The Denon Home 350 is a wired speaker designed for home use. You can add it to your Denon DHT-S716H soundbar and Denon DSW-H1 subwoofer if you want to create a 5.1 home theater setup. If you want to use it as a standalone speaker, it has a slightly boomy sound profile that you can tweak using its companion app's bass and treble sliders. It also gets pretty loud and offers fantastic voice assistant support with Alexa built-in. That said, it has extremely high Bluetooth latency on iOS and Android, which makes streaming videos a frustrating experience.
Our Verdict
The Denon Home 350 is good for music. It has a slightly boomy sound profile that's well-suited for most audio genres. If you prefer a different sound, the companion app offers bass and treble sliders. However, while it can play stereo content, its soundstage isn't very wide, so it won't sound very immersive. It can also get pretty loud, but there are some compression artifacts at max volume. That said, you can play lossless audio from multiple platforms like Roon, Tidal, and Spotify.
- Bass and treble sliders available.
- Can get very loud.
Lossless streaming with compatible platforms.
- Narrow directivity.
The Denon Home 350 is okay for videos and movies. It has a slightly boomy sound profile, which can help bring out the intensity of sound effects in action-packed scenes. You can also connect it to your compatible Denon soundbar to create a more immersive home theater setup. However, while the bar can get loud, there are some compression artifacts at max volume. Its soundstage isn't very wide, either, so your audio may not sound as immersive.
- Bass and treble sliders available.
- Can get very loud.
- Very high audio latency via Bluetooth on iOS and Android.
- Narrow directivity.
The Denon Home 350 is fair for podcasts. Its slightly boomy sound profile has a neutral mid-range, so vocal-centric content, such as podcasts or audiobooks, sounds detailed and accurate. However, it has sub-par directivity, so your audio won't sound as clear from all directions. It also doesn't support multi-device pairing, so you can't connect it to your phone and computer simultaneously. On the upside, it supports multi-room, so you can link several units together to play different content across your home.
- Can get very loud.
- Narrow directivity.
The Denon Home 350 offers excellent voice assistant support with Alexa built-in. You can activate the assistant using your voice, and it can hear you from far away and in noisy environments. You can even mute the speaker's mic when you no longer want it to listen to you. Unfortunately, its directivity is disappointing, so you can't hear your assistant as clearly from all angles. Also, while you can control the speaker's audio via Google Assistant, this requires a third-party Google Assistant-enabled device.
- Can get very loud.
- Mic mute button.
- Narrow directivity.
The Denon Home 350 is a wired speaker and can't be used outdoors.

Popular Speaker Comparisons
The Denon Home 350 is a wired home speaker. In the same vein as the Bose Home Speaker 500 and the Sonos Five, it can be added to a pre-existing compatible Denon soundbar setup if you're looking for a more immersive audio experience. That said, on its own, it offers a slightly boomy sound profile that fans of EDM and action movies can enjoy. It also gets pretty loud and comes with Alexa built-in. It even has a USB port if you want to listen to audio from a flash drive. However, its extremely high Bluetooth latency on iOS and Android devices causes syncing issues between the audio you hear and the visuals you see when watching videos and movies.
Check out our recommendations for the best home speakers, the best Bluetooth speakers, and the best Bluetooth speakers for bass.
The Denon Home 350 is a slightly better speaker than the Sonos Five overall, though they perform similarly. The Denon can get louder with fewer compression artifacts, and it supports Bluetooth, although it has high iOS and Android latency. It also offers outstanding voice assistant support with Alexa built-in. However, the Sonos has a slightly better-balanced sound profile and it has a more immersive soundstage.
The Denon Home 350 and the Sonos Era 300 are both premium home speakers with unique strengths. Each supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, with built-in Alexa support for hands-free control. The Sonos has a better soundstage performance, with a wider and more immersive feel to its sound. It supports Dolby Atmos, too, so you can listen to Dolby Atmos Music or Dolby Atmos content with a paired soundbar. However, it doesn't reproduce quite as much low-bass as the Denon.
The Bose Home Speaker 500 is a better speaker for most uses than the Denon Home 350. The Bose has better controls, a more immersive soundstage and it has outstanding built-in Alexa and Google Assistant support. It also has lower iOS and Android latency via Bluetooth. However, the Denon can get louder and you can connect two units to create a stereo pair. It can also reproduce more low-bass, which some users may prefer.
The Denon Home 350 is better for home use than the Bowers & Wilkins Formation Wedge. Both are stylish wired-only speakers with sleek designs, though the Bowers & Wilkins will stand out more in your home decor. That said, it can't reproduce as much low-bass as the Denon and lacks built-in voice assistant support. Overall, the Denon is the more versatile choice.
