Across the Atlantic, he
is possible to pre-order Apple's new smart speaker from
little. And as the first deliveries approach, which will take place on9
next February, first impressions from a journalist
who have been able to test the beast are becoming more and more numerous. It is therefore
the opportunity to take stock of all of these returns, in order to draw a
first idea of the quality of this HomePod, announced several years ago now
month already. And unsurprisingly, as seen in our latest reports
of testers' impressions, the speaker knowsseduce the ears of
his listeners:
This is in fact what various specialists who were able to listen to
the beast in test rooms at Apple, in New York and London. By
example, for
Avery Hartmans de Business Insider, the sound isincredibly
bon, both powerful and precise, with good bass, vocals
clear and overall, a verybalanced
musique.
In the same sense,Brian Heater
de TechCunchunderlines the effort made by Apple to leave the HomePod
highlight in a particularly astonishing way the frequencies of the
voice. This has the effect of recreating a sensation of "live" music, coming out of
studio.
Other journalists were also seduced, such as
CNET's David Carnoyet
Rhiannon Williams de iNews UK, even if for the latter two, the most
strong impression is to be credited to a configuration instereo
two HomePodsplaced close to each other. It is with such
two-listening system that the HomePod is really gaining momentum according to
them.
Jeremy
White de Wired UKis on the other hand more reserved and regrets a
lack of definition in mid frequencies, the big one
weak point of the HomePod according to its listening impressions, despite bass
and very good treble.
Overall therefore, likeChris Velazco
they Engadget, or evenThomas Tamblyn du
Huffington Post UK, the HomePod seduced the first ears to come to
his.
It should be noted, however, that all these tests were carried out in
premises at Apple, and therefore rooms probably prepared for listening
of tests. The most important and revealing tests will bethose who
the first deliveries will follow, i.e. after February 9
next.
It also remains to be seenspeaker capabilities beyond sound
speaker role, particularly in terms of intelligent functions,
Siri and HomeKit especially.
Finally, it should be noted that a mystery has been resolved regarding a detail of
Apple HomePod. Indeed, while the HomePod page on the Apple website
does not indicateno power cable present in the box,
It turns out that the speaker will come with a removable and replaceable cable.
The Apple company should sell power cables for
HomePod from February 9 in its stores and online at a price
still unknown.
