   I use two homepods as a stereo pair for Dolby Atmos sound from my AppleTV. Netflix is a lot nicer now.

   "The 9 best home speakers…." Missleading title….
   Where are they? I don’t see them. I only see some small wireless speakers…
   This is NOT what I would even consider calling a "home speaker"…

   I PITY people who listen to this garbage. It’s like watching Apocalypse Now on your smartphone.

    Lol… Apple is the best home assistant? It’s terrible and constantly scores the lowest of all home assistants.

    I thought this test was for "wired" speakers that are plugged in. The Sonos move was not wired.

    How come bose portable home speaker was not included? It’s a flagship portable and smart speaker

    No mention of Bang and Olufson or Bowers and Wilkins Formation? Can you explain that?

    A big LMAO when HomePod is voted for smart assistant feature. And the Bose home 500 isn’t 360, it’s stereo.

    I wish you had ‘best as stereo pair’ category.

    I’ve got to say, what a bag of shite speakers are today. Its like were going backwards and really you’re buying a smart home assistant that can play one of a few limited streaming services. Got a collection of your own music? tough. Have digital music collection then? nah mate. Can I hook any of these up to my PC? don’t think so. You might get stereo! and you will need your phone out with the right app loaded just to tweak anything about this piece of hardware sat right in front of you.

    Why was the HomePod in this recommendation video? I know it’s a good speaker but it’s public knowledge it’s been discontinued. It’s not even on apples store to buy anymore. Kinda pointless recommending a speaker that no one can buy.

    Yamaha musiccast line?

    Test Naim mu so qb2 speaker! It is top rated speaker right now…

    
    
    
21. JunkyVirus on June 16, 2021 at 1:42 am

    Can you connect all Sonos brand speakers? Like the Move, One, Five etc? And also with their soundbars and sub?

    
    
    
22. Bronco0815 on June 16, 2021 at 1:43 am

    What about the Sony SRS-RA5000? The xb series are mit really Home speaker

    
    
    
23. noupot on June 16, 2021 at 1:43 am

    The Ultimate Ears with its micro-usb connector in 2021, it makes me laugh…

    is B&O not even worth a mention? damn.

    Tbh in 2021 it’s only worth it if you buy it from RatedGadgets

    homepod, if your watching Netflix, listening to a podcast, listening to soft music during the week and best of all having house parties, it gets the job done. Super awesome

    No Echo Studio?

    
    
    
28. ObsessiveCichlidDisorder on June 16, 2021 at 1:54 am

    Sonos Move’s battery life is 11 hours. It gained an extra hour battery life from a firmware upgrade some time ago.

    HomePod mini is the best. By far. I love it. Beautiful small, but great sound and the loveliness of Siri.

    I sold my HomePod Mini which was a nightmare to use with my Mac and bought a Sony SBS-XB33 which is a fabulous speaker

    
    
    
32. Jayh00 on June 16, 2021 at 2:00 am

    It seems your making these decisions based on hardware and not software. Google’s assistant is far superior to Siri. They are years ahead in every respect. Hell even Alexa is better than Siri.

    
    
    
33. Richard B on June 16, 2021 at 2:01 am

    $300 Homepod vs $100 Echo, seems like 2 very different price points. Why not vs $200 Studio? Which is still a third less, so a significant point.

    
    
    
34. Donna Reese on June 16, 2021 at 2:01 am

    No more Sonos for me. They changed it and it wouldn’t play music off my iPhone. They change them where you are forced to upgrade.

    
    
    
35. Jared Salem on June 16, 2021 at 2:01 am

    Sir is just so bad

    
    
    
36. jmchez on June 16, 2021 at 2:03 am

    I don’t see the Echo Studio on that table. Seriously? The Apple Pod as the best voice assistant? LOL!
    It’s unfortunate, but your credibility just cratered.

    
    
    
37. hathaway2go on June 16, 2021 at 2:03 am

    I wonder if you guys tested the Citation suite from H/K, I can’t find it on your website. I have a 100 and I’d like to see how it’s comparing

    Hi can you make review for this monitor msi optix mpg341cqr please if able thk

    
    
    
39. Michael Mock on June 16, 2021 at 2:03 am

    Its a pitty you did the comparison now, as it is just a couple of weeks until denon is activating its Smart Assistant Microphones on the Denon Home Speaker line via Firmware Update.

    Что ж ты такую пургу с кислой рожей гонишь? Оно так звучит?

    
    
    
41. jpnz on June 16, 2021 at 2:05 am

    Can Rtings review conventional speakers too in the future? That would be a dream!

    
    
    
42. Stephen on June 16, 2021 at 2:06 am

    Where is the mention of any of the Google/nest speakers? Missed the mark on this one guys

    
    
    
43. Zubin Arjani on June 16, 2021 at 2:06 am

    I’m surprised, no mention of Marshall speakers, can you pls do a review of their voice enabled speakers they have a few now in their lineup, thx.

    Why no Party box speakers ?

    
    
    
47. Dick fitzwell on June 16, 2021 at 2:13 am

    Finally home speakers! Favorite review channel with my indepth specs. Do the Bose portable home speaker and similar Bluetooth speakers

    
    
    
48. Andrew Volozhanin on June 16, 2021 at 2:13 am

    Could you test a Xiaomi smart speaker?
