The home pod speaker sound incredible, but I don't like the fact that all you 
have access to is Apple Music unless you want to airatair drop from your 
phoneddI like the Sonos for its diversity and the multiroom capability.
However, this is not a  knock on Apple.  I have always wanted the Sonos and I 
don’t regret my decision.  If Apple would open up to offering outside services, 
this might be a different story.

But, being an XM subscriber Sonos works for me.  I wouldn’t mind though, seeing 
a homepod in action at someone’s home.

I saw them at Best Buy a few weeks ago for $199, where I bought my son a
Play 3 for $249. I had heard that when the Home Pod went on sale, Sonos was
selling a pair of Play 1's for $349, so you could get a pair of Play 1's for
the same price as a Home Pod. Obviously, you'd want to check around for
prices and sales at various locations.

I hope that this is not off topic, but you cannot possibly compare the sound 
of the Home Pod with the Sonos Play 1, or the Sonos Play 3.
It's simply not in the same category.Now, the Sonos play 5 speakers for $499 
each, if you want true stereo, sound great. but remember, once you move away 
from that sweet spot, right in front of the speakers, you lose the balance 
and the great sound, , while the home pod radiates sound everywhere in the

I am highly impressed with the Sonos Play 5's, but even more astounded and

Re: Okay, I have to Admit It, HomePod Is The Best

2018-02-17 Thread Kay Malmquist
I realize this is straying off topic just a bit, but what is the difference 
between the Play 1 and the play 3?  I think this had been discussed before, 
but wasn't really interested so didn't pay attention.

I just ordered a pair of Sonos Ones directly from Sonos. They gave me $50 
off plus free expedited shipping because I was a repeat customer. So the 
pair was $349 plus free shipping.

I saw them at Best Buy a few weeks ago for $199, where I bought my son a 
Play 3 for $249. I had heard that when the Home Pod went on sale, Sonos was 
selling a pair of Play 1's for $349, so you could get a pair of Play 1's for 
the same price as a Home Pod. Obviously, you'd want to check around for 
prices and sales at various locations.

Hi,
I thought the Play:1's were down to $149.00 and the Sonos One's that come 
with Amazon Echo built in were $199.
Just checked Amazon and that pricing still seems to be in effect there in 
case anyone wanted any.

Take good care.

Re: Okay, I have to Admit It, HomePod Is The Best

2018-02-17 Thread Kay Malmquist
Which Sonos were those?  The ones I saw were around $400 a piece and I 
haven't had the money for them.  I'd be interested in knowing which model 
they are.

Better even than the Sonos speakers? Which a friend of mine, said he paid
$199 for each.
I was pretty impressed with those when I heard them during a visit over the
holidays especially considering their size.

Subject: Okay, I have to Admit It, HomePod Is The Best

I promise I won't flood the list with these kinds of posts but I have to
admit that I found myself doing something this evening that I haven't done
in over 10 years.  I actually sat in my living room, with a hardcopy Braille
novel and enjoyed listening to my music on my HomePod, in front of my
fireplace.  The sound was so pleasant that I can actually see myself doing
this on a regular basis.

During the past 10 years I've purchased over 10 Bluetooth speakers and none
have compelled me to just sit and listen and read.  In fact, I ended up
giving all of them away but not this time.

Regardless of the lack of AI skills, the sound alone is definitely worth the
400+ dollars I paid for the device.

Okay, no more unsolicited testimonials' from me.

My only regret is that I cannot have all of you, my brothers and sisters,
here, so we can experience these beautiful moments, together.

Sincerely,

Mark
