Amazon Echo Definitely Better than Apple HomePod, in One Respect

2018-12-23 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone, You know, one of the most popular request made to both Apple and Amazon is that they provide independent sound equalizer support for their music/speaker devices. When I purchased my first Echo device, a while ago, this feature was not available. The same was true for HomePod.

Hello all, I just got an Amazon echo. I think I have heard somewhere before that there is a list that is strictly for the echo and the Amazon dot. If anyone has that information can you please pass it along? Thank you. Johnna Simmons > On Dec 23, 2018, at 8:36 PM, lenron brown wrote: > > You

The home pod is behind both the Echo and Google home in many respects. Even with general features, the home pod is really lacking, and I think you can now play Apple music on the echo so there is little reason to get a home pod. Hopefully Apple will catch up but they have a ways to go. > On Dec

I have both an Apple HomePod and an Echo Dot connected to Bose speakers. I am not sure why everyone thinks the HomePod is so far behind on “skills”. The HomePod is a far better device, Now with Siri short cuts you can use third party apps to do things from the HomePod. I find the Apple speaker m

I agree with you, Ed. I own a couple of echoes. Generally, I find that the Alexa system is horrible with respect to giving the information I actually need or could use, outside of the weather and a little bit of news briefing. and most of the skills are junk games and other Time wasters. That sa

Hey Mary, I’m glad to hear someone on my side of the fence for once. It seems that the internet seems to hate Apple for the sake of hating Apple. The HomePod in my eyes will never be what Amazon has made the Echo system. I am personally ok with that too. It was created to be a home speaker syst

I love yall that gas up the home pod so much it's great. It sounds nice that's about it, anything else I got to give to the Echo and the google home. Over paying for the sound might be good for some but it's not worth it when you can't fine tune the EQ. Again Siri will not give me as much info as I
