Marshall Speaker Vs Apple Homepod

Bought first HomePod as early adopter... Is a good single speaker and Apple Music has me listening to tons of new songs. With the second HomePod and pairing, the sound is incredible. I use with AppleTV for enhanced audio with my entertainment system.

I love my Apple HomePod mini!

Apple HomePod might not be the top seller, but its by far the best sounding smart speaker. I loved my first HomePod but two HomePods is even more amazing. Bass is pure and strong, vocals clear, and the volume can get incredibly loud if you want. This is the best smart speaker for sound quality and Siri keeps getting better with every update. A little pricy, but worth it if you like great sound reproduction.

Let’s be clear the HomePod was never meant to be a smart speaker. Instead it was designed and developed to produce outstanding sound in a compact package within the Apple ecosystem and that is exactly what it does. The sound of speakers is truly subjective and to say if Google Home or Sonos is the better speaker is just that, subjective. One thing is clear the tinny sounding echo or echo dot does not compete in sound quality to the HomePod. Siri does not compete in answering trivia, playing fireplace sounds etc. like Alexa. �Siri does take commands in a low voice and does it well. Ask it to play music, set an alarm, play the news, or give the weather no problems. Is it as robust as Alexa? No but it wasn’t made to be that way. Shortcomings? A few... can you ask Siri to stream other music providers through voice commands? No, but you can stream it through Airplay. HomePod does many things well and yes shortcomings exist but the software exists within the HomePod for future upgrades. HomePod is still new but if you are looking for amazing sound particularly if you are signed up to Apple Music you will not be disappointed.

I am very happy with the Apple HomePod. The sound is fantastic. The bass and treble are outstanding for such a small speaker, and integration with the Apple ecosystem is flawless. When I learned this product was discontinued, I turned to B&H as a reliable source. Best of all, it arrived 3-4 days earlier than the shipping forecast. Amazing service!

I was debating whether I should get an Apple HomePod or a Sonos speaker and I ultimately settled on Sonos Play:5. I am completely blown away by the sound quality coming out of this rather compact speaker. The flexibility Sonos offers in terms of music streaming service it supports is a huge bonus.

This a very nice quality speaker from made by Apple. I owned the original HomePod that came out a few years ago, and comparing the two I do think they sound very similar even though this 2nd gen one has less Tweeters compared to the 1st gen and therefore cheaper. Being $300 I wouldn't expect a mind-blowing experience, and these won't necessarily blow you away, but the HomePod will definitely satisfy your need to play a room-filling, bass-heavy music experience. I'm probably going to get another HomePod and pair it with the one I have to create a Stereo experience, and I expect that set-up to be much better than just the stand-alone setup. I would definitely recommend anyone in the market for smart-speaker to pick this up, especially if you're already heavily within the Apple ecosystem. For the price you can't go wrong.

HomePod has a wonderful sound and yea it pricey but so is everything Apple

Marshall Stanmore3 is the world's favorite speaker.

I love my Marshall’s speaker video use it every day.
