The size, weight, and design of the new HomePod did each change from the previous model. The key point is that those things didn\u2019t change enough to make a difference one way or another. The power cable is now easier to remove on this new one, but again, not a factor in whether to purchase or not.<\/p>\n<p>The few <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> controls all stayed the same. Tap on the top multi-color screen to toggle play and pause. Double-tap to skip songs. Or, press the plus and minus buttons to adjust the volume.<\/p>\n<p>The speaker is available in white or midnight colors. The midnight color on the iPhone and Apple Watch has a tendency to look blue in bright light. I didn\u2019t see the same thing here. In every lighting condition, the midnight color only looked black to me. You should consider it black when deciding between it and the white one.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sound_Great_in_the_Right_Spaces\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Sound: Great in the Right Spaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-144933\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/02\/bf47bb90.jpg\" alt=\"HomePod sitting on a cabinet showing its power cord\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new HomePod has a similar look to the first-generation but has a removable power cable this time.<span class=\"imagecredit\">Tyler Hayes \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In addition to the minor exterior changes from the first version of the HomePod, there are internal sound changes as well. There are fewer audio components inside, including two fewer microphones, but, surprisingly, it wasn\u2019t noticeable. Siri heard me say commands from anywhere in the room and even from the next room over.<\/p>\n<p>I spent a lot of time playing music and then switching from the original HomePod to this new one. The new model sounded very similar, and the times it didn\u2019t sound basically the same, it seemed to have slightly more resonance.<\/p>\n<p>I went through modern hits like \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4NRXx6U8ABQ\">Blinding Lights<\/a>\u201d by The Weeknd, \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/oygrmJFKYZY\">Don\u2019t Start Now<\/a>\u201d by Dua Lipa, and \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/diLp6hUqvVk\">Summertime Magic<\/a>\u201d by Childish Gambino, and the speaker handled these punchy pop hits beautifully.<\/p>\n<p>Acoustic folk songs were bright and delicate, and jazz songs had a rich mid-range. The HomePod was also able to handle the wide-ranging eclectic \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/2YDKxcdIXBs\">The Mandalorian<\/a>\u201d theme from Ludwig Goransson.<\/p>\n<p>While this new HomePod was a powerhouse of sound for its size, it had the best performance in smaller rooms. For example, in a 14- x 12-foot room with a 10-foot ceiling, the HomePod boomed and sounded sparkling. When I used it in a larger family room that had a 25-foot tall ceiling, the HomePod struggled to shine in the same way. As the volume was raised, the bass failed to pack the same punch it did when it could better reverberate off the walls.<\/p>\n<p>The HomePod, even from the first version, has used its microphones to automatically calibrate its sound. This happens automatically with no input needed from listeners. While it\u2019s hard to confirm, I suspect the HomePod may be trying to overcompensate in my larger space.<\/p>\n<p>Listening to music in the cavernous room wasn\u2019t a deal breaker or even bad, but it merely exposed that the HomePod had its limits. For comparison, a Sonos Five handled the same space with a more robust sound.<\/p>\n<p>One way to combat any fatigue of a single HomePod in a large open space is to add a second one and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/711465\/how-to-use-two-homepods-as-a-stereo-pair-with-the-apple-tv\/\">create a stereo pair<\/a>. I tried that, and the sum was certainly greater than the individual parts.<\/p>\n<p>Buying two HomePods for a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/772995\/best-home-theater-system\/\">$600 sound system<\/a> isn\u2019t outrageous. It sounded amazing. But the more practical use of the speakers would be to use them connected to an Apple TV 4K for home theater sound. Doing this yielded great audio results, but the setup process wirelessly to an Apple TV 4K box can be frustrating to troubleshoot if things don\u2019t work the first time.<\/p>\n<p>I think there are two minor things Apple could do to make a big difference. First, adding some kind of user-adjustable EQ or insight into its automatic room calibration could help audio edge cases. Second, a visual indicator of whether HomePod is delivering Dolby Atmos, 5.1, or 7.1 surround sound when connected as home theater speakers would go a long way.<\/p>\n<p>Adding those software features wouldn\u2019t significantly alter the HomePod\u2019s performance, but it would make the speaker more compelling and usable for those who do buy one.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smart_Home_Features_for_a_Smart_Speaker\"><\/span>Smart Home Features for a Smart Speaker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-144935\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20488dd5.jpg\" alt=\"A HomePod showing Siri activated on the top screen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Siri is more responsive with a faster chip inside, but not necessarily more accurate.<span class=\"imagecredit\">Tyler Hayes \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Siri is not any different on this HomePod than the assistant is on the first-generation HomePod or the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/shop-links.co\/link\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fapple-homepod-mini-space-gray%2F6377587.p%3FskuId%3D6377587&amp;publisher_slug=reviewgeek&amp;exclusive=1&amp;u1=144921&amp;article_name=Apple+HomePod+Second-Generation+Review%3A+Big+Sound+in+a+Small+Size&amp;article_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reviewgeek.com%2F%3Fp%3D144921\">HomePod mini. Siri is faster, however, on this new device which does make the feature a little more compelling than it has been on the other products.<\/p>\n<p>My so-called smart home with HomeKit-enabled\u00a0Philips Hue lights and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/786877\/best-smart-light-switch\/\">smart switches<\/a> went through an existential\u00a0crisis over the past several months, with certain elements not responding to voice commands as they have in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Even with a new HomePod in the house, those same issues taunted my family. Asking Siri to turn on or off\u00a0the living room lights was still hit or miss. All of us in the house did notice that the voice assistant responded faster, and commands were performed with more pep and gusto. That\u2019s likely thanks to the HomePod using an S7 Apple Silicon chip\u2014the same one as in an Apple Watch Series 7.<\/p>\n<p>The S6, S7, and S8 chips perform at about the same speeds and are a step up from the S5 chip that\u2019s in the HomePod mini. It might seem strange that the chip in a smartwatch is also powering wireless speakers, but the S5 in the mini was a step up from the first-generation HomePod in performance. The S7 in this new HomePod wasn\u2019t a slouch in rapid response times for queuing up music or answering questions.<\/p>\n<p>The 2023 HomePod also has a temperature and humidity sensor inside so it can perform automations based on that information. Want the Apple Home app to trigger a task when a room reaches a certain temperature? HomePod can now do that (and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/866140\/apple%E2%80%99s-homepod-is-back-with-new-features-and-a-lower-price\/\">so can the mini following a software update<\/a>). That worked well and was neat, but ultimately felt minor in the scope of the $300 price tag.<\/p>\n<p>Another nice addition is the Thread radio inside used to communicate with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/774403\/what-is-matter-and-how-will-it-transform-smart-homes\/\">Matter smart home products<\/a>.
