A $30 echo will do that. I have a few of those, why spend $200 for a HomePod if that’s all it is.

- conception 6y agoSounds much better and privacy
- jshen 6y agoPrivacy is an interesting dimension. I definitely wouldn’t trust google, but why trust Apple over Amazon?
- rahoulb 6y agoBecause Apple is making privacy a key differentiator across their entire product line. How private they actually are is a different matter, but certainly they talk a lot about how the data that is sent to their servers doesn't include IDs and can't be tracked back to you, even if it does get stored.
- steve_adams_86 6y agoI don’t own one personally, but I use one at the office daily. They sound incredible. I have some google smart speakers and they’re pretty underwhelming in terms of sound. The voice assistant is excellent, though. I’d much prefer the sound of the HomePod but it’s hard to justify the expense when I have something that works fine. If I could do it over, I’d absolutely spend way more for the better audio experience. While I use the assistant for things apart from music, music is still more than 99% of what comes out of that thing.
- Tagbert 6y agoI listen to music with mine and the sound is very good. Tried it with a friends Echo and... well it did play music but the sound was like a cheap radio.
