Denon DHT-S516H soundbar review: Expansive stereo sonics

 

An accomplished soundbar-and-sub combo, able to deliver an expansive front presence with width and depth. But there are more affordable competitors.

Expansive sonic delivery ; Impressive Heos multi-room app ; Works with smart assistants ; Can be expanded to 5.1 ; Good set of connections

Limited to lossy audio ; No remote control ; Expensive considering spec

Classy looks combine with accomplished sound, and this setup benefits from the highly effective Heos multi-room app. However, at this price point, support for Dolby Atmos object-based sound would be expected, putting the Denon at a disadvantage to...

Denon DHT-S516H soundbar

 

The Denon DHT-S516H ticks a lot of boxes on paper, but how does it perform in real life?

Denon soundbar supreme!

 

It's brilliant sound for a one speaker delivery. Not quite plug and play, but online instructions very good. It's wide at approx 100cm, but I think that helps delivery around the room. Sub woofer adds to the quality, but the best thing is the voice...

Great sound!

 

I have been wanting a sound bar for a while now, so I popped into RicherSounds, as I was passing, I asked for something in my price range and they came up trumps with the Denon, the sound is amazing, even the other half was impressed, now that's hard...

Great Sound

 

Amazing bass. Works seamlessly with the HEOS app. Love that it has a “Dialogue Enhancer“ and that you can put it on “ Night Mode” which lessons the base so not to annoy neighbours. They were also very helpful in store.

Brilliant Denon quality

 

I bought this recently to use not just as a TV soundbar, but also to replace my long cherished Hi Fi system, because I now listen to far more music on streaming services than on CD's. Music sound quality was my prime driver and the Denon sounds...

Great sound quality

 

I bought this a couple of weeks ago to replace a Sony soundbar for my Sony TV. Was looking at the Denon and Sony, spoke to my local Richer Sounds branch (Reading) and after discussing the differences, decided on the Denon. Excellent service delivered...

Amazing for films and music

 

Had this a couple of weeks now and absolutely love it. The base on this through the subwoofer is unreal. Really makes a huge difference to our experience watching both films and streaming Spotify through it. It doesn't come with a remote but the app is...

Excellent service

 

Purchased a Denon sound bar and Sennheiser headphones on the recommendation of Richer Sounds. Very happy with both items and the advice I was given.

Great sound bar with outstanding performance.

 

I purchased this sound bar a little over two weeks ago and now the overall quality of sound from the Samsung TV I have is as near perfection as you can get. With the TV speakers off and just using the sound bar has transformed everything from just...
