the cost is a bit pricey. I would definitely recommend this device to people with a good ear for music.

Punching Above their Weight

I was looking for a pair of portable "smart" speakers, and these Denon Home 150 HEOS speakers fit the bill. The sound is well-balanced for a compact speaker, and the bass is perfect for an unobtrusive speaker that can fill a bedroom or home office with music. I have a Denon AVR3400H receiver so I had my HEOS account already configured. Adding the new Home 150 speakers, I ran into two issues: 1) my WiFi SSID is hidden, so I ended up using my IoT WiFi instead. 2) my primary WiFi is 5GHz (2.4 GHz shut off) and it wouldn't pair. Now that it's connected, it's been solid. Features I like: there are 3 presets on the touchpad on top. Using the HEOS App to configure your preference, touch and hold the preset # to save this configuration. Now, you can control the speaker without the App! Using the HEOS App, you can drag one speaker onto of another and create a Stereo Pairing. It gets treated like one HEOS speaker, but will play the Left channel on one and the Right on the other. Left/Right can be flipped if necessary, using the Balance control to verify location. Bluetooth playback is easy to set up, but it doesn't allow for L/R assignment. The same limitation exists with AirPlay 2 (note, if you have a HEOS stereo speaker pair, the speakers aren't available for AirPlay.) These are awesome and versatile streaming speakers, anywhere in your home that has WiFi. Add in Bluetooth and add a 3.5mm audio input jack and these will have a long life of providi

Disappointed

They wouldn't interface wirelessly with my Denon AVR even though both have HEOS technology built in. Very disappointing!
