Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this! Sound is fantastic. Much better sound than the other brands.

Great sound. Works well with Echo Dot. Great base.

Disappointed due to the continuous issues this item is having.... started out very good and was impressed with the sound quality, now when it works and doesn't over heat. Very upset that this unit is going to probably going to be returned after Christmas....

This the best sounding sound bar I have by far. I own 4 sound bars

I have to say I was completely overwhelmed when I first went into the store. I had purchased two other less expensive sound bars that just really did not meet my expectations. It really did come down to the old "you get what you pay for" saying. I would have never ended up with the Denon if it was not for the amazing staff. They really knew their stuff and were able to first trouble shoot my previous failed experiences with Bluetooth and sound quality of the lesser expensive models, and then direct me to the proper options for my needs. Several of the options were just too expensive. I'm referring to the Sono and Samsung models which for the price are amazing whole house options that in the future I could see myself buying. Another model I had considered was the Sony HTCT770, but prior experiences with Sony had me hesitant. Once knocking those options out of the way we settled on two. The Denon DHTS514 and the Energy CS-30. For the price of only $50 more than the Sony I could not go wrong. After an hour or so of going back and forth to listen to both I ended up with the Denon. I'm extremely happy with the Denon DHTS514. It absolutely brought the house down this morning, and I have only been able to listen to music thus far which was more important to my wife and I than movies. However, this morning when I left the house my wife was already talking about all the movies she was looking forward to watching on this. I'm not much of an informed audio guy but WOW! The mids and highs are absolutely spot on and crystal clear! The lows are tight and punchy. In the store I liked the bass of the Energy slightly better being more of a hip hop guy, but to be honest the Denon in my living room has out performed what I heard from the Energy at the store. Now that might only mean that the Energy would have sounded even better too but the next thing on my list were the mids and highs. The store associate, as well as myself felt the Denon was just a little more crisp on the mids and highs than the Energy. That as well as the stellar name recognition was what sold me on the Denon. I did really like the Energy but just was not familiar with the company. Having said all that I'm sure based on the knowledge of the store associate I was dealing with that the Energy would have been just as top shelf as I feel my new Denon DHTS514 is. Thank you so much for providing amazing products to the public. This was my first really important purchase with Best Buy and based on this experience I will definitely be coming back.

not sure it's working right. static sound coming from right side of sound bar

Awesome sound, very easy install - blown away from these LOL.

I was searching for a great soundbar that added "surround sound" like quality without the need for rear speakers. I understand that it isn't possible to get a true surround experience without additional speakers, but the virtual surround with this sound bar is impressive. It was everything we hoped for an more. I definitely would recommend.

Easy to install and easy to use. I recommend it for God sound

Great sound bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great sound and got it for an even greater price, very happy

Great audio, great bass, great volume and easy to connect.

I like this product sound like am in the movie theater

great sound quality. makes me feel like I'm in a theater.

Great sound and easy installation with the sound bar.

Excellent sound at an affordable price easy set up

I wanted to trade up from the typical cheaper bars and we got the Denon. It is louder and crisper, but voices are not clear on tv as I'd expect. We returned this for a $200 Yamaha which we think is even better.

Maybe I got the one bad one??? First night, everything worked. Second night, sub would not connect. Followed all instructions, factory reset and still could not get the sub to pair up again. Took unit back and bought the more expensive Def Tec unit (much higher price). After setting up the DT system I was stunned at the difference in sound quality, the Denon sounded really bad when compared to the DT system. So happy that the Denon unit was a lemon because it resulted in purchasing a much better sound bar!

We purchased this to provide adequate audio for a TV that had side mounted speakers which were virtually inaudible. This unit solved the problem and in general works flawlessly. Occasionally the muting function fails, but resets by turning the bar off then back on.

Was incredibly happy with my purchase. For a soundbar and bass option this has very full sound and is wonderful to use. The bass itself is great for the system and price. Overall a good go to if you want the simplicity and ease of use of a sound bar/bass combo with a sound close to a more complex setup.
