I am a professional home theater installer and I have installed many of these along with many other HEOS products. The HEOS link and the entire HEOS line is fantastic!!! If you have had any issues at all or written a bad review, I'm sorry to say that you probably just didn't understand the product or how it works. As I stated before, I have installed many of these and every single customer has absolutely loved it!!! The free app is very simple and works great! The only problem I have ever seen had to do with the network itself, the entire HEOS system runs on the network, so you need to make sure you have a good router. If your router is old, slow, or just not good... well then the HEOS system will not work properly. This is the poor networks fault, not HEOS. I highly, highly reccomed anything HEOS and I love installing it! It's easy to install, easy to use and sounds great! What's not to love!
I had been using and beta testing Sonos for years before recently switching everything over to Heos. The better sound quality was a big reason but add to that hi-res audio support, Bluetooth support and the battery option for the Heos 1 and it was an easy decision. It also integrates better with 3rd party automation systems like Control4 now that Sonos blocked UPNP support.
I purchased two HEOS LINKS and a Denon AVR-X4300H. The AVR-X4300H with HEOS replaces a Denon AVR-2312CI. One HEOS LINK is in the garage with the old AVR-2312CI, the other HEOS LINK is set up in the living room in a high-end Stereo system that was on a "technology island". I can now fill the house with the same music, including the AVR-X4300H driving Zone 2 on the Deck. The HEOS APP isn't the easiest to use, but now that I've mastered it, the ability to adjust volume and change inputs while siting on the deck enjoying a cocktail with my wife is nice. And when we have a house full of company, being able to play the same music throughout, including the garage with the Beer Fridge, is awesome... I do wish the HEOS LINK was black and not silver, it doesn't visually harmonize with the other black components in the living room. I should also note that it took several attempts to tie-in to the home WiFi with each HEOS LINK. An owner's manual isn't included, so you'll need to go online to diagnose issues and what each blinking LED color means. In regard to avoiding music not being synced, only online streaming works. I attempted to fill the house with music from a CD player and the HEOS LINK units were off by ~second.
Ok, lest skip over the HEOS software itself which could be improved. Let's talk about the link. Functionality wise, hardware wise, no issues so far. However, when adding it to an existing entertainment system, ESPECIALLY when it is a DENON receiver, why can't I have my link control the zone 2 of a DENON receiver the way an HEOS native multi zone receiver can! This is a big oversight or an intentional crippling of the device which is extremely unfortunate. IT ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO CONTROL ALL ZONES and show up in the app the way it does for an HEOS Receiver. Also, go ahead and add codes to other receivers as well so someone does not have to replace a recent av receiver but still be able to create an HEOS syste, with a Lin and other HEOS products.
The good - this thing can connect to almost anything. It's got connections for miles. it also has most of the music services. It would be great to have access to Google Music, but other than that it covers the bases well. The bad - the app is still buggy. It struggles with playing something that has been paused, or controlling after my phone has been dormant for a while. I almost always have to shut the app down and restart it to make it work again. It also does not like restarting most streams from a dormant state. If you were listening to something a few hours ago and simply want to restart play it usually doesn't work. The worst offense, however, is the lack of a sleep timer!
there is no reason that this unit should continue to automatically shut off after a few hours, or sometimes after an hour.... the tech support people have no ability to address this issue. very diappointing
Service has been down for over a month and have called numerous times to resolve the issues to no avail. Error is the same "Failed to Connect to the HEOS Server." Support not able to resolve the issue which makes the device all but a paperweight!
The app makes this product worthless. This is not very serious from Denon. Connection is lost before the song is finished, crashing all the time, must do setups all the time...this is just poor app development ... Even the navigation is poor, the "back" button is closing the app?? Read the app reviews before you buy this!!
I purchased several of the Heos Amps and Links to be a simple way to get music throughout my homes interior and patio. The App is so buggy and the devices are constantly lost or music erroneously stops playing. Resetting, starting over, etc., etc. I sure wish we went with Sonos - the reviews are better and the software gets required updates. I have so much Denon stuff in my home aerosol already I felt this was the way to go. Really frustrating - non-seamless stuff...
We have had signal issues on all the channels and the experience has been incredibly frustrating. We have had a tech out twice and it still does not work.
