Denon Home 150 NV Compact Wireless Speaker

Denon has just dropped the new **Home 150 NV**, a compact WLAN speaker that ditches the integrated microphones. For those who are wary of always-on mics in their devices, this might be a breath of fresh air. The Home 150 NV is geared up for multiroom setups with **HEOS Built-in**, allowing seamless integration with other compatible devices. It also supports **Apple AirPlay 2**, so streaming from your iPhone or iPad is a breeze. Under the hood, it's a mono speaker featuring two drivers: a **25mm tweeter** and an **89mm woofer**. If you're looking for stereo sound, you can link up two units to create a stereo pair. **Hi-Res audio** support is on board, catering to those who appreciate every detail in their music. Connectivity options are solid, with **3.5mm analog input** and **USB ports**, plus **Bluetooth** for wireless streaming. With **Wi-Fi** connectivity, you can tap into streaming services via the HEOS app, including Spotify, Amazon Music HD, Pandora, TIDAL, and more. Design-wise, the Home 150 NV brings a minimalist aesthetic that's reminiscent of Sonos speakers, available in both **black and white** finishes. The top panel features touch controls for volume, play, and pause, along with **three quick select buttons** to save your favorite internet radio stations. An added bonus is that the speaker is **Roon Ready**, which is great news for those who've invested in Roon's ecosystem for managing high-resolution music libraries. For network connectivity, there's an **Ethernet port** if you prefer a wired connection. Physically, the speaker measures **120 x 187 x 120 mm** and weighs about **1.7 kg**. It's compact enough to fit into most spaces without drawing too much attention. The Home 150 NV is essentially a sibling to the existing Home 150, with the key difference being the absence of microphones and voice assistant support. If you don't need features like Alexa or Google Assistant built-in, the NV variant is tailored for you. Price-wise, Denon lists the Home 150 NV at **199 euros**. However, it's worth noting that the original Home 150, which offers the same sound quality and includes microphones, can be found at some retailers for around **159 euros**, despite its official MSRP of **249 euros**. So, if you're eyeing a solid wireless speaker without the always-listening mics, the Denon Home 150 NV presents a compelling option, even if it doesn't come with a price cut compared to its predecessor.
