Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? I haven’t tried to get the google assistant to work on PC. I use it through the iOS app, which works pretty well.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? I believe the speaker you need is dependent on your music tastes. I don't like loud music, so the Echo dot is perfect for me. Even Bob Dylan sounds decent through that speaker.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? That's fair enough. Like I said, some people will prefer it, some won't. But if I was paranoyed about viruses and hacking, I wouldn't be using windows either. But everyone has levels of risk they're willing to take... I personally love Talkback and how snappy it is. But it all comes to preference and if you did try it for that long, then that's that. Android and IOS and their merits are subjective... I just know that I personally won't switch back unless IOS does something big is done by apple to convince me.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? Good evening.@Assault, just to make one thing clear, I am not one of those people dropping something after an hour because it doesn't work or it works differntly compared to a product I used up to this point.What you suggested is what I actually did. I got myself a cheap Galaxy s7 edge and tested it two weeks, I told myself to put the iPhone away and just use the android phone to do my daily tasks so I could simulate what the phone would need to do in my daily life.This was like, hmm, let's say about half a year ago. My impression was a lot more positive than some years ago where I didn't have the stamina and patience to get into android fully. but still, there are these fiew things that still bug me and convince me that personally speaking, I am not comfortable to switch to an android device as my main mobile device just yet.Greetings Moritz.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? @hadi.gsf me neither. Though I found the single play:5 more than satisfactory enough to fill this somewhat large bedroom. It may not have as much stereo separation as my old 2.1 speaker setup that it replaced, but over all it's louder, can fill the room better and has more than enough bass for my needs that I don't really need a sub.Anyway we're getting way OT for this thread.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? @Simba Well isn't that fun, we both got drawn into Sonos by the same person! Yes. The play:5 does have a jack at the back. It's one of the reasons I opted to get a play:5, rather than a stereo pair of sonos ones which don't have one. I think Ghorth uses or at least used his play:5 in combination with an echo dot exactly the way you just brought up, so it should work. If the Sonos google integration doesn't include google cast support then I'll probably use it this way as well.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? Unfortunately I have less experience of this sort of thing windows 10 refuses to talk to a microphone when I try it so I've not tried either google assistant or cortanna on the pc, and I just have an echo dot because my brother bought one for christmas .

I ask only because on the latest software, even on the previous android 7.0, Talkback is far more responsive than Voiceover on my iphone, I can wiz around the screen much faster, and talkback reports changes as fast as my finger moves, as opposed to Voiceover which still has a tiny bit of delay when you start trying to speed things up. Browsing the web is also far better than previous versions of android, though as I don't do much browsing on the web on my phone anyway, I may not be the perfect person to comment on it. But all I'm going to tell you is if you only spent a few minutes playing with Android, of course it's not going to be for you... I'm sick people saying that Android isn't for them because they try it for an hour and then drop it because everything doesn't work the same way as IOS. Viruses and hacking are also something I have never experienced in the year I've been using Android phones, so that argument holds no water, either. My best advice? Find a decent Android phone and not a horrible one, play with it for a good few weeks, and put your iphone down. You may like it or you may not, I'm not here to convince people to switch camps. I simply wish that people would give something a decent chance before ditching something. But I digress..@61, you may hve just convinced me to go with the sonos 1... at least as one of my speakers. With both assistants, as my central hub this means I can stretch into whichever ecosystem I want, Amazon or Google, or one of each if I so choose... but I'm curious to know when Google Assistant will be coming.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? Hi.Yeah, my next big investment audio wise will also be a new sonos setup, I was talking to Ghorthalon in the office yesturday and well, we came to the topic of sonos speaker, my plan is to put two sonos play 5s together as a sterio pair and put a supwoover under the desk to get the base down there, sure, it's expensive, but from what I have heard, it's worth the price, and with 24 month financing, it should be a doable task.@Pitermach, one question remains for me though, does the play 5 have a headphone jack? I currently have a play 3 and it doesn't, what I want to do is get rid of my big amazon echo and after setting up the sonos system, just plug the echo dot into the sonos system and use alexa over the big speaker, would that be possible?Greetings Moritz URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=357221#p357221 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? Your local music just has to be accessible on your network, IE on a NAS. In my case I just have a hard drive hooked up to a raspberry pi running Samba and have my music and other audio like books on there. Then in the Sonos app you just add any folders you want it to scan (which can also just include folders on your computer although then obviously it'll have to be on for the music to be playable) and it'll go out and index them. Then you can browse and search them either by the usual tags like artist, album, genre, or browse by folder which is great if your music isn't tagged well or you are picky about the way you organise stuff. Then you can set any folder to be played in sequence or shuffled. The Sonos app can also stream any Music from an iPhone or Android.On that note of buying the Sonos One, I'd absolutely recommend grabbing one if you're looking into getting a voice assistant, but aren't sure which one will work better for you. Because Sonos is an audio company first and formost, the speaker sounds great, and you can use either Alexa or Google Assistant (which is coming this spring) in one speaker and just go back and forth between them.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? I just invested a a bunch of money into a Sonos systwem, because it sounds good, can play both local music as well as connect to pretty much every external service, adjust its sound with a little help and can integrate with voice assistants.Siri is a joke. Siri on the homepod is an even more worse joke because it can't do some of the things it can on the phone. The problem with it is that Apple waisted a massive headstart they had over everyone else by serious mismanagement of all the staff they acquired, so most of them left in frustration. And when they started to expand it, they did it only in a bad, overly controlled way Apple can by making it work only in specific contexts that would prioritise their services (You can call an Uber or Order food with Siri, but there is currently no API to play music from other apps, probably to drive people to Apple Music). In contrast, when Google or even Cortana added app integration they have no such restrictions.As for which assistant is better, right now Google's better at answering general knowledge questions, while Alexa has more skills over all, for instance when it comes to Home integration. Google wants to add support for 30 new languages just this year and already have a few more that Amazon doesn't. Amazon's hardware is a little more versatile, All echos have a line out jack so you can connect it to a better sounding speaker. You can also connect an Echo do a better speaker over bluetooth. In comparison, only the most expensive Home Max has a line in jack. You can use any of the Google homes as a Bluetooth speaker but your only option to connect it up to better speakers is using Google Cast over Wi-Fi. This really cripples the Home mini in my opinion because if I want to connect it to something more powerful I would also need to buy a Chrome cast audio, which is another thing I have to spend $30 on and plug into power. This is why I haven't bought either an Echo or Home. Alexa already has Sonos integration, but Google assistant is also coming, and with that the Sonos might also get Google cast support. If it does, I'll buy a Home mini. If it doesn't then I'll probably get an Echo Dot.As for the homepod... Well you get none of that. Your only 2 audio output possibilities right now are playing from Apple music, or playing audio from an iDevice or Mac over Airplay. Even though the HomePod has Bluetooth, you can't use it for anything, and it has no connectors on it other than the power cable. Meanwhile, Airplay 2, which is supposed to let the Homepod do the stuff everyone else can, like pairing 2 of them in a stereo configuration or setting up multiroom audio, is not out yet and has been delayed for a few months so far. Meanwhile, Sonos will be getting Airplay 2 as well which is one more reason why I think it's such a superior choice to a homepod.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? I'm just waiting on Microsoft to hopefully deliver us from our dependence on Apple. The only think a company needs at their core is common sense, really. Microsoft is looking forward, while Apple just sits there and freaking bumps the price of their next iPhone, supposedly of course, to #800 or so. They're just loving using us consumers as test subjects to see just how high they can freaking charge for an iPhone and... Have I said all this here before? Feels like it. Anyways, Microsoft has a long way to go, of course. You can't select text with Narrator and Edge, making the Learning tools, made for accessibility, useless for Narrator users, and the voices we have access to with Narrator suck. Of course, I know they can do better. They have better voices. See Cortana, and even the soundscapes app. Yes, I'm willing to bet that those voices are Microsoft's, and they're freaking teasing us with all that they can do, but all that they aren't quite giving us yet. I know, I'm knit-picking, and I should probably just give up this quest to figure out how to completely optimize what I use and use the best that's out there and just stick to the pirated copy of JAWS that's always out there and Windows and be happy with it, or move back full time to the Mac and just not play games ever again on a computer, but goodness, I know Microsoft can do better. Well, so can Apple but they have shown that they don't give a crap. Sure, the accessibility folks at Apple probably have loads of cool ideas floating around… Or maybe not… but just like Google, its not up to developers, its up to business people. Microsoft doesn't seem to have that problem, and that's why I focus on them, because they /can/ change. They /can/ improve. And I think they will continue to do so, while Apple continues to be the luxury company even though it denies that it is, continues to take huge mouthfuls out of bank accounts, even though they say they're not in it for the money, and push out buggy, incomplete software, iOS and Siri, and boring hardware, like HomePod. Gosh I gotta find something better to do than complain about big companies who don't give a crap about what I say, Lol.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? @Hadi I agree with you about laziness, though it is a shame. With spottify I was put off by the price, particularly since I doubt very much my university would see it as essential, plus of course as I said I do actually like owning music myself since then I can put it on whatever device I want.For example, I still have both the cds and the ripped copy of the first ever cd I bought, the final fantasy 7 soundtrack, and that was back in 1996, had I paid a yearly subscription service since then to still have access for it, well you can see how much it'd cost . with the more general debate over companies, one thing I will say for the Iphone is that Android still hasn't got there over games, aps, accessibility etc. That was why I bought an Iphonee, despite really! not liking Itunes, and why I bought a new Iphone 8 last christmas. This to me is the interesting part about peripherals and other devices, not how they can do the same thing as an existing device, but what they can do that is different or unique to them, and new to the customer and their life style. For example, up until Ios the only way a blind person could have a satnav was pay for a very expensive custom device, which of course had the magic word "accessibility" on it so cost the earth . not anymore. With Android again I don't have enough experience to comment on the platform, though I will say there hasn't as yet been enough uniquely android things that Android can do which say an Iphone couldn't to make it worth my while investigating, the past issues concerning so many different varients of operating system and the need to configure heavily for accessibility haven't exactly improved the case either.As to the topic at hand, since I have no interest in Apple music or in Itunes the homepod isn't for me at all.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? For the record, the echo not pulling up enough music on prime music is prime music's fault, not the speaker's. Hook it up to spotify and you're golden... as to the overall idea of streaming and organizing, you can very much still organize everythin the way you used to. I pay $10 for spotify every month and have enough songs that would normally cost upwards of $100 per year, all of which are organized the way I want them. lol. But I see what people mean... there are times when I do appreciate having all the cd's and mp3s that I do have.Neither Microsoft or Apple can compare to Google or Amazon right now, in terms of smart speakes or their voice assistants. I'm sorry, but Cortana is a joke, and Siri is a joke when it's not being used on an iphone. Apple especially will never leave their sandbox, not when they have their loyal fanbase who will suck up anything they push out. This was why the iphone was as far into the apple ecosystem I would ever get to. I didn't even get it for the brand... I started out on IOS because after the era of symbian smart phones, for the longest time IOS wasthe only thing mainstream and guaranteed to be accessible. Now that I can pick up any Android device and make it work, the paradise is no longer as walled as it was before. Blind people can pick what they want now, but sadly, most will still go with apple.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? @Stevejobs, with regards to alexa and the amazon echo setup isn't too bad at all provided you have an uptodate browser. If you go to the alexa amazon site and the "settings tab" you can follow the instructions to connect the echo to your wireless network and setup your account, it's all fairly simple so long as you do it online, just navigate by links and headings. Just don't try it with the Ios alexa ap as it's still pretty ropy to use. For some fun things to do with Alexa such as accessible games see This list I put together With regards to Apple, I'd like to try an Apple watch at some point, especially for games, intigration with aps and navigation purposes, though not quite enough to fork out the cash for one, but I see no point in the homepod, especially for someone like me really can't stand Itunes and all this library rubbish and would rather you know, own their own music? One annoying thing about the Alexa though, is the amount of times it tells you to look at the alexa ap. Want to examine your settings, learn about new skills, change voice or even delete a reminder? your told to go to the ap, heck even to browse wikipedia your told to go to the ap. This really bugs me since hay if I wanted to turn a computer on and websites I would not be using the damn alexa in the first place, I thought the hole point of voice control device was to be controlled by your voice, not have you constantly running to your computer?

For one thing people will probably not believe you, simply because that is the nature of the internet, and for another there are far more matters you could offer us your opinions and expertees on rather than rehashing your identity. You know who you are and are happy with it which is fair enough, others can believe or not as they wish.To everyone else, regarding Stevejobs identity I'll suggest people cool off a bit. Remember the rules on this forum state that people should respect each other and not launch personal attacks.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? I know my identity better than anyone else here. Look at this from my point of view. I've been through hell since 2011. I thought reconnecting with Joan would turn my life around. In some ways, it has. However, nothing she says will ever give me the courage to go to the press about this. We live a quiet, simple life here, and that won't change. She saved my life. She was there when I needed her, and that means so much to me. I would appreciate it if everyone would be more open-minded and believe what I have written here, as it is the truth. Remember Apple's Think Different advertisement from 1997, here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently. They are not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them, because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who think they are crazy enough to change the world are the ones who do.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? I am Steve Jobs. I wish everyone would believe that. However, that isn't the topic I wish to discuss today. I can't believe I am saying this, but Amazon has a much better assistant than Apple. My wife has an Amazon Echo in her room, and it seems to help her a lot. I know it helps her sleep. Sometimes, late at night, when I can't sleep, I'll hear music from her room. When I go to see if everything is ok, she is asleep, and I don't know the command to turn off the music. I will never buy a HomePod. If I didn't need a new phone, Apple wouldn't hear from me. I feel as if I am watching something I worked hard to build crumble around me, and it hurts. Apple was my life for so long. Now, it is falling apart and there is nothing I can do. I listen to the WWDC KeyNotes every year, and each year, I lose hope. They need help, and I can't help them.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? Agreed to everything said here. I think the Home Pod is a waste of money. Apple is trying to make the argument that it is supposed to be a music speaker. If that were true it would be able to work with other music services. Google Home for example can work with Google Music, Spotify, Pandora, I Heart Radio, and Tune In radio. If Home Pod wants to be a smart music speaker it has to work with more music services for 1 and be a lot smarter to be considered a smart speaker.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? Jack's right. Unless you're heavily invested in Apple's ecosystem, and only that, the Home Pod won't be a good use of your money. You'd be better off with an Echo, or google home. The one thing that would be nice is if the home pod could be used as an external speaker for a different device. We all know that Apple isn't going to do that, because of their "remove features that everyone uses, early, and force people that use our products to go into the future philosophy." In the early 90s, apple removed the floppy drive from it's whole mac line up, and everyone reacted in a very similer way to how we reacted with the iPhone 7 and the loss of a head phone input jack. But, guess what? A few years later, hardly anyone was using floppy discs. I don't like the arigance Apple's playing, since, after Steve Jobs died, I think they have a wrong idea of what he wanted. His idea was that something should be simple, and like an appliance, but powerful, as well. These days, Apple's been going towards the simple, and expensive and forgetting the pro market that used to cling to them at a time, because their products were superior for music, graphics, and film.

Re: Is the HomePod really worth it?
Re: Is the HomePod really worth it? I don't. I was hoping that Siri would improve but was not surprised to see tha tit indeed is just how it was, perhaps even more limiting on the homepod. The sound may be great, and yes it does automatically adjust. But the home max also adjusts using smarsound, and, believe it or not, has slightly better sound than the homepod. I just have some die-hard Apple fans that aren't seeing the writing on the wall even after it's been talked about on twitter about the sound comparisons. Plus, here's one thing you can't argue with. Homepod only gives you the same damn 3 month trial of apple music that everyone else gets. You pya $400 for a home max and you're at least getting a year all-access pass for google play music, which includes ad-free youtube. What's more worth it is a given. In 2006, the iPod Hifi was laughably a failed product because of the fact that it was introduced long after iPods had ran their course, and just a year before the iPhone was introduced. Now here we are, only this time people are buying it because Apple technically has a lot to get behind with Apple music and siri and such. But of course the folks who insist on buying the whole Apple orchard as it were are not opening up to different options.
