  • The HomePod 2... It's probably the best sounding 'smart' speaker I've ever used and if you're an iPhone user, or you just use a ton of Apple products, you might want to look into the HomePod. I've been testing out the speaker for a little over 10 days and color me impressed. As someone who uses two HomePod minis in a stereo pair, those two sound great, but the HomePod on its own sounds way better filling an entire room with the right amount of bass and clarity. Unfortunately, playing songs off Spotify isn't as straightforward as playing music off of Apple Music, but at least now, it's doable thanks to iOS17.

    I absolutely LOVE my 2nd gen HomePod. Have 2 in stereo pair and they sound phenomenal, ESPECIALLY when I’m watching movies or tv. Like, the Spatial Audio effect, I can feel every BOOM, base, crash all of it when watching tv/movies or listening to music. I truly believe the HomePod is the most slept on accessory in the Apple ecosystem

      Hundred percent! I wasn’t a huge believer until I used these and they’re amazing.

    Having two of those for a stereo home theater setup totally surprised me. It’s a pretty great set and it has all the iPhone tap features and all that!

    I have to agree with this review! the evolution of each update wish APPLE had more technical public notes! but TV/ movies etc sound so much better!!! that enhanced dialogue mode is a GAME CHANGER!!!! also the sounds are great for a 2 speaker system! yes I miss having a dedicated subwoofer! if only APPLE released an update that can give us 2 additional home pods that act as rear speakers!!!!! that would be epic

      Your TV must support eARC via HDMI. You’ll also need an Apple TV 4K

      A regular ARC will do. Plug the Apple TV on HDMI ARC and PS5 on the regular hdmi on your tv.

    But they are much less meaty in the bass, very disappointing, and Dolby Atmos tracks sound weird as hell

    • @HeyMarkL
      @HeyMarkL  Před 6 měsíci

      Huh... I didn't find that to be the case for me. Bass was more than enough, anything more would've been too much for me. I've tried placing these HomePods in a bunch of different locations around the house, and the best sound comes from when the HomePod has a wall behind it. Maybe try placing em at different places around your place and see what sounds best.

    why would you use Spotify 🤦🏻‍♂ I mean it has to be the worse music streaming service out there it sounds shocking bad compared to Apple Music and the ui just sucks I mean what is it trying to be a book subscription or a podcast subscription or a music subscription if you where going to have a music subscription you would go for tidal hi res which as from April is the same price as Spotify but I still think Apple Music gives you more money for you buck
