  • Gut gefallen hat uns beim HomePod die simple Einrichtung, der sehr gute Klang und die sensible Spracherkennung. Man merkt, dass bei Apple weniger die smarten Features, dafür mehr die intuitive Bedienung und der Sound im Vordergrund stehen. Das ist für ein...

  • Kinderleichte Einrichtung, Ansprechendes Design, Sehr guter Klang in allen Lagen, Verständliche Bedienbarkeit
  • Nur mit Apple-Geräten nutzbar, iOS zur Einrichtung zwingend
  • Mit dem Homepod bringt Apple seinen ersten eigenen und voll in die Apple-Welt integrierten Smart-Speaker auf den Markt. Verarbeitung, Klangqualität, Einrichtung und Steuerung des Apple Homepod liegen im Test auf sehr hohem Niveau und sorgen für ein rundum...

  • Jeder der Lautsprecher soll sich durch Besonderheiten von der Konkurrenz abheben. Panasonic setzt mit dem GA10 auf einen zusätzlichen Eingang, und Onkyo bietet mit dem P3 einen Alexa-Lautsprecher an, hat mit dem G3 aber auch eine Google-Assistant-Variante...

  • Der Apple HomePod klingt ein kleines bisschen besser. Okay, aber dafür bekommt man die Freiheit beim Streamingdienst und noch den Google Assistant, der Siri überlegen ist. Minimal schlechterer Sound (den die meisten im Alltag kaum bemerken werden), dafü...

  • Mit dem HomePod bietet Apple einen guten Lautsprecher an. Sein Klang ist satt, was man dem Winzling ob seiner Größe auf den ersten Blick hin gar nicht zutrauen mag. Inbetriebnahme und Bedienung gehen vorbildlich leicht von der Hand – das aber nur dann, we...

  • Nach nunmehr knapp einer Woche mit Apples HomePod ist es Zeit für unser Testfazit. Das Gute am Gerät: Software lässt sich nachträglich verbessern, schlechte Lautsprecher-Hardware nicht. Der aktuelle Stand zeigt, dass Apple bei dem Lautsprecher-Teil nicht...

  • Apples Homepod ist ein smarter Lautsprecher mit gutem Klang. Für die Bedienung mit dem digitalen Assistenten Siri fehlen aber viele Funktionen, die bei Alexa und Google Assistant längst selbstverständlich sind. Ohne ein Apple-Smartphone- oder -Tablet kann...

  • Abstract:  Für die Reparatur eines Homepod verlangt Apple etwa 80 Prozent des Neupreises, ähnlich dem Air Pod. Angesichts der Probleme, welche die Techniker von iFixit beim obligatorischen "Teardown" hatten, ist dies aber wohl auch eher ein Austausch-Preis. Der Aus...

  • Abstract:  Berlin - Auf den ersten Blick kommt Apple mit seinem vernetzten Lautsprecher HomePod ziemlich spät zur Party. Amazon hat schon seit drei Jahren seinen Amazon Echo im Programm. Google Home gibt es seit mehr als einem Jahr. Doch der Erfolg des iPad zeigt: E...

  • Abstract:  Der beste Sprachassistent ist für uns Amazons Alexa. Der virtuelle Assistent von Amazon weiß zwar nicht ganz so viel wie der Google Assistant, aber die Bedienung klappt besser und durch die vielen Skills, die es inzwischen für Alexa gibt, ist der Amazon-...
