![]() ![]() As much as I was intrigued by the audio engineering and performance that the HomePod offered, I couldn’t justify that high price. At $350 I can pick up two Sonos One speakers on sale in comparison to one HomePod, and I’d have a true stereo pair that has proven smart features, home automation control, and multiple music streaming integrations. So it shouldn’t be surprising that the HomePod landed with a collective shoulder shrug from much of the tech press and consumers. All of those are networked speakers, yes, but are all strong smart speakers with capabilities well beyond listening to music. No matter how much they tried to position the HomePod as a top tier networked streaming music speaker, it was bound to get compared against Amazon Echoes, Google Home Max and mini speakers, Sonos One and the like. When Apple released the original HomePod in the beginning of 2018 they had an uphill battle ahead of them.
