I know it may sounds like a stupid question.

Does HomePod2 sounds way better than the speakers of a M1 MacBook Pro 16? Or is it just marginally better? What about two HomePod2?

I am thinking of getting the HomePod2 for musics, podcasts and sometime playing the sound from Youtube?

Don't have a MacBook pro, just a Studio display and original Homepods.

HomePods are in a totally different (higher) league. Compare the woofer travel length and total sizes, not even considering the tweeter differences.

I have the OG homepod and I feel there's no comparison. The homepod is by far superior.

That is my current set up, I play it directly from my M1 Max MBP 16. The sound is good, but I always wonder if the HomePod2 will make it much better? and How much better?
