Apple HomePod 2nd Gen
I wanted to like the second-generation Apple HomePod. This year’s HomePod remains one of the boomiest I’ve tested, but all the bass drowns out the mid-tones. I can’t recommend Apple’s first-party AirPlay-compatible speaker over the third-party Sonos Era lineup, which is in a similar price range. And that’s what makes the second-gen HomePod so disappointing. — Florence Ion
