    HomePod HomePods and Multi Room Music.... Ropey as.... Where to start here?

    This thread is tricky to keep focused - theres just so many problems. There are other threads of course discussing various aspects of this not working. I am so surprised at Apple here. HomeKit and multi room music has been awful for a long time, but with each new 'update' it seems to get...

    HomePod HP2: Anemic like the mini?

    Just finished Brian Tong’s excellent review and listening test video for the new (2023) HomePod.

    HomePod Third-party power cords?

    Do you think you we’re going to see third-party power cords now that the cable is removable? An option to buy, say, a 3-meter power cord, would be a huge reason for me to consider it. Maybe we can use this thread to post any links to them.

    I have a full size HomePod in the living room. I mainly use it to turn the lights on and off along with playing music. A few days ago I was watching a video that included someone saying "Hey Siri". After that, I've found she speaks to me in a different language most of the time when I ask to...
