See Apple's HomePod take on the competition in our ultimate smart speaker sound comparison...
I still have and used a Harmon Kardon sound stick system purchased back in ‘03.
The point is that the HK cost about $200 more than the HomePod, and while I’ve never been disappointed with the HK I won’t be using it anymore.

Reminder: Apple includes a tiny AirPlay toggle in iOS 11's Control Center for iPhone and i...
There is much in iOS that I no longer attempt to use. Airplay is one of them. I'm sure that would change if I were an Apple engineer, but I'm not.Eric_WVGG said:This is the number one thing that drives me nuts about iOS 11. I switch outputs 3+ times a day, as I go from home audio to airpods back home etc. No idea why they buried that away right when Airplay (in whatever its evolving form is) is becoming more ubiquitous than ever.
Whatever happened to ease of use?

This is correct! I’m an audiophile and can’t wait to get mine on Friday. Don’t know if mass market feels the same way? For a lot of folks music is just background noise. For me it’s life’s blood.jdgaz said:" ....have given the HomePod good grades for audio quality, but sharply criticized Siri as weak next to the AI assistants in...." Honestly when I want a speaker the first thing I gauge is sound quality. So, in my book Apple focused on the most important thing a speaker can do, that his deliver sound. Siri will come along and be just fine. And it will lily not invade my privacy or deliver purchases to my door that I didn't really want.
One of the features that hasn't been touted much is the HomePod's ability to "normalize" sound volume originating from an Apple TV. I'm sick and tired of having to adjust volume when switching between stations/programming. On Netflix (via Apple TV) I am constantly adjusting volume between 35 and 85. Its a pain in the ass. -

Why can't I give you 100 "Like" clicks?BuffyzDead said:Haters gonna Hate! PLUS it creates clicks/views on his Opinion, …..which in the end, Is The Most Important Reason Of All, For Writing The Opinion
Bloggers don't have to hate to write something negative about the most respected/loved technology firm in the world, although it helps when trying to generate clicks.
