> Create stereo sound with a second HomePod.
That seems really lazy [edit: making you buy a whole second thing instead of just a speaker]. What will they do next? Sell iMacs instead of external monitors?
- fastball 9y agoSound is literally not stereo unless there are two or more speakers...
- lower 9y agoYes, so maybe they could have offered a slave speaker instead of letting you buy the whole thing again?
- fastball 9y agoThe other smart speakers didn't even have multi-speaker support from the outset, much less slaves. Plus slaves in the same room don't really make much sense. I want my sound to be balanced. It's not really going to balance well if I have a tiny speaker on one side of the room and a big one on the other.
- tga 9y agoThe HomePod already has eight speakers inside.
- thomassnielsen 9y agoThe HomePod does channel differentiation with one device, but for true wide stereo you need two.
