Choosing a smart speaker, sound quality is naturally an important consideration factor, but if it is produced by Apple, users will expect it to have more interesting features. Earlier, Apple launched the second generation HomePod, in addition to improving the listening experience, it also added new features such as temperature and humidity sensing, which can be used in conjunction with smart home appliances connected to HomePod, such as automatically activating a fan when the temperature exceeds the set value.
In terms of design, there are not many changes in the design of HomePod 2. The main change is that the touch surface extends to the four edges, making it more convenient to operate. It can also provide different lighting effects as needed. For example, it displays white light when playing media, displays colored light when using Siri, and displays green light during calls or when recognizing sound.
As for the sound quality, HomePod 2 has improved bass performance, with a built-in powerful motor driving the diaphragm with an amplitude of up to 20mm. The bass equalizer can adjust the low frequency in real time, creating a deep and powerful bass effect while ensuring consistent tonal balance. With the help of 4 equalizer arrays, the external pressure of the speaker is measured to present the best bass tone. As for the high-frequency speaker array formed by 5 beams, along with specially designed tweeters, speakers, and neodymium magnets, it ensures clear presentation of all details, including guitar strings and the emotional color of vocals.
