Got this today. Best sound settings are High Dialogue Enhancher on, Bass at exactly 1 full dot -1 and 3d surround sound on. Nice stuff. Can turn bass all the way down if want then can turn up volume way more Edit - These settings are good for everything except Call of Duty game it seems. Bad for Modern Warfare 2 for some reason. Had to go pure for that game.
@@UnboxEverythingDK Thank you for your reply, do they completly switch off, I am mean when it on and playing when connected to TV, it will be great if you could make video on light issues on soundbars, it will be great content because lots of people are looking for the light issue as it is quiet distracting when watching TV. Appreciated!
@@rohinbali9093 oh that's interesting! I will take a deeper look. Generally I keep mine on the floor beneath the TV unit so I don't notice it very much but I will see if there is a way to switch off the lights.
I was considering buying this, didn't realise how long it was. I might have ordered it from Amazon without checking the dimensions. Also learnt from the comments section that everywhere is £149, Amazon made it seem like a limited time price. Thanks!
@@UnboxEverythingDK If it sounds as good as it should and Denon are still is good as they used to be, then it's still a really good price. I don't like a TV in my living room, was interested in this for when I bring a PC monitor through to game. I guess I'll just have to slum it with the Bose Companion 3 I use with my projector ;)
Hello bro, does the denon dht s216 produce crystal sound clarity and Dolby atmos? I confused whether I should go for Harmon kardon onyx studio 7 or denon DHT-S216? Please, I want your opinion and recommendation.
@@UnboxEverythingDK can I go with the subwoofer built in or I have to buy external? I prefer not if you tell me that this is not sounding like a empty can
@@GhettoProductionsBulgaria Hello! I'm not a sound expert so I don't know what that means. I like things with bass too and I think it's enough for me. ✌️
Watch out with this S216. Be worn that it has problems when changing the source from app to tv. You will need to use denon remote everytime to change the source in the soundbar. So even with ARC You will need 2 remotes. Denon service is not heping, not even answering to the question. Be worn. As far as i red mostly problem is with using Samsung smart tv's.
If you are giving a review have you considered doing a little bit of pre-research into what the buttons etc all do, rather than have a series of ‘I think this does this, and I think that does that, and you can probably do X, but I’m not sure’. That’s not really any use. MUCH more helpful to unbox and show what comes included, then unpack and be able to say with confidence - ‘this button does this, and that button does that’. Would give a much more professional impression. Also a shame you didn’t do a test on your TV plus how easy it was to set up as most people will be buying a Soundbar for their TV. But it was a useful insight into what is there.
Hey mate, thank you for the constructive feedback. I get a bit too excited with these things to be honest. It wasn't really a review but more so an unboxing experience and first time impression shown through a consumer lens. There was also (at time of purchase) very little or none at all video coverage of this particular soundbar anywhere, so thought it would have been helpful for people to give them an idea of what it is, how it looks and partially how it sounds. Saying that, I will try to do better next time and have taken all your feedback on board. 🙂✌️
No sub unfortunately but yeah this thing packs a punch! You can adjust bass levels on the remote which is handy. Price sounds about right! *Edit: to be clear, the sub is actually the downwards firing speakers. But if you're referring to an external sub then no.
@@UnboxEverythingDK yeah i have seen these online at the local Costco, i checked. I was looking at the exact model and wondering about it’s honesty and performance. I think at that price it will be perfect for winding down at the end of the day in the bedroom . I won’t even notice there’s no sub. Good straight up review , Thankyou. It’s my first Sound Bar
Great review and thanks for sharing. I am an older user so just need something to upgrade my smart TV sound more than listening to music. I've had a really old Panasonic sound base (SC-HTE80 )so hoping this will be an upgrade on that but in any case it is much smarter looking. Just ordered one for delivery tomorrow.
Wattage is only one part of the equation. With speakers, there's also Ohms and Sensitivity (as well as speaker cabinet design, size and porting) with amplifiers there's are different classes of power transformer. But really, at the end of the day, it's about how it sounds and connivence to live with. Maybe go to a shop and give it a listen?
Family member got a Bose sound bar for Xmas and it's very loud and shakes the house. I just checked wattage and it says 30 watts lol. New speakers are different or something
@@UnboxEverythingDK no worries, didn't mean to come across as a d! just that people might think "ooh headphones" and buy one (or plug a bluetooth transmitter into it) and find they get nothing.

Help question - does the front Led light, i mesn the mode light switch afterca while or does it stsy on all the time???
Generally they stay on and get dimmer but it depends which mode you have it on!

It seems that the price tactic was the same for me. But I still really like this sound bar!

Do u have an updated test with movies and games? Planning to buy one for a fairly small living room (~9 sqm).
I don’t have one but I use it all the time for gaming and it packs a punch. I also have quite a large living room but it fills it without struggle.

Sir Sonos Era 100 Denon 150. Compare Plz Reply 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have a question regarding the bass! Is it sufficient enough for movies? I know you wont get a shaking floor but are explosions good enoug?
Yeah the bass is strong enough for me! I never keep it on the highest settings either.
@@UnboxEverythingDK thank you :)
How is the bass felling?
Strong! But I suppose everyone has different tolerances so it's hard to define what is strong/weak etc... for me though it's enough 🙂
@@UnboxEverythingDK is it enough for listening music?
@@UnboxEverythingDK can I go with the subwoofer built in or I have to buy external? I prefer not if you tell me that this is not sounding like a empty can

6:52 I’ve missed these moves 😂
Dad moves 😂
VERY light on the actual review of the sound quality. Not sure if this was intended.
Makes a lot of difference!
It really does!
Everywhere is doing it for £149.99 so whilst it’s a bargain there was no mistake in the store.
Well now I just feel like an idiot! 😂
@@UnboxEverythingDK haha. Still a good review though, I think I’ll splash out 😊
Can this be connected to TV via Optical? My TV doesn't have an HDMI (ARC)
Yes! It comes supplied with a cable too.

really ? just got an QE55QN93 and I was checking this Denon ... would hate to use the 2 controllers !
@@dankof this Denon is a crap.
Bet this thing is awesome for gaming!
Oh man it's incred for gaming!

Btter than bose 600?
AUD $259 Costco where I live in Oz. I’m getting one just for the Bedroom.

That’s awesome! I’ve been using mine everyday since unboxing and it’s been great.
Such a shame it's only 40 watts. That's unacceptable.

That's 40watt per speaker so thats loud
@@ps5andstuffhere No it's not. It's 40 watts in the entire soundbar.
@@Revolver1981 Ok. I ordered one anyway. Let's see. I saw another review and they said it was amazing. Big bass

Aux In is 100% NOT for headphones. Keyword "in", not "out".
Plugging headphones in that port will do absolutely nothing.
🤦♂
Thanks for the info, will keep that in mind. I'm sorry, I'm a noob 😂
@@UnboxEverythingDK no worries, didn't mean to come across as a d! just that people might think "ooh headphones" and buy one (or plug a bluetooth transmitter into it) and find they get nothing.
It would have been better if you actually tested with a TV
Next time 🙂
Why? Do tv's have a different form of sound??
👍👍👍😍
👍👍🙏
You blew it...why not try some more tunes
😭 I tried
I love it when the reviewer knows absolutely nothing about sound equipment...
I love it when the person commenting knows absolutely nothing about the difference between a review and impression... 🤭
