Good, Looks good, Much more capable than the size suggests, Flawless connectivity with Apple devices, Works well as a speaker for your TV, Flexible, powerful sound
Expensive, Limited IoT capabilities for now
As far as smart speakers go, the Apple HomePod (2nd Gen) is undeniably expensive, and too specific in its functionality for many to even want to consider in India. However, if you have an iPhone and other Apple hardware such as the Apple TV 4K, the HomePo...
Yes, if you are well entrenched in the Apple ecosystem like me and have a host of devices that can make use of the superb sound profile and smartness of the HomePod. This makes even more sense if you use the Apple TV for watching movies with family as eve...

spatial and lossless audio, recycled material, improved Siri, AirPlay 2, can be made a stereo pair and used for Apple TV sound, good sound in big open spaces
sound quality highly dependent on room geometry, no native Spotify or BBC radio, needs Apple Music subscription to get best out of it, no Bluetooth streaming or linein, expensive, not crossplatform
The second-generation HomePod is one of the most inconsistent speakers I've tested. In large open-plan spaces it sounds great. But sit in the wrong place, such as directly facing a sofa that is positioned against a wall in a medium-sized living room, and...
Sounds superb, Siri is very responsive, Useful temperature and humidity sensors
Expensive, HomePods still can't play BBC radio natively
The Apple HomePod (2nd generation) is clearly a better smart speaker than the original. The hardware isn't much different, aside from its temperature and humidity sensors, but Apple's steady introduction of new features for its Home and Shortcuts apps mea...
(Image credit: Future)It's something of a surprise to find that the new HomePod is so similar in styling and design to its 2018 predecessor, but Apple has clearly decided to iterate on rather than reinvent that original which, let's remember, Apple starte...
Stunning audio,Works perfectly with Apple TV,Now a proficient home hub,
Bass can be a bit much, Requires other Apple products, Too tall to sit under your TV,
The second-generation HomePod provides jaw-dropping audio, whether listening to music or watching films through the Apple TV, and it only gets better with two of them. If you've already bought into the Apple ecosystem, this provides a premium experience a...
Abstract: The HomePod 2 is a surprising relaunch for Apple's smart speaker, because at first glance, it doesn't appear to offer much that's different to the original model. And after taking a much deeper glance (and listen), I can report that it does not, in fact...
Requires Apple TV 4K, No up-firing units, No options for surround expansion
A pair of Apple HomePods (2nd Gen) can be paired with an Apple TV 4K, enabling support for 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos audio. They can also be connected to a TV's HDMI ARC/eARC to pull audio from your TV, PlayStation, Xbox, and other devices. These two feat...
The HomePod 2 delivers great sound that's further bolstered by spatial audio and Dolby Atmos music. It's an expensive smart speaker to be sure, but the room-filling audio it delivers sounds great – no matter where you or it are in relation to each other –...
