    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.

    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....

  • @BizTechSherpa
    @BizTechSherpa 4 года назад +13

    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.

  • @jacobbnjmn
    @jacobbnjmn 4 года назад +7

    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.

    • @JimzAuto
      @JimzAuto 4 года назад +2

      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.

  • @norman-king
    @norman-king 4 года назад +2

    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.

    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!

    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.

    @stebirchall1131 4 года назад +8

    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?

    • @kylesvideos59
      @kylesvideos59 4 года назад

      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.

    • @stebirchall1131
      @stebirchall1131 4 года назад +2

      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

  • @GGCanLove409
    @GGCanLove409 4 года назад

    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.

    • @itsme81912
      @itsme81912 4 года назад +1

      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 :(
