It's because their marketing is cramming the word "audiophile" in every sentence. Also it's $350, so should logically be compared to speakers that cost $350.

- headsoup 9y agoYeah exactly my point. People are now going to start arguing that the reviews are not 'audiophile' enough, even though the audiophile field has far more specific focus than what most people can appreciate considering hearing ability, genre interests, environment, past experiences and technical understanding. Basically Apple's formula: take something from an 'enthusiast' level of a product. Build a reasonable quality thing around that, slap on a 'upper consumer/lower enthusiast' price on it and market it as the 'the coolest thing of these ever made' and... You get all the mostly regular consumers suddenly arguing in the between space: they are better than all the other regular consumers but too cool to be an enthusiast nerd. GG Apple.
- brokenmachine 9y agoLol, spot on.
- sosborn 9y agohttps://www.apple.com/homepod/ https://www.apple.com/homepod/ I don’t see the word “audiophile” appear even once.
- brokenmachine 9y agoOk, point taken. > We completely reimagined how music should sound in the home. HomePod combines Apple-engineered audio technology and advanced software to deliver the highest-fidelity sound throughout the room, anywhere it’s placed. Give me strength. I'd need a bucket to read any more.

- headsoup 9y agoProbably closer to 'cramming audiophile terms into every sentence' + 'Amazing'
