Do NOT get the Apple HomePod 2023! (unless you’re getting two...)

Here is my 2023 Apple HomePod review! Is the new Apple HomePod worth it? NO - but two Apple PomePods are! Let me explain... this Apple HomePod stereo setup will blow your mind 🤯

Im building my setup, oled 4k Sony tv, Apple tv 4K, and 2 homepods! all I ever need.

[victorblanco]

Apple should offer a bundle offer to incentivize people to buy 2 😊

[polardiscoball]

no regrets on buying a stereo pair when they first came out
you can't beat computational audio, the stereo imaging is simply heaven
I'm talking sound quality over a digital assistant, they play nice with the new M chip devices and rock with my projector

Just one information. The transfert of music from iPhone to HomePod (mini or not) doesn’t work ONLY with Apple Music. I’m using Deezer and it works perfectly. I can also ask Siri to launch music or playlist and it uses Deezer by default

It seems it a Spotify decision to not implement this function, probably because they have been launch a war against Apple

Does the Apple HomePod 2 work with just playing music from YouTube videos/playlists you’ve made? (Not YouTube music)

[savrah]

I have one and its perfectly fine in my small living room.

Just purchased a single HomePod and love it! I already have a great sounding sound bar system for my TV, and find the Home Pod great for music and other listening. If I didn't have the sound bar, I'd follow your tip to eventually purchase a second Home Pod. I'm hoping the projected AI related Siri improvements this fall improve Home Pod features.

Our midnight pair arrived on Monday. Under our tv, the sound really is better, and it’s great to have the temp/humidity sensors in our living room (and the Matter connectivity.) The midrange is still a little sucky…but it and spoken word/dialogue are both noticeably better, and everything is less muddy. The bass is definitely more balanced, too. Siri though is just a shit show right now—again—and I wonder if that’s because Apple is getting ready to push out the big HomeKit architecture update that they pulled a few months ago?

If I understand well, the HomePods will sound good with Reggae and Dub?

[justpeachee]

Just got two on the way for my room set up. Replacing a 2.1 channel for this. Very hopeful in my room it will add some much needed ambiance and depth to the stuff I watch. Plus all the other uses I have for it.

[khoapho]

Can you paired 4 Homepods Gen 2 together in the same room and have them all play together at the same time? Trying to do 2 in front by the tv and 2 in the back for a full all around sound.

[eraldway]

Nope. One sounds really good. Place it in one spot and leave there for a couple days. The HomePod will adjust and sound Amazon even with one.

[heidimarleyful]

I have 2 HomePod mini’s and I love them but the connectivity is sometimes 🤐🤬. Sometimes they connect immediately and another moment none of the 2 or just 1 🤷🏻‍♀️
I have 1 in the bedroom and 1 in the living room. In the bedroom I have a WiFi amplifier so why do they have a problem with connecting?

[tglenn]

Thanks for the video. I am wondering if the homepod will work in conjunction with a (non-Apple) home AV receiver that has bluetooth, or does it only work in conjunction with the Apple TV box?

Stereopair with Homepod 2’ blew the Sonos Beam completely, not even a competition

[meowmeow]

I have a crazy set up.

(Because I can/wanted to if you want to know why.)

I have 12 HomePod gen1s in my bedroom surrounding my bed (all in pairs of 2) 2 front center/top front/bottom front/middle/back bottom/back top. Crazy 😁
On top of that, ...I have a Sonos Arc with the two front centers (the arc sits in front of the two HomePods), and two Era 300's with the back speakers.

I really like the sound. I have to play with the individual volumes to get it just right (wish there was a program to do it automatically) but other than that....I like it.
Crazy and unique.

The setup, using a Wii2, can also be paired with any sub that has a coax, RCA input, or optical input.

[richy]

Yea i recently just picked up a single HomePod and noticed it wasn’t as great as i thought it was. I have 2 minis that help just a bit but guess im gonna have to buy another one😅

[Turritopsis-dohrnii]

I had 2 stereo pairs of the original homepods, (which I got rid of when they refused to play nice thanks Apple) but you are right.. they really sound amazing as stereo pairs even rivaling my mackie HR824 studio monitors! So in the uk thats £600 for 2, not too bad really.

[Dejan]

i have a mac mini m2, can you put in mac mini m2 mac os system two homepods together as a stereo pair..

[gsdlvr]

We bought 2 for our family room…we don’t watch a lot of TV…but they sound nice.

I have a pair of the minis in our bedroom…my wife likes that.

The sound quality on the HomePods are nice.

We are empty nesters…but we still have a a lot of Apple devices between my wife and me (3 laptops, 1 4K Mac, 4 iPads, several 4K Apple TVs and a few phones). If we weren’t in the eco system I’d probably have purchased a different system.
