Mate, that was a good review, but you could consider using a different demo song. Example, Magic Part 2 by Otis McDonald. California Soul by Marlena Shaw (copyrighted)
@@castieldiallo2945 glad you liked the review, but as for song choices, nope. Copyright causes problems with the video being blocked and/or Google. So, rather play it safe and use a song from a friend that I know won't be hit with copyrights!
They have advertised it in videos as a 5.1 system but the sound bar only has 2 channels so with 2 rear speakers it’s actually only a 4.1 system with a phantom center
Is because you need to add the DENON subwoofer and a pair of DENON 150 at the back view for the real surround sound. Without those propers hardware added to the system you can’t compare with the others sound systems in the market. As a stand alone sound bar is much better than other soundbars I listened.
Sorry but witch kabel did u used? I’ve got the hdmi high speed 2.1 on a Apple TV 4K connected on earc hdmi input in the Denon home 550 the arc output from the Denon to arc tv en amazing vision en sound !! Beter then the sonos beam gen 2 (wich I have to)
Really impressed with your review, especially the sonic contrasts of low, mid and high range. I would like your opinion please? I have a Denon 3700 downstairs with heos and a full 5.1.4. Bowers and Wilkins, which I have configured as best with Alexa/ Heos (Amazon imo, is a better system with spatial and Atmos music support, as Heos does not support) I have bought this sound bar today for 285 quid to replace my Amazon studio ( in the bedroom), which for Atmos is fab, but tied to Amazon echo system firesticks ( now need to upgrade again from 4k to 4k max for Atmos support!) So for 285 quid paid, with no need to use a 4k firestick (Atmos enabled TV with passthrough) , used in my bedroom, does it surpass the Amazon studio for Atmos immersive and bass response? Thanks if you can get back to me. Adi.
@@TotallydubbedHD I already have 2 x Home 150, and the old Heos 5 spread around the house, and really like the sound. So this now works great as a TV sound bar, and also as extra room of music throughout the house via HEOS. Thanks again for a great video.
Hi! I have two speaker in my home. denon home 350 and 150. I can watch movies both of them with no delay on my iphone. But on macbook there is a delay and I can play sound only one of them. Can you please help me with that ?
@@TotallydubbedHD I have watched both reviews, but would like to hear your views on a comparison. I want a stand alone compact bar, whcib will fill the room best?
@@TotallydubbedHD I am confused abt “ must i hv Dtsx n Dolby Atmos functions or unnecessary for the sound bar to be used in my living room/ hall ( 15’ X11’ ) . I want to hv a soundbar that will not be outdated in next 2-3 years as soundbars in my country are very expensive, costing 2000-5000 in our currency So i was thinking of spending more now but getting a good sound bar with both functions so i need not replace it in nx 5-6 years. So, wat is the best soundbar with dtsx n dolby atmos that i shld get ? Will be very appreciative of your help. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Listening through high quality headphones, this sound bar just needs the subwoofer. The bar delivers rich, crisp detailed highs and mids. Punchy mid-bass is there. A satellite subwoofer will make this bar, in terms of sound quality, one of the best performers you can buy.
@@TotallydubbedHD Well I'm getting this to use as pc and multimedia speaker via the aux connection. Silly? Maybe. But if the sound and quality is great it's ok ;)
2min 44sec im out. It looks ugly. Squat dimensions suck. Ide rather slim sleek and long. It looks really ugly infront of your tv. My tv would make it look alittle better with side legs it can sit under the tv. You might aswel put out some family photos infront of your tv though. Its just there BOOM you cant miss it. Not seamless at all. Its dennon though we love dennon but nah. LG is the way i think so far. But LG sucks balls too just because theres way way too many options. I just cannot choose one of them especially with so many of them in the same price range. 250-350£ Now im at the point of just searching anything with dolby atmos built-in like its the be all end all thing.

Buy the Denon Home 550 from Amazon: locally.link/AawZ

Yes and by adding those, it would be competing with soundbars in a while other league above...
Awesome review 👏
You review Exact points what we look out for ☺️
Thanks buddy!
@TotallydubbedHD Would you recommend it at the price you can get it refurbished, about $300? Thanks.
Hello, if you have to make a choice betwin the denon home 550 and the yamaha Sr 30a, what will you do? Sorry for my anglish.. Thanks
I'd get the Denon
@@TotallydubbedHD ok , and betwen the denon and sennheiser ambeo mini ? thank you very much
@@ogwalter5954 different price points; suggest you watch my Sennheiser review and check the description.

That sounds correct in terms of setup.
I mean Sonos beam is $500 lol
Really impressed with your review, especially the sonic contrasts of low, mid and high range.
I would like your opinion please?

Glad you liked the review! As for your question, not tried the Amazon speaker so can't comment, sorry!
Just bought one for under £300, I reckoned at that price it was a decent buy.
Good buy indeed!
Hi, I've just bought this after watching your review. Should I be using PCM, or bitstream on my TV sound settings? TIA
Bitstream buddy! As PCM won't give you Dolby Digital etc
@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks again, already love the bar 👌
@@lewislaking no worries, and glad you're enjoying it - what made you pick it over its rivals however?

No idea, best asking Denon tech support, as I'm not it!
This one or the denon dht s 517 for music? Which has better sound quality. Thanks
@@sammathew81 I'd pick this as an all in one
@@TotallydubbedHD thanks
Is it good enough for 380€ ?
Can you use 550 as center and use 150s for left and right? Also if you buy 4 150s to use them in the back?
From memory, yes.
What's better sound, denon 550 or sennheiser ambeo mini?
Depends what you're looking for. Suggest watching both reviews and making your own informed decision.
@@TotallydubbedHD I have watched both reviews, but would like to hear your views on a comparison. I want a stand alone compact bar, whcib will fill the room best?
@@dannyfryer7794 I'd lean towards this given your criteria.

Check the description, as mentioned in the video, for my suggestions!

@@roobanloganathan6498 again, suggestions are in the description!
Great App . Love it
Glad you like it!
The price should be around $300 to $350 at most.
Without a subwoofer how could there be bass?
From the mid to full range drivers found within the soundbar unit itself.
Listening through high quality headphones, this sound bar just needs the subwoofer. The bar delivers rich, crisp detailed highs and mids. Punchy mid-bass is there. A satellite subwoofer will make this bar, in terms of sound quality, one of the best performers you can buy.
It certainly betters the experience, but then with it added costs a lot more and thus competes with far more expensive solutions
Can I use this as a PC soundbar?
Guess so, if connected over optical.
@@TotallydubbedHD or Aux 3.5
@@morten1 yes, but that would be really silly :)
@@TotallydubbedHD Well I'm getting this to use as pc and multimedia speaker via the aux connection.
Silly? Maybe.
But if the sound and quality is great it's ok ;)
@@morten1 that's the point, you'll be noticeably degrading the audio quality.
2min 44sec im out.
It looks ugly. Squat dimensions suck. Ide rather slim sleek and long.
It looks really ugly infront of your tv. My tv would make it look alittle better with side legs it can sit under the tv.
You might aswel put out some family photos infront of your tv though. Its just there BOOM you cant miss it. Not seamless at all.
Its dennon though we love dennon but nah. LG is the way i think so far. But LG sucks balls too just because theres way way too many options.
I just cannot choose one of them especially with so many of them in the same price range. 250-350£
Now im at the point of just searching anything with dolby atmos built-in like its the be all end all thing.
But is it?
Was a hard read lol. No, I wouldn't look for Atmos at this price point.
