Apple’s HomePod launched long after Sonos, Amazon, and others put out smart speakers, and the result is a product that emphasizes superb sound over Siri. So how does it compare to the Sonos One, which does multi-room audio and works with Amazon’s Alexa? Senior Editor Lauren Goode compares the two in the latest episode of Versus. Subscribe:

Do you prefer smart speakers that support your main streaming music service?

Obviously anyone shopping for a HomePod is an existing Apple product owner. Also, to my knowledge Sonos is Siri and AirPlay 2- compatible in addition to Assistant and Alexa, not mentioned in this comparison.
HomePod= AirPlay 2/ Siri compatible, superior sound.
Sonos One= Half the price, multi-room wi-fi audio, and yes Alexa/ Google Assist wiretapping included.
Who else now has Carbi B playing from their Apple product?
Vilken är bäst
What’s best for a guy, but I don t know the villa is to keep home Giller Apple’s Apple product, many of them
Apple HomePod is better
All the stuff in this video you can actually do now with the homepod you can actually listen to Spotify and Pandora on the speaker now without having to use your phone to do so now why would you want anything more than those three that’s mostly what people listen to anyways and obviously Apple music of course
I have Sonos. I like it. I bought them from Apple when apple use to sell them. My gripe with Sonos is that it doesn’t work well with imusic & random isn’t really random. I hear the same songs being played like a list. Not sure what to do? I’m leaning towards HomePod cause I use apple products. I have 3 Sonos‑1’s.
Hello, is there any difference in the quality of the audio when using Airplay vs. Apple music. please advise.
Watching this now all Lauren’s complaints have been addressed by Apple (with 3rd party music this fall). It’s been nearly perfected!
HomePod — Think Different LOL!
HomePod is really good
Oh, so your name is Lauren. You’re so adorable, Lauren 🙂
Awesome format, thank you 🙏
The last part is the best part ❤️💕
sonos is a lot more expensive when you try to get a full home theatre system. Only one product of theirs has dolby atmos and only 3 products have a line in port. If the homepod can have multi room support and expansion to stereo I would consider moving away from Sonos to homepod. Though the sonos ikea partnership is pretty freaking amazing
I prefer the speaker liked by Lauren.
lost interest when she said Cardie B.
This is how I want all product reviews / comparisons. It’s fantastic.
Those blue nails are disgusting
Please don’t says “Hey Siri” 🙄
Not really a review. Nicely done, but more like a showcase. Witch one sounds the best?
wow, very interesting video

HomePod is a pretty prison. Why does Apple hate its own users?
The good old days of Verge, Versus by Lauren Goode
WARNING: my homepod i bought in april 2018, broke down in early january 2021, and is now totally dead as a doornail. I have tried every means of getting it to work, following every tip on the internet, but to avail. I phone apple who, unhelpfully, told me to take it into the apple store. I’ve checked online for other victims of similar problems and it seems it will cost me £200+ to get it fixed.
Considering how much this thing cost and it’s only 2.5 years old and has broken completely I shall not buy an apple product again.
sonos is horrible it has so many problems working on ios vs os . DO NOT BUY unless you want to deal with so many problems connecting.
I’ve owned both and did A/B testing in the same room. Sound quality is comparable after you run the initial adjustment process with the homepod. Sonos has more of a sound ecosystem if you are using it for movie/tv sound. Homepod has the Siri functions. I do like how Sonos sells speaker stands. I didn’t know you couldn’t pair Homepods in stereo, I thought that was possible and even in the day 1 demo on stage.
4 year later and The Homepod is history now…like i said Sonos top of the line.
Omg it’s soo cool. The whole act is informing and entertaining.
Well Apple discontinue doing HomePod. And now they’re doing the mini one.
homepod sounds better
Been setting my HomePod mini off this whole video lol
That was a surprisingly fun video to watch.
Give Apple credit where it is due.. Apple Music can finally be accessed in the Sonos app and played on Sonos speakers.
Listening to both playing the same, the HomePod for sure wins.
Just apple👑🍏
