Great sound and great value.
Really good sounding soundbar. Looks great with the fabric front. Feels really well built and the size is good too. It fits neatly in font if our TV and is HUGE step up from TV speaker with decent bass levels. Not only do movies and music sound better but itâs great for all the TV we watch. HDMI arc works seamlessly but weâve got it through an optical cable which is great too with no latency issues. The remote is responsive and simple to use. Nice to have Bluetooth functionality for music as well. Bargain!

Neat and tidy
I bought this soundbar to replace an old Sony amplifier feeding Dolby surround sound to five speakers. It is easy to set up and provides a neat alternative to speaker wires heading in all directions. With the built-in sub-woofers the soundbar gives a fuller sound range than the old set-up for which I never added a separate sub-woofer. The soundbar however gives a less obvious spread of sound to left and right.I had not researched the significance of Dolby Atmos and it seems that movies or music that provide this type of sound signal are not that freely available. As a result, I have only used it with 6.1 Dolby sound from DVDs. I do not have a Blue Ray player. Maybe in time Dolby Atmos will become more freely available on streamed services.Having said that, the sound output is good. The remote has settings for Movie, Music and Night. A major attraction for my wife and me is the Dialogue Enhancer. This can be set to Low, Medium or High. We certainly find that we are less often saying to each other, “What was that he said?” We are both 80-ish. Another plus is the facility for linking the soundbar with a TV using HDMI eARC/ARC. This makes the DVD/Soundbar/TV connection much easier. It also means that the TV remote will adjust the volume level on the Soundbar. There is also the option to connect to the soundbar via an Optical cable or via Bluetooth. There is a USB port but I think this is only usable for servicing, not for input.At an offer price of £160, this soundbar is good value and Denon has a good reputation.

Denon soundbar DHT-S218
Amazing sound even at low levels, movies, night and music presets.Low, med and high presets to fine tuning your listening.Hdmi, optical, Bluetooth and aux inputs.I connected my old phone by Bluetooth, instantly, on my other newer phone it needs a Denon app to work, search for the right one.The Pure sound is more neutral if you don’t want the bass.Also you can tweak the bass to your preference.No wifi on this unit so i don’t know whether it will work with other platforms.Exceptional product, i can’t believe it is only 40 watts, 2 tweeters, 2 midrange speakers, 2 built in (sub) woofers , oh yes you can add a sub if you want but I don’t think is needed.Arc, eArc work straightaway, CEC allows you to seamlessly control the volume from either the tv remote or from the Denon one, even switch on or off.Very very pleased with my purchase, high quality at this price.

Fantastic Soundbar. Good price for Dolby
Fantastic soundbar. Got at a good deal price of £159.00. Study with a bit of weight to it so looks and feels good quality. Itâs deep enough to put bits and bobs on or an ornament or Echo etc. This one had a lot of 5 & 4 star reviews. More than others I looked atâ¦..and I read hundreds of soundbar reviews before taking the plunge on this one.This is fantastic for non-techy people like me, as this literally came out the box as a plug & play. I connected up the HDMI(ARC) lead to the back of cute tv (mines a 85â Samsung TV), plugged it in, switched on the t.v and it all connected. The tv recognised the soundbar straight away. No QR codes, no apps just connected. Brilliant.The sound is brilliant. Youâve got to remember this is a soundbar and not a surround sound system. I didnât want speakers dotted everywhere with leads trailing etc. Too much of a faff. The sound from this soundbar really makes a huge difference and really enhances the poor quality of my tv internal speakers. No faffing about with tv volume in addition. On my old soundbar I had to turn tv volume down to zero and turn soo ever speaker up. Not with this one. It auto responds to our TV remote too. The only thing it doesnât now do is display 1-?? On the volume display on the tv, so Jo longer know what volume number itâs on. It just displays an up or down arrow when youâre adjusting the volume. Thus doesnât make any odds to me. I donât need to know what volume number Iâm on.Another advantage to this soundbar is that itâs Dolby. Brilliant sound clarity and the volume on thus can go way higher in volume than my tv speakers. I canât get the soundbar to its highest volume, itâs way too deafening. Weâre in a semi so not appropriate cuz of having neighbours joined.I now just turn our tv off and leave the soundbar on standby. This way the tv and soundbar come in together every time. It also holds the volume to the last position it was in when you switch it off. You have 3 different tones movie, night & music and adjustment of low, medium and high within each of these options, along with making the bass higher or lower. Iâm not that particular to sound quality at all, but this is so good. Terrific improvement to tv watching. I canât rate it highly enough. Came very well tested in good box with good packaging to protect in transit. Really love this. Highly recommend.

Great value – fantastic soundbar
Fantastic value as I bought it for £159.99 during the Spring Prime offer. This soundbar was really easy to set up – I just connected the HDMI cable to my Sony TV’s eARC socket and it worked right away. The sound is fantastic – I can hear every word now, instead of mumbling in TV dramas and films. The remote has a volume control, bass control and various presets like music and night. This soundbar is very good value if you wait for an offer.
