I’m not waiting 2 years! I wanna get them while their hot fresh out of the oven! I could get the originals on eBay for a slightly reduced price. But I thinking future here. If a smoke detector goes off it will notify you on your phone even if your not home. I like that feature.
Finally, you made it back… you don’t even know how much potential you have. Please don’t stop this time, you have the personality that a lot of tech reviewers are missing. Keep up the good work.
So happy you are back man! You were missed by many! I can only imagine how much bigger your channel could’ve been if you stayed consistent the last 2 years.
We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning ruclips.net/user/postUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.
Your original home pod videos were what convinced me to get a stereo pair. I’ve never looked back and they still sound amazing. You also got me into Dr disrespect, never heard of him before you played his songs. So happy your posting again!
I kept hoping you weren’t gone for good from RUclips over the last two years but my prayers have been answered. So glad you’re back on the scene! 100% keeping my OG HomePods.
Awesome 🎉🎉🎉 Elijah😀 you are back💪 I miss your great sense of humor, I always have enjoyed your videos because you have a great personality who has made me laugh a lot of times, so don’t stop. When I started my channel you are one of the persons who inspired me in this journey, don’t stop. I look forward to seeing more videos from you👍 thank you.
I have been waiting for you for two years. And, after watching this video,.... it was worth it every second. WELCOME BACK!!! Don't ever leave us again, please.
For the next tests, would be great to wait the calibration of the sound for the V2 (I heard it may take some minutes) And would be great to keep the same distance between the 2 stereos HomePod (more than 1,2m)
V1 sounds richer and more clear and pronounced in the mids and lows. Good that y'r back. (oh and BTW, you're more than welcome to play our music in your videos, we don't mind and will not complain or sue you for it ✨🤌✨)
I was so excited to see that your channel had come up telling me you had new video! I love your channel and what you do! I did check last year and a couple weeks ago to see if you had posted a video and sadden, so I am happy to see your back and look forward seeing your video. You bring such character / humor to your videos and alway love watch them! I hope your back and not going anywhere looking forward to watching video! Keep up the fantastic job!
Love that you are back! Thanks for your thoughts and insights. Never seen a man who can say as much as you do just with facial expressions. Thanks man!
It’s lovely to see you back with the HomePods! I adore my stereo pair and regularly play it with a Logitech 2.1 system via AirPort Express. I had a JBL sub that died before it. AirPort Express + HomePod stereo pair is a great combo.
happy new year erfon !!! where you been man? so great to see you on here again your original video of stereo pair HomePods cannot be beaten imho was so funny and informative I really cannot wait for more !!!
I noticed that after several minutes (15 or so) mine started to sound WAY better. Then after several hours of playback over 24 hours, they sounded *even* better. Like other commenters, I’d love to see how you think they compare after some more time goes by with them in the same placement, so they can get a reeeeeeally good sense of the room!
Okay, I listened to this comparison a year ago, and made a little comment. But this time I wore calibrated (to my specific audio profile) earbuds, and I can say definitively that the bass in the originals sounded much cleaner and punchier, and the treble sounded way more sparkly than the V2s. The bass in the V2s sounded a bit more boomy-Apple probably boosted them to try to sound similar to the originals, but didn’t accomplish that, to my hearing. I am so glad I still listen to my original HomePod stereo pair! Sounds great with my Apple TV 4K. Thanks for this!!
Dude, I've been looking for you every several months, going what happened to my homepods and anything apple sound guy? Welcome back. Hearing where you have been would be cool too. I'm glad you're not dead or seriously injured... as if stepping away from RUclips means that... lol.
😃 So strange… JUST yesterday I googled “what happened to youtuber Erfon Elijah?”, as I really have missed your videos and the charming way you present content. A BIG welcome back 🤗😃
Give em the love….tonite. Good to see you back man. Just one point I would imagine it will take a little while for the new speakers to be at they’re best there’s usually a break in period for new speakers.
iv done dual stereo setup with 4 OG HomePods Great for Music im still undecided about home theater wise Tho. I seem to get bass cancelation instead of bass multiplication but ill love to see what happens when Erfon Elijah does his tests
Awesome to have you back! I've been waiting for you to do this review and looking forward to your future ones. I hope your new HomePods improve over time and eventually score an A rating. I'm looking at buying Atmos TV speakers in June, and I'm thinking either the new HomePods or Sonos.
I am in love with your videos! Your expressions and reviews make me keep binging all of your videos! Please keep uploading new videos each week like you say on your cover photo! ❤😭
Dude! Not seen your videos before but I just started watching and I’m captivated! You’re a pretty cool dude awesome personality get back on it! Just subscribed 💙
I was listening to this with first Gen AirPods Pro and even then I can honestly saw you’re right that the original HomePods stereo pair does sound just a tiny bit better. Of course I have the two HomePods mini and this are fine by me for all I actually care
As someone who uses high end studio monitors for production work, I never found the OG HomePods to be balanced at all. They always sounded overly boomy, especially with electronic music. The new ones have much clearer highs and upper mids, with more balanced bass.
And......RUclips is suddenly alive again! 🎉😎 Glad you're back and looking good Efron. Like many others, I'd go back to your page every once in a while hoping you'd resurface but no such luck. I bought my OG HomePod after watching your videos and when they suddenly canceled it, I resisted the urge to buy one on eBay at inflated price. Bummed that the new one is not compatible and will wait for your Atmos review to decide if I get a used OG or the new set.
After having viewed your homepod videos countless times during the last 2 years (really!), I enjoyed this new gen2 video with wide smile on my face... WELCOME BACK ERFON!!!! Thank you for your review, I used my 2 OG homepod for this video and I heard that OGs' sound is noticeably smoother, more sophisticated than the 2nd gens'. I also love my stereo pair and at least the world must be collapsed to make me sell them. Nevertheless I am also happy knowing that the homepods are on the market again.... and also happy that Erfon is back again! I can hardly wait for new contents Erfon! Thank you again!!!
I just got the new set in. I feel like the old set has deeper bass at lower volumes. I also think the minis have much better and clearer vocals for use as TV speakers. The large ones are definitely better for movies and music, but for regular TV viewing, the minis vocals are way clearer.
Would like to hear you test both with audio directly from Apple Music. This should play higher quality music that is mixed specifically for the HomePods
welcome back Elijah! where have you been? 😂 there is no better occasion to return! welcome back to homepods too! god i missed you! I have 7 of the originals and although Siri is quite disappointing, I love them! I think I'll buy a couple of the new ones too (but I’m afraid they will sound worse)
I loved your review as I have only recently bought two used v1s and set them up as a stereo pair. Then, the v2 launched and I began to worry that the great sounding v1s were obsolete duds. I wish to believe that their sound is already great enough and the added cost of the newer ones is insufficient motive to upgrade. Finally, I have been toying with your final thought on setting up two stereo pairs of v1s in the same listening area. Did you try it? Was it worth it? Any additional advice would be appreciated. Subbed and looking forward to reviewing past & future posts! Though I didn’t know I missed you, I’m so happy you are back.
LOVE THAT SHIRT! Such an underrated film. But yeah, the rest of the video is helpful, too, but it's hard to know how subjective this stuff is and who I should believe. I've seen several other more technical videos from other people saying the bass is not quite as thumpy on the new ones but the clarity on the high end is significantly improved. Idk. In any case, I'm really curious to hear more thoughts regarding Dolby Atmos performance with music and especially in a home theater setup.
@@ErfonElijah The thing about the HomePods as TV speakers is I just don't get consistent audio sync :( I LOVE the sound of the stereo pair, but the audio just gets out of sync too often and I can't figure out any consistent fix (this happens whether I'm the eARC feature or simply using them as speakers with my Apple TV). All that to say... do YOU not have these issues? And if you do, what do you do about them? Maybe you could do a video about that... :) (To bring it back full circle to your shirt, we were actually trying to watch Star Trek III (in glorious 4k HDR) over the weekend with the HomePods as speakers, and after a few minutes in I had to give up and switch back to my old wired speakers. I should say I'm using the OG HomePods and the 2nd gen Apple TV 4k, so not exactly the latest, but if I'm having so many issues on these, I'm not about to shell out $600 for new HomePods and another $150 for the new Apple TV and very likely end up with the same issues)
Being a fan of you is great, cos you got the most amazing and entertaining content. Being a fan of you is also a real challenge, cos you got not enough content.
Welcome back Efron! I also have the original HomePods (1 Pair) and for a simple solution for the Matter and Sensors I just bought a couple of HomePod Minis which I also use for back ground music while reading and the other connected to my AppleTV in my bedroom.
Nos tenías abandonados 😅, gracias por los vídeos…diferentes que me encanta y las comparativas maravillosas que nos regalas. Un saludo y no te pierdas tanto tiempo 😉
love the videos and great comedic talent! I have a 6-homepod setup going for jammin out and its pretty sweet, although controlling music with 6 homepods playing at the same time can be kind of laggy.
14:30 I do this with two HomePod minis in the back, and for shows it envelops you in the sound, not surround sound, but still fun. Although it gets glitchy when you pause shows, and unpause and the front HomePods stay muted. It’s fidgety to say the least.
I agree, I also believe the Original Homepods sound slightly better. I purchased those after your original review of them. I do not require the additional features of the new models, they were bought strictly for the sound. As for the older version of Wifi, I am thinking, its possibly to get rid of the sound drop out problems many of us experience (usually watching RUclips Video???). Oddly this dropout issue NEVER happens while I am using the Original Homepods with Apple TV and my television. And yes, you can have 2 sets of stereo Homepods with your Apple TV, front and rear. I have the originals at the front and 2 homepod minis for the rear and yes, it sounds great! And its GREAT to see you back!
It's definitely worth waiting for two years to see Elijah's update video.
I’m not waiting 2 years! I wanna get them while their hot fresh out of the oven! I could get the originals on eBay for a slightly reduced price. But I thinking future here. If a smoke detector goes off it will notify you on your phone even if your not home. I like that feature.

Finally, you made it back… you don’t even know how much potential you have. Please don’t stop this time, you have the personality that a lot of tech reviewers are missing. Keep up the good work.
When I get to the top I want you to come be my chauffeur

Boti the hun is so right! I will be the door opener!

Agreed!
So happy you are back man! You were missed by many! I can only imagine how much bigger your channel could’ve been if you stayed consistent the last 2 years.
We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning ruclips.net/user/postUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.
Your original home pod videos were what convinced me to get a stereo pair. I’ve never looked back and they still sound amazing. You also got me into Dr disrespect, never heard of him before you played his songs. So happy your posting again!
I’m in the same boat as you 😊
6:45 You are correct. The V1 pods had rock solid control of low end that enhanced the insane clarity / accuracy / balance of the mid-high range.
V2 was more bassy. V1 did sound brighter and cleaner. Great review Erfon! Love your content
Great to see you again, I can say in confidence that everyone subscribed to your channel has been waiting for this review.
I kept hoping you weren’t gone for good from RUclips over the last two years but my prayers have been answered. So glad you’re back on the scene!
100% keeping my OG HomePods.
Welcome back! Glad to see new content! Didn’t want to ask where you’ve been.

You are the only person in the whole RUclips that I trust on how the HomePod sounds. Your opinion is 100% true. No bs!
happy new year erfon !!! where you been man? so great to see you on here again your original video of stereo pair HomePods cannot be beaten imho was so funny and informative I really cannot wait for more !!!
Yes!!!! He’s back! Glad you’re well and back to making the content we need. The Apple experience wasn’t the same without you.
I got 2 OG home pods and added the 2 home pod minis behind me for even a better sound along with the smoke alarm...etc. Great to have you back.
Didn’t know u could connect two minis and two HomePods together
How did you set that up?
Thanks for another great review! I love your compassion, enthusiasm and honesty! Already looking forward to your next video!
Please do a followup as a theater sound system after the pair have acclimated/tuned to the room. Love your vids and podcast!
I noticed that after several minutes (15 or so) mine started to sound WAY better. Then after several hours of playback over 24 hours, they sounded *even* better.

Welcome back Elijah!!!!! So glad to see you back. it’s been a while, hope to continue seeing your great review videos.
Dude I love your energy. Glad you’re back!
Glad to have you back buddy, love the humor, look forward to some sweet sweet videos.
Glad you're back! One of my favourite reviews, keep up the great work!
I remember watching your video before I went and picked up the original homepod. Love it to this day
Give em the love….tonite. Good to see you back man. Just one point I would imagine it will take a little while for the new speakers to be at they’re best there’s usually a break in period for new speakers.
Everytime I saw your channel with no updates the last two years it made me sad. So glad to see you back!
I hope you do the dual paired sets for home theater. I would be really excited to know if that crazy set up is worth it or not.
Yes!! Definitely do this soon!
A second yes! Pair with Apple TV 4K.
iv done dual stereo setup with 4 OG HomePods Great for Music im still undecided about home theater wise Tho. I seem to get bass cancelation instead of bass multiplication but ill love to see what happens when Erfon Elijah does his tests
Please do more. You were the one that convinced me to go full into the dual OG HomePods.
Hi Elijah. Good to see you’re posting tech reviews again. I just have one original HomePod, and like the sound especially the extended bass!
Definitely worth the wait! Welcome back!!!
Welcome back…can you tell us if it is better to place the 2 pods behind the couch instead of the side of the tv?
Yes! Finally! Welcome back Erfon!
Wow! so great to see you again!!

Yes! Please do a 4 speaker set up for tv! I just bought my 2nd and love the stereo pair for tv.
Thanks for your review 👏
Holy crap, yes, he lives!!! No lie, I got sad a while back and assumed the Covid got ya. Glad you’re back!
So happy for your return, don't do that to us again :) --- Suggest a Blind test to see if your love for the original is unintentionally biased?
Welcome back! I love your content and can’t wait to see what’s next. Long live the OG HomePod ❤
Glad your back, really missed your videos and yes make a video on why you disappeared for so long.
I had no idea you're a Doc fan! love that. Glad you are back Erfon!
I was wondering when you would be back to do a HomePod 2nd gen video. Liked the first one and the HomePod mini review. Thanks
Welcome back!!!! So happy to see you.
Excited to have you back! Looking forward to your content!
14:30 I do this with two HomePod minis in the back, and for shows it envelops you in the sound, not surround sound, but still fun. Although it gets glitchy when you pause shows, and unpause and the front HomePods stay muted. It’s fidgety to say the least.
Great video and review Efron loving the Tee, live long and prosper my friend.
Oh really? So glad to see you again on RUclips. Miss you.
Awesome video! Great to see you post again.
i’m a simple man i see a video i watch it, but this video. Brought a tear to my eye to see youtube’s golden boy back🎉🎉
I was hoping you play Mr Disrespect from the first seconds and you DID!!
Thanks. Can you please check the spatial audio performance of the new gen? Apple recommended 120 cm between them in order to achieve the best results.
Yes, that's what I want the type of the review for HomePod - compare in stereo paired! Now, since they sound so close, how about a blind test?
I’ve been so excited for this
yay Wellcome back bruh!!!!! love your takes :D
So happy you're back !!

So there’s no noticeable latency between the two stereo pairs?
@@neverman3398 None and I usually have them turned up quite loud, so it would be noticeable, if there was any latency
