  • Our take on the Apple HomePod 2

    The second-generation HomePod is Apple's full-size smart speaker, built around a 4-inch woofer and five horn-loaded tweeters that auto-tune to the room. It doubles as a Siri hub and a Thread border router for HomeKit, so it fits homes already inside Apple's ecosystem. Sound is fuller and bassier than the HomePod mini, but it is Apple-only: no Bluetooth streaming from Android, no aux input, and Siri is the only assistant. Reviewers rate the audio highly for its size and praise the tight iPhone and Apple TV integration, while criticising the high price against comparable smart speakers and the limited non-Apple support.

    Pros
    • Room-sensing auto-tune adjusts sound to its placement
    • Five tweeters plus a 4-inch woofer give wide, bass-rich sound
    • Doubles as a HomeKit hub and Thread border router
    • Handoff and setup are quick with a nearby iPhone
    • Spatial audio with Dolby Atmos works well with Apple TV
    Cons
    • Locked to Apple devices; no Bluetooth streaming from Android or PCs
    • Siri is the only voice assistant and lags rivals on general knowledge
    • No aux or optical input for wired sources
    • Stereo pairing requires two units, which doubles the outlay
    • Wi-Fi 802.11n only, older than many rivals

    Questions and answers

    Is the HomePod 2 worth it over the HomePod mini?
    If you want real bass and room-filling sound, yes. The mini is fine for kitchens and desks, but the full-size model has a dedicated woofer and far more low end.
    Can I use the HomePod 2 with Android or a Windows PC?
    Not for streaming. It has no Bluetooth audio input and no aux port, so playback is limited to AirPlay from Apple devices and Apple TV.
    Does it work as a stereo pair?
    Yes, two HomePods can be paired for stereo in the Home app. You need two units, and pairing works best with Apple TV or AirPlay sources.
    What is in the box?
    The speaker and a braided power cable. There is no remote or adapter, and the cable is not detachable.
    Does it support spatial audio?
    Yes, with Dolby Atmos content from Apple Music and Apple TV. It also auto-tunes to the room using its microphones.
    Can it control my smart home devices?
    Yes. It works as a HomeKit hub and Thread border router, and Siri can run scenes and control compatible accessories.
