Denon Home 150 NV Streaming Speaker, Black (Each)

The Denon Home 150 NV is a compact active streaming speaker with HEOS Built-in that comes without a microphone or voice assistant.

At Denon, NV stands for "No Voice": the same sound, the same technology as the regular Home 150 – just without the microphone array and without Alexa/Siri voice control. For anyone who wants to listen to music rather than talk to a speaker, that's not a compromise, it's exactly right.

Why the Home 150 NV?

Because it delivers serious sound in a very small footprint. Two built-in Class D amplifier channels drive a 25 mm tweeter and an 89 mm woofer in a housing that fits on any shelf, sideboard or nightstand. HEOS Built-in provides stable Wi-Fi streaming, and AirPlay 2 and Roon Ready round out the range of sources.

No microphone also means one less worry for anyone who fundamentally doesn't want an always-on microphone in the bedroom or office. It's still conveniently controlled via the HEOS app.

What you hear

A surprisingly full sound for its size, with clear voice reproduction and surprisingly weighty bass for a room-sized speaker. Two Home 150 NV units can also be paired via stereo pairing into a genuine stereo pair.

Who is the Home 150 NV suited to (and who isn't it for)?

Ideal for the kitchen, office, kids' room or bedroom – anywhere a microphone is unwelcome. Plain talk: if you want to use Alexa or Siri directly on the speaker, go for the regular Home 150 – the NV can't add that feature afterwards due to its design.

Our verdict

The Home 150 NV is the honest entry point into the Denon Home multiroom system: compact, sonically convincing, and without any unnecessary microphone debate. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we're happy to show you how it connects with other Denon Home devices into a multiroom system.

Goes well with

A second Home 150 NV completes the pair into a stereo setup, and a Denon Home Subwoofer brings more bass into play. For the full multiroom experience, it's worth taking a look at the Streaming Speakers category.
