Review Apple HomePod by Les Numériques
Warm sound rendering and very beautiful presence of voices.
Amazing spatialization (especially in stereo configuration).
Omnidirectional sound emission.
Very good voice recording.
Simple to set up.
Impeccable manufacturing quality.
Treble slightly set back and lacking definition.
Limited maximum power.
Compartmentalized in the Apple universe (no Bluetooth, no Spotify?).
No splash protection.
