Denon HEOS 5 HS2 vs KEF LS50

Instead of simply taking any audio through the 3.5mm port, you need to specifically select the aux input in the Heos app and play local music through that app, since there are no source buttons on the unit itself. Thanks to the speakers' direct integration into many popular music apps, it made a wired connection less useful than a Wi-Fi connection. A Bluetooth option would have been a much better alternative

I'M on the description, patreon link in the description which the patreon will help send these to that guy before his birthday probably to day, and th...

My highest recommendation. The HEOSV1 (Version 1) had WiFi glitches. The V2 doesn't.

I love the wireless convenience of the HEOS AVR and HEOS 1 with controlling everything over the app.

Do it later, connect it's easy and the sound is out of this world. You'Ll love it it's the heõs 5 by Denon, and if you like, music at all you'll love ...

If we give the ls50 meta more in amplifiers and source quality, because, let's not forget, the hegel also has an excellent streamer and dac inside. So...

The HEOS 5 speaker has surprising bass and is sonically pleasing. That said, The Heos application is problimatical. I cannot play my music on an SD card in my Fire Tablet. I fear that this may be intentionally done by Demon to steer users to online subscriptions

The second thing yeah, I didn't notice slightly lower base depth, but I was surprised that was actually not a big difference as the size between these...

The app is not horrible but I'm sure could (and will) get better. I could see the frustration with the pairing process, it took me several attempts before pairing was successful.

FYI, the midrange issue might be due to the Cambridge CXA amp, which has a reserved sound from reviews.

HEOS should have option to set only connect to 5GHz network and not 2.4 GHz, which I believe should technically fixed the issue.

I’m gna say that I know very little about speakers and sound but after much research- I have bought myself the Kef ls50 wireless version 1 and are awaiting speaker stands today- currently they are on the floor. Anyway- I listen to a lot of EDM and house music- but I’m finding the bass very “tight”, very “short”, almost “tappy” it doesn’t sound like the same bass on my AirPods or previous speakers.

Great value compare to the wireless competitors and a room filling sound. App is now great, no issues there. I'm excited for the coming alexa integration.

I typically prefer them to three-way designs and towers in almost every situation, but i did want to see if the ls50 meta would fare any differently, ...

I am a whole home Heos user and could not be more pleased with the Heos 5. The speaker had an excellent flow and design which is very important to me. Secondly, the sound output is outstanding. I researched wireless whole home systems and am very pleased I chose Heos rather than that other "###os"

I eventually looked at my space and realized that if I moved my sofa up by 2 feet I would miss the door way and could place my surrounds on the walls in the proper place and I also could get rid of the shitty Samsung RUGarbageTV I had and get a 65” OLED and get the same field of view.
