Denon has been quiet in the Home speaker market for a few years, but the brand has just returned with a completely new lineup, and every model now supports Dolby Atmos.
The new range includes three speakers, which are Home 200, Home 400, and Home 600. These don’t fully replace the older models, though. The Home 150, Home 250, and Home 350 are still in the market; they are just repositioned under a separate category called Home 1.0.
Both the Home 1.0 and Home 2.0 speakers work through the same app. That’s a deliberate choice, and a good one. Some brands lock older products out of their newer software ecosystem once they launch updated hardware. That is exactly what Sonos is doing.
All speakers, old and new, are integrated into the Denon HEOS platform, so you can stream music to any of them together. The one limitation is that you can’t stereo pair a speaker from one generation with one from the other.

You can, however, pair any of these speakers with the Denon Home 550 Soundbar to build a proper surround setup.
The Home 600 takes things a step further on its own. It splits the audio into left and right channels internally, which gives you the effect of two separate rear speakers from a single unit.
Denon Home 2.0 Series Prices
Here’s what each new model will cost you: Home 200 costs $399, Home 400 is $599, while Home 600 costs $799
Given that the Home 1.0 series launched about seven years ago, these prices are still reasonable. Denon hasn’t gone too far above what the older models cost.
The Home 400 and Home 600 match the US prices of the Home 250 and Home 350, respectively, so existing Denon customers won’t feel too much of a sting there.

The Home 200 is where the increase is most noticeable, jumping from $219 to $299. That said, it’s not a straight swap. The Home 200 brings virtual Dolby Atmos support to the table, which the older model didn’t have, so the higher price does come with something extra.
Denon Home 2.0 Series Designs and Sound Quality
Across the new lineup, Denon has kept the design consistent. You get two color options, Stone or Charcoal, and the physical controls sit either on the side or the top, depending on which model you pick. Connectivity covers the basics well, which are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB-C audio, and a standard aux-in port.
The HEOS app ties everything together. Through it, you can connect up to 64 HEOS-compatible products, including AV receivers and mini systems, spread across up to 32 separate zones in your home.
If you want high-resolution audio, the app supports Tidal, Amazon Music, and Qobuz. For Spotify users, Spotify Connect is also on board.

We got to hear these speakers in person, and they impressed. The sound leans warm and full, with good bass and a wide soundstage. The Dolby Atmos performance on the Home 600 stood out in particular; the audio spread noticeably high, producing a sound much larger than the physical size of the speaker suggests.
Competition in this space is heating up. Sonos has new speakers coming in 2026, and Bluesound continues to add to its lineup.
Whether the Denon Home 2.0 series holds its ground against that competition is a fair question. What’s clear is that Denon has come back with a focused, well-priced range that takes the original Home series to a new level.
If you want to judge for yourself, the speakers are available now through Denon directly and authorised retailers.
