The HomePod is Apple’s answer to the Amazon Echo, the Google Home, the Sonos One, and every other smart speaker out there with a voice assistant built-in. It’s a $349 speaker with Siri built-in — the basic idea is pretty simple. It comes in two colors, it’s covered in a spongy fabric with a touch display at the top, and it’s surprisingly heavy.
Even by its own standards, the company has arrived late to the wireless speaker party. But being late is perfectly acceptable if you’re the life and soul when you arrive – and that’s pretty much the story with the HomePod. Despite some flaws and limitations, the HomePod is the best-sounding smart speaker available - and by quite a margin.
It’s all well and good having a bass driver that can shift some serious air, but keeping it controlled at the same time is a tricky business. The HomePod manages it expertly.
