Default HomePod gets a thumbs up



Disclaimer: Not mine and I’m no audiophile.

Not in a rush to buy one but this thing sounds incredible, wherever you put it. Under the TV to the centre of a room it was better than expected often a lot better.

I don’t see a problem. Don’t buy it.

It's smaller than you think. It moves a lot of air for it's size, freaky really.

Fair play Sonos https://9to5mac.com/2018/02/09/sonos-homepod-playlist/ thankfully Apple hasn't stormed into the market full bore, they'll be fine I'm sure.

Blimey. Makes it seem cheap.

"Tl;Dr:

I am speechless. The HomePod actually sounds better than the KEF X300A. If you’re new to the Audiophile world, KEF is a very well respected and much loved speaker company. I actually deleted my very first measurements and re-checked everything because they were so good, I thought I’d made an error. Apple has managed to extract peak performance from a pint sized speaker, a feat that deserves a standing ovation. The HomePod is 100% an Audiophile grade Speaker."
