WHAT MAKES HEOS SPEAKERS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER WIRELESS SPEAKERS?
HEOS is a true multi-room system. You can play the same song in every room or any combination of rooms you choose, including a different song in every room. These are distinct advantages over other wireless systems such as Airplay and Bluetooth. HEOS uses standard home wireless technology so you can use your existing router without the need for any new equipment such as a bridging device. The wireless range and sound quality is far superior to Bluetooth and any device on your network running the free HEOS app can control every speaker. Only HEOS comes with 100 years of audio expertise from Denon. More
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 4 HEOS SPEAKERS?

The HEOS 1, because of its humidity resistance, is perfect for listening in damp or steamy environments, such as a bathroom. If you add the HEOS 1 Go Pack, you can even take your speaker to the park. More

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tiana from Amazing Sound !! I was really excited when my Heos speaker arrived. The speaker is a nice size but not so big that it would take up too much space. The speaker can also be placed both horizontally or vertically . The set up was pretty simple though I did have some minor issues with the App where I had to delete and re-download it. It took several minutes for the whole process but it was definitely worth it. The sound quality was amazing. Very crisp quality. My first thought was this would be perfect for a party. I also liked the fact that I could control the speaker from my phone from changing songs to the volume. This speaker is amazing and I would recommend it .

Rated 1 out of 5 by ABQ_Patrick from Unreliable system Had a full HEOS system (AVR-X4300H, HEOS-3 speakers, and HEOS Link) installed by Best Buy Geek Squad. Plenty of trouble on installation and setup including multiple attempts to load receiver software. Now, HEOS-3 speakers refuse to group with AVR and each other, and will play media sometimes but not all. Unplayable media includes CD, radio, internet streaming, iPhone content. Enormously frustrating experience. I'm about ready to return all equipment. However, when it works, the sound is fabulous. But this equipment should work out of the box and have high reliability.

Rated 5 out of 5 by brooklynfoo from Powerful sound from a relatively small unit This is a good speaker. Requires a few minutes of setup to connect to your device, but works fine once connected. I think it could benefit from an on/off button for those who dont want it left on permanently. Also, I understand that its a powerful unit so I see why its not battery powered, though it would be amazing if it had a battery pack to take on the go as an option as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jennykat77 from Amazing Sound and Unique Design We are loving our HEOS 3 speaker. Has a unique design that can work horizontally or vertically. This is the smallest of the HEOS speakers, and it works wonderfully for amazing sound in 1 room, and with the way my floorplan is I can listen 3 rooms over. I have my speaker in my kitchen, and has excellent bass response for it's size. The App is also user friendly, and works well with other music services apps. The App was so easy to set up.I am also impressed by the list of service apps that work with this speaker. If you are looking for a great home speaker for one room or multiple rooms then look no further. This is a great find, and we are really pleased with it. I love the way it looks in my kitchen. The design of it allows for several different display options.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Randy D from Software Flaws Prevent a 5 Star Review The actual hardware, the speakers are great. The software which runs the system needs some improvement. Speakers will randomly disconnect and stop. Usually you have to unplug them and get it back going, and then restart your source; about a 4-5 minute fix. Maybe they need completely new software people because this review page randomly refreshes and I lose what I have written. It took 3 times just to get this in.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Young768 from Great Sound! I love my Heos system and I am really happy to see how Denon is expanding the echo system. The 3 is a great speaker for smaller rooms with excellent sound quality. Step up to the five for anything larger than an average bedroom. The Heos app is not bad, but it good use some design improvements to make the whole experience perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Caitlin727 from Surprising sound quality for its size. Both the Android and Apple apps were easy to set up and use. It's compatible with a personal music collection as well as streaming music apps such as Pandora and iHeart Radio, which are built right into the HEOS app. The speaker has a built-in USB port that enables you to play even more of your music collection than you have stored on your phone. The speaker can be heard in other rooms in an average size house. Additionally, it has separate bass and treble adjustments to tailor the sound to the type of music you are listening to. A nice improvement would be a pause feature instead of the mute button that is located directly on the speaker so that you do not miss any music when forced to interrupt play. I was unable to connect to a hidden network after setting it up because I could not find the option to type in a network name (SSID) manually; it only brings up the ones it can find, not hidden networks. Outside of this minor issue, the app is quite user friendly, and I am extremely satisfied with the performance and quality of this speaker!!

HEOS 3 Reviews - page 2

If connected via bluetooth can I still play sound from two speakers at the same time?  Or is this only possible when connected via wifi?

Asked by: rfv22

Your Bluetooth device most likely can only stream to one device at a time. In order to play a single Bluetooth stream on multiple speakers, they would have to be connected to the network ,and grouped together using the HEOS app.

Which HEOS speakers will work best as surrounds with the HEOS AVR?

Asked by: RIcky

Hi Ricky. The great thing is that you can use a pair of any HEOS speaker (both must be the same model) as your surround channels with the HEOS AVR. The bigger the speaker, the bigger the sound. The HEOS 3 is a great choice for this purpose as it has a nice balanced sound and stands vertical to fit comfortably where most standard satellite speakers would fit. Either way, when you set it up there will be an option to be "Optimized for HEOS AVR" which will take the guess work out of the equation and set the speakers up to sound the best in a surround configuration with the HEOS AVR. Thanks!

My light flashes green but never goes solid.How do I get past this?

Asked by: Janet

Hello Janet I am sorry your facing this issue. If your router has a WPS button you could press that then the Connect button on your speaker 3 times in a row within 2 seconds of each press. Another option would be to connect your speaker directly to the router then go into the settings menu in the HEOS app and then go to My Devices, then Your speaker, then change from Wired to your Wifi network.

Do we get stands for speakers? Or do we have option to purchase stands for speakers?

Asked by: Adis

Hi Adis. We don't make or sell stands for HEOS speakers, but you can use a 3rd party stand if you would like to. There is also a threaded mounting hole on the back of the HEOS 3 which is compatible with most speaker mounts. Thank you.

What is the maximum range between speakers ? And wall thickness?

Asked by: Alan

Hi Alan. Because these speakers rely entirely on your existing network infrastructure, there is no limit to the distance between the speakers. As long as all the speakers have a good connection to your network they should function properly. How well they work in various size homes with varying construction materials and wall thickness, depends on the network equipment being used. You may need to use wireless extenders or access points if WiFi signal does not penetrate the walls in your home. Thank you!
