    • Decent soundstage, excellent dialog enhancement...
Style: Home Theater Soundbar
If you've followed any of my other soundbar reviews, you'll already know, but to put the story in a nutshell, I have over 30 years of home surround sound experience, and have been on a quest of sorts for the best stand alone (no separate subwoofer) soundbar in the $200-300 price range. The S216 is the fourth soundbar I've tried (the others include the Sony HTX8500, Yamaha 1080 and one by Polk Audio), so I'll be directly comparing this one to the other three. As I've stated in other reviews, you're never going to get true surround from a stand alone soundbar, but, if the electronics and design are good enough, you will find that a good soundbar will draw you even farther into a film without drawing your attention to the soundbar itself. The good: The S216 does a pretty good job of creating a decent size soundstage as long as you are within about 7-8 feet of the soundbar. When compared with the Sony and Yamaha, the Denon comes up about even when using a Dolby encoded movie. The soundstage for Midway (2019) is better than the Yamaha, but comes up a little short of the Sony, which is somewhat expected since the 8500 includes Dolby Atmos. That said, the Denon, by virtue of having far more adjustability to the bass level than the Sony, provides a better experience. Turning to Independence Day, which has a DTS encoded soundtrack - this is where the Denon really comes into its own. The soundstage really opened up and drew me into the whole experience. If there is a drawback, it's the same as both the Sony and Polk Audio soundbars, they can all be overwhelmed with even slightly too much bass added in. This was where the Yamaha outshined all three of the other competitors. The Denon has one place where it beats the others hands-down, and that's in Dialog Enhancement. The S216 has three different settings for this feature, and I seldom found use to go any higher than Medium - Denon has clearly done their homework in this area, and to date, is the way in the lead amongst the other soundbars I've bought. The not so good: Bass from the S16 could certainly be better. Although it does better than the 8500 due to more adjustability, and beats the Polk Audio hands-down, it comes up really short of Yamaha's 1080. I suspect that this is because the 1080 uses larger, down firing built in subwoofers, and likely with a bit more power driving them. The bad: I can't really call it bad, but the Dolby performance was somewhat disappointing. This is the only area where Sony's 8500 was the clear winner, and with so many 4K discs being encoded in Dolby Atmos, it may be its biggest downfall. Still, the far superior Dialog Enhancement found on the Denon goes a long way to making up for this. The ugly: I don't plan on using this soundbar for music playback, but am rating it for others in that respect so they can get an idea of this bar is what they are looking for. The S216, despite being made by one of the best audio manufacturers, comes up really short in music reproduction. The high end is far too restrained, no matter what settings are used, and the soundstage shrunk significantly from when it was put through its paces for movies. If you're looking for a multi-purpose soundbar, the Yamaha is clearly the better choice, although the 1080 has a huge drawback of its own in that it does not passthrough Dolby Vision. Positives: + Outstanding dialog enhancement + Good soundstage (excellent with DTS) + HDR10 and Dolby Vision passthrough + Great adjustability for bass levels Negatives: - Smaller soundstage than 8500 on more common Dolby Atmos discs - Not so great at music reproduction - Best surround effect is with soundbar 8 feet or closer All in all, the Denon is an excellent soundbar in its price range. Even with its limitations with Dolby encoded films, I'm using it over the Sony 8500 because of the Denon's vastly superior Dialog Enhancement and more adjustability for bass level. There may be one more review yet to come, as I'm considering trying the newer Sony 3.1 Dolby Atmos capable soundbar to see if it will offer the superior Dolby Atmos experience of the 8500, yet have Dialog Enhancement as good as that found on the S216. For now, the Denon will be my soundbar though. Thanks for reading and happy viewing! ... show more

    • Quality Sound/A+++
Style: Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer
Review Image by HappyWife
The Denon Home Theater Sound system has sharp and quality sound. I’ve been testing it out for a few weeks so far. I’ve compared it with my Bose speakers and I’m impressed. It arrived with all the equipment needed and was very easy to install. I have a Samsung tv and the speakers make a world of a difference. I feel like I’m in my own little bubble with great sound. I also appreciate that it is Bluetooth and I can connect it to my cellphone’s Pandora music app. Jam all day without having to turn on the tv. I find I don’t use my Bose speaker since I’ve installed this. I would recommend to anyone. Pic for reference. **If this review was helpful, please take a (literal) second and press the button below to let Amazon know. Thank you!** ... show more

    • It’s just “ok”.
Style: Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer
I use this in my office as a stand alone Bluetooth speaker. It breaks my heart to give this a negative review since I’m a real fan of Denon. Let me be clear, it doesn’t suck at all but it really failed to meet my expectations. The mid range is very weak. The bass is muddy. This may do well as a sound bar for a TV but as a stand alone stereo it’s coming up short. I monkeyed around with the EQ settings on my iPhone and concluded that “Latin” was the best setting. Another beef I have is that there is no technical data that I could find on this outfit. As an audiophile all I need to see is frequency respond, THD and DB sensitivity and I’ll know if the speaker will perform. This data was not listed on any sites that I explored. To sum it up, I’m disappointed but not deeply so. I have high expectations for Denon and I feel as though they punted on this one. I would have gladly paid another hundred bucks for a truly amazing outfit. Denon, do better. Don’t participate in the low end market space. Stick with serious quality. Folks are willing to pay for it. ... show more

    • Great product in a small package!
Style: Home Theater Soundbar
Great looking and will go great with your set up. This is the best sound for money sound bar with out subwoofer. You get plenty of bass, vocas are clear, and nice full sound. A very quality build and good remote control. Turn it up as high as you want, doesn't distort sound or quality drop off. Bought this because, didn't want a sound bar that needed a subwoofer and has excellent sound. I was not disappointed. Another great thing is if you ever wanted a extra sub, there is a port to connect one to. Has all the good inputs on the back. It doesn't have a app, but you really don't need one. Remote dose a good job. It has colored dots to let you know volume and what sound stage is on. I highly recommend this, you might find cheaper, but won't sound better. !!👍😁 ... show more

    • Disappointing clarity, sub volume, ARC delay
Style: Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer
Clarity of dialog even with enhancer on high is low. Using ARC, getting the system to turn on when TV turns on... takes 15+ seconds. Subwoofer even when turned on max, is less than impactful. Display is nothing but dots -- which depending on the color and number of dots, will tell you what mode it is in -- not intuitive in any way. I expected a lot more for the dollar from Denon. ... show more

    • Denon does ‘it’ with this Soundbar of exceptional value!
Style: Home Theater Soundbar
I was able to replace my 100watt/ch Denon amp w a high end DEF surround sound speaker system w this soundbar! Of course the subwoofer I plugged in adjacent w the soundbar enhanced the reality of ‘being there’ in exciting movie scenes. One of the first movies I watched was Super 8. The sound from the scene w the train crash was incredible! My windows and adjacent pottery was shaking w each explosion and crash! But yet the voice of each character came through crisp and clear! I don’t think a $900 Bose could beat it for quality of sound ! Not that I’m bragging! Lol! Way to go Denon! A real winner of a soundbar from this satisfied user! ... show more
