Love your LEGO

Iโ€™m surprised how much the HomePod looks like the Sony connected speaker

Please do keep posting your findings !

I find myself checking these forums once in a while in the hope of finding a nice comparison between a BeoSound 1/2 and the HomePod.

No luck yet, but your posts come close ๐Ÿ˜•

I stopped reporting all my testing ... after all this is a B&O forum :)

However I would have appreciated KMAโ€™s feedback ...

What I will say is I am very happy with the HomePod being located in the Guest room with the exercise bike so I try to use both daily

Where Siri letโ€™s me down is after ~40 minutes of exercise ... but that may be because I am puffing ๐Ÿ˜คlike whale ๐Ÿณ at that stage BeoNut since '75

I'm getting there ๐Ÿ˜

I've been so busy with my summer house project that HomePod is still in the box, after all these weeks! Also, I've been HomeKit enabling my home, where HomePod will be the hub.

Yesterday I made a firmware update to power outlets around my place โ€“ which was a breeze, but I also thought it was funny: Power outlets with Firmware!

ETA for unboxing the HomePod: tomorrow, Easter Sunday. I'll be playing it side by side with BeoPlay A6 at first, and I'm excited about the sound comparison!

Power outlets with firmware...pretty much defines the concept of gilding the lily.

Just be thankful they're not BeoOutlets. The next s/w update would result in a blackout.

Beovirus victim, it's gotten to be too much to list!

Elgato's products work perfectly with Apple. A very positive user experience. I just wish I could rename Siri as "Honey", so that I could say things like "Hey Honey, I'm home!" to control scenes ๐Ÿ˜

I re watched Lucy the other night.

Itโ€™s a good flick.
