I would say if you are in the Apple ecosysem Sonos is also very high up and it
gives you a ton of options and chocies with respect to what you can get for
which room. Of course you can't have Siri on it as a digital assistant (at
least not yet), but you can have Alexa or Google Assistant (not
I think which speaker to get depends somewhat on what eco system you are in and
what you want your speaker to do. If sound quality is your absolute top
priority, and especially if you use an Iphone, than yes, a homepod might be the
best choice. If your top priority is the best smart home device
I don't use my fourth generation echo for all that much. I ask it the
time, how to spell words and sometimes as a bluetooth speaker for my

Well Siri may be behind, it strikes me that Alexa is getting stupider. I can’t
count the number of things Alexa just plain either doesn’t know or misses the
question entirely. And there’s totally no comparison and sound between the
older HomePod and anything Amazon produces. And the new one
Apple has still not addressed the biggest issues with the home pod though, if
you compare siri with Alexa and Google Assistant, Siri’s capabilities are far
behind the other two. Also, the smart home device support is far behind the
other two smart speaker eco systems. Granted, the matter
I think of smart speakers a bit like browsers, they all have their strength and
weaknesses. We have Alexa speakers and all our Sonos speakers which support a
digital assistant are set up for Alexa in addition to the relatively new Sonos
voice assistant, but we also have a few Google
Not very tempting for somebody like me who is very much into Sonos. Sonos is
going to release new speakers called Optima this year which I imagine will
first replace the Sonos Five as that is one of their most dated speakers, but I

I was just wondering about this. How did others like the HomePod 1? I’m
