I won't lie, man, this is by far the best tech reviewer that I've come across with the sheer fact you've actually made me laugh while looking at products. Great job!
I've never seen this guy before but after like 15 secs i was already entertained. His facial expressions are classic!!! Subbed after seeing the 10:00 mark. Awesome!
Most UNDERRATED tech reviewer. It just took this one video to convince me to subscribe. I like to be entertained, and you have definitely done that. Keep the charisma and you'll be one of the best that youtube has seen.
I have the Echo Studio with the Subwoofer and I could not be happier....I have no reason now to get out of bed...(it's in my bedroom)...it's smart, answers my questions, plays my music and movies, and tells me what is going on in the world and frankly, it's a cold dark world out there but it's bright and sunny and cheery and I can dance to it in here, Cheers!
I am right there with you. I purchased a HomePod when it was first introduced and it has exceeded my expectations for how well a speaker (of its size) can sound. One day I’d love to purchase a 2nd HomePod to put in a stereo pair. Down the line I’d love to see a “HomePod Pro” which would allow you to place a HomePod in each of the 4 corners of a room and pair them together to create fully immersive 3D system for music, TV shows, and movies.
Just saw this review and discovered your channel. Your energy is infectious ! Never stop making those videos! You're bound to have a lot more fans discovering your work!
like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
It seems like a good approach, which I tend to do, is have both HomePod and Echo or Alexa devices. But the Alexa devices can be cheap ones for quick questions, etc. Then use the HoemPod for tight Apple integration, and better sound.
Excellent, insightful review! I think both have their redeeming features. The Echo Studio is significantly less expensive, and also allows wired connection to sound sources, which is a major plus in terms of versatility.
I just have a HomePod with a few Echo Dots lying around the house. If I want to listen to music I pump up the HomePod. Otherwise I just use Echo to do all the smart things.
As inexpensive as the 'dots' are this is a good arrangement. Downside: my Echo Show 8 units don't 'hear' very well a) if there's even medium ambient noise or b) if I'm to the side or behind the Echo.
Great to see you back with a very fair review. I love the audio quality of my HomePod’s and if only Apple would give in and allow built-in support for other music services it would be the best choice for Apple users by some way.
Man I love your video! You make me laugh and you answer to my questions. (Damn I love this track too!!! lol) I wish there was a pod with the apple sound/design and the alexa fonction's !! What a good mix that would be. Thank you so much for this entertaining review! I'm in love.
Man you should be a movie star seriously, I was watching this video cause im interested in getting a homepod and if it were some other dude saying the same things you are i would have clicked away to some other video but i kept on watching because you are just entertaining to watch. I like your comedic style. Keep it up you have talent.
Because of all your videos on the HomePods, I’ve decided to replace my current setup with two white HomePods. Audio is my primary focus too, and I’m an Apple user so to me it’s a given that Siri is basic, so it really does work better for me. Thank you for all your efforts and feedback on your experience with HomePod that I could get that clear for myself. I’m curious tho. In your first video you had a space grey HomePod. I assume that you ended up swapping it out and am curious why you decided to do so. Cheers!
Hey there, I picked up the Echo studio earlier this week as I was curious about the 3D audio, which you made no mention of in this video, and the ATMOS compatibility when paired to certain FireTV products (which I currently can't comment on) For smart assistants I've chosen both Google and Amazon over apple, I just find they can do more, and are compatible with a wider range of products. I use Apple products a well, but after seeing Siri through the phone, ipad, and the Mac, I just felt it was too limited compared to the others. I can't comment on HomePod, as I haven't gotten one, but I can say, how music sounds depends on so many factors, the recording, and master, the mix, how the equalize is set on equipment, type and genre of music, etc. I have a JBL Pulse 3, a second BT speaker from Onn, a couple of sound bars with a dedicated sub, and rear speakers for true 5.1, an echo plus 2nd and echo dot 3rd, plus the Studio. I find in all fairness, that each device services different types of music equally different so each device can sound equally good or bad based on those factors. Anyway love the video, and have a great day!
Mark my words, your channel is going to blowwww uppppp. You added some great personality to the tech review. Only thing I might like to see (personally) is some HD B-roll of whatever your'e reviewing. Keep it up!!!
I got a HomePod recently and very happy with it some songs as loud as I can actually turn it down some songs I can’t get loud don’t know if it just depends.
I have 2 Echo Studios paired for Home Theater with the Firestick 4k...if you want Dolby Atmos...the studio echos will blow your mind. After watching this video.... I’m still not sold on the HomePod. The Studios offer a brighter, crisp sound and thumping bass - great when you watch movies, sports, news, and all types of music. Love this review but I would say go for the Studios instead.
Nice review! I couldn’t agree more with your conclusions. The HomePod is a true hi fidelity speaker. Siri doesn’t work well enough but I put up with it because of the sound. Heck I am considering buying a couple of more. One to make a stereo pair and one for the bedroom.
Hey Efron great video I loved it!! But I think you forgot 1 important point which is price. The HomePod is $300 meanwhile the Studio is $200 so for the price Conscious consumers that might mean a lot, not to mention for the price of 2 homepods (600$) in stereo mode for even more great sounds you can get 2 echo studios for stereo plus a echo sub which will help out with the low end for $530.
I just subscribed...the comparison was fantastic. But I’m sure anyone who watches this will agree that what made this video GREAT was your entertaining presentation dude you simply have this down👍🏾👍🏾
So in My country Apple has just announced that it is gonna start selling Homepod so do you think if Sound Quality is my first priority with some Smart Speaker Features I should stick to Homepod ? But I get confused thinking Amazon Speaker is just so freakin smart !! That is when I get in a Fix ? So what do you suggest ?
Design wise, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the cylindrical design of the Echo released before the HomePod? So then, it would be the HomePod that took styling cues from Echo?
Great job Efron! I went Echo Studio for the smarts and advanced capabilities. I use it in my office and its a much better assistant than I used to be :)
Have you tried the echo studio with 3D music against it though? Not sure what difference it would make but if you’re pitting these two against each other surely you should be testing the maximum capabilities of each rather than bringing the echo down to the home pods level by just using Bluetooth?
Kyle Clevenger well in the video he says he can’t stream Spotify on the HomePod like he can on the echo studio, so for a level playing field he used Bluetooth on both I think! So yeah, not using the full potential of either
Does the the echo studio allow you to pair with other devices and listen to something other than just amazon music or pandora like the Echo Sub pair? I have my house cleaning playlist (5 years old mp3 playlist lol )on my phone and I can't use it on my sub pair. But if I use "play everywhere" (2- echo shows, 2- 3rd gen Echo's) it works but the sub is not connected. Amazon won't update their products to be compatible with never speakers. So Fire TV and Firesticks won't connect to sub either.
A very fair review and comparison. Would have liked to know if the Amazon device can be stereo paired like the Apple ones. And do they monitor their position in the room like the HomePods do too? Also, I know you have a HomePod in each colour: does the white variant show up dirt much over time? Thanks EE.
Yes the Studio can be paired for stereo, Yes they monitor their position too. I cant agree with your 'fair review' statement. He didnt use all the Studios features to do a well rounded review. Limited the audio on the Studio to bluetooth quality because that's all the home pod can do... (probably wouldn't of made a massive difference but still.) Also didnt test the 3D audio that is built in to the Studio. Even if there is limited 3d music at the moment would of been nice to have a comparison to standard audio :/ First and last time viewer of this channel :(
I watched this from my I phone 8 plus and the HomePod sound test sounded better . How many watts does each speaker have ? I was thinking of getting the amazon studio speaker - now not so sure - lol
I won't lie, man, this is by far the best tech reviewer that I've come across with the sheer fact you've actually made me laugh while looking at products. Great job!
"tens of you" killed me
That was pretty funny
Hey siri, that pritty good
Siri: I'm unable to do that.
Yeah, shocking.
By far, the most entertaining tech reviews on the internet!!!
What a guy 🍻
Yeah he is gonna make it
I've never seen this guy before but after like 15 secs i was already entertained. His facial expressions are classic!!! Subbed after seeing the 10:00 mark. Awesome!
*the most annoying
Agree
Your facial expressions during the whisper test killed me! Great review, subscribed!

I like the versatility that the Echo Studio offers and the sound is great in both speakers

Seriously, such a great review! Thanks for your impressions man! Loved it!
Love your video’s, personality and energy. “I love girth, favorite artist is Girth Brooks” 😂
Dude. Keep doing what your doing. What a stellar personality. Great review. Just checking out some of your older vids. Thanks.
Man, you're awesome! I've never smiled as many times viewing a product review video as watching this :)
When you asked Siri who’s Steve Jobs, it was listening to you before you asked her
Exactly! Although, try asking Siri now. It doesn’t work when you do it properly either, so that was pretty fair in a way.
Man I love your video! You make me laugh and you answer to my questions. (Damn I love this track too!!! lol) I wish there was a pod with the apple sound/design and the alexa fonction's !! What a good mix that would be. Thank you so much for this entertaining review! I'm in love.
After watching your review in dec 2021 … bought 2 home pods …. Just want to say thank you so much …..
You are right, i have the homepod for a week now and mann i am love with the sound
Instant sub. Great review, truly enjoyed it more than the more popular tech reviewers out there. Great job!!
Man you should be a movie star seriously, I was watching this video cause im interested in getting a homepod and if it were some other dude saying the same things you are i would have clicked away to some other video but i kept on watching because you are just entertaining to watch. I like your comedic style. Keep it up you have talent.
Oddly enough I thought about him just last week and was wondering where he went…good to have you back EEeee
Very good review. I liked they way you moved exactly with the beat. Very entertaining
First time watching one of your videos. I did not expect this to be so funny 😂😂😂 SUBSCRIBED!
I had to like the video as soon as i heard the end song! great content and nice choice of songs!
What’s the song??
Thank you so much. I was thinking about sell my HomePod. Now I’m sure. It’s stays with me forever ❤️
Keep doing what your doing. Tech and comedy onto a winner. Love your videos. Big up Girth Brooks!

Since this has been uploaded, siri has gotten WAY smarter at answering questions.
Who's Siri?😂
@@AndersonERockefeller i hope you’re joking 🤣
This man is very funny to watch. He is hilarious without making much effort. Straight sub
Welcome my friend
Never seen you before and I’m not one to usually sub after watching half a video but I don’t wanna loose you 😂 so entertaining bro 🔥

Thank you!

Thank you Mark, this Bud’s for you 🍺
I got a HomePod recently and very happy with it some songs as loud as I can actually turn it down some songs I can’t get loud don’t know if it just depends.
Such a great and funny video man, keep it up
Great video man, very helpful, and hilarious!
Awesome and hilarious review. The facial expression 😂
Note to self: Don’t watch this video when “Hey Siri” is on...
I have 2 Echo Studios paired for Home Theater with the Firestick 4k...if you want Dolby Atmos...the studio echos will blow your mind. After watching this video.... I’m still not sold on the HomePod. The Studios offer a brighter, crisp sound and thumping bass - great when you watch movies, sports, news, and all types of music. Love this review but I would say go for the Studios instead.
Thanks! Ordered the HomePod.
The echo studio has actual bass and treble controls in the Alexa app or you can tell Alexa to turn those up and down
Thank you for the video.
Now you should test the stereo sound. 😉
Greetings from Germany.
Do you have playlists that include 199x track you used?
Home Pod Baby! Bought mine cause of your original review!! Keep it going.
your video has the best presentations, no doubt
loved the reactions and real life based review! Keep up the good work! 👏
You rock!!! It took me one video to sub and I just continue watching! 😆
I wish other RUclipsrs test these kind of products like this guy.
Great review thanks brother!
I subbed because of the song. Give em the love... My man. Good stuff. Great review as well buddy. Ill be watching.
Why did i watch this 4 times in a row? I have a homepod! Cause your just f'n entertaining brotha, keep it up!
This is for you D 🌹
By far, the most passionate tech reviews on the internet!!! 🙂
These are both really nice smart speakers. Great review.
Nice review! I couldn’t agree more with your conclusions. The HomePod is a true hi fidelity speaker. Siri doesn’t work well enough but I put up with it because of the sound. Heck I am considering buying a couple of more. One to make a stereo pair and one for the bedroom.
Bro your videos are entertaining, love your personality lmfao!
Great review and kept me smiling.
Thank you my English friend. If you liked this check out my video podcast ruclips.net/video/Rgo1ITnbLcc/видео.html
Bravo! thank You for this review:)
Your a legend. Love your reactions. Good video, thanks for this.
You sir are a legend.
Hey Efron great video I loved it!! But I think you forgot 1 important point which is price.

I've got 2 Echo Shows, and 3 Echo Dots. The Echo Studio will be my next addition. Great video!
Totally agree with your assessment
I didn't expect those sound test results but I have to agree with you. Thanks alot, I will put my money onto some other amazon echo products instead!
They sound exactly the same when you’re listening to this video
on a HomePod lol
HomePod vocals missed; vocals and highs were muffled; must have had COVID mask on. Listen again..
That's because HomePod favors HomePod.
I just subscribed...the comparison was fantastic. But I’m sure anyone who watches this will agree that what made this video GREAT was your entertaining presentation dude you simply have this down👍🏾👍🏾
Nice review! no doubt about your review! by the way what is name of song?
I have 2 echo studios just got them yesterday and set them up today in stereo mode they sound great and that’s not playing HD music.
Any chance you could repeat this review with the gen 2 HomePod? Thank you.
How will will the HomePod work for a TV in a small apartment if I have to set it off to the side of the TV?
Dude you really good at this 🙌🏻
So in My country Apple has just announced that it is gonna start selling Homepod so do you think if Sound Quality is my first priority with some Smart Speaker Features I should stick to Homepod ? But I get confused thinking Amazon Speaker is just so freakin smart !! That is when I get in a Fix ? So what do you suggest ?
I love your facial expressions, hilarious 😆
Can the echo just connect as a normal speaker without the Alexa app
Wow how is this guy only on 20k subscribers. So hilarious 😂😂😂 keep the content coming
you made me a fan of the song
Design wise, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the cylindrical design of the Echo released before the HomePod? So then, it would be the HomePod that took styling cues from Echo?
I NEED THAT SHIRT!! Where did you acquire it!?
Got a HOmePod a few days ago and it sounds amazing!
lol dude, “tens of you have been asking for this video…” 🤣🤣🤣
Love your vids, please keep churning out more
my first time here and I'm loving the song!!!!
Great job Efron! I went Echo Studio for the smarts and advanced capabilities. I use it in my office and its a much better assistant than I used to be :)
Thank you jack I agree Alexa is FAR smarter. Not even close lol
Have you tried the echo studio with 3D music against it though? Not sure what difference it would make but if you’re pitting these two against each other surely you should be testing the maximum capabilities of each rather than bringing the echo down to the home pods level by just using Bluetooth?
Down to homepods level? HomePod doesn’t use Bluetooth, it plays over WiFi. The echo studio wants to be a HomePod so bad but failed.
Kyle Clevenger well in the video he says he can’t stream Spotify on the HomePod like he can on the echo studio, so for a level playing field he used Bluetooth on both I think! So yeah, not using the full potential of either
Does the the echo studio allow you to pair with other devices and listen to something other than just amazon music or pandora like the Echo Sub pair?

Two Echo Studios + the Echo Sub = Superb.
A very fair review and comparison. Would have liked to know if the Amazon device can be stereo paired like the Apple ones. And do they monitor their position in the room like the HomePods do too?

First and last time viewer of this channel :(
Forgot to mention you can pair 2 studios and a separate Echo Sub too.
I throughly enjoyed your review and lol'd a few times. Thank you.
Awesome review, just earned yourself a sub
I think you need to play either UHD or 3D music on the studio to really give a fair review and comparison
the HomePod really packs a punch.. A very Awesome video..subscribed
I watched this from my I phone 8 plus and the HomePod sound test sounded better .
How many watts does each speaker have ? I was thinking of getting the amazon studio speaker - now not so sure - lol
Great review. Very informative. New sub!
I purchased a homepod after watching your "single homepod" review. Then another folloiwng your "stereo homepod" review. They are brilliant.
FYI YOU CAN CHANGE THE SOUND SETTINGS ON THE E STUDIO AND MAKE IT LOUDER.
thank you sir for the song ♥️
