Audiophiles detailed measurements and analysis or CR:s opinion. Google that out!
"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.
Hope you Enjoy The read."
I purchased the Sonos One when they went on sale a few weeks ago. I like it a lot. I was very happy with the sound, but I’m an unashamed Apple Fan and own everything Apple (except I didn’t have Apple Music) so I ordered one and activated Apple Music. The sound is very good, but not noticeably better than the One. I’m also frustrated that Siri has a lot of trouble hearing me unless I yell when playing not so loud music. I may send it back and wait for Airplay 2
HA HA HS HA HA HA HA. .... omg omg this report said nothing. “Uhhh we messed with the EQ in our own music room and and the bass was too high on the HomePod.”
