The HomePod looks the same as its predecessor, sounds too bassy, and costs too much.
Setting up the HomePod is easy. Walk into the room with the HomePod while holding the iPhone you’re setting it up with, and the Apple Home app will immediately pop up with a window asking you to pair the two. Doing this with a sole unit or a left-and-right array is easy. It’s even easy to move the HomePods from room to room and reconfigure them all. This convenience is a big part of the Apple experience, and I’ll admit—sometimes I wish Google’s stuff felt this way.
Thankfully, the second-gen HomePods were fine playing other content on TV. I had no problem watching kids’ content likethrough YouTube TV or whatever Netflix promoted for the weekend. The HomePods did well with low-volume dialogue, even though they were placed behind the TV . But when I seriously wanted to watch something, like live Coachella performances through YouTube or a featured movie on Pluto TV, the HomePods made it known that they preferred pumping bass to the high-end.
Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t offer customization over the equalizer as Sonos, Google, and even Amazon do for their smart speakers. There is an option to reduce the bass through the Apple Home app, but then the synthwave and dance songs sound awfully flat. While I can appreciate that Apple wants to make it easy by taking on the labor of tuning a track, I was left wanting more control over the sound.The HomePod can be controlled through the Apple Home app.
