Anyone thinking of buying an Apple Homepod?

another_casualty

I’m all applied up . Can’t see me needing this tbh. I have everything
( including tv ) , going through my stereo amp and speakers .
Way too much tbh.
I have Apple TV with voice recognition . Sometimes that is useless and you’re better off typing in the search manually . It does answer back when you swear at it though .
With a hifi system you don’t have to rely on software issues ether.

They have a lot of catching up to do with Alexa and google, as mentioned above.

So if you get the cash you will be queued to get it.More money than sense IMO:whistle:

If someone does not want something based on their own personal need for that something then good comment.

If someone does not want something but then goes on to say that others who will get it have little sense is a useless comment at best or bitter and resentful at worst.

What do you need to work with it ?

by all accounts the sound quality off(sic) it is excellent.

Subjective not objective really depends on your ears/music taste

And the price, £319, jeez thats alot of money. I can see a smaller version and a cheaper one being released at some point to appeal to more of the audience

Well it is expensive, subjective again depending on your pocket, but it's apple they will bring out an Homepod-s within months/1 year

Personally I talk to the Telly and The Wife both of which don't answer back, my Rogers speakers cost about the same for a pair, when I bought them, and nobody could tell me that this little box is as good, but of course that is subjective too.:cool:

Totally agree but considering I currently listen to my music through my iMac and don’t own a stereo system it will improve.

No. Even as an Apple fan I won’t be buying this. I’m another one with three Sonos 1 speakers and a linked Echo. This combination does everything I want / need.

Because of an Amazon error I was given a total refund so am extra happy with my set up.

Just wanted to say “Damn Sonos make ugly speakers”

I'm an apple user and have been since the early nineties.

Currenty have two imacs, a macbook pro, ipad pro, ipad air, three iphone X's and airpods

Won't be getting the speaker - more than happy with my Alexa.

Main issue for me is I have a hive system in the house and hive is not supported by apple.
