I love the idea of being able to send messages or FaceTime call from the device I think probably for me the best bet would get some thing like the mini because I didn’t find the music experience to be that great on the bigger HomePod as I said, I’m not a bass head, so it really wasn’t geared towards someone like myself. I’ve never had the issues Donna had with Sonos, so I’m not sure what’s up with that. It could be that she’s using the old legacy Sonos speakers, and I have the newer ones not sure. I just don’t necessarily like the whole HomePod because it’s another link to keep me in the Apple ecosystem as they can’t do Bluetooth or casting or anything outside of airplay. I just don’t wanna be trapped by the wall garden that much especially as Apple continually gets more buggy, and there becomes somewhat more of a reason for me to leave.

I have not heard the HomePod in person, but do own a couple of HomePod minis.
I also have 2 of the Sonos 1 speakers. With Airplay 2 it is quite nice to get the minis and Sonos talking with each other.
Start music in the kitchen and then tell SIRI to Play it in the Living Room.
I'm just using the Sonos assistant on the two Sonos ones that I have in the living room, and Siri for now is working though I'm hoping come WWDC in June there's some improvements To the entire experience with Siri!

I bought one and brought it in and tested. I didn’t like it. Too much bass. Even when I turned off the base option in the Home app, it still just sounded tinny then. I much prefer what Sonos is offering. Also, Siri still does her miraculous things like on it still searching. It’s just not for me until Apple fixes this stuff.

I didn't hear them personally, but it's my understanding and my observations over an Internet connection that the new HomePods have a more brighter sound, and do sound a little cleaner. Everyone who I've heard that owns these devices, loves them and feel that the investment into them is well worth it. Hope this helps a little! Have a beautiful day and safe travels.

Oh great! Looking forward to listening to it. But I’m actually about to be in transit to the local Apple store, or I should say nearest Apple store, which is about two hours away. Any chance you could summarize your Takeaway? Thanks, Donna Sent from my iPhone On Mar 30, 2023, at 10:11 AM, Michael Babcock <michael@payown.media> wrote:
Hi Donna!
We did a podcast recording of the new home pods, vs the previous gen and HomePod MINI on the IA Cast at this link. I hope it helps! On Mar 30, 2023, at 7:30 AM, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> wrote:
Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to try out the latest gen HomePods yet. If yes, thoughts? Are they worth the upgrade?
TIA,
Donna
