Denon DHT-S716H Sound Bar Review

While the DHT-S716H does not offer 3D audio, it does include a distinct standout feature: HEOS, Denon’s high-resolution multi-room audio platform. The DHT-HEOS S716H’s compatibility allows you to play music or TV audio on other Denon HEOS-enabled speakers in your home.

You may also simply update the audio on the DHT-S716H to 3.1- or 5.1-channel sound by connecting it to other HEOS speakers, such as the DSW-1H subwoofer and/or (for example) a pair of HEOS 3 wireless bookshelf speakers. While the DHT-HEOS S716H’s compatibility gives you a lot of options, the HEOS speakers themselves aren’t inexpensive. Denon provided no DSW-1H or other wireless surround speakers for this evaluation.

Our Verdict

4.3

The sound bar’s built-in subwoofer gives it a strong low-end, and the surround sound emulation creates a more immersive listening experience. It’s also wireless, which makes it a great choice for apartments or small living rooms. The Denon DHT-S716 is a great choice and a good investment.

Pros

  • Rich, detailed, and surprisingly deep sound
  • HEOS high-res multi-room audio support
  • Four HDMI inputs rather than the usual one or two

Cons

  • HEOS mobile app can be confusing

It seems so, because the HEOS Bar also deals in Dolby TrueHD (but not Dolby Atmos) and DTS-HD Master Audio. The Denon DHT-S716 has a strong bass response and a clear, crisp high-end.
