I was not expecting that, but I'm in, I'll buy a pair for my office stereo then move my office HomePod to the lounge. I bought the first HomePod when they first came out and I heard it in the apple store and couldn't believe a single speaker was producing that sound. I use it constantly to play music in my office, set reminders and timers, asking about the weather and controlling the lights. I seem to be lucky in that Siri mostly understands what I'm saying. This is once piece of tech I just take for granted, it does what it does very well with no fussing. I'm really happy to see Apple bring out a new version. For me a smart speaker has to be a very good speaker first as my primary use for it is listening to music. Everything else is just icing on the cake and only really saves me from picking up my phone and authenticating to it to use Siri.
