Well, i kinda got what it's trying to do when she said the first "ehem".. Kinda obvious that it's doing the build up and pretending to be smart just to not do what it's asked to do lol. I think Siri seriously needed a major overhaul before launching such a product, i mean even with it's full capabilities Siri is far behind in the smartness department compared to Alexa and Google Assistant, but i do feel like the voice of Siri became a lot less robotic. I do tech videos in a unique style. If you got some free time kindly do give my channel a try.
The HomePod seems like it’s crazy good for a small setup if you listen to a lot of music. But they still need a nice revamp for Siri. Thankfully they put in some nice tech so it can be upgraded via software with ease
Good video but you forgot to mention a few things about the Max that I find pretty important. • Max supports multi room audio (so does Echo) •Direct Chromecast support, including things like UA-cam, UA-cam TV, Google Photos, and more recently, visual responses (Echo does too but is more limited with FireTV) • Fairly frequent updates (to be fair we're not sure on the HomePod yet but considering its Apple I wouldn't be surprised if we only see a handful of updates a year, if that) • Super useful live support • An ability to request / suggest features! • Horizontal mode has stereo • Ability to pair two Max in a stereo pair • Also tunes settings to the placement of the speaker in the room automatically • Mic off button (unlike HomePod, like what?) • Can distinguish between multiple voices (along with Echo) • Aux in port • Bluetooth support • Can create more than one timer (what were you thinking Apple?) • Google Home app allows you to adjust the bass and treble manually
Logan Paulina I have an Echo next to my bed and it’s SUPER sensitive to it’s wake word. Even at a low volume it can pick up people saying the wake word.
I have two Echos and I stand by my decision that they are the most worth it for the price, especially since I have a bigger speaker system setup separate from them.
I have several Echo Dots, an Echo Show, Echo Plus and two Google Home minis. I love Alexa because I have smart home gadgets in every room of my home and Alexa work well with all of them plus I can bluetooth my music to better speakers in my house and the skills are a huge bonus.
I have a smart home with smart lights and switches in every room, smart thermostat, smart cameras etc and I want to be able to control any of my smart d vices from any of my rooms or four bedrooms. Plus you get stereo sound by doing everywhere and I can make call from any room without my phone, play skills and intercom to any room in my house and so much more, I love smart speakers!’
K.J. Littlejohn not even a excuse.. we’re not playing 20 questions with this shit lol playing music. Don’t like don’t buy it no one forcing anyone to buying these products.. amazon and google did great with the assistant BUT sound.. Apple got that one and that’s what it matters the most.. well for some people.
Andrew Mckibben nope just amazon or google if you want someone to talk to.. want better sound quality then Apple but of course you won’t tell the difference unless you have these in front of you doing a sound test.
kylecoolky no it doesn't deserve any time considering the price and the competition. The Google home Mini is $50 (on sale for $40 now) and can do more than the home pod now. Same with the Google home and home max but they cost more and sound better.
I love how he mutes himself when he says ok google, Alexa, and hey Siri! It makes it so i don’t have to mute Alexa! Thank you sooo much for doing that! ❤️🙂🙃
I use my personal assistant as, you know, a personal assistant. That means I use it for as many productivity tasks as I do for music. And in this area, nothing beats Alexa. I have the Echo Show, and with it, I keep an ongoing to do list, and at any time, I can ask it to show me the items on my to-do list. What's more, all of the echo devices recently gained the ability to create any list. So I've now started keeping a food journal I simply telling my echo, create food journal list. Then I simply tell her, add two Tacos to my food journal list. Being a tech fanatic, I really wanted to like the Google home when it came out, but it cannot do the productivity tasks that I can do with an echo.
I don’t think this is the right comparison here. Amazon echo is focused on the apps like Spotify, Pandora, other radio services and Amazon store results. Google Home is focused on those things plus Google search. Apple HomePod is focused on being a speaker, not a smart speaker device. HomePod is something to compare to Bose and Sonos products, its not in the same category as the smart speaker devices. They each are completely different and shouldn’t be compared to each other
Thank you so much for muting the names it is a big help since I have a Google home and Amazon echo in the same room that I was watching this video is so thank you Btw love the video
The one major advantage of the Echo Plus is that it has the control hubs for a lot of home smart home systems hard wired into itself - saving you for example having to spend the £49 on a Philips Hue hub. I think it replaces the need for a aeperate hub with all z-wave compatible systems. A major cost saving. For sound buy the Sonos One - has both Alexa and Google Home built in.
I feel like you downplayed the pricing a bit too much here. You can't really compare the quality of sound between a $170 device to devices that cost more than double. Of course you'll get better quality from the more expensive one. A comparison should have been made based on quality per price, not purely quality.
I have the Echo Dot and the Google Home Mini. The Echo Dot is more useful for me right now. Apple needs to make a smaller, more affordable version to reach non-Apple users, but if that's not one of their goals, no need.
As an Apple fan, I would have chosen the HomePod as it’s the best sounding (especially for its size), but it’s not as smart as Home Max so at that point it’s really just a Bluetooth speaker
Apple HomePod, as I am already heavily integrated into the Apple ecosystem. It’s the natural choice. Also, I love the way it looks. Simple, clean, small design.
The echo plus is much cheaper and there is a built in zigbee bridge... So the sound comparison was not fair and you must come on to the extra features of the devices... But it was a great video, to compare all assistants👍
I'm an Android and spotify user so home pod is out right away. Then it comes down to a Alexa vs Google assistant. I use a pixel phone and having the same assistant, connected to my Google home is great. And I'm deep in the Google ecosystem with 2 Chromecasts and all my smart lights work with it. In conclusion, I'm roped into the Google ecosystem and the Google home is good enough for me, and I like it over the Alexa
I really appreciate the unbiased comparisons. Admitting that each device has it's advantages and disadvantages/growing pains. Plus the frankenstein thought of mixing the best audio/aesthetic/assistant.
You do know that Amazon does not have its own Search Engine like Google does. So they cannot show bias when it comes to searching. The search results it gets it gets from Microsoft's Bing and Wikipedia. It cannot use Google to search for anything because I am sure Google won't allow it.
I ordered an Echo dot, then realized there were more voice activated devices from deeper company, and I almost reverted getting the Amazon one, but after this guy doing reviews on all of them, I'm glad. Except for the speaker, but I'll just get a speaker, I wanted it more for tasks and searching in the Internet
the amazon alexa has speakers designed to be better at speech and higher pitches (they designed it to be mainly a voice assistant) The google home was designed better for music so it has 2 passive radiators to increase the bass The homepod was build to blow the competitors out of the water when it comes to sound quality, it has EIGHT speakers.
The thing is, in france Google Assistant has a very very very anoying voice and sense of humor and behavior. So i stick with siri. She would be so cool if she was more open to third party devs
My only complaint about these kinds of videos are that Apple has clearly stated that the HomePod is not build to compete with smart speakers but with Sonos and Bose speakers
Show some respect to Echo they made the smart speakers popular they can do way more things that home pod and google home can't like shopping. Your review looks like the real competition is between the home pod and all other smart speakers. but it's not at least not now.
Alexa is good competition man, it held its ground with all of the questions and its more diverse with its features. You didn't mention that you can use bluetooth to other speakers if you want better sound. Its a very good competitor considering the fact that you're comparing it to other speakers thats more than twice its price.
Android free music and youtube to mp3 downloads...customize your music playlist saved to your phone free...iphone..pay a dollar or use a computer and use a music playet app...no
As a happy Apple Music user and someone that lives in a household completely comprised of iPhone and Apple Music users, the HomePod is definitely the one for me. And HomeKit. That’s nice as well. Also, I see you there with that Blue Exorcist opening in your Apple Music! Gotta give credit for dat
If you are referring to the other features besides sound then I have to disagree. With regards to Siri, it has been around the longest when it comes to Voice Assistants, so Apple has no excuse there. (Although, Microsoft was the first to have voice command on their Smartphone before the iphone they just dropped the ball and didn't realize they could make it so much more, but I have digressed) Now Apple already integrates Google Calendar into their other IOS devices why didn't they do it with this device? They knew it was a shortcoming of the Google Home when it first came out. Why repeat the same mistake if you know better? I will say this Apple isn't really touting the Home Pod as a perfect answer to the GH Max and Amazon Echo devices they are more touting this as a competitor to Sonos and other high end speakers. This is not a Beta Device. Beta Devices to not get pushed out for the most part to the masses. Betas get selectively pushed out. This device is no longer in Beta sorry.
How is Siri different in the HomePod than in Smartphones. The better question is Why is it different if in fact it is? Like I said they have had Siri for longer than Amazon or Google have had their assistants. But your statement proves what I said about Apple then. They are not trying to compete with other Smart Speakers they are trying to compete with the likes of Sonos.
Got a chance to experience the HomePod at bestbuy. Really is a beautifully designed speaker, sounds amazing too. Though I couldn’t bring myself to pick one up, way too limited right now. No spotify or play music. Shame as I really did like the design
Darth Vader the original isn't meant to compete with the sound quality of the home pod. They are in completely different price points. The max is what is in closest competition to the homepod price and sound quality wise
I don't understand how that's a fair comparison, Original google Home is basically a much cheaper and easily accessible speaker that gives you all the basic smart functionality to you Home, the speaker side of it was never meant to be the highlight , it always sounded quite bad, if i have to change i would've replaced the Echo with a Sonos Alexa speaker as they more meant for sound quality and listening experience. I create tech contents in a unique new style, please do give my channel a look if you are free.
One thing's for sure, the Amazon Echo is not really great for listening to heavy beat/bass Hip-Hop music. The review summation as to which to buy seem to be more in line with audio comparison than price vs functionality vs aesthetics vs audio quality (even though all were mentioned). To state that the Echo is just "cheap" may be true, but not in the sense of it being worthless (which what I gathered from the statement). Also, if you do want to listen to music, & you have a Bluetooth (BT) enabled receiver or superior BT speakers, you can connect Echo devices to them (if I'm not mistaken). I'm sure there's no doubt that the Apple product sounds good, & I personally would recommend it to one who is anchored to the Apple ecosystem. But, if I were going to buy a smart speaker solely for the purpose of it being a music device, I'd go with the big guy from Google. Budget wise for me, because Apple & Google's devices are more than $300, I'd just buy an Amazon Echo Dot ($49), connect it to one of my excellent sound bars via BT, & still have the "smart" functionality.
You should mention that you can add audio to the Amazon Echo through Bluetooth and external audio speakers. That helps to level the field of sound quality in my opinion.
For a speaker like Max. It's Superior quality and it actually has better ability to adapt to placement if you put it anywhere you normally put a hi Fi system. The smart sound technology inside is much more intelligent than home pod and so is the sound. Plus it's not totally handicapped like the homepod. Since you were standing behind it you got more low end. Max will have cleaner sounds if placed ANYWHERE near the wall as any pro audio system would be. Also has better EQ options and an input. In every way better besides 360 audio, but that's because you actually get better whole room smart tuning for the room when places near the more common near wall placement. That's why home and mini have 360 audio but it would have been a bad decision to include in Max. It's made for actual music lovers, not a countertop toy.
Do you own an iPhone and use Apple Music? Buy the HomePod. Do you own an Android device and use another streaming service? Choose the Google Home Max. You don‘t want to listen to music and just need an assistant? Buy the Echo. Nothing simple as that.
Gimmicks R Us. Do people actually ask their speakers questions every day? The HomePod is the best as it does the most important function the best. It has the best speaker system.
I just bought a Amazon echo and connected it to my surround sound system. That's better than anything lol and you can play music and here it through out the whole house or you can get more echos and have them play the same thing
If you are with Apple Music only home pod works with it. Yes it doesn’t have Spotify access but google and Amazon don’t have access to Apple Music. 35 + million subscribers are limited to one option. Feel like a lot of reviewers are missing this.
And remember that the HomePod came out yesterday. Give it time. The feature that allows it to play with multiple HomePods at once it’s going to be pretty cool once it comes out.
Muted the "Hey Siri" and "Ok Google" to avoid triggering the viewer's speaker? Clever
Sidharth S Menon ikr so thougtful
I have a google In my room so that’s good for me
And Alexa
Sidharth S Menon yes lmao
The alexa stop, stoped my music 2 times hahah
HomePod: $350 marshmallow
Google Home Max: $400 bread loaf
Amazon Echo: $170 toilet roll.
yousouf farooq accurate 👏 👏 👏
Pretty good, but the echo is more a roll of paper towels than a toilet roll 🤣
yousouf farooq 👌👌👌👌👌👌
In that logic, I like HomePod best
amazon echo is a pringles can
After all that drama I was expecting a Whitney Houston voice to belt out happy birthday on the homepod. lol
Kayzef2003 me too
facts
Well, i kinda got what it's trying to do when she said the first "ehem".. Kinda obvious that it's doing the build up and pretending to be smart just to not do what it's asked to do lol. I think Siri seriously needed a major overhaul before launching such a product, i mean even with it's full capabilities Siri is far behind in the smartness department compared to Alexa and Google Assistant, but i do feel like the voice of Siri became a lot less robotic.

According to me:-

2️⃣Alexa
3️⃣Siri

to me:
1. Alexa
2. Google Home

3. Siri
VIGNESH GANESH Nadar Sony makes the best speaker!
Sorry,But this isnt about the actual speakers, this is about the software
The HomePod has a dumb assistant but a great sound quality. Better than the Home Max.
qvbe but its about the assistent and software not the sound quality
echo looks like a pringles can.
Christopher Schiffiano and the google thing looks like a air freshener....... don’t diss Alexa man
And the homepod literally looks like my tabletop trash can
Lmao why are y’all defending speakers smh
lol
You know who else looks like a pringles can....? MY MOM!!!!!!!
My Google assistant told me happy birthday this morning and sung for me and yes today is my birthday and that is really cool
JoyCon Nation google already knows wayyyyyyy tooooooo much about you
Happy late birthday
The HomePod seems like it’s crazy good for a small setup if you listen to a lot of music. But they still need a nice revamp for Siri. Thankfully they put in some nice tech so it can be upgraded via software with ease
Didn't alexa just mean, that there were 49 Final fantasy games on amazon?!
James Einer yea
Alexa was actually listening the final Fantasy games that are being sold in amazon not listing all the games names
Adrian Ramirez when I tried asking my Google assistant how many final fantasy games there are, just by re wording it and it got the right answer
same
why thanks i was really fucking wondering about that from a homepod review. shut the fuck up
yeetbrother 44 This isn’t a HomePod review
Good video but you forgot to mention a few things about the Max that I find pretty important.
• Max supports multi room audio (so does Echo)
•Direct Chromecast support, including things like UA-cam, UA-cam TV, Google Photos, and more recently, visual responses (Echo does too but is more limited with FireTV)
• Fairly frequent updates (to be fair we're not sure on the HomePod yet but considering its Apple I wouldn't be surprised if we only see a handful of updates a year, if that)
• Super useful live support
• An ability to request / suggest features!
• Horizontal mode has stereo
• Ability to pair two Max in a stereo pair
• Also tunes settings to the placement of the speaker in the room automatically
• Mic off button (unlike HomePod, like what?)
• Can distinguish between multiple voices (along with Echo)
• Aux in port
• Bluetooth support
• Can create more than one timer (what were you thinking Apple?)
• Google Home app allows you to adjust the bass and treble manually
thanks for muting the key phrase
Right? I like that more people are doing that
Why
Why do they do it?
If you have a google home or echo sitting on your desk, the video sets them off
Logan Paulina I have an Echo next to my bed and it’s SUPER sensitive to it’s wake word. Even at a low volume it can pick up people saying the wake word.

Dwayne Shaffer Why on earth do you need so many smart speakers?
I have a smart home with smart lights and switches in every room, smart thermostat, smart cameras etc and I want to be able to control any of my smart d vices from any of my rooms or four bedrooms. Plus you get stereo sound by doing everywhere and I can make call from any room without my phone, play skills and intercom to any room in my house and so much more, I love smart speakers!’
HomePod: sound
Google Home Max: voice assistant
Amazon Alexa: price
I am a Google guy but all of these seem pretty close however, watching this video almost made me disappointed in Siri
Andrew Mckibben because they want to focus on more of music experience not Siri..
vGREENARROWv true so I guess it's just not for me
vGREENARROWv thats a terrible excuse.. it's basically admitting we're not that good in that department so this is music focused.
K.J. Littlejohn not even a excuse.. we’re not playing 20 questions with this shit lol playing music. Don’t like don’t buy it no one forcing anyone to buying these products.. amazon and google did great with the assistant BUT sound.. Apple got that one and that’s what it matters the most.. well for some people.
Andrew Mckibben nope just amazon or google if you want someone to talk to.. want better sound quality then Apple but of course you won’t tell the difference unless you have these in front of you doing a sound test.
HomePod is way too restricting
only for the time being
WaffleIMeanWulf I it's Apple
It came out yesterday. Give it time.
kylecoolky it's apple. no time will ever fix it
kylecoolky no it doesn't deserve any time considering the price and the competition. The Google home Mini is $50 (on sale for $40 now) and can do more than the home pod now. Same with the Google home and home max but they cost more and sound better.
Alexa and Google are the best duo!
SToRm VaPoR what?
Purely for sound and aesthetic, the HomePod nails it. Everything else, not so much.
Ask The Google Assistant "How many Final Fantasy Games are there"?
It gives the answer
Lee Woods that is how I worded my question too. Bravo!
Also he kept changing the wording between devices...
The voice assistants on mobile devices and the speakers have different sources to work with.
+Rajshri Ingle as that one hears searches and one hears commands and searches
Rajshri Ingle Google Assistant is the same on all platforms and devices.
I love how he mutes himself when he says ok google, Alexa, and hey Siri!
It makes it so i don’t have to mute Alexa!
Thank you sooo much for doing that! ❤️🙂🙃
One of the reasons I would pick Alexa over the others is because of all of the skills and therefore would favour them over the other two
What can a homepod do??
Ans: Play music, great sound, looks good, ahem..
What can a homepod not do?
Ans: tells a 10000 things list..
yes it can't fuck you.
I would prob rock the max if i had a choice
The Advisor Files
Same, but Alexa is good competition
“And this... you know... it cheaper” thats sum next level shade right there 😂
I use my personal assistant as, you know, a personal assistant. That means I use it for as many productivity tasks as I do for music. And in this area, nothing beats Alexa.

Sadly HomePod seems to have a handicap at the moment, can’t wait to see how it does after some software updates
3:44 - That's My reaction to Game Of Thrones S8!!!
The bass coming off the Google Home Max was crazy deep in my headphones
G O O G L E H O M E!!!!

Dark Appple 63 sucks
Dark Appple 63 better than being selfish ^^

Dark Appple 63 lol thinking someone is an apple fan boy because telling the truth.

Had the same reaction when I asked my Google home to sing Happy birthday 😀
Thank you so much for muting the names it is a big help since I have a Google home and Amazon echo in the same room that I was watching this video is so thank you
Btw love the video
Which one do you prefer?
I like the google home a lot more because it has a better speaker and it has more functions
Reese Norley just move to another room smh
Deep Studios lmao are you fucking stupid! If you move to a different room how are you suppose to hear it dumbass SMH
chana Randolph He wasn't watching the vid on the smart speakers
He was probably on his phone or tablet or laptop
Dumbass
Apple HomePod for me. With the ability for firmware updates and that I’ve got everything Apple right now
Alexa dot and home mini are still the best lol, $30 vs $300
Siri had me laughing when she was going to sing Happy birthday 😂😂
Does apple music work with the other 2? If not, i don’t see a reason why apple should support other companies
Anon it does work with the other two
i don't think it works on the echo...
Sickickz Apple music works on everything
It doesn’t on any of the others. If you want to play from Apple Music then you have to stream via Bluetooth or Airplay
Apple refused Amazon and Google the rights to use Apple Music on its Echos and Google Home.
If you want a speaker.... Get a speaker lol why spend 350 for siri with good sound? Lol
Would be better of getting a mini version of the Google or Amazon and get the JBL Extreme
Because it has good sound
Because it’s not just for music, it’s literally your smart phone assistant in speaker form
Basically, the HomePod is an interactive speaker and the other two are music-playing home assistants
How can sirii be better than google assistant and alexaa
@@frostyne9048 i think he ment caus siri doesnt have good music services
The one major advantage of the Echo Plus is that it has the control hubs for a lot of home smart home systems hard wired into itself - saving you for example having to spend the £49 on a Philips Hue hub.

I would go with the Google Home Max
Thanks for muting the parts where you say their names. It saved me and probably a lot of other people from activating their assistants
great products
Hello dude, only 2 likes for this comment 😂. Today minimum 2k likes

A good thing to mention would be the built in home hub in echo plus! And consider changing ur channel name from UrAvgConsumer to UrRichConsumer :P
Nice, lol!
I like how he muted himself when he activated the assistants so that he did not do the same to ours xD
Idk about the speakers but between the most useful voice assistant is between Google and Amazon. Siri can't do alot.
I really appreciate the unbiased comparisons. Admitting that each device has it's advantages and disadvantages/growing pains. Plus the frankenstein thought of mixing the best audio/aesthetic/assistant.
Problem with the Echo is the Amazon bias, with relation to searches. The Google Home shows no bias.
wiseguy100 ever heard of "ads by google"?
You do know that Amazon does not have its own Search Engine like Google does. So they cannot show bias when it comes to searching. The search results it gets it gets from Microsoft's Bing and Wikipedia. It cannot use Google to search for anything because I am sure Google won't allow it.

I hate when the Google ads trigger my Google home mini
the amazon alexa has speakers designed to be better at speech and higher pitches (they designed it to be mainly a voice assistant)
The google home was designed better for music so it has 2 passive radiators to increase the bass
The homepod was build to blow the competitors out of the water when it comes to sound quality, it has EIGHT speakers.
picubed_13579 passive radiators? Lol this aint a jbl speaker. The google home max has 2 4.5 inch woofers
Good muting it! It didn't activate my Google home
I currently have both the Echo and HomePod. I love the homepod but love the echo brains.
Siri is stupid!!! Came from an iOS user !!
"Sorry, i can't help you with that yet" - Siri 2018
LOL every iPhone user knows that Google assistant is better in every single way, but still iPhone is the way to go
Hate it or Love it especially with Google Assistant available for iOS.
The thing is, in france Google Assistant has a very very very anoying voice and sense of humor and behavior. So i stick with siri. She would be so cool if she was more open to third party devs
Siri is the Best of voice assistants!
I love the fact that you muted the key phrases. I wasn't a subscriber but now I am.
My only complaint about these kinds of videos are that Apple has clearly stated that the HomePod is not build to compete with smart speakers but with Sonos and Bose speakers
Isaac Golden that's because they know Siri cannot hold out through an assistant war. She just falls on her face compared to Alexa and GA.
Then why build the damn thing and charge almost 400 dollars
Extremely fair overview. Props.
Show some respect to Echo they made the smart speakers popular they can do way more things that home pod and google home can't like shopping. Your review looks like the real competition is between the home pod and all other smart speakers. but it's not at least not now.
I love how Jud bleeps Alexa when he activates the echo but not when he's just talking about it 😂
Google home 😍👌
Alexa is good competition man, it held its ground with all of the questions and its more diverse with its features. You didn't mention that you can use bluetooth to other speakers if you want better sound. Its a very good competitor considering the fact that you're comparing it to other speakers thats more than twice its price.
Music wise: HomePod
Apple kills the music game every time.
Ren Ren nah, Spotify and the home max is just a little better
Android free music and youtube to mp3 downloads...customize your music playlist saved to your phone free...iphone..pay a dollar or use a computer and use a music playet app...no
As a happy Apple Music user and someone that lives in a household completely comprised of iPhone and Apple Music users, the HomePod is definitely the one for me. And HomeKit. That’s nice as well.
Also, I see you there with that Blue Exorcist opening in your Apple Music! Gotta give credit for dat
Homepod is like in its beta mode
Where both Alexa and Google are already got their second updates......
Akshay Hari exactly

This is not a Beta Device. Beta Devices to not get pushed out for the most part to the masses. Betas get selectively pushed out. This device is no longer in Beta sorry.
4daluvofnikki it is because the Siri in the HomePod is different from the Siri in smartphones
How is Siri different in the HomePod than in Smartphones. The better question is Why is it different if in fact it is? Like I said they have had Siri for longer than Amazon or Google have had their assistants. But your statement proves what I said about Apple then. They are not trying to compete with other Smart Speakers they are trying to compete with the likes of Sonos.
4daluvofnikki so let me just ask a HomePod: “open iMessage”. It can’t do certain things that have to do with screens.
Got a chance to experience the HomePod at bestbuy. Really is a beautifully designed speaker, sounds amazing too. Though I couldn’t bring myself to pick one up, way too limited right now. No spotify or play music. Shame as I really did like the design
In my opinion, you should have compared the original Google Home. Nonetheless, great review! 🔥🔥🔥
Darth Vader the original isn't meant to compete with the sound quality of the home pod. They are in completely different price points. The max is what is in closest competition to the homepod price and sound quality wise
The homepod is $500 if we're not counting the discount. The original google home is $150. See the difference there?
No because that would be unfair since the Google home is hundreds of dollars cheaper than the homepod.
I don't understand how that's a fair comparison, Original google Home is basically a much cheaper and easily accessible speaker that gives you all the basic smart functionality to you Home, the speaker side of it was never meant to be the highlight , it always sounded quite bad, if i have to change i would've replaced the Echo with a Sonos Alexa speaker as they more meant for sound quality and listening experience.

One thing's for sure, the Amazon Echo is not really great for listening to heavy beat/bass Hip-Hop music. The review summation as to which to buy seem to be more in line with audio comparison than price vs functionality vs aesthetics vs audio quality (even though all were mentioned). To state that the Echo is just "cheap" may be true, but not in the sense of it being worthless (which what I gathered from the statement). Also, if you do want to listen to music, & you have a Bluetooth (BT) enabled receiver or superior BT speakers, you can connect Echo devices to them (if I'm not mistaken). I'm sure there's no doubt that the Apple product sounds good, & I personally would recommend it to one who is anchored to the Apple ecosystem. But, if I were going to buy a smart speaker solely for the purpose of it being a music device, I'd go with the big guy from Google. Budget wise for me, because Apple & Google's devices are more than $300, I'd just buy an Amazon Echo Dot ($49), connect it to one of my excellent sound bars via BT, & still have the "smart" functionality.
The speaker symmetry in this video is very satisfying
I would love to see a UAC and Austin Evans colab
Hey UAC it’s guys here
You should mention that you can add audio to the Amazon Echo through Bluetooth and external audio speakers. That helps to level the field of sound quality in my opinion.
Please do a survival kit 3.0 and a follow up of your apple set and do a editing vid
Thando Kumalo Here’s a survival kit; water filters, matches, rope and a knife.
Bruh you know what mean. Tech survival kit 3.0 are you satisfied
That’s what I’m talking about UAC. This is the review I was looking for. I think I need that HomePod in my life.
The best listening position is also behind the speaker, as we all know ...
Good review bud, straight to the point without the waffle.
HomePod seems like a glorified speaker
You are officially my favorite youtuber
Great vid mate!
But, will it blend?
For a speaker like Max. It's Superior quality and it actually has better ability to adapt to placement if you put it anywhere you normally put a hi Fi system. The smart sound technology inside is much more intelligent than home pod and so is the sound. Plus it's not totally handicapped like the homepod. Since you were standing behind it you got more low end. Max will have cleaner sounds if placed ANYWHERE near the wall as any pro audio system would be. Also has better EQ options and an input. In every way better besides 360 audio, but that's because you actually get better whole room smart tuning for the room when places near the more common near wall placement. That's why home and mini have 360 audio but it would have been a bad decision to include in Max. It's made for actual music lovers, not a countertop toy.
Can you do tech survival tech kit 3.0 please
Brian Lowenfeld that would be sweet
Indian.techsupport it would he he said to let him know if we want to see one I really want one love his tech survival kits
Agree
Sufyan Saqib what is noooooo for???
THANK YOU. My google home got activated every single time you said ok google in the last video
Do you own an iPhone and use Apple Music? Buy the HomePod.
Do you own an Android device and use another streaming service? Choose the Google Home Max.
You don‘t want to listen to music and just need an assistant? Buy the Echo.
Nothing simple as that.
thank you SO much for muting the hot words! i'm surprised other youtubers aren't doing this.
Gimmicks R Us.
Do people actually ask their speakers questions every day?
The HomePod is the best as it does the most important function the best. It has the best speaker system.
I just bought a Amazon echo and connected it to my surround sound system. That's better than anything lol and you can play music and here it through out the whole house or you can get more echos and have them play the same thing
HomePod all the way
Joseph Lewis It can't do anything though
Koda I’m already neck-deep in he Apple ecosystem... why would I want any other smart speaker than this one?
Joseph Lewis If you want a good speaker, the homepod is a good choice. The problem is it is not as smart as Amazon's and Google's smart assistants.
Koda okay? And? It’s my personal opinion...
😒
If you are with Apple Music only home pod works with it. Yes it doesn’t have Spotify access but google and Amazon don’t have access to Apple Music. 35 + million subscribers are limited to one option. Feel like a lot of reviewers are missing this.
Spectacular video UrAvgConsumer!! 😃 I love your channel so much! 🙂 😍
And remember that the HomePod came out yesterday. Give it time. The feature that allows it to play with multiple HomePods at once it’s going to be pretty cool once it comes out.
Why do you mute the names?
Senan Casey Clearly he doesn't want to activate everyone's echos or google homes
Ose8games or homepod
I love that he is comparing these when he has a pair of Sonos right behind him. Sonos for life!
But can they run crisis?
Great video, but the only was missing was talking about bluetooth connections with each one.
home pod, simply amazing
Dude your videos are the best. Keep up the great work
