Article: Apple HomePod Review - An Audiophile Perspective

[Osterberg]

Hello,

 

Executive Summary: Don't fool yourself into thinking this is an audiophile product. It's a me too voice control product that happens to play audio. 

 

Apple doesn't make me too products & this has very little to do with voice control. Please see below review for a much bigger picture.

No, not a vested interest at all, just an appreciation for excellent quality & well thought out products. I simply like the way they think. Apple never rushes anything to market, in fact they are usually last. If they did, Homepod would have been out for Christmas.

 

As for Sonos, etc. having things out first - who cares? What is point of having these personal speakers?

The "sound" is all that matters.
