Consensus
our Verdict
Critics love the Denon Home 350, recommending it for music, podcasts, and voice assistant functions. Reviewers at What Hifi applauded its loud output, recording a 97.0 dB maximum SPL, although its 3.33 dB DRC indicates some sound deterioration. Testers from Forbes liked its near-neutral -0.07 frequency response slope, providing a balanced soundscape. Its boomy bass is ideal movies and music. Testing revealed a poor 6.13 dB directivity index and shallow soundstage, but it supports stereo. The Home 350 has built-in Alexa and connects via both Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay, although it’s not battery-powered. See our ION Pathfinder 280 review for a battery-powered speaker. It has an impressive 2 ms AirPlay latency, but the high 575 ms iOS Bluetooth latency and 499 ms Android latency disappointed editors. Check out the DOSS SoundBox Plus review for better latency. This Home 350 also lacks speakerphone functions and is not waterproof. Explore our Bushnell Wingman review for a waterproof speaker.
