Apple’s HomePod is actually a surprisingly good speaker. It’s definitely held back a bit by Siri, but in terms of sound quality it’s fantastic. Of course, it’s also insanely overpriced so there are a bunch of better options out there. In fact, the HomePod is so overpriced that you can get not one but TWO Sonos Play:1 speakers for $50 less than a single HomePod. But wait! You also get a free $30 Amazon gift card with your purchase, so you’re effectively paying $80 less than you would for one HomePod. How crazy is that!?
Here are the highlights from the product page:
- Works with Alexa for voice control (Alexa device sold separately)
