A wireless-friendly receiver that's big on value

The ; is an excellent value, packing both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth at a midrange price. There are six HDMI inputs, plus a dedicated turntable input -- a rarity these days. Onboard streaming-audio support is extensive, including Pandora, Spotify, Rhapsody,...

There's no AirPlay, which competitors offer for less money. The TX-NR626's built-in Audyssey speaker calibration also delivered inconsistent results.

Onkyo's TX-NR626 is a value-packed AV receiver with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even a turntable input, but it's just short of being our top pick.

Onkyo TX-NR626 review

AV receivers are supposed to have inputs and outputs for everything, but manufacturers have been surprisingly slow to meet modern needs , especially when it comes to wireless audio streaming.

Onkyo TX-NR626 AV Receiver Reviewed

The Onkyo TX-NR626 AV receiver fell on Sean Killebrew to review. Killebrew tested out the TX-NR626 and came away from the review with a refreshing sentiment. It works. It just plain works.

It's really refreshing when something just plain works, especially when you're talking about cutting-edge home theater gear. Oftentimes, the more technologically advanced a product is, the more of a pain in the ass it is to configure. This receiver...

Onkyo TX-NR626

Good but not great – and that's not quite enough at this hugely competitive price for AV receivers

Smart, solid build ; Thorough spec ; Wi-fi and Bluetooth streaming ; Easy set-up ; Precise and controlled presentation ; Effective surround steering

Hard edge to certain frequencies ; No Apple AirPlay or Made for iPod support ; Lacks a layer of detail

Onkyo TX-NR626 review

Onkyo's success in the AVR market stems from its ability to hit the sweet spot between value and performance, and this 7.2-channel model looks to offer more of the same with a load of features and a nice price.

Powerful, well organised sound; extensive features; easy to use; built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

No AirPlay; hard edge to mids and highs; no Bluetooth button on remote

Absolute Junk

I have owned 6 Onkyo receivers over the years and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the quality has deteriorated to Chinese Walmart brand level.

Looks pretty

Garbage software
