The rendition of voice is beautiful. The mids and highs have the character of being sung live. Voices are not just precise and separated from other instruments, but you can hear them resonate right from the speaker. My young daughter literally went to check who's inside.
It is only unfortunate that the bass is all too pervasive (for classical audiophiles like me). Is this good for pop? Check. Electronic? Check. Rock & metal? Sure. Jazz - mostly yes. But definitely not for classical music. The bass problem is deep. In Una Furtiva Lacrima, Luciano Pavarotti is at times inaudible while being accompanied by a mere harp. Basically any piece with as much as a chello will be dominated by the bass.
Further, string instruments lack softness and roundness. Piano sounds lovely, precise and lively. In mid and high tones the instrument separation is superb. It's just such a pity that the otherwise soothing bass overpowers everything else.
The speaker has serious connectivity issues. It worked on AirPlay once and then never again. Plays hide and seek on bluetooth. Requires a bluetooth reset every time it's supposed to be connected. For me, that involves bending down and finding a small button at the back. Not seamless operation at all.

Absolutely horrible software. Doesn't connect via Bluetooth or WiFi except intermittently. Save your money and avoid this piece of garbage. The sound is very nice but if you can't play it then who cares???
- Red light blinks red after reboot and reset.
- Doesn't connect with Bluetooth OR wifi.
- Submitted support request in the "Heos" app and got a server error.
What kind of garbage is this???
Update: I have been trying to call the support line during the time that the website says that the support line is open, and the support line says it is closed. Not happy with this expensive paper weight.

Terrible **Terrible** software and connectivity

***Updating to two stars from the original 1-star. Denon shipped me a new one after lots of hassle and plenty of additional troubleshooting steps. Their software should provide more descriptive errors at this price point.***By Leonard D Nelson on October 20, 2020
