The new Apple HomePod gen 2 really surprised me with it's impressive sound performance. Once you add a second speaker in stereo mode, things get even better! • Follow me on social media! (it's always just @mikeobrienn) • Instagram: / mikeobrienn • Twitter: / mikeobrienn • TikTok: / mikeobrienn • About me: https://mikeobrienmedia.com • I am an avid smart speaker user. I had a nest mini and then full size Echo but it kept trying to upsell me junk, then I switched to a Bose Portable Smart Speaker but the assistant was too slow on that, and now I am going all in on the Apple HomePod • ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES: • INTRO: • $299 • I love how Apple keeps the names simple • Two colors • Recycled mesh fabric - no impact to audio • This can genuinely blend into your home design • Temperature and humidity sensor built in • Can use as stereo pair • Gentle confirmation tone is not obtrusive • • SOUND • Room filling • Plenty of warm, rich, and true bass • Clean and natural sound • Not overpowering and not weak • 5 beam forming tweeters on the bottom, pointing up to avoid table reflections • Computational audio - presents focal points in a song, such as lead vocals, to the middle of the room, and ambient sounds against the walls • Uses feedback from internal mics to calibrate for your room’s acoustics • One of the things I look for in a good speaker is the balance at different volumes. Sometimes with lower quality speakers, I find myself turning it way up just so I can actually hear the bassline or vocals. The HomePod sounds great at any volume. Plenty of bass at 20% volume, but if you turn it to 100%, you can really jam with this. It’ll shake your couch • Spatial audio • Stereo pairing • They just sound so much bigger than they are. They have this way of making the sound very immersive and move up walls and all around you • MEDIA • You can use this with an AppleTV • Ask Siri to play • Handoff from iPhone • FEATURES • Can listen for smoke alarms • Can tell you the temperature • Can control smart home devices • Can take phone calls • Intercom (including phone) • Can auto pause when you leave a room • Find My - friends and family • Easy to add automations based on arrival/departure, time, sensors, etc • E.g. close shades when temperature is too high on sunny side of house • • DRAWBACKS: • No Siri Spotify support, but you can play Spotify on here • You need to have an iPhone to set it up • More expensive than Amazon • No Bluetooth • • Please comment below with any questions you might have.
