So who's buying this thing? $299 is chump change for quality stereo equipment. Now it's a good price at 50 bucks off. I think it's for grandma and grandpa no longer interested in soundstage and imaging, are on a fixed income and living in a smaller place...
(Image credit: Tom's Guide)There isn’t anything revolutionary about the HomePod (2nd generation), but as with most of Apple’s products, it’s a well thought out device. In terms of audio quality, it’s rivaled only by the Sonos One; I somewhat prefer the So...
Clear and detailed sound, Easy to set up and use, Supports Dolby Atmos, eARC, Pair two with an Apple TV 4K for a complete system,
Needs an iOS device for setup, No optional subwoofer, Limited maximum volume
Apple's attractive and intelligent HomePod speaker arrives just in time to ride the spatial audio wave. It's a technologically advanced, high-fidelity, hyper-smart speaker that transforms into a full-blown surround-sound system when you add a second one...
Abstract: The audio demo took place in a high-ceilinged room, part of a large loft space in Tribeca. It's a big room for Manhattan, but maybe not so big in suburban living room terms. What matters is the new HomePod plays nice and satisfyingly loud in a larger spac...

spatial and lossless audio, recycled material, improved Siri, AirPlay 2, can be made a stereo pair and used for Apple TV sound, good sound in big open spaces
sound quality highly dependent on room geometry, no native Spotify or BBC radio, needs Apple Music subscription to get best out of it, no Bluetooth streaming or linein, expensive, not crossplatform
The second-generation HomePod is one of the most inconsistent speakers I've tested. In large open-plan spaces it sounds great. But sit in the wrong place, such as directly facing a sofa that is positioned against a wall in a medium-sized living room, and...
Sounds superb, Siri is very responsive, Useful temperature and humidity sensors
Expensive, HomePods still can't play BBC radio natively
The Apple HomePod (2nd generation) is clearly a better smart speaker than the original. The hardware isn't much different, aside from its temperature and humidity sensors, but Apple's steady introduction of new features for its Home and Shortcuts apps mea...
(Image credit: Future)It's something of a surprise to find that the new HomePod is so similar in styling and design to its 2018 predecessor, but Apple has clearly decided to iterate on rather than reinvent that original which, let's remember, Apple starte...
Stunning audio,Works perfectly with Apple TV,Now a proficient home hub,
Bass can be a bit much, Requires other Apple products, Too tall to sit under your TV,
The second-generation HomePod provides jaw-dropping audio, whether listening to music or watching films through the Apple TV, and it only gets better with two of them. If you've already bought into the Apple ecosystem, this provides a premium experience a...
Abstract: The HomePod 2 is a surprising relaunch for Apple's smart speaker, because at first glance, it doesn't appear to offer much that's different to the original model. And after taking a much deeper glance (and listen), I can report that it does not, in fact...
Good, Looks good, Much more capable than the size suggests, Flawless connectivity with Apple devices, Works well as a speaker for your TV, Flexible, powerful sound
Expensive, Limited IoT capabilities for now
As far as smart speakers go, the Apple HomePod (2nd Gen) is undeniably expensive, and too specific in its functionality for many to even want to consider in India. However, if you have an iPhone and other Apple hardware such as the Apple TV 4K, the HomePo...
