RE: apple's equivalent of the echo
Hi, Are they play 1 or sonos 1 devices? Only the sonos 1 or the latest of the sonos speakers have alexa built in, So the play 1 and play 3& 5 don’t have alexa built in. I did wonder if the amazon echo devices would allow you to use the sonos play devices by alexa, but I’ve never been able to get it to work or figure it out. So if your smaller speakers are sonos 1 then alexa will work for you. Play 3 I don’t believe will.

RE: apple's equivalent of the echo
Hi Robert, Well, I have a Sonos Beam and love the sound for music and MLB games. However, on our Amazon Fire TV, the Beam doesn’t sound as good by a long shot. I heard about the ARC, the newest incarnation from Sonos, but I just purchased the Beam last year, and I’m not ready to buy another speaker! Best Regards, Les From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Robert Carter Sent: Sunday, July 26, 2020 9:36 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: apple's equivalent of the echo Hi, Of course, how audio sounds is quite subjective. I have both a Sonos system consisting of two play 5 speakers, a sub, and their TV sounder. I also have two HomePods setup in a stereo pair. To me, I actually prefer the sound of the HomePod stereo pair to all of these Sonos speakers. Don’t get me wrong, the Sonos speakers sound really good. To me the two HomePods sound even a bit better. I was really surprised by this. I assumed that all of these Sonos speakers would blow the two small HomePods out of the water. Not the case in my ears.

Re: apple's equivalent of the echo
Hi, Of course, how audio sounds is quite subjective. I have both a Sonos system consisting of two play 5 speakers, a sub, and their TV sounder. I also have two HomePods setup in a stereo pair. To me, I actually prefer the sound of the HomePod stereo pair to all of these Sonos speakers. Don’t get me wrong, the Sonos speakers sound really good. To me the two HomePods sound even a bit better. I was really surprised by this. I assumed that all of these Sonos speakers would blow the two small HomePods out of the water. Not the case in my ears.

I have an echo and mine is working great. I have never used the Apple home pod which is Apple's answer to the smart speaker, but every review that I have read about it says that it does not have nearly as man features as the Amazon Echo or Google Home, also, you can play Apple music on your amazon echo.

RE: apple's equivalent of the echo
Again, it depends on the type of questions you're asking. I have access to Alexa, Siri, and a Google Home and find that Alexa consistently answers the type of questions I'm asking. But like all things, these digital assistants have a learning curve and I've no doubt gotten better at phrasing my questions with Alexa who I use most often. She seems much more adept at specifying calendar dates when asked for the third Tuesday of a particular month for example. And if I'm remembering the price of the Home Pods correctly, I suspect a couple of them cost you between $600 and $700 which is not insignificant and a lot more than my four Echo devices.

Re: apple's equivalent of the echo
I have really given up on the echo for answering most questions. Google is better in my opinion. And my Google mini only cost me 20 bucks. I wouldn’t listen to Sirius music on it. But for questions, and other voice only listening, it’s fine. Most people in the tech press got it all wrong when it came to HomePod. They said it was just another smart speaker and it fell short with regard to Alexa and Google.. But that was never apples point. They all have their uses.

Re: apple's equivalent of the echo
Another option is the google home which I own. My mom got it for me as a gift. I like it because I can listen to music from youtube which you can't do with the echo. I also use mine to answer questions, as well as help me get the correct spelling of words when I'm composing email messages. It all depends on how you are going to use your preferred device. Music also sounds very nice through my google home.

Re: apple's equivalent of the echo
Well, considering your investment in your two Home Pods, I would agree that the sound quality of music, etc should greatly exceed the sound of an Echo. I primarily use my Echos as an online digital library and enjoy its ability to answer my questions accurately. I think Amazon's system works better and more accurately for this sort of use and considering it came along about three years after Siri, I expect it will just continue to excel over time.

Re: apple's equivalent of the echo
Janet, I thought Apple's digital assistant is Siri. I would strongly recommend you stick with the Amazon Echo rather than investing in a Home Pod running Siri. All of these devices and systems have issues from time to time but my opinion is that the Amazon Echo is the best of the lot.
