Amazing sound, beautiful design, minor flaws

Amazing sound
Simple Wifi connectivity
Beautiful device
Connection to TV

When unpacking, I was positively surprised by the appearance of the speaker. Very nice device with beautiful materials and a high class look of the fabric covering that continues all around. The device also feels good and sturdy.

After connecting the power cable and installing the HEOS app, the installation is completed in no time. Very simple and the speaker is immediately ready for use via WiFi, ideal! The controls on the device itself also work nicely, with the control buttons (touch) lighting up nicely as soon as your hand comes close. This works very quickly and intuitively. What I also really like is the adjustable LED, which you can set to brightness. Very nice to have a very subtle light with which you can see that the device is on standby on Sundays that the lighting is too noticeable. The only drawback in terms of ease of use is the setting of radio stations in your favorites or via the preset buttons. I couldn't find anywhere where and how to search and add radio stations. Just like with Sonos (which I have at work), I would like to see a category (internet) radio in the app, where you can search for stations from all over the world and then play and add them directly. Now it took me a while to find out that I could register for free via Tune in. Subsequently, many channels appear not to play. Too bad this doesn't work better.

The sound of the speaker is simply stunning. I never thought that such a full and beautiful sound can come from such a small device. I even had to turn the bass setting down considerably because the average setting was too abundant for the room in which the speaker is located. Perfect, because I like a good, full bass that I would rather have to lower than that it falls short. Everyone I let the sound hear is amazed that what they hear comes out of that little block in the corner of the room. Compliments to Denon on the sound quality!

What I am not yet sure is whether this speaker can serve as a replacement for my sound set, consisting of a Denon amplifier and 2 Jamo speakers. This is because I have not yet succeeded in connecting the speaker to the TV in a simple, direct way. The only option so far is via the headphone output of the TV to the AUX input of the speaker. However, the speaker does not automatically detect that it needs to switch to the AUX input, so I have to arrange this via the HEOS app first. Then I can't control the sound via the remote control of the TV, but I have to do this again via the app. Hopefully I will find a solution for this so that I can realize my intention of replacing my sound set.

Overall, very satisfied with the appearance, ease of connection via WiFi and the excellent sound quality. Less happy with the functionality of connecting to the TV and configuring internet radio.

A fantastic high quality speaker

design
Material used
Sound experience

The first thing you notice is the design of this speaker. The design is compact and stylish, using really good materials and colors. This makes the Denon250 look very luxurious. Using the speaker is really simple: you download the HEOS app on the mobile / tablet, connect to the speakers and within seconds everything is linked and ready to play. The proximity sensor on it works fine and is a nice addition to the design. The sound that comes out of this speaker is very good. The speaker has beautiful, pure mid and high tones. A real WOW moment when I listened to the first song with good bass on this speaker. The volume can be quite high: We have a medium-sized living room (approximately 45m2), but did not dare to fully expand it (for the neighbors). I've had the speaker for a week and now the HEOS 5 and the Denon 250 are in the same setup, and this makes the sound really great and gives an extra addition to the sound experience.

Great speaker from DENON

Design
Sound quality
Deep bass

The first thing you notice is the design of this speaker. The design is compact and stylish, where really good materials and colors have been used, making it seem like the Denon has a premium appearance and is a high-quality wireless speaker. Using and setting up the speaker is really simple: you download the HEOS app on the mobile / tablet, connect to the speakers and within seconds everything is linked and ready to play. The proximity sensor on it works fine and is a nice addition to the design. The sound that comes out of this small appearance is very good, even better than expected. Where the HEOS 5 (my previous speaker from DENON) has a good and clear sound with excellent bass, the Denon 250 has a sublime deep bass that is not distorted, and beautiful clean mid and high tones. A real WOW moment when I listened to the first song on this speaker. The volume can be quite high: We have a medium-sized living room (approximately 45m2), but did not dare to fully expand it (for the neighbors). Highly recommended for the music lover and a wonderful addition to your living room.
