The Denon Home Sound Bar 550 gives you a big, enveloping sound, from a sleek and compact speaker.
Made for 3D sound
Designed to work with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, the Denon Home Sound Bar 550 delivers a spacious, three-dimensional sound from your movies. Compared to your TV’s sound, you’ll not only hear a more powerful, detailed sound but also more enveloping audio that wraps around you.
The Denon difference – 110 years of sound perfection
As one of the world’s oldest and most respected audio brands, Denon’s heritage is second to none. Take a listen to this soundbar and you’ll hear why. Using a multi-array speaker system, with soft dome tweeters, the sound is smooth and detailed. Additional passive radiators give you plenty of punch for action movies and music.
Take it to the next level with other Denon Home speakers
The Home Sound Bar 550 makes the perfect starting point for an even more impressive surround sound speaker system. For a more powerful bass, just add the Denon Home Subwoofer wireless subwoofer. Even more immersive sound is achieved by adding Denon Home 150, 250 or 350 speakers at the rear.
Alexa built-in
For easy operation, the Denon Home Sound Bar 550 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.
High-Resolution audio compatible
As well as offering an intense movie experience, the Denon Home Sound Bar 550 is also compatible with High-Resolution Audio. Hi-Res audio gives you the most detailed and natural sound possible and is available via the Denon’s USB or network connections. It supports a wide range of Hi-Res format files including DSD (2.8/5.6MHz),192kHz/24-bit FLAC, ALAC and WAV. It even supports gapless playback for glitch-free music.
HEOS built-in - for the finest multi-room audio
HEOS 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 Sound Bar 550 is ready to go as a single 'zone' without any further adaptors.
Control it all with the HEOS app
Once you've set up your HEOS speaker system, you can stream music effortlessly via the dedicated HEOS app. Available for Apple iOS, Android and Amazon Kindle, the app not only lets you stream your stored music but also Internet radio services and popular streaming services such as Spotify, Tidal, Napster and Deezer.
Bluetooth, AirPlay 2 and built-in wi-fi for the complete networking experience
With both Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 connectivity it's easy to connect all your smartphones, tablets and compatible lap/desktops and stream music wirelessly. The Denon also comes with wi-fi and Internet radio.

Connect it all
For quick and easy connection to your TV, this Denon soundbar features an HDMI ARC output. Thanks to the ARC (Audio Return Channel), you also only need a single HDMI cable between soundbar and TV to hear the sound from the TV's on-board receiver. There’s also an HDMI input plus optical and analogue 3.5mm inputs for other sources such as Blu-ray/DVD players and games consoles. Topping all this off is an USB input that’s perfect for playing Hi-Res music stored on a USB drive.

Nice Features
I wanted a soundbar that ticked a lot of very specific boxes - not too strong bass (definitely no subwoofer, built in or separate), bass adjustment, dynamic range compression, eARC, Atmos and DTS:X support, HDMI in - and struggled to find anything that offered all of this for a decent price. But this soundbar does it all, and the £399 price tag isn't bad at all. Sound quality is great - you can definitely hear the difference in quality between lower bitrate streaming sources vs largely uncompressed blu-ray/4k BD audio. Atmos and DTS:X have such presence it's like the sound is coming from right in front of you, rather than from 6-7 feet away.
My only slight gripe is that it takes a moment to produce sound when it receives it, so after being on the silent menus on Disney+, then starting a show or movie, it takes a couple of seconds to get going for some reason. I hope this can be addressed in an update.

Denon 550,, simpicity
So simple to setup, ,only tricky bit having to reset my JVC TV to accept, now works on app or supplied remote or TV remote. The volume counter shows on tv screen as before. When you turn on the tv the sound bar automatically fires up and is good to go after 4 or 5 seconds. the bar is deceptively loud and very clear at the far end of my house.

Very simple to set up
I’ve had this sound bar for just 2 weeks , the more I use it the more I love it , was a little unsure to start with as some programs sounded a little bit tinny , but once your watch a DVD the sound bar more than comes into its own . Very clear dialogue, I’ve set mine to low , the sound bar is now enhanced with Alexa
