Abstract: Apple's taken its time to get the Apple HomePod speaker to market, and now it wants to take your money. £319 of it, to be precise. Can Apple's high-end smart speaker justify that kind of outlay when you can pick up Amazon Echo speakers for £75 today ? Let...
As you can see, most of the capabilities in terms of services and features are shared across both devices. They will respond to voice commands via Siri, stream music from a variety of services, and work with each other quite happily (unless you want to cr...
Abstract: The HomePod is Apple's smart speaker that's controlled using Siri and is designed primarily for high-quality music playback. It launched back in February 2018 with the promise of mutiroom and stereo playback in a future iOS update. That has now arrived an...
Sounds amazing wherever you put it, Simple setup, Seamless integration with Apple Music
No voice-driven radio playback, Siri isn't the best digital assistant, Voice playback limited to Apple Music
That doesn't mean the Apple HomePod is a terrible product. Far from it. It's a stunning example of how engineering and technology can be put to use in new and exciting ways, to improve the way small speakers sound, no matter where you put them.In fact, we...
Apple's $349 HomePod has excellent bass and consistently superior sound quality across a wide variety of music genres. The speaker is easy to set up and Siri can hear you from across a room
You're stuck with Apple-only audio services when using voice commands and the HomePod only works on iOS. Siri and HomeKit lack the polish and device compatibility of Alexa and Google Assistant
Apple's HomePod doesn't match the features offered on Alexa and Google Assistant speakers. But if you're an iPhone user who prizes sound quality above all, you should seriously consider this speaker...
Abstract: It makes sense, then, that the California-based tech giant looks set to have another crack at the HomePod. Although the original was highly portable, we reckon that Apple is ready to release a compact version of its home speaker system.For this reason, we...
Great design, incredible sound, easy to set up (when it works)
Siri needs some work, lack of third-party app support, can mark furniture, Rating:
The Apple HomePod is, undoubtedly, the best speaker we've ever owned; it looks great, sounds fantastic and it packs one hell of a punch for a 7in-tall device. However, it's not perfect. Siri still needs a lot of work to even come close to matching the adv...
Abstract: So before I get into the HomePod I will say that I brought this out of my own money. I wanted a smart speaker which worked better in the Apple Eco-system than the Amazon and Google alternatives. I've also had this from the release date, so I have been pla...
No radio, Made a mark on our worktop, No multi-room support, No multi-timer support, Only works with Apple Music, Siri sounds horrid
If we were grading the HomePod on its sound performance alone it would be a slam dunk. Apple has produced a small speaker that produces a sound way above its stature, in a way that is enjoyable to listen to whatever you music you're in to. It is a natural...
