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.

I'm planning to switch over to home pods. The echo and echo dots used to be nice but they're constantly not working now for me. Alexa has seemed progressively dumber as well
What kinds of things have you been noticing issues with lately? I will admit that the Echo Dot Clocks are actually pretty nice - I love the fact that I have a bedside clock where I can actually *see* the time and not have to have another device.

Siri getting a major AI update soon…. Love my HomePods, already have at least one in every room, can't convince myself to pull trigger here- but if I didn't already have so many I definitely would

For those of you who use this with a TV setup, is it something where it can only exclusively be used with Apple TV? Or will these actually work with Google, Android or Fire TV as well?

Also missed the Costco deal this year, didn't believe these would get any cheaper than that!
Grabbed a pair - thanks for sharing!

Verizon is messed up. I tried to order this HomePod and Verizon wanted to do a 'soft credit check' on me! They even asked for my SSN and DOB! WTF! Why the hell do they need this info if I am paying with ApplePay or my Credit Card? Idiots.

Only works with an Apple TV. But can stream from other devices through the Apple TV.

So I can hook a TiVo mini to my TV and then the TV to an Apply TV 4K and use ARC/eARC to play the TiVo mini sound though the HomePods via the Apply TV 4K?

My shipping address does not show up when I start to type it and was the reason my previous order was cancelled a couple months ago. Lots of quirks and difficulties with their checkout process! Great deal and if I could, I would order one. 😩
