    How Does a HomePods Surround Sound System Compare?

    Curious how a (two) HomePods setup compares to a good soundbar (like the Bose “TV Speaker” soundbar). I know the HomePod Mini doesn’t support Atmos, but with a high vaulted ceiling, I don’t benefit from Atmos anyway. Also curious about the base if anyone has experience.

    HomePod Is possible to set up home pot with multiple languages?

    Hey! I just got a home pod mini and I would like to know if it's possible to set up for more than one language. I had a Google Home Mini and it was possible to have two languages —English and Spanish for example— but it seems that on the HomePod is not possible. Am I wrong?

    I purchased several HomePod Minis to use around our house. Our household consists of two adults and three children with their own Apple IDs. I was excited for each of us to be able to use "personal requests." I was quickly disappointed when almost every time any of us asked "Hey Siri, who am I?"...
