I have never encountered a Gen 1 in the wild, so I have no comparison to the sound of our Gen 2. That being said, considering the praise for the sound quality of both, I was initially disappointed at how little low end the Gen 2 HomePod had. Great clarity and quality, but thin, tinny sound--for the most part. I had purchased a refurb from Apple at the time, after troubleshooting with support they swapped it out on the guess that something was wrong with it. The replacement sounded about the same, maybe ever so slightly better.

After a few weeks of living with it I happened to stumble across the culprit while playing classical: Apple Music ATMOS. I had played an older classical piece that was non-ATMOS, and it had depth and satisfying bass. I then happened to play the Star Wars: A New Hope theme song for my boys, and it sounded awful--weak, thin. Compared the two, saw the older track was not ATMOS. Turned off ATMOS in the Home app settings, and the Star Wars theme sounded great, proper body and depth to the song. Maybe this isn't an issue with stereo pair HomePods, I only have one so I can't test that. I would say it is worth turning off ATMOS in the Home app if you run a single HomePod Gen 2 to see if it makes a difference:

Home app > three-dot circle in the upper right > Home Settings. Under the People section, tap your Apple account name. Under Connected Media, tap Apple Music. Toggle off Dolby ATMOS.

Just bought two of these. Pairing these to an Apple TV unit sounds really nice.

I have one too… I'm just saying you won't find a new gen 1 to buy anywhere.

Great deal, just purchased 2 of them.

This price makes me think they'll be introducing a newer version at their WWDC next week. But this version came out in Q1 2023, so it feels a little too soon for them to have an updated version.

Says free returns right on the post. Screenshot that and if you need to return it, fight it out with your rep then. They would take it back for free.

I heard that, but I'm still hopeful the new AppleTV rumors are true. Maybe they'll have some new AppleTV + iBar (soundbar) combo, which could explain current discounts, but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm so fed up with my dot and Alexa getting dumber and dumber. And now, Amazon is toying with the idea of charging for Alexa. I just want to control my hue lights without issues and have been saying I think it is time for Homepod minis around the house. But, at this price, ordered 4 and will flip one or two if I don't want to use them all. And if that fails, 30 day return. Thanks slickdeals!

What way to people generally use them? Stereo obviously but I see people talking about using 3+…how would you do that? Just for use in multiple rooms/areas? I assume there's no way/appeal to use them as center channels for a LCR setup ?
I'm wondering the same. We have a bunch of Alexa devices and my wife and I just got Iphone 13s recently. Other than that, we really are not Apple people (I'm getting used to iPhones and preferred Android in many more ways) - the biggest thing is that I don't want to keep buying into the Apple ecosystem (e.g. "Oh I need an Apple Watch next" and "Oh but I also need a Macbook Air." and "Wait, now I need a Macbook Pro" then "Oh I need an Ipad Pro!") lol. I guess I shouldn't buy this then hahaha Big Grin
