What a great review with sophisticated equipment to provide objective figures, even better happens at 10:30. Jo asked the most important question in the entire video that it almost killed me. Jo is the hero!
You are someone who takes product reviews to the next level, writing books and being a reference in the field. You don’t just unbox a product and share your thoughts; you present it like a scientific study.
Who you kidding Faruk. Someone as meticulous as you is NEVER satisfied with the result. As a full-time, all-in member of your audience, I can safely say that I am quite satisfied, as always. And that's not to blow smoke. That's just to tell you how much respect i have for your product. You never cheat the audience. That's why you'll never lose us. Have a great weekend man.
Incredible level of attention and quality. And it is not boring!! You have nailed it. Cannot imagine how many hours and days you have spent working on it.
we come here with some expectations. we all know you do the best reviews out there. but every time to surprise us with something new, with something we didn’t see coming and we love it. 😊
Fantastic review, as always. Thank you for your contribution, not only in the tech world, but also for your support for Turkey & Syria. My heart goes out to all those affected.
Thanks for all of the hard work you put into these one-of-a-kind reviews. This is easily the most informative, thorough, and well-produced HomePod 2 review that I’ve watched.
Thank you so much for this in-depth and detailed review of the HomePod 2. You are one of the most informative and entertaining reviewers on UA-cam. I always look forward to your videos and learning something new from them. I appreciate your honest opinions and comparisons with other speakers on the market. You really help me understand the pros and cons of the HomePod 2 and why it’s worth buying. You explain everything clearly and concisely, from its design, features, sound quality, and compatibility. You also show us how it works with different Apple devices and services, such as Siri, AirPlay, Apple Music, and HomeKit. You have a great sense of humor and style, making your videos fun to watch. You are not biased or sponsored by anyone. You give us genuine feedback and recommendations based on your experience and testing. You are a true professional and expert in this field. Thank you again for this fantastic review of the HomePod 2. You are awesome!❤
At first, I said to myself "this is way too long, I will skip some parts of it". But Faruk has trapped me once again (not surprisingly?) and I watched the entire video almost with no skips (except Siri). Compherensive review, awesome cinematography and spot on production as well. Also I appreciate your reminder on earthquake victims. You are a true example of what a UA-camr needs to be, in my opinion
Terrific review - the latency is a massive issue when connected to a Mac as it makes video calls (zoom, teams, etc) impossible, which blew my mind that this is an issue at all.
Great video, amazing quality! I have two HomePod minis in my office, and two OG HomePods as a stereo pair in the living room. I did have three OG HomePods at one point but two years ago one of them just died. I kept it as an object on my bookcase because it looks so aesthetically pleasing. If my OG HomePods stop working, I'd probably go for HomePod 2.
Abi sen inanılmaz bir insansın. Bakış açına bayılıyorum. 10 yıla yakındır takipteyim ve hayranınım. Umarım bir gün seninle birlikte çalışma fırsatı yakalayıp, bilgi birikiminden yararlanabilirim. Sevgiyle kal 🙏🥳
Hey Faruk, thank you very very much for the review!!! I was especially waiting for it. Other reviewers just say that it's the same product that flopped but with fewer speakers and complain that it does not play Spotify (I'm surprised that they don't complain about the missing USB port). Your measurements are fantastic, and the point about the delay when using through ARC is very important as well because that's one of my intended uses. Thank you once more, keep the awsome videos coming :)
Awesome video man. Love you content. You editing and video making skills are amazing. When I was in Cali on vacation I was hoping to run into on the beach haha.
I really appreciate the way you review gadgets. Sound is more likely to be personal experience. Your methodology, formulize signals works well here. Surely those differences are not noticeable by most of the users. But there is someone like you needed which magnifies the differences.
My original HomePods have always been my under the radar favorite apple devices. I got them really cheap when they were discontinued and have loved them. Glad to see they are releasing an updated version. Side note, I do wish Apple would add Bluetooth support or an Aux port. It’s a bit disappointing it’s not there. Also, they need to work on the heat thing because my HomePods do get very hot and it seems like the new ones do as well.
I looked at my HomePod 2s with a FLIR camera and saw the same heating of the front. Looking at the tear downs you can see there is a large heat sink there for the DSP board.
hands down the best reviewer out there, I am not even in to homepods but I watched the entire thing with big suprising appetite. Keep it up the work you are doing please.
Impressive thorough review, I do have a HomePod mini and could not imagine it sounds so muffled compared to the big brothers!! The HomePod 2 definitely sounds much much better.
I've watched some people saying the HomePod2 is worse, but they have it almost against a wall. I know there is an S7 chip to compensate, but it can't rewrite physics. I have a pair 1 metre from the rear wall and 2 metres from the side walls, which sounds great. Coming from a $10k system, that's high praise. I also found that Apple Music sounded really lumpy, and am now using Tidal over Airplay and the bass is much cleaner and better defined.
Thanks! It would be nice no see the audio wave shapes generated from different versions. My subjective perception is HP2 has smoother wave shapes (closer to the analog).
What an excellent review and thank you for mentioning Turkey & Syria. A couple of questions: Could you tell if it was able to configure itself to the room configuration & location (this is supposed to take awhile) and how does that compare to HP 1 with more microphones. Also, overall, would you recommend two HomePod Minis or one HomePod 2 (particularly if you used it sometimes with Apple TV)?
Great video. I have a stereo pair of minis connected to my Apple TV and they work well. I want to get some HomePod 2s but not sure if the improvement is worth $600 or not.
I know I'm listening through my own speakers but it's also obvious to me that the Homepod 2 sounds better than the first gen. That's good to know if I want to get one!
Faruk brother, this is a very in-depth review and how thoughtful of you mentioning the earthquake in Turkey, thank you. One question, do you think these speakers are able to handle high-resolution audio? Something like 24bit / 192k audio files from Apple Music?
Thank you very much, this is the most detailed review I've seen yet :) I have a question: compare to the first gen - is there any difference in latency when you using pairs of them with Apple TV? I have one firstgen HomePod and I want to get second one to create stereopair, so I don't know what is better: to sell my one and buy the pair of new ones, or just a by another HomePod 1.
Wow, great job! This review has measurement, data and graph! The HomePod 2 had better mid or more flat frequency response than HomePod 1. So, how about I use the “Reduce Bass” option to HomePod? Can I achieve similar frequency response to HomePod 2? May be I don’t need to upgrade from my pair of HomePod 1?
My review: Great sound for the size, Stereo Pair works 73% of the time. Delay as a wireless Desktop speaker is annoying. Looks great on the table though.
What can be said about this video. I couldn't even fathom how much effort went into this, until Faruk Beyciğim silently shouted about it in his community post recently. Life and UA-cam in parallel is unfair. Effort sadly not always equal to, well, in this case "Viewership". May be Faruk Beyciğim is content about it, well I am definitely not. I wouldn't want to hurt anything with this. (If I stepped out of line with this, I'll withdraw my comment.)
Abi çok güzel bi video yine eline sağlık. Destek için teşekkür ederiz çok incesin. Bu arada "hoşçakalın polisi" olarak videoların sonunda hoşçakalın dememen beni üzüyor. Bu konuda da bir şeyler yapalım mı
Just based on the test 1 results the HomePod 2 seems to be way more balanced. I really like Apple's direction. AirPods Pro 2 also sounds fantastic. Sadly for me purchasing HomePod 2 right now would be a waste of money.
The amount of quality and detail put into this video is next level. Big Respect as always...love your work!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
What a great review with sophisticated equipment to provide objective figures, even better happens at 10:30. Jo asked the most important question in the entire video that it almost killed me.
Jo is the hero!
I am having an eargasm and eyegasm at the same time right now! Perfect review!!!!
You are someone who takes product reviews to the next level, writing books and being a reference in the field. You don’t just unbox a product and share your thoughts; you present it like a scientific study.
Hands down best efforts for giving reviews👏👏
Thank you

Listening back on my studio monitors and audio interface it's clear that the HomePod 2's audio is better to my trained ear
Thanks for all of the hard work you put into these one-of-a-kind reviews. This is easily the most informative, thorough, and well-produced HomePod 2 review that I’ve watched.

No problem
Soo.... what are you saying? You like the videos?
@@toadlguy Of course I like the video!🤣
Çok emek var videoda, kitlene depremden bahsetmen önemli bir andı.
My go-to person for audio reviews at this point 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I just wish they hadn’t included a dust trapping ledge 😑😑😑
Like before watched. The best person in that kind of testing area..
All hail Techno Gandalf! Another great video like always.
This is the best HomePod review on the internet. Amazing. Subbed.
Easily the best review video on these as speakers I have found, this has helped me make my decision, thanks!
At first, I said to myself "this is way too long, I will skip some parts of it".

Insane quality of all his videos! I always look for your videos with any new apple product. You’re the best!
Your attentional to detail is ridiculous here Faruk, Amazingly done.
Thank you kind sir!
Absolutely loved this detailed analysis between the speakers. Going to buy HomePod 2 now.
Thank you
I wish I had that much money.
Amazing work doing this videos, the level of professionalism is huge, blew my mind!
I could watch you review anything. So well done. Thank you!
Wow.. this video is absolutely incredible. Great job!!!!!
Thank you thank you :))
10:43 "SAVE ME!"? ahahahaha
Great video, amazing quality! I have two HomePod minis in my office, and two OG HomePods as a stereo pair in the living room. I did have three OG HomePods at one point but two years ago one of them just died. I kept it as an object on my bookcase because it looks so aesthetically pleasing. If my OG HomePods stop working, I'd probably go for HomePod 2.
Fantastic comparison. Thank you. I've been looking for a video that goes into depth like this. Much appreciated
Great video. Such precision testing. You do fantastic and unique videos.

I love these comprehensive videos
This video is a masterpiece.
Best homepod 2 review, period
My original HomePods have always been my under the radar favorite apple devices. I got them really cheap when they were discontinued and have loved them. Glad to see they are releasing an updated version. Side note, I do wish Apple would add Bluetooth support or an Aux port. It’s a bit disappointing it’s not there.

Great video man ! Good job 💪🏼👏🏼
Always fantastic, but this review is superb. And when your review of tha Apple Watch ultra..??? I saw you are wearing it! Thanks!!!
This must have been a hell of a job! Great video!
At 20:05, the front side has a metallic plate that spreads the heat from the chip, in HomePod 2. That's why the front warms up compared to OG HomePod
And I think to keep it away from the temp sensor. I was going to refer him to the iFixit teardown 👍
I looked at my HomePod 2s with a FLIR camera and saw the same heating of the front. Looking at the tear downs you can see there is a large heat sink there for the DSP board.
I bet Apple didn't do this much testing for a always listening speaker
hands down the best reviewer out there, I am not even in to homepods but I watched the entire thing with big suprising appetite. Keep it up the work you are doing please.
iPhonedo dropping the sickest transition for years thinking we will not notice 💀
Impressive thorough review, I do have a HomePod mini and could not imagine it sounds so muffled compared to the big brothers!! The HomePod 2 definitely sounds much much better.
So impressive, you are a virtuoso my friend. Great work.
My four original HomePods sound just fine to my ears.
This is how its done, MKBHD
I've watched some people saying the HomePod2 is worse, but they have it almost against a wall. I know there is an S7 chip to compensate, but it can't rewrite physics.

great review!!!!!
Great video. I have a stereo pair of minis connected to my Apple TV and they work well. I want to get some HomePod 2s but not sure if the improvement is worth $600 or not.
But I kind of liked that AirPod 1 sound. Despite computer analysis.
I know I'm listening through my own speakers but it's also obvious to me that the Homepod 2 sounds better than the first gen. That's good to know if I want to get one!
Not sure you used 32 floating bit. Maybe you should’ve consulted with a sound engineer
We don’t deserve you, Faruk!!! This level of detail, being so thorough, is off the charts! Thank you so much 👏👏👏
Ah! What's that on your face! Haha love the beard. Great review. Great explanation too.
Faruk brother, this is a very in-depth review and how thoughtful of you mentioning the earthquake in Turkey, thank you. One question, do you think these speakers are able to handle high-resolution audio? Something like 24bit / 192k audio files from Apple Music?

You shouldn’t upgrade
Amazing
Well done. Love your in-depth reviews. Thanks to your girlfriend for supporting your work.
My review: Great sound for the size, Stereo Pair works 73% of the time. Delay as a wireless Desktop speaker is annoying. Looks great on the table though.
Can you provide the OS version for the HomePods you tested? I remember Apple did some sound tuning in their latest OS update
OG HomePod sounds so much better.

Please review hifi speakers like this as well 🤓😎
I didnt watch the whole video, did he talked about dolby atmos? Or spatial audio when connected with two homepods 2?
Amazing review!
Faruk beycim tim abinin kulağını çeksen, HomePod’u Türkiye’ye getirseler ne güzel olurdu.
hey merhabalar odamda sinema için 2 tane HomePod mini mi almalı mıyım? yoksa bi adet HomePod 2 mi? karar veremedim ?
Cool video
Jo should be the new voice of Siri.
I think homepod doesn’t deserve this review.
Abi çok güzel bi video yine eline sağlık. Destek için teşekkür ederiz çok incesin. Bu arada "hoşçakalın polisi" olarak videoların sonunda hoşçakalın dememen beni üzüyor. Bu konuda da bir şeyler yapalım mı
Just based on the test 1 results the HomePod 2 seems to be way more balanced. I really like Apple's direction. AirPods Pro 2 also sounds fantastic. Sadly for me purchasing HomePod 2 right now would be a waste of money.

The only Apple product I have is an iPad, so watching all of this may not have been the best investment of my time. 😅
No chasing Pokémon? 😢
2:00 was that your AI voice?
Aynine (Jo) is right...
conclusion: HomePod-2 better that any other HomePods =)
