”The sound the Denon serves up is as confident and wide-ranging as its on-paper specification.” ’Trusted Reviews’ – Recommended.Home 250 – the perfect balance of sound and style
Sitting between the Home 150 and 350 models, the Denon Home 250 offers the ideal compromise between compact style and spacious sound. The powerful sound easily fills larger rooms but doesn’t dominate them.
Quality, Denon stereo sound
With over 110 years of experience, in the home and studio, Denon are a world-class audio brand. With its stereo speakers, the Home 250 offers a substantial upgrade in sound over the mono Home 150 model. Stereo speakers not only give a more powerful sound but also a more lifelike and spacious soundstage. For added punch, the Home 250 also features a passive bass boost. These gives a deeper, richer sound at all volume levels.
Hi-Res audio playback
For the highest quality playback, the Home 250 is compatible with Hi-Res audio playback. Compatible with FLAC, WAV and ALAC files up to 192kHz/24 bit and DSD 2.8/5.6, you can stream top quality music over the network or using the built-in USB.
All your music. And more
Compatible with Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music HD, TIDAL, Deezer and more, the Home 250 makes the ideal match for your music streamer of choice. Built-in TuneIn also lets you connect to hundreds of Internet Radio stations.
3 Quick Selects
With so many Internet Radio stations available, the Home 250 lets you store your three favourites, giving quick and easy access the next time you need to retune.
Stream your way – Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth
To get the best streaming experience for you, the Home 250 adapts to just about any wireless streaming scenario. AirPlay 2 makes the Denon speaker ideal for Apple users. Bluetooth connectivity is perfect for when the speaker’s in a Wi-Fi-free zone or when you need a quick and easy link to hear music from a visitor’s smartphone.
HEOS built-in - for the finest multi-room audio
HEOS compatible multi-room music systems connect together by dual-band Wi-Fi, making them easy to set up with your existing home network. Up to 32 HEOS units can be set up at one time, ensuring even the largest of homes are covered for multi-room music. With HEOS already built-in, the Home 250 is ready to go as a single 'zone' without any further adaptors.
Stereo pairing and rear AV speaker options
Buy a second Home 250 and you can double the sound – still configured as a true stereo speaker system, all via the HEOS app. With twin speakers you not only get a larger sound but also a more spacious acoustic that covers more of your room. Pair up with the Denon DHT-S716H or Home Sound Bar 550 soundbars, and the Home 250 speakers become rear effect speakers – perfect for easy home cinema.
Effortless control from your smartphone or tablet
Controlling the Home 250 is simple with the free HEOS app. This user-friendly app uses three main tabs that feature at all times - Rooms, Music and Now Playing. You can listen to the same music in every room or different music in different rooms. The app also lets you group HEOS compatible devices such as soundbars and AV receivers, for totally connected home audio.
Now with Amazon Alexa built-in
For easy operation, the Denon Home 250 has Alexa, voice-control built-in. Once you’ve given your permission for the microphones to be activated, simple voice control lets you adjust the volume, input and track selection. Voice control is also possible by linking to a Google Assistant speaker or smartphone.
Sleek operation
Proximity-sensing buttons light up as you move your hand moves towards them. This gives seamless control, without the distracting light of permanently lit controls.
Added connectivity from USB and 3.5mm Aux
In addition to wireless connectivity, the Home 250 also offers both USB and 3.5mm AUX connections. Plug in your USB media stick and listen to stored music anywhere on the network. The 3.5mm AUX input is ideal for adding another local source, such as a turntable (with built-in phonostage) or even your TV to the main speaker zone.
Upgrade to a higher grade wireless speaker, with the top quality Denon Home 250.

Overall okay.
Short and to the point - I've never spent this much on a speaker before. I got it online without hearing it on the basis that a speaker this expensive had to sound good. And generally it does. The bass is too heavy, though. Like nearly all modern speakers it seems to be designed for RnB and big parties. To be fair, the volume this thing can put out it's very well suited to a house party. For me though I nearly returned it. Listening to, e.g. a Tori Amos track and having her vocals nearly swamped by thumping bass was absolutely not what I expected from a speaker in this price range. The only audio where bass wasn't a problem were things like classical piano where there quite literally aren't any drums or bass for it to pump up. Via the HeOS app (you can't adjust it directly on the speaker) I was able to turn bass down to the lowest it allowed and this brought it to what I consider acceptable. Having done that, I can now appreciate the overall quality of the speaker. At this price range though, I expect what I buy to be exactly what I want. I haven't 100% decided not to return this, yet. I wish speaker manufacturers would provide for the non-Caveman market.
On the subject of the HeOS app, it's elegantly put together and intuitive enough to use, more or less. So long as you're okay with the fact that you have to install it and grant it access in the first place. I had problems with pairing it initially. The reason turned out to be that your home network needs to allow both access to your intranet. I.e. it's not enough that both can connect to wireless, devices must be able to talk to each other. This might make the security conscious wary that devices like wireless speakers can see their home computer, etc. But once the initial pairing is done, you can as it happens use Spotify from then on without that access needing to be granted so you can disable it afterwards. You need to turn it back on if you want to do anything more with the HeOS app though. Which from time to time you will. None of this will likely bother people other than security professionals, though. You can also use the speaker through direct Bluetooth pairing or wired ethernet if you want.
So to summarise, the sound quality is very good, the HeOS app is better than most such apps but pretty much necessary to use for setting up, the bass is too heavy out of the box (imo) but can be adjusted downwards. I've marked it down from a 5 because of the bass. If you're more of an RnB type or want thumping house parties, it's probably a 5.

Great piece of kit.
I got the Denon 250 for my birthday, and my brother in law loved it and asked for one as well. I love the ice deep tone, and the sleek design.

Does the job
Wanted music in my gazebo and as I have set up a good Wi-Fi signal in the gazebo this worked brilliant. Also linked it in to my Denon AV receiver as well.

Great sound, questionable connection
Bought this product to work with denon AVR2600. The sound on it is great, very clear even on lowest volume settings, and when grouped with my 5:1 system sounds amazing.
Two issues- the connection drops out quite a bit more frequently than other Bluetooth speakers and never seems to be a quick fix to get back. This is whilst on Apple Airplay.
Second issue - the Heos app. Anyone who uses Heos will understand the frustration that brings!

Good sound, setup problems
Dad this a couple of weeks, happy with the sound. As expected with all speakers, bass can be overpowering if placed in a corner, here the positioning settings in the heos app help to tame this. This setting was a significant reason I chose the Denon over others.
The second reason I chose the Denon was the quick select buttons, expecting to be able to preset 3 internet radio stations. They don't work, or don't work like that, disappointed.
On first power on I updated as required, twice, and rechecked for updates many more times, but still no Alexa options. Contacted support via the app, 3 weeks now and still no reply.
Fortunately the next day (Sunday) an update was available, that did provide the Alexa option.
Contacted Denon support about the quick select buttons, still no reply.
Recommend but don't expect Denon support, or the preset buttons to do anything useful.

Great sound
Bought this whilst looking for a compact smart speaker. Had a SONOS( not from Richer sounds) earlier, for 2 days which I returned because there's no Bluetooth for Android devices.
So am quite happy with Denon, and let's see how long it lasts....

Great sound
The sound system is wonderful, just as I expected. It was easy to set up and use Spotify, Amazon Music, etc on it.
My husband was able to connect all the speakers to play music and YouTube at the same time, which was brilliant.
