Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan I just needed something that would play my stuff and not lag the crap out of voiceover. I like the HomePod more than I thought I would. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/537140/#p537140 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan Hi.well i have one problem with the Homepod, and the problem is called Siri. Don't get me wrong, I'm an apple household, I have an iPhone, iPad, Watch annd sooner or later a Mac or MacBook Pro, but Siri on the HomePod is just not at the level where

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan Lol, for Apple, the price is the biggest enemy. I hate the prices that they charge and in India, it absolutely doesn't makes sence to buy an Apple device. Therefore there market share is just 1% of the entire smartphone market of this country. Much

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan My HomePod has made me nervous twice already because it needed software updates. Remember the 13.2 disaster? Well, yeah, mine came still running 11.2.5 URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/537116/#p537116 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan I have a HomePod, although I don't use it as much as I thought. I'm a very private person, most of the time, and I doubt my housemates would want to hear stuff like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csQKuPYpivcblasting through ... well, rather

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan what the fuck? I wrote ñeh instead of meh, sorry hahaha. I thought I was writing in spanish.Also yeah, I think that the google home mini has its pros and cons vs the hub, mainly because the mini thing has an audio cable, could come in handy to play

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan Google isn't really all that bad. For a small speaker, the home mini is excellent. I just wanted something that could fit in my room and still get sound out everywhere. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/536408/#p536408 -- Audiogames

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan Hi.I'm not at all on apple, mainly because I don't really have a lot of money due to city changes and the pandemic over all. I used to have a lot of money previously, but I was keeping it in an account to pay my university. Lol.Also, I'm planning

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan All of my devices are Apple, except for my other speakers. The Echo was a Christmas present, and the google home mini came from Spotify. They each have a purpose, but I do think the HomePod has superior sound. Did the price make me ill, sure

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan @DJEPIC,  I'm still not seeing the practicality.  Separate soundcards and audio interfaces allow me to already do that and keep it all where I need it, mainly my living room.  Anything beyond that is overkill and unnecessary.  I think part

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan @Nocturnus: To be fair, this has gotten more bearable as you can mostly likely stream your screen reader to headphones or a computer's inbuilt or wired speaker so that everything is streamed to the BT speaker except your screen reader. This goes so

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan If you're tied down to the Apple ecosystem, I guess it would be fine. But overall, Siri is trash and if I could replace it on my iPhone with the google assistant fully, I would. If I had to justify a purchase like that, I'd more be able to justify

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan The HomePod supports Bluetooth, but Apple doesn't allow you to connect other devices and use the speaker for Bluetooth output. Supposedly it only uses Bluetooth for initial configuration with an iOS device and presumably other nearby iOS features

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan I love Apple's eco-system, but being tied to it is not my cup of tea.  For all the wireless connectivity they want  to throw at me I'd rather simply have my physical speakers controled by my physical mixer by my physical hands, tied to my physical

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan Agreed with @Connor. Given my integration in different tech ecosystems, I can't personally justify the (I think) $300 price tag. If I wanted good sound, I could get the Sonos One, or the Echo Studio. I believe both are priced similarly ($170 to $200

Re: HomePod, more treasure than trashcan

HomePod, more treasure than trashcan

HomePod, more treasure than trashcan Hi guys. So some of you may know I got a HomePod on Saturday. Here are my observations after about 48 hours. As for the sound, it impressed me. The thing sounds amazing, even when placed close to something that makes a lot of noise, like my fan
