Serverer best lydkvalitet i klassen, Overraskende dynamisk og detaljrikt lydbilde, Det peneste designet
Siri kan mindre enn konkurrentene og skjønner ikke forskjellige stemmer, Ingen AirPlay 2-støtte i iOS (og derfor ikke stereo-støtte ved lansering – ukjent lanseringstidspunkt)
Med så mye penger og ressurser fokusert på et produkt, er det ikke merkelig et selskap kan få til mange god ting, som lyd, men hvorfor ikke alle tingene ved lansering eller i det minste de viktigste?Minus for det, men pluss for at de faktisk tok seg tiden...
Abstract: Vi har skaffet oss endel gjennom årenes løp. Det hele startet med Amazons første og andre Echo-høyttaler, etterfulgt av en Google Home samt en Home Mini. For felles for de de første produktene er at lydkvaliteten er så som så, men at de er OK til å styre...
Imponerende dyb bas kombineret med klar, luftig lyd. Desuden er HomeKit-systemet meget stabilt
Det er ikke lige så let at tilføje produkter at styre. Som der i øjeblikket er ganske få af. Den taler ikke dansk
Apple HomePod lyder bedre end de fleste smart-højttalere, vi har testet. Smart-styringen opleves også som meget stabil, næsten uden fejl.Desværre er der ikke særlig mange tredjeparts smart-produkter, der understøttes direkte, så man må ty til uoff...

Apple har på ny meldt sig ind på markedet for højttalere efter et fejlslagent forsøg med iPod Hi-Fi i 2006. HomePod er grundlæggende bygget på en filosofi om, at lyd i fremtiden bliver trådløst, hvorfor den heller ikke har en eneste fysisk lydindgang. Und...

Abstract: Apple har arbejdet on/off på en smarthøjttaler i mere end 5 år.Ikke intensivt, i begyndelsen var det mere on/off, men rygterne siger at Apples audio-ingeniører jokede med hvem der havde talt over sig, da Amazon et par år senere i 2012 lancerede deres førs...

Abstract: Videoen her er fra IFA-udstillingen hvor Sony demonstrerede den lille ny. Det ser dog ud til at de skal finpudse styringen med håndbevægelserne noget mere inden den sendes på markedet.Der er indbygget Chromecast og den kan styres/indstilles med Google Hom...
Abstract: HomePod er modsat sine rivaler fokuseret på musikoplevelsen. Rundt om bunden sidder der 7 tweetere, der er meget retningsbestemte.Disse bruges, sammen med den subwoofer, der sidder i toppen, til at fordele lyden efter rummets udformning. HomePod måler alt...
HomePod to świetny smart głośnik. Wszystko stoi tu na najwyższym poziomie – od wykonania po dźwięk. Asystent głosowy działa bardzo dobrze, bez żadnych opóźnień. Jedynym problemem jest tutaj brak języka polskiego, choć części osób to może przeszkadzać, wię...
HomePod brzmi świetnie i ma duży potencjał. Dlatego pomimo ograniczonej funkcjonalności powinien trafić do Polski, ale będzie interesujący tylko dla zaprzysięgłych zwolenników Apple. Wszyscy inni powinni wybrać raczej głośniki od Amazona albo Google.Tabe...
