Great sound but not too cheap
The sound is quite good, better than I expected. I had to downsize from a 5.1 system because my wife didn't want all the boxes and cables anymore.
Now my wife is happy and I have to say in the end I'm sad to say goodbye to my old system but quite content with this box.Pro
- sound
- no more boxes and cables all over the place
Contra
- not cheap
Fine and good without buts!
Finally a soundbar with style!
This soundbar not only sounds good, it also looks good. But what does it mean, it sounds good? With the app, I can set pretty much everything I need. Since this soundbar is a 3.0 system, which means that it contains a centre + front right + front left and also serves as a small receiver, I can emphasise dialogue in films very precisely, operate the equaliser and also precisely equalise the sound/image delay. So I get a comprehensive sound to either music or film. Just the way I like it.
It is clear, however, that a soundbar cannot come close to studio monitors; the physical dimensions of the resonance body set their limits somewhere. But if you are aware of this, you will be very happy with this soundbar. However, if you are bothered by the frequency range, you can simply extend it with a subwoofer and enjoy the low frequencies as well.Pro

great sound
Great sound! I've been using it for a while now, but it's been a bit of a pain since I changed my modem, it sometimes loses its configuration and I have to reset it and re-enter the wi-fi password... otherwise great product.
Everything is tip-top, but...
... it's a bit strange that the thing has no display, no menu to configure etc.. Everything is done via the HEOS app. It works very well, which is the most important thing.
One of the best soundbars....if not the best.
The Heos Bar is one of the best, if not the best soundbar with its features. It has many HDMI connections, a coax connection and an optical connection. You can upgrade it to a 5.1 which is super easy. The only thing that doesn't work, or only with a lot of problems, is when you want to group the 5.1 system with another Heos speaker for listening to music, for example.
You should always have the 5.1 as such and use two separate Heos (which you can then also group) for music. That way it works just perfectly.Would buy it again...
I don't want to reopen the other reviewers or repeat the same thing. But I have to say this: the Denon app is terrible. As easy as the system was to set up (unpack, connect, enjoy), the app is just as bad to use. The word "user experience" doesn't seem to be in Denon's vocabulary. Too bad...
Pro
- easy to set up
- perfect finishing
- many interfaces (HDMI)
- great sound
Contra
- crisp price
- Optional bass module costs over 700 CHF
